NBL 2017/18

Remove this Banner Ad

Very deserving winners are United, from the regular season to the finals and their backcourt proved to be the best in the business which is critical in their success. Happy for the fans who were promised a championship, for the hard work from Goulding and Co who will provide another cracker season in 18/19 and prove to their counterparts they will be hard to beat.
Vickerman also a huge part in the success.

We don't want the Tigers history. Must United fans hated the Tigers as most were eitger Giants or Magic fans.

Yeah it was a good idea getting rid of the one club that lasted longer than all the other Melbourne clubs combined and making them into a faceless organisation hell bent on keeping the history that it's followers don't want.

Can only hope that the NBL and Kestleman realises that if the Tigers ever get back up they deserve what is theirs.

Obviously it was a good idea because most basketball fans in Melbourne hate the Tigers. People are voting with their feet as United are getting bigger crowds then the Tigers. Also plenty of Tigers fans understand why it was done and still follow Unuted.

Why not just start a new club?
Lets be honest, Larry changed the club from what it was to a heartless corporate entity that you seemed to have bought into.

United, isn't united as it broke the only Melbourne NBL club that lasted longer than the rest.

Because the idea was 1 club for all Melbourne basketball fans. Yes some Tigers fans have dropped off but many have stayed with United.

If its not working why are we getting bigger crowds then the Tigers?

United started in 2014?? I don't believe their crowd figures have been publicly shown but I do know that their highest crowd still isn't higher than the Tigers.

If your talking about the Tigers crowds from the 90s your right but if your talking in more recent times United flog them for crowds.

You are the one talking of crowds, I just showed you that the Tigers still have the record for crowd size over United.

United are a soulless corporate entity that have hit on peoples hate for the Tigers more than the love for their OWN club, technically you and others like you have been tricked into supporting the tigers in a new light.

For those of us that were happy to still support the Tigers and were treated like rubbish by the league who we had supported for years still will never support the club or the league who shafted us.

But shouldn't your frustration be with all the Tigers fans that jumpwd off? The reality is there weren't enough of them left.

Chris Anstey put it well when asked if he felt for Tigers fans. He said 'yes but I also feel for Giants and Magic fans who haven't had a team to support'
 
Was Involved in junior rep bball and had a lot of great players come through

The spectres and the tigers were always the power clubs

Tigers no junior domestic program but poached all the great talent

Spectres poached as well

( 13 year old playing division 1 changes club through romance , decimating previous club ) of course dumped pretty quickly

Players changing teams during season to enhance

State teams loaded with reps from those two narrow minded clubs and biased selectors

We won under 20s
State team
Tigers. 5
Spectres. 3
Eagles 1
Kilsyth 1

Gotta love that nepotism

I played juniors for Kilsyth back in the day and we were plundered back then, they always had a great set up.

Get off you soapbox mate. History is history, it won’t change. Who cares? LK has made basketball in this country relevant again and if you can’t see that you are a true hater.
 
Kay and Norton to Perth. Good gets for them, they really need some renewal in their local players as they've got an ageing local group. Could be in business with a few gun imports would need to upgrade Cooke Jr as a start. Steindl could be a great get if he gets back to playing how he was in the Crocs' last season.

Some talk about Bogut playing his last couple of years in the league.
 
Guys, not sure if this is the best place to post.

But anyway, was Bogut likely to have got an NBA contract next season?
