    lol i get we all checked out of this comp months ago, but

    fuck the NBL is a dumb organisation at times. The regular season finished on the 8th of Feb. Now, 6 weeks later, the finals still aren't finished. Unless you are a Hawks of Melbourne fan, absolutely no one cares. Your chances of keeping the neutrals watching this far after their clubs finished, and a couple of weeks in to the footy are basically zero. How the fuck is this comp still running???

    Well another season and the NBL will be happy with the finals series going the distance and a smaller market team getting the chip again.

    Hawks were the best team all year. They had the best balanced back court and a supporting cast that went 9 deep.

    Hickey took a step up and played a blinder in Borge games 4 and 5. Froling was big for them before doing his achilles in game 4. Toddy Blanchfield turned the clock back and put in a couple of vintage shooting performances.

    Tatum has made an impact since day 1 of taking over. It will be interesting if offers start coming from him back in the US.

    United will be looking at some of their stars not named Delly and thinking they didn’t get nearly enough. Jack White’s foul shooting was shocking and it certainly got into his head. CG43 went quiet after a phenomenal year. Lee and Loe were foul prone to be really effective. Shea copped a bad head knock so wasn’t his dynamic best. The vet Ian Clarke was on fire. Tough shot after tough shot. Almost carried them to glory.

    So the Yanks destroyed last season and now they've cashed out. I hope the new guys care a little more about winning

    Not quite the NBL, but the NZ NBL (not worthy of its own thread). This Indian Panthers saga has been one ugly experiment.

    Indian Panthers suspended for remainder of NBL season amid pay allegations

    Indian Panthers suspended for remainder of NBL season amid pay allegations

    It comes after a turbulent tenure off the court since announcing they would join the NBL.

    Adelaide have signed Bryce Cotton for 3 years.

    Huge news.

    Meanwhile the Taipans don't even have a coach, let alone a roster. I hate this club and i hate this competition. Wondering if i even bother renewing my season tickets for the 18th year. It's just not fun.

    @Smudge Justin Nelson has a lot to answer for....
    With Otago leaving at the end of the season the league is contracting rather than growing.

    If John Rillie wasn’t there he would’ve stayed put.
