Sydney Kings play their first final against the Adelaide 36ers on Thursday.
Adelaide will get this, unless the Kings collectively pull their fingers out, play as a team and get out to a good start.
Timing is piss poor though.
The halftime show drew an audience of 133 million, making it the most-watched halftime show in 32 years and the most-watched ever.

Most watched, but the usual criticisms from those who thought it was the worst ever. To be honest Kendrick Lamar isn’t my type of musician and I wouldn’t have liked him regardless, but most of the criticisms stem from being unable to understand his lyrics.

For Australians it makes sense having a favorite football team on the west coast. And for many of us, that team looks set to be the Rams - Australia’s team.
Get set to see many of the boys swap out their beloved Raider Nation gear and jump aboard the Rams bandwagon.
With Rams pre-season games on 7+/7mate, preseason and in-season games on LISTNR, plus the ‘Rams revealed’ and ‘Between the horns’ podcasts, it makes sense for all Australians to embrace ‘Australia’s team’.
Thank fuck thats over. We threw it away in the forth quarter.
My team is the Chicago Bears and I’m sticking with them regardless - no matter how bad they are and can get.
Rams will pick up new Australian NFL fans for sure but for the many of us who have been following the sport for a long time - I’d imagine a majority will stick with the teams we picked.
The LIV Adelaide event will shift to a Greg Norman designed, purpose-built course as soon as 2028 as part of the Saudi-backed league’s longest existing commitment amid positive talks about “reunification” with the PGA Tour.
After a possible poaching bid from Victoria, with the current deal to play at the Grange Golf Club expiring at the end of 2026, LIV officials have committed to stay in Adelaide until 2031 despite a lack of clarity what the golf landscape could look like by that time.
Norman revealed the plan had been in the works for more than a year, as talks between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which has spent as much as $3 billion funding LIV, around a framework agreement stalled.
Ben Cameron, who is covering this weekend’s tournament at The Grange for ABC Grandstand, said the new course would be North Adelaide Golf Club, across the road from Adelaide Oval, redeveloped. The golf course will be open for public use when it is not occupied by LIV.
God, I hope LIV is gone by then. Well, as long as fragmentation is gone.
Why? Are you disappointed that its going well. 
Well there is the whole Saudi sportswashing thing…
It’s also not going that well - Adelaide is a success, sure. But no one watches on TV anywhere and other events are not as well patroned.
It’s golf for yahoos.
If you wanna get rowdy for a spots event, come to the darts.

It’s not really (apart from the Adelaide event for obvious reasons). Would like all the best golfers playing at the same place instead of this fragmented crap. Not really that hard to understand
