Another live game in Adelaide today.
I think it will be a bit closer today.
I can't see Sobey shooting so poorly today.
Humphries looked very frustrated on Friday, I expect him to bounce back big time.
Will Giddey play even better than his impressive debut?
Should be a great game. Looking forward to it.
same squads as friday or is there more players trailing
The NBL1 players from last night won't be allowed to play. No second look to see if Hulland is a real NBL level player or just hit some shots.
"Is this on youtube"
Yes

50-31 at half time. Brisbane can't hit shit, but still pretty good signs on the defensive end in the first game and a half.
Brisbane clearly severely undermanned, so not a lot to take from it.

How frustrating will Humphries finishing around the basket be this year.
Might be an idea if the bench knew when to stop the game clock!

Not as frustrating as it was having Froling instead.

Pinder is going to get into foul trouble every game!
Geez Froling, he showed nada both games.
Giddey impressive again.
McVeigh another to watch.
Got a feeling DJ will carry a big load upfront as Humphries doesn't look that impressive

Remember that Humphries is the highest paid local in the league.
He has to be good

Humphries had 12 rebounds and 3 blocks in 20 minutes. That is impressive. It is also only the 2nd game of pre-season....

Yeah, thank god Froling moved on. He was awful in both games. Showed no sign he has learned anything since his rookie season. Humphries is a clear upgrade, even if he does blow a few layups!
Pinder is still picking up too many cheap fouls, but he was much more the player I was hoping for in today's game.
McVeigh doing a solid job as a small ball 4 in this game. He might need to do that a few times this season as I can see Humphries and Pinder getting in foul trouble quite often.
Humphries will have a few massive games mixed in with mediocre crap, consistency will be the problem.
How do people know that Humphries is the highest paid local.
Truth or just conjecture.

Maybe the 2nd import should be a 3/4 type. I think Henry said a Torrey Craig type. Someone that could start at 3 and slide to 4 when needed.

"That kind of leaves 36ers one big short"
Lol you could say the same thing most years for the Sixers. It's nearly always DJ plus 2-3 project bigs who can’t stay on the floor because of all their dumb fouls!
Need to hang on to someone and develop them.

Odd thing was the commentary on both games was actually enjoyable. Was thinking the NBL would have sent the regulars in but this was a nice change.

No Homicide or Heal does wonders for the broadcast.

Yeah with Hodgson and Griffin being so foul trouble at their times in Adelaide and DJ not showing defensive muster we have been troubled defensively
