great to see the technology for the livestreaming take a leap forwards

To be fair though, they beat a Brisbane team missing 4 of their starters, half of their bench, and fielding a 40 year old Sam Mackinnon, while also being Brisbane's first ever game together.

Don't forget ME, Brisbane were also handicapped with Walker as well...
Pre-season should be taken with a grain of salt and be a chance to look at individual players and see how they perform in different situations... I didn't get to watch too much, mostly just the 2nd quarter, but Te Rangi seemed to be outmatched by the opposition... Not sure if it was because he was being used as a ball handler and that just isn't his bag of tricks or not, but it will be an interesting year for him...
Was great to see Sammy Mac back out there though...
Is it me or is the stream very bad?

I would've watched if I'd known Mackinnon was going to be out there!

Yeah, the quality seemed to improve around the 2nd Q.
Would love more preseason games to be streamed live. They can definitely do something there with advertising, etc. to make it worthwhile.

It's good that NBL teams are missing players when they face college teams, it generally makes for a close game and gives their younger players a good chance to play minutes against players their own level.

@Anon - Walker isn't with Brisbane, their roster is full, I suspect that he's just up there to fill in with a lot of their roster not playing...
Agree with the streaming and I don't think it's hard to work in advertising either... Chuck a few logos up, have the commentators plug them going into timeouts, etc... If it gets more exposure to the fans across the country, the better... Great for OS fans of the college teams as well, but it's a shame that this seems to have been the motivation behind streaming the games instead of doing it for local NBL fans...

Yeah, they certainly have the ability to play a video or two during breaks as we saw last night.
Let's hope its the start or something all teams start to do.

@ Train: if you haven't found it yet, there was a boxscore linked in the game report on UCLA's twitter feed last night.
