Getting sick of commentators calling Loughton "Lawton".
Also, everytime a shot misses it's "short", even if it hits the back of the rim.

Yep, seems to jump ahead then catch up again. Then a minute or so later it jumps ahead again.
In terms of the game, United don't seem to have made any changes to their offense to beat a zone. Kings straight into it and Tomlinson misses three after three after three.

Anstey getting into the game there...not a bad effort from the bench

Melbourne are going to be serious this year. But also really exciting to watch.
Wortho and Macrae are just ripping it up.

Perth are a mess on the defensive end. played little better in the second half, but their on ball D was terrible again and gaveup to many offensive boards.Right now with all due respect to Redhage, Wagstaff is the better player at this stage of their respective point their career and needs to be coming off the bench as a offensive sparkplug. He looks a lot slower and gets killed on defence. The only time the Cats looked good was Wagstaff and Ross(very impressive) were on the floor for Redhage and Hire.The Wagstaff and Knight combo look very good and Knight look like the Knight of few years ago when he was considerd the best big in Australia.
Still have to remember Perth is without their best player or someone who is considerd their best player in Daniels.Still defence looks really poor right now.

Melbourne looking every bit a top 2 or 3 side.
Still have Dennis to come and Worthington in great form.
Liking McRae my early tip for scoring title.
Cadee having a shocker.

Dominant win by United, with the Kings missing a few big names (United missing a couple as well).

Pleasantly surprised with Cairns. First preseason game for Gliddon, Wilbekin and Craig so I was surprised they gelled so well as a team. Trigger was awesome in the first half too.
Melb Utd beat Sydney 96-58

A big day of competition has wrapped up on Day Two of the 2014 NBL Pre-Season Blitz that saw both sessions again played in front of sell out crowds at NAB Stadium in Brisbane. With all eight teams taking to the court - Cairns, Melbourne, Adelaide and Townsville all enjoyed victories.

0/4 haha what a shocker.
Might save tipping for season proper.
So much for the arrogance for Perth winning 5 blitzes in a row.
