I just hope the NBL initially screwed up the times and that's what I had and Boti has been running with all week otherwise this is a joke some shitty cartoon on Go and nothing on NBL TV either.

Well FWIW my EPG shows both 36ers and Wildcats as starting at the same time, which matches what the NBL have been tweeting

Starters announced:

Joe Ingles
Jae Crowder
Derrick Favors
Donovan Mitchell
Ricky Rubio

Nathan Sobey
Ramone Moore
Anthony Drmic
Jacob Wiley
Daniel Johnson

Melbourne look awful, Wildcat v Jazz awful.

First half wasn't too bad, but it has really not been pretty since then.

Nick Nurse scouted Melbourne apparently.

Nah don't talk shit we are in for a smacking as well no doubt. Just enjoy the experience.

6ers up 4-3

It's all good JP, I am enjoying the fact I am watching the 36ers play a solid NBA team live on free to air.

The Jazz learning why we at Adelaide dont mind being the most hated team in the league haha

attack the paint!

All credit to adelaide they are playing very well. But the jazz are a different team without gobert, its disappointing we cant see them play a full strength jazz squad

Bench play is the difference at the moment. De Leon has been junk

Jazz doing their best perth impression shooting tonight, rubio returned to the norm, no step backs falling tonight!

Down 12. Missed ft and some turnovers really hurt.

Down by 12 at halftime but feels closer than that. Adelaide's depth is going to be exposed this year.

Who are going pretty well it seems.

Grayson Allen looks a good pick up. I will watch his game with interest once the real stuff starts.

Drmic was kind to provide any family/friends who went to watch him some free chick-fil-a sandwiches.

Shame the way it's ended. Bench is going to be a big big problem for Adelaide this year.

All in all a pretty good effort that followed the script of a lot of these games by blowing out after the half. Sobey will have put his name on a few lists to watch one would think.

This Sixers team is going to be right there again at the pointy end I suspect, 8 point game at 3QT.

Putting up 99 points on a great defensive team like the Jazz is a great achievement and at least we didn't disgrace ourselves like Perth.

Would've loved to see how this 36ers team would go against a non-playoff team from the NBA!

Embarrassing 4th qtr by Adelaide. NBL's reputation saved by Perth today.

The extra 8 minutes hurts. Last year United was helped in this way by recruiting several ring-ins.

Adelaide's performance today was very respectable, until they clearly ran out of energy during the 4th.

Jazz are hardly the same defensive team without Gobert, but let's not let facts get in the way of a perth dig

36ers far from embarrassing today from the portions I saw. About a gazillion times better than Perth went against the same opponent.

The Jazz are a much better defensive team without Gobert. That said, he only played 15 minutes against Perth.

Nuggets were only like the 3rd team in nba history to miss the playoffs with their record last year, they are highly fancied as making it this year.

Forget Perth's rubbish game against Denver, everyone knows Adelaide are the form team and outright NBL championship favourite haha.

Enjoyed watching this game. Well done to the 36ers lads.

Adelaide lost their legs in the last quarter and considering their only used to 40 minute games it is understandable. But it was a very competitive game for the majority of it and I certainly don't have any shame about how they played, just sucked that they had to reach so deep into the bench at the end and have Frolling kind of flounder his way around out there.

I really miss the 48 minute games actually. Have never felt right watching 40 minutes.

I've always supported a return to 48 minutes but after these games I’m not so sure. The game did seem to extend out a long time, and in the NBL that time will just go to benchies.

Because he is part of the squad. Works as hard as anyone. The lad got spirit endeavour wants to get recognition. Still only a kid. Plenty up side. Has that x factor.

Who cares who is travelling as 12th man. Only someone with an axe to grind.

Of all the games, the NBL put up a pretty good showing given how much bigger stronger and longer NBA teams are. I have watched both leagues for years, but until you see them face each other the special physical attributes needed to make an NBA squad are not so obvious.

Sobey looked comfortable on an NBA court that first half. He did nothing wrong with his stocks, but might have just missed his opportunities along the way. The biggest difference is the absolutely mammoth drop off between the 10th best player on an NBA squad and the tenth best and the sixth best on an NBL squad.

" though the biggest difference was the 8 whole extra minutes they expected professional basketballers to have to play without getting tired."

I sense sarcasm here but 8 minutes is not 8 minutes, it equates to half an hour if you hadn't noticed.

"Lots of people, particularly young ballers with genuine potential in this state, care about that DP spot.
I personally have no axe to grind so you are way off there, don't know the kid or have a horse in that race. Just amazed he continues to get these opportunities with his skill set and game. Makes no sense to an educated outsider."

Same. I have nothing against the kid, but he has been a development player since forever and has never shown even an inkling of ever becoming a rotation player. Might be time to cut the thread and pick up a kid with a future in the game.

Gotta say the Advertiser's coverage over the past couple of days (all week in fact) has been excellent, with a reporter over there covering the game. Their feature on Joe Ingles and the one today about the lead-up to the game were brilliant.
