42-17 26sec from half. i just cant believe we can be that bad.

Wonder if Smyth called a Timeout during that quarter or just let them 'play through it'

Looks like no one can step up in the absence of maher....not only physically out of the game, but mentally as well

knowing phil he would have let it run and given them the motivation speech at the break... i wanna know y maher hasnt been on court yet. anyone know?

and hes not playin at all? or is he just sittin it out for the first half or ... a fewa games? i havent heard bout the injury

think they're in need of an iron lung not a heart

No point now 28 pts down 1/2 way through 2nd qtr

laugh then cry yourself to sleep.

just run hill as much to give him the time and experience.

On the positive side, looks like Jacob is having a good game.

That's all I'm going by.

Breakers are on a 2-0 streak. Playing them at the Dome is no longer a guaranteed win...

If Maher is at all fit to play the 2nd half, he should. The odds of winning this game is remote but he could help save some embarrassment. With or without Brett, the contirbution from the rest of the team is well below average. The absence of one player should not be that obvious.

or he could blow his legs and be out for 3-4. i think you rest him and loose. we cant always rely on brett, people have to step up ie 4pt from farley, 0 from coop, 1 from hill. The positive is hill should get some time under his belt.

Cooper scores!

Whats our biggest losing margin ever? Surley that is in doubt

Oscar has 8 and 4.

Nino, I think someone said the Kings had 42 in the first quarter. That comes in equal tenth for the highest score in a quarter against Adelaide.

This losing streak is definitely top ten for worst in the club's history.

The Media Guide doesn't appear to carry stats for biggest margins.

he has 8 point 4 boards

He said he'd be calling me after the game not looking forward to that awkward conversation. haha

I bet he starts with "We were shit!".

Down 47! Would have to be their worst loss ever? Still 5 minutes to go and the Kings are already running 5 of their youngest players.

they turned up?

This is not good, down by 47, we will go down by at least 55 i reckon.....i think the players need to re-focus over xmas and then come out and play vs pigs on Dec 31 like they did at the start of the season

For anyone who cares melbourne are just holding off Wollongong which believe it or not keeps us in 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does it matter where we finish now? what is the who plays who system now. the old system worked better for mine.

Go Tigers!

Down by 49. Rebound count if you believe the NBL stats is 50-37 with 1:34 to go. Can't imagine that our percentages are going to be pretty!

Wonder if any drastic changes will occur after this one? Smyth is a pretty soft coach, but even he would have to agree something must change after this one.....

i could see some big change, what or who that is i dont know but how can that happen. We are not good at the moment be we are not THAT bad, where has this all come from?

maybe he could fire himself??

i just cant believe its the 6ers, normally you write us off at your own risk. We may not have the best team but we can kill you if you take us lightly, what do we have now...

Anon spot on, throw in 4 games in 8 days, 3 on the road (3 top 4 teams) and you have a recipe for disaster, easy to predict but hard to swallow.

To Annon #63046

if you think theres not much positive about jacob then you are a tool,

having a great season and apart from maher is probably the only player busting his chops for the entire game week in week out

tool

time for smyth to go now theres a knee jerk reaction

top 2 coach and time to go ffs idiot

Don't Give up on the 36ers cos if u do then you won't get ur present for christams!

hes taken a year of for study i believe

yep as i air mine all the time

it seems to me that our players just concede defeat if maher or farley arnt playing. they dont even give it a go. without maher where lost on the court and furthermore the players and coach just give up without maher.

true
