Good win last night, had a couple “down “ a bit, but managed to get the win.

Ordinary start, can’t shoot and can’t defend the paint

Cotton. Wow.

15 for the quarter

Cotton's the GOAT.

Hard to argue that

Lead from start to finish
Never in doubt

[Brodlach]

Plenty of time for the benchies

[Eagles2014]

Cotton's the GOAT.

Hard to argue that

Why don’t teams do what Sydney did to him last week, totally blanketed him and kept to 7 points

Or did he just have a once in a blue moon shocker?

Seems our title hopes rest on his shoulders and his shoulders only

Bul Kuol is probably considered the best one on one defender in the league and has a big height and length advantage over Cotton. Plus the Kings nullified him by smothering him with double teams to make someone else beat them and we couldn't do it.

Bit of a surprise the Perth Wildcats have released import Mason Jones.

Look forward to the return game
