Who cares what Budgie thinks....... He's obviously an grumpy old man! I loved it! The two hosts do well making it just a chilled out fun overrun of the world champs so far! Would like to hear a bit about the other teams tho!

Maybe we should have had Roy and HG doing it. Although thinking about it, that might have blown the ABC sport budget for the year.

Content and hosts are a B+. Could have more content/bloopers/funny things from other games/countries

Production quality and set are a D-

They look uncomfortable standing up, sitting behind a desk would be better and as much as I say it, they need a laugh track. Whatever audience/laughter they have suck.

Ronnie is an actuall Bball fan and knows his stuff. But u can only work with what they have. Which isn't much at all.

It's ok for what it is.

Double Dribble is as good as the in-studio commentary with Smyth, Greer and whoever the sheila is - terrible.

At least Heal and Casey have been solid. Really hope Casey comes back to the NBL.

I'm enjoying the coverage a lot more then what we got the last world cup (twitter updates).

Double Dribble has its moments (good and bad).

I thought the studio team did well.

I thought the second episode was a lot better than the first; snappier and with fewer lulls. Agree that they should sit behind a desk. Ronny Chieng is generally funny as a sardonic/deadpan comedian, whereas here he's a little out of his comfort zone.

Oh and there are people on this forum who still use the word 'sheila'? Really?

Stephanie Brantz used to host the NBL games on Channel 9 a few years ago.

Casey and Heal have been good. I mute whenever Smyth and co come up though. Haven't watched Double Dribble - the potential for cringe outweighs any likely benefits. It might be targeted at the general public, perhaps.

Its a bit light on material, but they can only work with what they have.

I think its pretty good. Not cringeworthy at all in my opinion. It is what it is.

Aiming for the general public more so than basketball fans I think.

Oh man, this show is awkward. There should be at least a promo with Ronny power dunking on lesser people, like there is no tomorrow, BOOM-SHACKA-LACKA!

The hosts have no chemistry at all. Surprising from the 'Chieng Reaction'. Agree with previous poster that Ronny should do some power dunking.

For examples of Ronny's power dunking prowess check out the following link

Be grateful it's even on TV, basketball is usually overlooked by every station in Australia

Its not the greatest show,m but its a bit of fun.. just 8 minutes of mixed bag randomness.. why criticise it so much?

Wow, what a transformation from episode 2 to episode 3 and beyond. So much more energy from Dave, Ronny and big-man Gaze, and that seems to have really helped the delivery of the humour.

Use of NBA Jam was a big highlight during a recent episode!
