NBL 23/24/25 Season Thread

[El Doederino]

Makes sense if it was to Rucker for putting him 12th

Yeah Davis said something like how many are better than me?

And I think Weston was just saying about how close they all are

Anyway, words are cheap if they can’t back it up next game. They have the starting 5 to be one of the best in the comp no doubt.

Sydney getting a nice little ride from the flogs in green

Sydney getting a nice little ride from the flogs in green

37 free throws, quite a free ride indeed. But you can’t have the NBL Kings losing 2 in a row.

The NBL would love an all Sydney grand final series

When does the second Sydney team arrive?

They're reviving the Razorbacks?

Lucky to not be a 4 pt play there….

 

[Verdun]

Couple of huge games today, looking forward to watching the Adelaide MU game.

Will be heading to JJs game against South East Melbourne tomorrow. Rate SEM it should be a good one. Passionate JJs supporter I, have loved their evolution and how they play.

keep rolling Adelaide

 

[Royces Hart]

How the hell did that foul on Davis get overturned?

Butler explains that because Clark fouled Davis first and Davis’ action was a retaliation, they then wiped the offensive foul.

Surely any action prior to the oncourt call is irrelevant, it’s not the NBA, where they can assess a foul on review. I’m not saying in essence it’s not the right result but it seems to be outside the scope of what they can actually assess.

It’s the nbl. There’s no scope, just a series of decisions made that don’t always go together

Maybe all that shit was cathartic

 

[ManOfClay]

100%

Friday night’s loss notwithstanding there’s been improvement from the Lightning since he took over the reigns.

Meanwhile, the club that trotted out some bullshit excuse about Ninnis ‘Not meeting standards’ has lost their last 3 matches by a combined 65 points against the 3 teams immediately above them on the ladder.

Imagine if they had played Illawarra or Melbourne United in the past week?

5 days later, back on track with two double digit wins over top three teams That’s the end of that chapter. All smooth from here. Right? Right?

 

[Verdun]

Great win to Adelaide - they are fun to watch almost like some kind of movie .....talented group / internal unrest / them against us mentality (the NBL / Melbourne United / DJV against Sydney etc etc).

Keep it going (except against the JJs) it is fun to watch.

Tassie ball handling this game, horrendous

Yep to many turnovers.

SEM smacked the JJs in the mouth in the first quarter, they moved the ball well and outrebounded the Jackjumpers.

I expect the JJs to bounce back kudos to South East Melbourne

 

[The_Game_1981]

Another casual 40 piece for King Cotton.

 

[The_Game_1981]

I'm of the opinion that the top 3 contenders for MVP right now are Cotton, Davis and Prather.
Who do you guys think the MVP candidates are right now?

Edit: Apparently the NBL agrees with me [emoji1751]

When you find yourself thinking this, cast your mind back to the glory days of BT and Dwayne “Drop Step” Russell calling games.

 

[ManOfClay]

This last 30 seconds has been crazy

 

[Royces Hart]

That feed from Delly and cut from White, how do they allow that, Jesus.

 

[ManOfClay]

Melbourne get the win despite nearly choking. Shea Ili chooses to jaw off post siren.

He’s a certified ****wit. His last 90 seconds were a shit off ball foul, a turnover and having the tying 3 shot over his head.

Awful defending at any point of the game, let alone in the last 5 seconds to give up the win

Shaun Bruce is a genetically engineered shitcampaigner.

Matched by Ili- who was Sydney’s sixth man down the stretch
