Surprised it's not on Fox. Live stream seems a poor second option but does make it available to all. Should be on Fox too?

Nice, was wondering about whether it was good enough to broadcast in full.

Will be interesting..

Could turn into a brownlow / alan border type thing one day..

Is it being projected in 3D?

No.

Theres no point projecting in 3D only to broadcast it in 2D.. unless its to show people what it "looked like" in 3D through 2D means.

Anyone been able to create an account. I haven't had any luck.

Surely this is being streamed on the existing NBL Live app, right?

We'd hope so.. moment of truth ETA: 15 mins

Google it.

Stream will commence in 20 mins.

Streaming now on the site, countdown about 18 mins.

Don't understand why they need an email, full name, phone number and postcode.

Or why I can't watch this on a television.

I can understand it not being on TV because its probably not interesting enough to take up air time on free to air or fox.

No link on the app is strange though.

Without this thread, I wouldn't even know it was available to watch at all. No easily obtainable link on website either.

How did you get it Isaac?

OoORrhrhrhhhhh Yeaaaaaarrrhh, lol

WTF is that crap. Seriously we might have some USA imports but FMD....we do have some talent with an Aussie originality ...

Thank fk that's finished. More excruciating than Brad Rosen doing play by play

Ah fair enough, haven't been checking social at work.

Just got this going. The room looks good. Loving the Brownlow style MVP count.

Mayberry lol

I believe at the Swisse Wellness station you can also purchase an excellent bottle of fresh snake oil.

Nick Kay ROY. Predictable.

Hope the winning player is more worthy of the award than the winning ref :-/

Warrick 6th man. Was really only between him and Craig.

Kevin Lisch DPOY, oops!

CG43!!

I saw that. I'm assuming they haven't announced defensive player of the year yet?

I think Mayberry was given ref of the year just to spite me constantly pointing out how bad he is.

Pretty sure refs get bonus points for arrogance towards players and coaches.

I reckon Randle is too far back to have any chance.

he shouldve got there early and got a seat down the front.

Gee, I hope they dont show the MVP name for MIP.

Steindl most improved.
I don't agree.

Going well with the graphics

Would love to know the criteria for "best ref"...

Kickert's an interesting pick for All NBL first team.

Congrats to Randle, first team and DJ, second team.

NJot really it was only between him and Matt Knight imo.

Kickert with the ball in his hands is a step above NBL-standard, but at the same time Melbourne have Warrick and Majok to help cover up for his deficiencies everywhere else on the court. Still, hard to argue with his position in the first team, but if he played in Adelaide he'd probably be spoken about like DJ was before he left for Europe.

don't get me wrong I'm not in charge of the sydney kings

Why are they playing the same highlight reels over and over instead of spreading them out throughout the night.

And Dwayne Russell is horrible.

Crowd goes Mild.

Perth Wildcats kicking up a fuss on SM about not having Anyone in the first team.

No disrespect but I think they were IMO lucky to have Knight there in the 2nd team.

I would have had Warrick as my PF in the 2nd team.

Perth don't have studs but they have 7-8 very very very good players. Well Prather is a stud but Lisch and Webster justifiably ahead i think.

Was Jarrad Weeks eligible for MIP?

Would hate to be in that crowd tonight. What a borefest.

No argument here. We've had various players step up at different times of the season but no one worthy of first team honours.

Yeahhh Jerome! Great choice by the fans :D

Coach of the year goes to... the team who finished second last. In all honesty he did an amazing job with the players available and got the best out of them and most importantly they played for him with great passion and drive.

And my pick... Kevin Lisch wins. Well deserved.

Perth fans wouldn't want to kicking up a fuss they played a great team game but too many missed games individually.

I think the first team was mostly right. Think no cats deserved first team honours but did think Kickert was an interesting choice. But have to remember they are staying true to positions so in that case looking at all power forwards, I guess he was the best.

