Just buzz off and stop using the name "anonymous", you don't like my post just buzz of and truck on and get lost. If you don't like it don't post, why don't you put some posts up and start a thread instead of just cry and whinge..

Rubbish anon, a great season and final season best for many years.
Lucky to go to 3 of GF including last in Melbourne and the attendance and atmosphere was huge .
Sixers shooting let them down in last,but standard been amazing and the depth in both GF teams as strong as ever been.
Good to see the revival of our NBL

Your profile is so uncharacteristically me it's not funny after that would be a lot of people from Melbourne so I'm with my boys and girls who I am not a time and place 5ft7 is 5th and 5ft7 I 've you got it is a good looking uber professional on your way to the point where I am not a time and place 5ft7 is 5th and 5ft7 I've had the opportunity to show it off here and there

I can't remember better either. It could have been one of the best finals series either but I think it ending in a blow out took that away for me. Either way the NBL is on the way up. It just needs to finally fix the United ownership issue. There's no doubt the NBL is in the best shape it's been since "the glory days", and we arguably have the best talent we've ever had in the competition.

The Tigers/Magic finals was memorable for me, as was the Magic/Sixers, Wildcats/Tigers, Giants/36ers, Crocs/Hawks (for regional bias), Dragons/Tigers; they were ones I thought were competed at a really high level. Most of those in the 90s when the league was at its highest but this one will go down as one of the best and was a great showcase for our league to potential sponsors and fans.

I think this felt really good because we have had 2 teams dominate the last decade and it got stale.

We can only hope the league goes onwards and upwards from here.

GF was good quality but not a great series, three blowouts and only one close game that only got close very late. SFs produced a couple of good games but weren't classic series by any means. Top 4 was decided two weeks out.

Overall a very good year, but I wouldn't put it anywhere near the best ever. Last year's regular season was more interesting than this year for mine.

It was the worst ever national anthem in history that's for sure!

In my mind, hard to beat 2001 playoffs as the best playoffs ever.

In the presentation they said this was the best GF series in the NBL's 40 years.

Pure hyperbole- Tigers vs Kings 08 was easily better as a standalone series, and also had added spice of being another instalment of a great rivalry.

In terms of the whole season, last year hard to beat.

Overall talent just as good, if not better this year but last year's season was better. Then, this year's playoffs easily better than last year.....

Summary

Top talent
Good season
Very good playoffs, not great though

I agree with LV I thought last season was probably the best ever but that could be a bias towards the Sixers cinderella season, predicted to finish near the bottom and finished top then choked in the playoffs. Last season's GF was ordinary but up until then it was an absolutely enthralling season.

When Melbourne loaded up this season adding Prather to an already formidable lineup the season did have a fait acompli feel about it. They were always going to win the title unless they buggered it up themselves. I'm just glad the Sixers took them to the distance despite losing Childress in Game 2, an incredible team performance.

"Best ever"? Nup - Tigers v Magic beats them easily, especially when you have 15,000 fans screaming their lungs out.
Standard kind of exaggeration these days, aimed at casual viewers rather than the hard-core loyal fans.

Was it gripping? yep.
Quality players? yep.
Reffing quality? Just okay.
Presentations at the end? Pretty poor and low-key
Entertainment? Painful, to a hard core Tigers fan like me. If we have to go THAT far to fill stadiums, then God help the game long-term.
