My NBL tv doesn't show the first qtr. - Starts at qtr. time.
I will watch this when my nbl tv starts at qtr. time at 9.30,
although, that's nearly time for my tablet.

What happens when you live half an hour behind the important states?

Not a thing, soz

:)

LK propping up the league

According to reports Magnay is playing restricted mins.

yeah sorry..... computer froze when I was trying to upload so lost in Cyberspace

It'll have to wait for the GF. Pussycats v Soy Boys at the home of the floppycats, where home baking rivals Masterchef....

Can both teams lose and we hand Jack Toft the win?

Mooney steals it on the defensive end and lays it up on the other like a guard. ♡

Barlow is automatic from the perimeter such a quick release

Are these refs seeing the same game we are seeing

Where is cory shervill? Gotta be more reliable than Steindl right now.

Perth getting slaughtered from 3 point range.

Give up 15 3's & expect to win you’re kidding yourselves. Poor defense on the outside cost Perth the game.

Vaughan Melbourne's best player, perth had no answer for his incompetence.

United got hot early from 3 and shot a good % overall. Their defence was good also. Stats are pretty even throughout and it looks like the cats got beat by good 3 point shooting.
I feel that Cats settled for 3's too often when dribble penetration was working for them. I like seeing BC work off the ball to get his shots more often. Vinnie had a shocker too. Clint needs to get to Bendat Basketball Centre and shoot 1000 3 pointers until his stroke comes back.
Good to see Travers play well in the last 5 mins. Lets hope he continues to improve and we can see more of it.

Pretty comfortable victory for United. Perth couldn't hit their shots and everything united put up went in. So many weapons!!

Cotton got himself a lot of good looks but hes not hitting them consistently at the moment. Could have been a different result if a few of them went in. Credit to MU though their defense was solid made him work hard for everything.

Yup, they shot the lights out and beat us, but Vaughan had the worst game I have seen from a ref in a long time.

Yep i wonder how many calls are made based on reputation rather than what they see

Haha, love it when people just look at a box score and say it was reffed well. Look at the charge call on Wagstaff on the baseline when macaron came from the free throw line, the Goulding ghost foul on the 3, the missed double dribble and the crazy amount of missed over the back fouls.

Just like anons who can come on here and talk shit, I can say my piece as well.just my opinion but feel free to go back to your life if you don't want to read

Did I hear correct that the Cats have 5 games in 11 days?
That's some.....interesting scheduling there.

I'm happy to hear the examples you have. I'm taking a regular season loss pretty well actually and looking forward to a 5 game series against them, thanks for checking in. I just like having a vent with fellow basketball fans.

United shot extremely well which isn't the norm. Nothing to really worry about as it's just another non-playoff game in an extremely long regular season.

Great shooting by United.

Always good to win in Perth, although disappointing how easily Mooney was getting looks at times. Made Landale look like a traffic cone on a couple of occasions.

I think United is now 11-1 while missing one or none, with the average winning margin in double figures.

With Magnay finding his feet and SEM hopefully finally having most of their team on the floor, these playoffs should be great.

When the united machine is humming like last night and everyone plays their role they look like they barely need to break a sweat. They have so many guys that can score that if one or two are having a bad night others can step up. Perth didn't play their best but effort wise they threw everything at them and united kept them at bay with quality shooting and solid defense. Whats most impressive is on a few occasions perth gained some momentum and got the game on their terms but united kept their composure and still kept knocking down their shots. It should be a classic GF series if these two teams meet. I dont think it would bother perth too much not having HCA. United would have been disadvantaged more if perth had HCA. Game on

Perth will take some comfort that they still scored 91 points.
Lock down those open 3s and it will go the other way, just like a week ago.
Can we just fast forward to the GF series between these two? Should be a cracker.

I don't think Melbourne's D is being talked up enough, they were superb last night.

Also, Steindel looks cooked as an NBL player. If not hitting his shot, he doesn't contribute much and at the moment he couldn't hit a cow in the ar$e with a handful of gravel.

Yeah steindl is pretty much useless this season i have more confidence in K White taking the shot. Corey shervill played some good minutes in the first half of the year but trev seems to have lost the faith in him.

Perhaps hes giving Steindl as much chance as possible to rediscover his shot by the playoffs. He is an x factor for them and if he can start hitting the 3 again it makes them so much more dangerous offensively.

I think you see lots of tall bball players with a little bit of a chip on their shoulder, a little bit of attitude problem, a tad tone deaf. A bit opinionated.

Maybe this comes from being "different" to everyone else, freakishly tall and always off hooping

I don't think it's a surprise that the two biggest Aus ballers currently controversial or known for making ill advised comments are Bogut and Cambage.

Anstey was like this to an extent also.

Nice people all of them, they're just individuals who I reckon psychological analysis would probably explain their personality traits

I mean on one hand most professional ballers are extremely tall, but when you get to that freaky tall level, it's another league

Landale seems to be taking up the Bogut mantle of being a bit if a dick. He seemed much more humble during the world champs.

Landale really screwed up with his prediction that United would go undefeated this season. Aside from being no possibility of happening it was a backhanded shot at the quality of the players in the NBL and extremely arrogant to say when he had never played a game in the league at that point.

He's in his mid-20's so he can't really blame it on being young and silly and he always plays with a pissed off scowl on his face like he thinks he's all that so it's difficult to like the guy.

You are misunderstanding my point if you think I'm suggesting "being tall= being a dick", have a re read

I didn't say anything about arrogance, I suggested they're more likely to have a chip on their shoulder, be a bit opinionated of a bit tone deaf than your average 6'5 shooting guard.

Extreme height combined with forced social exclusion due to sport may be one factor that lends itself towards social development that would make those traits more likely.

Landale's prediction made him look like an idiot. Especially considering this guy had never played in the NBL before. Imagine an import coming I. Saying the same thing?? He would be crusified. Come finals time Cotton be cooking... I hope! United the only team I’m not sure about beating as a Wildcats fan but I’m pretty sure MU fans thinking the same thing about the wildcats. Magnay needs to have impact and Bryce needs to find his stroke. If that happens MU will find it hard to win. They did play well though…

Yeah not a good look either Landale with the cameras on you. Wouldn't want my kid to be a Landale fan. I’m really not sure he is going to get much of a shot in the NBA. He Shiite the ball well enough but his defence is a little more suspect than I had envisioned. Mobile centres seem to get past him fairly easily so might get found out at the next level. Good luck to him but portrayed himself badly during the game:

What's with people getting so riled up about Landale?

Because he said some exaggerated self confidence nonsense - the type of stuff Corey Williams would say on the daily?

Or when every team enter into the season believing they can go the whole way even if it’s unrealistic?

The only reason it’s talked about is because the goons we call Perth Wildcats fans get precious about everything from Landale, LK to refs, that they need to be protected with bubble wrap!

Easily the most offended fan base in the NBL
