NBL 2019/20 Season - Congratulations to the Perth Wildcats

[Royces Hart]

Organised Chaos!!

I’ve noticed that he’s added “in his grill” to the repertoire this season and giving it a fair smashing.

Cotton is cookin now

 

[Biggie]

OH MY

 

[Shifty1]

Eat that Utd!!!

 

[amazingjoshy]

Bryce Cotton has been absolutely embarrassing so far.

clunk clunk clunk

went too early

 

[Shade]

Ok im all in with the NBL Watching last night and this arvos game has me hooked.

quality has improved vastly to what it was

 

[FreoRicci]

Cotton. He’s brilliant

How bad has the TV coverage been this season? Seriously amateurish from NBL. No commentators at the games. Awful

He's going to go down as one of the Wildcats GOATs

In an interview last year Cotton said it was a bit of a 'thing' back in high school (or maybe it was even college) where he would regularly play bad in the first half but then come out and drop 20-30 in the second half and finish best on court. He said now that he's a pro whenever he starts bad he just thinks back to when he was younger and it settles him mentally and gives him his confidence again.

Cotton is an absolute beast #MambaMentality

Been watching regularly for about 4 seasons now and yep it is a classy league now. Great talent on show nowadays

Michael Aylen is turning into the NBLs version of razor ray

Was a very good ref in his prime, but he’s gone about 3 years too long, and is far too sensitive these days.

The bench warning he gave to the Wildcats today was a joke.

 

[nahnah]

Really looking forward to SEM v Wildcats

until he tells a player he'll award a foul because spirit of the game, he hasnt reached afl levels yet

Dunno, the era of Uber Flogs Andy Vlahov, Scott Fisher, Gazey, Lanard Copeland, Tim Morrissey, Phil 'scared of Magic Johnson' Smythe, Brett Maher etc is pretty hard to top for biggest ****heads in one time in the NBL

What on earth did Brett Maher do to be on a "uber flog" list? Granted i might be biased but i dont recall Maher ever doing anything that would make him despised (maybe the odd whine to the ref, but if that was the case Gaze would be the on the top of the list). Same with Lanard Copeland, I always enjoyed watching him play and cant recall anything inflammatory he did.

Got a grudge from the 36ers beating the Vic Titans in a couple of grand finals, to be honest He was a champion player though I admit.

As for Copeland, as an old school North Melbourne Giants, than Titans fan, Copeland was easily the most annoying/hated Tigers player from those heated rivalry clashes in the 90s. Guess you had to be there but those Melbourne derbies in the 90s and early 00s were pretty heated.

Actually really hope United revert back to the Tigers, and let's start up those old rivalries again. It's hard to feel the same loathing for a plastic, bland (If not soulless) entity like United.

I certainly agree with you that the only thing (other than 48 min games) this NBL is lacking is genuine rivalries. I know why they have done but it would have been great to have the Phoenix revert back to the SE Melbourne Magic and United revert back to the Tigers. The Magic players could have entered the court through Tony Ronaldson's huge ass (a noticeable absentee from your flog list).

And let’s not forget Andrew Parkinson.

From his wiki, lol

Parky now plays at MSAC and is regarded as the dirtiest player in K-grade.

 

[The_Game_1981]

From memory its happened once or twice in the last couple of years where he's absolutely butchered it in the first half clunking everything and not looking any good

And then he went on to score 20+ in the 2nd half

Yep 0 points up til just before 3 quarter time then 27 points and the daggers in the 4th and overtime against the Kings last season.

The man just knows how to turn it on when the game is on the line.

Made it harder than it had to be

Hawks coach has gotta go, he's just not up to it.

Bring back Bevo!

 

[djrossie16]

Been enjoying the NBL this season. Like what they're putting out there on a regular basis. Seems to be many close thrilling games. Sydney with their MVP laden roster will be hard to topple if everyone is fit. This Will Weaver is an interesting chap. Wonder where he'll go as a coach after Sydney. His mannerisms are interesting to watch lol

 

[The_Game_1981]

Lisch has been ruled out for two months with a knee fracture.

 

[Genesis67]

He's going to go down as one of the Wildcats GOATs

42 and 53 will hang from the rafters as soon as Damo is done.

#11 will be next after that.

Maher complained to/about the refs more than the rest of the competition did combined. Notorious bitch.

Don't understand the Copeland comment tho. Great to watch and by all reports was a great guy.
