Melbourne UTD play NZ Breakers tomorrow at 7:30pm NZ time live on Sky Sport 2 according to the Breakers Instagram page. Does anyone know where we can watch it here?
Here being Australia?
All the NBL Blitz games are on Kayo Freebies, you'll need to register for a free account though.

There's no Kayo app for Fire TV for some reason. Can still access it via the Web browser but it's a bit of a pain.

I'm going to miss NBL on Twitch, it was so easy no account needed and could watch replays easily too.

I honestly didn't even understand half the terminology they used.

No Wetzell tonight for NZ, minor calf strain and the team physio is being cautious.
Expect to see Timmons play backup to Loe.

NZ starting 5
Siva
Besson
Abercrombie
Delaney
Loe
Exited to watch some NBL
Sam Timmins likely to continue the trend of DPs who can play minutes. Breakers look stacked. Webster's out and Martin, Siva in is a massive upgrade.

Besson looks pretty good so far, putting in some defensive effort and clearly talented offensively.
Galloway looking confident.
JLA causing NZ some issues early but Timmons came on stemmed the tide somewhat.

Besson is looking like a young stud on both ends of the floor in the first half! Dieng not hitting his shots, but it's okay, it's just preseason.
No idea why they picked up Dalton with so many local bigs available at the time.
Galloway can't defend my grandma. Timmons looks much better. Dieng never seen a shot he doesn’t like. NZ have to improve their D or going nowhere.
Melbourne not as deep as last season, solid 7/8 though. Not certain how dalton gets a contract.

Can anyone watch the game on NBL's Youtube? I don't see any live streams. I've registered for a Kayo account in the past hence cannot, watch via the freebies.
As an aside, no I'm not going to signup to Kayo with all the subscriptions I have. IMO, last year's NBL viewing ability (Twitch etc.) was best for casual NBL fans (I'm invested in NBA). I'm all for the league getting bigger and better TV deals, but let's see it filter to the player's and teams. If I can see the money is going to them, I'm all for supporting and considering yet another subscription service.
I get "video unavailable" on the NBL YouTube page. The streaming playlist for the Blitz has no games/streams.
JLA is first pick for my fantasy team. 36 points and 10 boards.
Siva was terrible. If he keeps that up he will be the first import sent home
I Expect Dalton n Prewster to be cut for an import
WMW looked much better, Siva was a gun a season or two ago, hopefully he can find that form, been injured a lot recently. Unless Shamir gets ruthless and only play guys that put in, they ain't playing finals.

You can access the NBL games through YouTube via VPN. Australia is the only country blocked from the region checker. So, any VPN location would suffice. If you don't want to pay, just look up any free VPN service online. Proton and the VeePN extension work well and have no data limit.

Kayo Freebies is free, hence the name, so there is no reason to do that in Australia.

@Perthworld
He said that he couldn't access the Kayo Freebies. I just gave him a hand.
Thanks Stevy, all set thanks to vpn.
That's right, turns out it needs to be a *new* Kayo account to access Freebies. You get stuck into a signup loop to upgrade with an existing account.
@Perthworld but what does free mean? Not familiar with the terminology?

Are you sure? I had an old account that I logged into and activating Freebies on it worked.

All I did was log in and start watching, same account I used for WNBL last year. Didn't have to activate anything. It's not a trial, it's literally a free tier. There's no reason it would be unavailable.

Delly with 7 turnovers & Agada with 2 points.
Both teams fairly rusty but also some positives.
JLA looks good to go as is Delaney.

JLA (certainly) looks good to go. However, he did have a considerable size and skill advantage.
Makes MU v Phoenix tantalizing with JLA/Zhou Qi and Peatling/Pineau match ups. Goulding/Creek also. Their 1st 'Derby' is Sunday, 28 November (I think) so both teams will have some games under their belt by then, specially Qi & Pineau for Phoenix.

Know it's early but based on his first game, Agada may be one of the first imports cut. He had an awful game. Lacked aggression offensively and didn’t really show much defensively despite being known for that.

First time I've seen Sam Timmins play and he surprised how much he contributed for the Breakers. If he increases his stamina, he'll have a good NBL career. Massive frame, very similar to a young Mark Bradtke

Tried to get inthrough Kayo Freebies.Would not aloow or show anything.
NBL Youtube says you have to subscribe because again t does not allow access otherwise.
Its all a joke.
I'm surprised too how long it’s taken an NBL club to give Timmins a go. He was great as a junior and appeared to have lost confidence in the college system. But he’s a big, strong unit and a sneaky athlete: I didn’t think he’d catch that pass from Dieng but he smashed it.
Timmons far better than Galloway, though you would not have realised it if you were only listening to the call and not watching. Galloway could not defend a bar stool.
For everyone saying Kayo works bla bla. It doesn't if you've been an previous (paid) user. Your mobile number is attached to the account for verification, and that's ultimately how they know your not a new user. Can we just admit the NBL broadcast deal is not good for the casual fan? I mean using a VPN to watch on YouTube is pathetic.