Loved Shawn Dennis getting coach of the year. So well deserved. I'm glad the likes of Bevo, Demoupolis or Gleeson didn't get it cos in all honesty, our teams are stacked. What. Dennis has done with his squad is outstanding and I certainly hope he and the Crocs have built enough of a foundation for their community to support them into the future.

Cant fault any of the selections (well accept the ref)and probably the best results for a fair while.

Still a lot to do on the presentation of the night though but heading in the right direction.

And congrats to Lisch. Well deserved. That's enough awards for the season now! Lol
Let's go RedArmy.

Congrats Kevin! Worthy winner.

Huge pick from Ingles for NBL Coach of the year! Great to have the NBA guys involved.

Nice guy finishes first!

But have to remember they are staying true to positions so in that case looking at all power forwards, I guess he was the best.

Just to weigh in on this topic.. I was thinking about this earlier that if you picked the best coach this year, I would probably say Dennis. He has done a hell of a lot with that young group, but, generally speaking surely you need to at least go .500 to actually get the COY. Find that interesting. I already know this won't be popular due to people's love for Gleeson bashing, and trust me normally I am one of them, but Perth finished equal top with the games missed by Martin and Prather as well as the way that frontcourt operated with Jawai and Knight. (something I didn't believe would work) Who knows, maybe it was actually Matty N doing all the work, but if you look at it on face value I think Gleeson was actually COY. Just my two cents.

Hey Anon,

Normally for COTY you would be looking at a team with a massive improvement towards the top of the table or leading the league but in this case Dennis was well deserved.

The reason: Many people at the beginning of the season would have predicted that Townsville would struggle to win any games yet alone be competitive for most of the season with by far the weakest list in the league.

This team made the league a whole lot better and made many more games relevant. This in effect had more of an impact than most other factors to the level the league reached this year. Well done to Shawn and his team.

Koberulz, NBL fb page. Post about first team. Few unhappy people.

Brian Conklin wins MVP now Shawn Dennis is coach of the year.

Jesus.

Imagine if this happened in a league with media coverage.

MACDUB, so you're talking about fans? Your initial post sounded like you were talking about the club.

I don't understand the reaction to Dennis winning COTY. "He deserves it, and was the best coach, but he shouldn't have won"?

As for the idea of Gleeson winning it...I can think of five or six better candidates.

The people complaining reminds me of the last time Lisch won MVP and Abercrombies sister writing an article which said the NBL was rigged and biased and out to get the Kiwis blah blah blah.

Lol, Lisch is the worthiest MVP in years!

The all time greatest article of butthurt.

Thanks for the fun trip down memory lane :)

"Randle 3rd is about right."

There's certainly no shame in finishing 3rd when you've missed nearly 20% of a season and votes are cast game-by-game.
He was a legit game-winner and great for the league. I really hope the 36ers find a way to bring him back next season.

Bit late to say it now, but I had a feeling Lisch would take the gong. He is so well respected that he'll poll well with opposition coaches. Could have been other worthy recipients too, but just had a feeling he would do well.

I don't understand the "voting system" for the All-NBL teams. "3 outside and 2 inside" WTF does that mean? Did they make that up just so they could have Chris Flopping alongside Lisch? Just as well Randle is a combo, or we'd have 3 SG's.
What's wrong with the old system of picking one player per position?

At the end of the day, these "teams" are rewards for individuals, they're never going to play.

The "voting" system for Defensive player is also weird, with each club only nominating one player. That's why AJ doesn't crack a mention, dudded by his own team.
Amazing that Martin still got close.

Good to see they got it right, and didn't give it to a one dimensional player. A more than deserving winner. Plays the game at both ends at a high level. Can't say i've seen him spit the dummy on the court either. Just get's on with the game and does what is needed for his team.

Regardless of how they do the votes they got it right this year.

Best 6th Man Award... had my doubts on the credibility of this one when Anstey won it.
Stephen Black and Stephen Hoare always my favourites. An import winning is a rarity I thought but 40% of the list.
