NBL 23/24/25 Season Thread

It was only Lowery that said that, wasn’t it?

Yep. Just another of his usual big takes that fall flat. It doesn’t matter, he’s paid to make them and just moves onto the next.

For Christmas I got my nieces and nephews tickets to the Wildcats Training Day

They do such a spectacular job. It was like 100 bucks but you get some gear too and players really take to it and do well

They put our AFL clubs to shame when it comes to community engagement in reality.

 

[latinoheat]

Good game by Rako, the head scratcher is still Brown Jr, all the talent but he can’t get into the game , getting outscored by Kenyon !! Sixers should cut him now, bring in another import, Cleveland would have been the ideal import .

 

[Gak Attack]

This could be the worst game of basketball i have ever watched. Hard to believe both teams are professionals. Seems punishment to the fans its gone to OT.

 

[ManOfClay]

It’s much more comfortable watching the Sixers play when Mayen is on the other team.

 

[ManOfClay]

Duke Jnr injury looked bad too unfortunately

 

[ManOfClay]

Bryce doing Bryce things.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Season over at this point

JLA been a big bust. He is too slow for the NBL nowadays
Duke Jnr/Jones were just rushed poor decisions.
A bench filled with guards who cant create for others
Absolutely no backup for Doolittle who just gets ran of his feet as we have no other rotation piece
A refusal to play our Next Star rookie despite the fact he is clearly very good and can contribute much more then Wagstaff/Okowera

Gut feel is we still finish top 6. go nowhere and Rillie keeps his job cos atleast we made the finals

Very frustrating player. So weak. Regularly has physical advantages over opponents but hardly ever makes use of it. Chucks up so much off-balance fade-away garbage.

9 point 3rd quarter by the Cats was abysmal. When your defence sucks, you gotta at least score some points.

Bryce excellent as usual.

Another 12 months of JLA too locked in as the highest paid Aussie player in the league .

Thanks for reminding me that he's on a 2 year deal

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Thanks for reminding me that he's on a 2 year deal

Mayen 2 years, Henshall 2 years, Dech 3 years, Okwera 2 years, Windler 2 year, Doolittle 3 years, JLA

Only one id want to keep is probably Doolittle of that lot and all are around for a long ass time. We will basically only have Duke Jnr, Wagstaff and Pepper off contract only... So the entire roster really is locked in already.

 

[Luuuc]

I've got no issues with most of those contracts. But when you spend big you want production in return.
If the standard of JLA's play was in the ballpark of the level of his salary then the Cats are a significantly better team.

#noregrets though !!!

#BryceWho

 

[Royces Hart]

JLA is also being found out by the improved standard of the bigs and their physicality, since he last played in the NBL.

 

[ManOfClay]

Tassie get it done

 

[Gak Attack]

Tassie get it done

Could not have tried harder to lose it.

They seem capable of beating anyone at times but are horrendous in the clutch. Hamilton especially as good as he can be at other times.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Dont think Sydney would be overly concerned with that loss. Just couldn't make a bucket in the second half.

 

[ManOfClay]

Scratchy Adelaide but hope that’s the Sydney monkey off the back

 

[brucetiki]

DJ’s 3 from the Kmart logo was epic

Especially after KD bricks an open one

Damn yeah if we’re winning playing like that it’s a very good sign

 

[latinoheat]

Think wells got his rotations just about right tonight. Would have rested cotton a minute or 2 more.

 

[eddiesmith]

Cairns just so, so bad…

 

[Gak Attack]

If only jackies could play melbourne every game instead of those hard teams at the bottom.

 

[Royces Hart]

Terry Taylor really does sound like the name of a white guy who came off the bench for Newcastle in the 80s, averaging 2.8ppg.
