Hahaha yeah objective like Donald Trump

I think OP isn't aware what the definition of "objective" is.

An USF shouldn’t start a melee. An USF is an USF, call it and then the player DKD sticking up for his team gets a tech himself and the rest dealt with with reprimands post-game.

Not hard to solve

Not a bad summary. Teys is the low dog who started the whole thing and probably did so because of frustration at his own s*** game and USELESS career.

DKD overreacted but he is a passionate bloke who was sticking up for his teammate and was disgusted by Teys lack of class and sportsmanship.

You're being emotional - the unwarranted nature and time of the game is what makes it unsportsmanlike.

The fact it’s a DP is irrelevant. Welcome to the league fella.

USF was given, fair call; I don’t know what occurred post that foul wise but if DKD got away with the push without a tech then count yourselves having won the situation.

I think a lot of the leagues fans will take Perth preciousness with a grain of salt given the NBLs ability to let Perth get away with sneaky elbowing grabbing and unsportsmanlike behaviour which has become club culture as an apparent "defence".

Gotta love Perth fans. Walker started the whole thing with his gutless dirty play on a little DP so when Teys decided to get back at their DP he's the instigator. Walker and Teys should've been ejected and DKD should expect a suspension. It's a shame Walker has fully bought into Perth's dirty bully boy ways but so be it.

Yet another example of the refs being intimidated by the big Perth crowds and letting things get out of hand.

Teys targeting a DP who had done nothing wrong all game (since he hadn't even been a part of it) like that says a bit about his mindset and character, but it should have no influence on his penalty.

Teys is a loser in every sense of the word. I am going to make my feelings about this dud known to the Adelaide club.

Walker was acting like a flog all night.

Steindl has a massive red mark around his neck after the game. Did anyone see what Clint did? Shorter was going mental at him.

Walker is always a flog.

"Citing "unwritten bball laws" Teys has a point to be annoyed at this."

Ummm no that "unwritten law" is outdated. Percentage counts. If Perth miss out on home court due to 2 points do you think they will be saying "That's fine we missed out on home court because we did the right thing". Teys did the wrong thing, simple as that.

Anonymous, if you're not a fan of bully behaviour than Perth wouldn’t be the club to go for

Teys committed an USF and nothing more, he got called for it.

A number of reports have been made following last night's game between the Perth Wildcats and Adelaide 36ers at Perth Arena.
Adelaide's Brendan Teys and Perth's Dexter Kernich-Drew were both reported for unduly rough play arising from an incident in the fourth quarter.
Adelaide's Shannon Shorter and Perth's Lucas Walker were reported for leaving their benches during the same incident in the fourth quarter.
Majok Deng, Nelson Larkins, Anthony Drmic, Mitch Creek and Shannon Shorter (Adelaide) and Dexter Kernich-Drew, Clint Steindl and Jarrod Kenny (Perth) were all reported for engaging in a melee.

The reports will be now reviewed by the NBL Game Review Panel and any charges will be announced by 6pm Sunday. All players will be available for tomorrow's game at Titanium Security Arena.

That Walker headlock sling was just a nice cuddle for the little bloke right? Nothing wrong with it? One eyed support for both sides obviously blurring peoples judgement

The ref was standing right next to them too.

Whole bunch of cock waving in that stadium last night and nothing more.

^ yep, pretty much.

Which is fine btw. I don't think anyone wants actual fights to be occurring.

"But sure, pretend this is about Perth's physical style of play if you want."

Nobody said that.

People are simply saying - it was an USF and it got called for an USF. What's done is done.

What else is there to complain about? Teys was a bully? Teys was dirty?

We would be more sympathetic if Perth weren't the quintessential example of bully boy behaviour & dirty tactics. If you're so aghast by the proposition of bully or dirty behaviour, then don't support one who's reputation is stamped by it.

A lot of the more reasonable people would look at floggish behaviour a bit more objectively and see it from both sides.

I've been known to call out Drmic for bad and provocative behaviour, Shorter for having a short fuse and the likes of Ferguson last year who got provoked, sucked in and lashed out displaying amateur hour.

Last night Perth certainly weren't innocent victims.

People would clearly rather quarrel than discuss the whys and the hows. It's easier to do I guess

Good example of what KET is talking about:

https://youtu.be/aMcjxSThD54

The why is easy, poor officiating. That was boiling over the entire second half.


Is there any footage of this Walker incident, I haven't seen it yet, was it in the scuffle of earlier in the game
Also what was Brandt’s USF for earlier in the game?

"Last night Perth certainly weren't innocent victims.". Not sure if anyone is saying that and if they are they're wrong.
Innocent victim was the rookie, fortunately wasn’t hurt and looked pretty happy he made the shot.

Walker and Teys should've been ejected

I don't know what occurred post that foul wise but if DKD got away with the push without a tech then count yourselves having won the situation.

Yep. Refs no idea as usual.

Yes what Teys done was unsportsmanlike and dkd reaction was over the top.
The real issue was that both sides were frustrated with some pretty awful referring.
They got so many calls wrong it was mind numbing. Both sides and the crowd were confused..
For example sobey for his arms chopped under the basket when they were below his waist and the refs put him to the line saying he's shooting. He had only just grabbed the ball. There were also several fouls called when there was no contact at all.
Bad reffing creates frustration on the court and then it doesn’t take much for things to boil over.
Refs need to take some responsibility.

In all the years of Shaun Redhage the dog, karma is a bitch especially when its on a kid who really wasn't even part of the play (referring to before), but took the hit and made the play.

What I have noticed lately is lots of flapping of the mouth from every player. FFS, just play.

Areyyou saying DPs shouldn't be on the court unless it's a close game?

Percentage matters. Nothing wrong with playing to the buzzer, every team does.

I personally think Walker deserves a pat on the back, should've done more. It is embarassing seeing Larkins get court time he has no place in the NBL, he is garbage at Premier League. Have refused to go to a game since hes been on the roster, must be the ultimate coach's pet....

I hope Teys gets a game, DKD a heavy fine, and the rest get lighter fines.

That would be a fair result in my book.

#426 I'll give it to him that he does work hard. Not in anyway jealous of him being a DP, having a roster spot though would be a different story. My point is across the aprox 100 Aussie born players in the NBL he is out of place. Anyone with a basketball brain would know that.

Nelsie has played 30 minutes of NBL in 14 games over 4 seasons thankyou very much, stop being so mean to him! Joey keeps saying any day now he's going to actually develop.
