Melbourne vs Illawarra 16/10

Game about to start on channel 30.
Should be a good game. Illawarra have looked strong so far, Melbourne have their first win and will be looking to build on that.
Illawarra clearly have the better coaching staff. Will be interesting to see if DD still thinks that it's required to make a sub every single time there's a break in play. Melbourne might win, in spite of him, but he's going to do his best to bring them back to the pack this year (given their list is ridiculous).

Blanchfield is unconscious at the moment.

If Andersen shot like this in the Olympics, we would have almost been knocked out in the group stage.

16/21 from 3pt for Melbourne. They're not going to lose if they shoot like that.

I didn't really think that was a flop tbh. He just was put off balance because of the hideous pass from Kay.

Illawarra will provide great offense at both ends of the floor this season.

The hipster kids here on this forum want players like Goulding and Ingles replaced with kids in U16s that haven't proven themselves yet.

Impressive shooting by Melb, but their problem is they're not going to win many games if they don't shoot that well.
Just can't see them winning a championship playing that style of basketball

United will make top 4 because they just have too much talent not to.

But I'm not super impressed with them. Too many guys standing around on offense waiting for Jackson or Goulding to do something.

Other teams have more fluency and continuity. In a half court playoff grind will this team do any better than last year? At this stage I'm not convinced.

normally you see Goulding chucking it up ALL DAY. He is THE FAN though blanchfield was the man this game. Everyone on Illawarra was madly running and doubling goulding so he just kicks it out on perfect passes to Blanchfield, who was CASH MONEY today.

Gouldling with 7 assists doe. This man can do it ALL

Wasn't exactly an entertaining game for me. I also felt like the NBL phoned in the presentation of the last few games. I mean, where did the pre-game storyline go? Where's the extra window for the free throws? Where's the stage interviews?

They did it for the Wollongong vs Sydney game and then have spent the rest of the round sleeping on it.

United ran about 5 plays in a row through CG43 to Blanch who was hitting everything..... So what does DD do? Brings them both out of the game. Face palm.

Why does Odigie get minutes when others are warming the bench?

Yeah, Blanchfield hits 14 points in 6 minutes- mostly from hitting shots in the corner- and DD takes him out. Hot hands and out he goes.

Watching Bairstow vs Adelaide right now, why isn't Andersen killing it too? Watching Andersen at the Olympics, I thought he'd be a premier player in NBL. But not so far. If anything, Wesleys been the better option at the 4 for UTD.

Andersen is doing ok, good passer, but not scoring at the rate I expected after seeing him wheeling and dealing and showing us his moves in green and gold.
