Wildcats are disappointed with their effort and defensive structure last round as they fell 0-2 to the Breakers on a B2B double header. It was surprising to see the Breakers dominated the Wildcats on the boards and outplayed them with the reserve squad.
Bullets have no dominant go to guy and rely heavily on an even spread of scorers to win games (similar to Cairns, while Jawai is injured). Buford and Trice are their leading scorers, they ranked 4th an avg 87.2 PPG but are leaking points by the truckload which is why they are 6th on the ladder.
Wildcats will be smarting from their 2 losses last week and have had a week to work on correcting their ever reliable defensive structures. The low line here is probably a perception that Perth is not good on the road with an 0-2 record thus far but am confident that they will be able to dial up their D and win on the back of better overall talent and depth. Go the Cats!!!

Adelaide will be desperate to rebound from a 3 game slide and couldn't find a better opponent than the Kings. Randle is a good addition for the Kings as he makes their offense flows. Not sure where JVG got his scouting report for Tyler from but words from his former club coaches and teammates is that he is soft, out of shape, lazy and has a poor work ethic and even called one of his former Chinese coaches a "box".
His played 2 games and fouled out on both of them, his body language on and off the court is terrible. Glaze will be having flashbacks dealing with Tyler just like he did with Josh Powell last season. This is not a sign when the Kings are in desperate need of a big guy to anchor their D and give them an inside presence. Myprediction is that this guy will be more of a disruption rather than an asset to this team. Time will tell.
It will take a few weeks for the Kings new imports to gel and my doubts for Gaze as a head coach at this level is still unchanged. Talent can only get you so far in this league if the coach doesn't know how to make good use of all the the talents as well as making good in game adjustments on the fly.
Coach Wright has called out his players (Johnson and Shorter) for lack of effort and intensity and I believe they will play with a chip on their shoulders tonight. This is the type of game that the 36ers have to win if they are serious about making the playoffs this season. Good bounce back spot for the home team.

Perth got the wake up call they needed against the Breakers and are 2-0 this round. Melb United is a fraudster of a team, Goulding & casper where??? are no shows again.
Another perfect 4-0 round
