Is this game on the FIBA youtube channel live? Doesn't show as upcoming in the list of live games from what I can see.

I couldn't find the JJs first game, any clues on this one ? ::::)))

ESPN and Kayo. Last nights replay on Kayo.

Yeah I had thought the games could be watched on Fiba YT but I think that's only for countries where they’re not being shown on TV. I watched last nights on ESPN and plan to do the same this afternoon. ESPN or Kayo your options

Watched last night's game on https://www.youtube.com/fiba with a VPN, it's the same deal as NBL where countries that have broadcast deals get blocked from accessing the youtube streams, but appearing that you're somewhere else will make them appear.

If you don't have a VPN (and don't want to pay for one) the Opera web browser has one built in, should by default but might need to poke in settings.

Here's the direct link to this afternoon's game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9LZwPvEMTU

Thanks ^^^

JJ's can't make a shot

ESPN broadcast dies halfway through the the second quarter, excellent

WTF is happening on Kayo, has been 10 minutes of adds in middle of the game :(

Yes Peter same as ESPN, broken. Incredibly annoying

It's been back on ESPN, not sure if Kayo is working again

United lead 44 to Tas 35 at half time. JJs need to stop turning the ball over and hit shots. Some serious talent playing for United.

Yeah, that's why I'm done with Kayo, paying a premium for a service held together by rubber bands and paper clips, over it. Youtube always works and you don't have to watch ads on a service you're paying for. The NBL gets value from me with merch/tickets/membership anyway

Energised defensive showing from G-League, I still feel like the JJs can hit their stride in this one. Drimic having a shocker

India VPN working

JJs showing characteristic fight. Down by just 4 at 3/4 time.

1 point game with 6.23 on clock.

69 68 JJs with 3.26 left.

this is so fkn enjoyable

Thank you India.

These reviews are ridiculously long.

Disappointing loss considering JJs were favourites.

JJ are not the best team in the NBL this season. Could see Sydney steam rolling this team

Just topped up my JJs bets.

In Roth we trust.

United 76 74. JJs gave up a 3 point foul and then another foul at the death. JJs had 1.8s to make a play advancing the ball at the end but no good. Looked the winner for a long way in the 4th.

Cracking game, first good one of the whole cup. JJs await the winner of Asian team vs African team whom they will play for 3rd overall tomorrow at 6pm.

Early days to be writing the JJs off, I did think the Terangi signing was strange though, also will the hunger be as great now they are champions.

Yes very early to be getting too excited either way but that was one hell of a hit out to get primed for NBL 2025. Doyle, Crawford and Magnay were playing at championship level. Doyle maybe better. Left the impression they have not lost much if anything. Good luck any team beating them in front of their raucous home crowd in a game like that.

With winning the cup now out of reach it would not shock me to see Magnay, Doyle and Crawford play limited minutes tomorrow, give Nunn, Brown and Gak some run instead.

Classic JJ's game, just grinded it out. Absolutely smashed a bigger and more athletic team on the boards as well.

I worry about the offence with no McVeigh. Crawford/Doyle were great today but Drmic and Te Rangi couldn't make a shot.

Only watched first half but it confirmed my thoughts on the JJs

Great that Magnay hit a 3, if he can add that to his game then watch out

But basically, it was only a few threes from Doyle and Crawford that kept them in the game. Offensively, without McVeigh they're struggling for firepower and its hard to see them getting to 90 points a night very often. Deng is the X Factor - he did well in the GF, and at his best he could pick up some of the slack. But can he do it consistently? Thats the question

Totally off thread, but imagine if Roth was coach of the Boomers with the talent he would have at his disposal. Or if today's game was on a level playing field and it was an all NBL team playing the all G league tam with Roth in charge.

LV, MacDonald didn't play and there is some scoring punch to exploit there. Steindel has also been looking much more like years gone by but will that last. JJs were much better in the 2nd half and Sword provided a real spark in the last quarter before a heavy head recoil hitting the floor and going off. Roth is recalibrating without McVeigh and maybe they don’t have to score as heavily if defence is back at 2022 level. Missed some easy put backs etc today and US commentators said with the easy shots they missed they should have been well in front when it mattered.

JJs will be playing the Asian club from Lebanon for tomorrows 3rd place match

That's my point, they were the 4th or 5th best team in 2022 and that's where I think they'll end up again in 2025.

Ah yes, Josh Adam's in 2022 and that dagger 3 at John Cain Arena. Would also not surprise me if they finish as low as 4 or 5 but they are built to play finals and maybe they make a deep run to the play offs or championship series from there again. Maybe they don’t. The only certainty is that they are very hard to predict. Lots of other teams look really good this year. It really is a case of perhaps the Kings and then who knows. Lots to look forward too.

Absolutely, looking forward to see what scoring punch Macdonald will have this year, last year was steady improvement, he's still young and he has the potential fill some of McVeigh's loss with a lot more minutes.

The consistency of Doyle and Crawford seems like it'll keep rolling on, Crawford really just had that one prolonged period of not clicking in the system fully last year and has been strong ever since, seemed like he needed to have that time of proving the doubters wrong and testing the faith of the fans.

Doyle's poorest patch came in the immediate aftermath of the death of his father, and has been far better since that time. I think those periods of inconsistency get weighted a bit heavily when we evaluate just how rock solid these guys have been overall. They fully embody the next man up mentality now.

Sword looks to have great explosiveness and physicality, probably just needs more time to get in rhythm with the JJ's system. Seems like he could have been given a bit more trust and leeway from Roth in terms of court time but who knows how things are operating internally. We know Roth doesn't stand for mediocrity in any form.

Deng, as in last year, has the potential to be an underrated gem. Had the best +/- in this game, seems like part of it is he's not a ball hog and plays don't usually get run for him so his impact might not be felt as much, but he's always solid.

This was a tough beat, just that wet patch Doyle slipped on not being there in the dying minutes could have been enough. Competition for the 6 is going to be a dogfight, the future feels bright for NBL
