Cotton has not officially been announced yet so i doubt he will be playing.

John Casey commentating

Does anyone know how to Chromecast the Ooyala player?

Foreman man

Top 5 NBL shooter all time, possibly top 3, possibly top 1

Anyone else getting continuous dropouts on the nbltv app?

This has been a surprisingly good game so far, and not just because John Casey is on the mic.

MVPRATHER

Casey is a God

Perth exceeding expectations so far.

'Anyone else getting continuous dropouts on the nbltv app?'

Only the continuous drop outs in quality

Small buffering issues but nothing to speak of really

'Perth exceeding expectations so far.'

Defending champs gonna defend

DKD with the Brett Rainbow three!

'I'd pay more money to get a better live streaming app, it's crap, up grade the system or I won't bother watching even though it's been a wonderful season.'

Same

Wroe is me........amirite

Worries him out of the points

"Anyone else getting continuous dropouts on the nbltv app?"

Yep. Trying to watch on an iPad and it errors out after a minute every time. Tried deleting and reinstalling, restarting, etc. No luck. Am able to watch on a laptop though via the website.

Alternate unis for at least one of these teams would be ideal in this game...

Come on boys

Some good D on Oscar this quarter.
Hasn't made a difference though!

Cody Ellis really needs to give up that beard dream

Thanks, Flog
*eyeroll*

Was that tech on Gleeson?

When Foreman is on it is unfair

I dont get it, perth player going out of bounds, fips ball back onto gong player who is still in court , then the rebounded ball first hits the perth player, who is NOW out of cort , and the call is to perth - when was the rule change ?

My apologies to the flog. Evidently that one was on Nielsen.

Cheers Trev

Rhys Vague has 0 points

wtf was that a goaltend ?

Looked pretty clear on the replay

The ratio of charges to blocks is unacceptable

Why the hell has McKay only played 16 minutes so far? 14 points, 4 reb and 2 assists. Should be playing 30+ a game

Flopage with a charge that 2 seasons ago would have been 2 points to perth. Coach is a flog , zero confidence

I can't fault the wildcats effort today, it's just that we don't have Oscar and they do

Kobe, the ref ruled that Martin's foot was out of bounds when he touched it. And ref was right

@Luuc agreed, i didn't give Perth a chance in this game. Lose this game and i still have enough faith with Cotton and Martin coming into the team.

Dextahhh!
Some nice minutes

Why did they take Forman off??

MVPRATHER

So will DKD get meaningful minutes now Trev?

ermeeerrrghheerrrd

MVPrather just had a costly brainfart

Ha-Wildcats!

Correct

OMG

I'm pretty sure Lachie says Ha-Wildcats

CAAAAARRNNNN PERTH

JAMEAL!

'What a win by Perth. did not see that coming'

My feed is delayed. Game rekt

:(

Series split still up for grabs

Ogilvy the sook

not over yet lol

ok now it is :P

Gutsy win!!!
Was not expecting that, great win.

Pelicans and Cats won

What a great birthday present for me :)

That was all heart. Massive win for the cats! Still some life left in this team.

Considering how bloody close the season is, there's no way you can write anyone off (except Brissy with the 2 devastating blows)

Don't write them off just yet, can never underestimate the mettle of the reigning champs. Well done Cats.

Also suck it Wagstaff haters

Wags was huge.

Happy birthday Mikey :)

Is no one going to mention Kernich-Drew and his big 13 points? Trevor finally gave him some minutes with Jaron gone and it paid off

^he got fouled + a tech

you can hit 20 threes, the one that matters counts! All heart and balls! That's been missing all

season. Great win and happy New year to all!

Well bugger me, our coach has finally worked out a partial solution to our poor outside shooting had been on the bench the whole time, give Dexter a chance and you can see what he can do. Sure he will have a couple of brain fades from time to time, but right now he is our best option.

It looks likes we still have a pulse, if only slight, must really annoy quite a few on here :)

Tech was for abuse by AJ. Foul was for a grab on the rebound, Hawks were in the penalty, so (it's not hard to work this out) 3 shots and possession.

And earlier tech not on Gleeson, was on Matt Neilson for entering court to tell the other 2 refs that the other wasn't ready

Yup.. Take Wroe out and put Bragg in. Bragg gives the penetration we've been screaming for. With him, Martin and Cotton, we should look a different team. They will bring Knight and McKay back into the game.
Really not been a big fan of Brandt, although maybe a penetrating guard can show me what he's capable of too.
At the moment he reminds me of Tony Ronaldson - before he was useful.
DKD also showed his value today. Want more.

For the record, I never thought JJ was right for this team, and don't believe he should have been brought back. But I do think circumstances made the decisions difficult for management.

JasonC

Brandt is handy depth guy IMO. I feel like his contributions have been improving in recent games. He's tough to stop once he gets a low catch, which hopefully he will be able to do more often once we start getting some guards back.

Brandt made some tough buckets tonight, don't get the hate

Yeah, so good to see so many guys step up.
Big Game from McKay.

And yeah, hard to draw too many conclusions from one game, but it looks like DKD stepped up in JJ's absense.

Cannot wait to see a backcourt of Damo and Cotton.

Jervis had won 2 titles, maybe he wanted a different scene?

Great game to watch, well done wildcats. Right behind you coach Gleeson out coach Bevo.

Bit of a worry when Oscar was 5/5 threes and Perth were still within a bucket.

Some concerning turnovers and an especially costly slip in discipline from Ogilvy. He should really look at any way to remove that aspect from his game.

" the rebounded ball first hits the perth player, who is NOW out of cort , and the call is to perth"

The Perth player being out of court means he becomes part of the out of bounds area. So the ball's interpreted as landing out of court when it hits him. Since it rebounded off the Illawarra player, Perth get to inbound.

That's not at all true. Never has been.

I think the ball touched the Hawk player while he was out of bounds? Foot on the line perhaps, so Perth ball?

Jervis was a huge fan favourite in Perth, so we were all sad to see him leave, and Perth would no doubt be better off had he stayed.
And yes, had he stayed I think he would have eventually cemented a bigger ("starting" role) but not in the short-term.
Irony is that with Perth going a different direction with McKay, Jervis would have had a bigger role to play even this season, but he couldn't have foreseen that. It was known that Cats were either going to keep Jawai, or use the 3rd import slot to get another Centre.
I ASSUME that eventually the plan was for Knight to move to the bench, and Jervis to start alongside an import PF.
Reality is though, that in the NBL, even one year is a long time. Jervis got offered better opportunity and he took it. Had Bairstow been able to play a full season, it might not have turned out that way.

Soo, if i step completely out of bounds on defense, and then touch the ball that the offense is currently dribbling, then the ball is out of court after being touched by a part of "out of court" and thus with the offense being the last in bounds player to have touched the ball , it become my teams' ball ?? -- I think not..

But I could be wrong - just quote the rule to me and I'll accept your view as correct.
