Cotton going large, no one can stop him on the Bullets.

Perth win by 15.

Nil all draw. WA premier about to do a press conference.

Is there any chance this game will get cancelled or played with no crowds tonight?

3-day lockdown - starting at midnight

But need to wear masks from 6PM tonight.

Spectators officially allowed tonight (with masks)
:)

Yeah, idiotic.

Will Brisbane players be allowed to return from that covid hell hole?

Good question. Do both teams need to leave before midnight or will they have some sort of exemption?

And you guys voted for him!
lol

I don't think a case in Melbourne is necessary to lock down Perth until you see another case in Perth.

Luucc, A community case in Hotel quarantine is different to a case in the public.

I can't make it to the game tonight as I'm busy hastily arranging my drive down south to avoid the arbitrarily-set midnight lockdown of the Greater Perth region.

Go Wildcats!

/s

I can't make it to the game tonight because I'm not a moron.

How ridiculous, that it is so critical that they have to lockdown the state for 3 days but hey leading into that you can have 15,000 spectators in an indoor venue. Just does not seem logical

I understand why they need to delay it: people are out, won't be aware of lockdown until news reaches them, may need to do a few things to prepare. But there's no way the rugby and NBL games should be going ahead with fans, that's laughable.

Perthworld that says a lot about you that you'd still vote for the WA Libs haha

Perthworld you were the one?

I'm a front line worker who's fully vaccinated against covid...still not going. This seems really dumb to be playing in front of a crowd.

The delay in lockdown is so people can be made aware of it and get things organised for the coming days. It's not to squeeze in a few more pints or watch the game. Stay home red army, think of your elderly family and friends.

What the fuck are you talking about?

What security guard? Is this January?

It's called the Mercure.

No, he is a returned traveller who stayed at the mecure, finished 14 days of quarantine and returned home to Melbourne where he tested positive. He was infected by someone in an adjoining room.

Arena is almost as barren as Brisbane's boxscore

Steindl has an extra spring in his step tonight that 4k payment must have come through

Gold. I'm still surprised they published the player's names.

Why did I put froling for 4 rebounds in my multi. A bloody traffic cone would be more active on the boards than this potato. Lift your effort!

Three minutes in and Froling is gasping for air.

Three minutes into the second quarter*

Why did I put froling for 4 rebounds in my multi. A bloody traffic cone would be more active on the boards than this potato. Lift your effort!

Even watching on TV you can easily spot people in the crowd without a mask on.

Can we actually talk about the fucking game.

Mooney and Cotton up there with best ever import combos.

I'm old enough to remember the original ones. They were discontinued for a reason.

Mooney and Cotton up there with best ever import combos.

Froling looks too downhill skier to become anything. Hovers around the 3 point line while guards go for boards and hoping for a kick out. 6'11 and 120kg and scared of the paint

Patersons a bull. He should post up more often no one can stop him getting to the basket

Froling should be dominating the boards. He just got out rebounded by Norton ffs

Btown the entire bullets team seem to be down hill skiers

Cotton's 3 point shooting is an uphill skier

Hey Bol, I've googled for ages and I’m failing... what’s the $4000 thing with Steindl??

Oh, never mind.

Wow that article is cringey to read

Looking a little chokey in there....

Oh shit. 16-0 run to Brisbane.

I can't make it to the game tonight because I’m running my Uni Faculty. Man, I’m so intellectually gifted.

After taking care of all the Kobe Bryant haters, I'll now take on all of the Uni lecturer haters.

Phew, 9-0 run to Perth. What a swingy game.

If Melbourne got lockdown for a month both the NBL and AFL would move the whole season there.

Onya Cats. Quality response to the challenge.

Stays on 3 rebounds, you spud.

Hodgson and Froling combine for 45minutes and wrangle 6rebounds between them. This team is something else. 2 tallest players on the court
