2023-24 NBL Season + Off-season news

[Eagles2014]

Agreed and despite Cotton's poor start to the season he's probably the front runner for MVP. It's amazing that he's still playing at such a high level after eight years in the league.

Bryce Cotton

First 10 games: 16.5 ppg @ 36% FG (27.1% 3p)

Last 11 games: 25.8 ppg @ 43.2% FG (37.3% 3p)

On the 36ers I don't feel very confident about today's game in the Gong, with the way the Hawks have been playing under Tatum's dad I think a beatdown could be on the cards. I really hope not but that Perth game looked like some of our guys are starting to put the cue in the rack.

Early doors but your fears look spot on, ordinary start. Down 19-12 at quarter time, their lowest scoring opening quarter of the season. Just can’t get anything going

Back in it now the 6ers

[Eagles2014]

36ers lead Hawks 41-40 at half time. Scrappy game, obvious why both teams near the bottom. Isaac Humphries dominated with 20 points.

Hawks blew them away

Who is going to win the NBL premiership this season ?
It appears looking at the ladder that every team, excepting Adelaide 36s can make the play offs ?

I'm tipping a Melbourne United Premiership
By having such a good away record this season thus far, should be Minor Premier

[DOC]

Melbourne for mine playing Perth in the final.

Melbourne for mine playing Perth in the final.

My thoughts exactly

[Gozu]

Certainly does look like a Melbourne vs Perth GF series but I wouldn't be surprised if Perth got them.

I had Tassie finishing Top 2 this season but they appear to be going off the boil.

TAB ODDS Premiership

2-15 MU
5-00 SK
6-00 PW
7-00 NZ
9-00 TJ
All Others $17 or greater

Interesting
SK 2nd favs, and no one has picked them to even make the Grand Final

Tassie dropped a few games they should have won.
Still have time to regroup. I have them my 3rd pick.

Are Sydney just making up numbers?

Are Sydney just making up numbers?

I think they are. Talk a number of the players aren't happy with the new coach as rumours start to circulate of Brian Goorjian's return to Sydney next season.

[Gozu]

The Tasmania JackJumpers have signed Kiwi big Tom Vodanovich for the rest of the season as a replacement for Junior Madut who has been released. Vodanovich played for the NZ Breakers last season and has been playing in the Philippines this season.

Big upset, 36ers beat Melbourne 100-95

Big upset, 36ers beat Melbourne 100-93

Need to get the 98/99 boys out more often.

Big upset, 36ers beat Melbourne 100-93

Great game.
I want us to keep winning but I don’t want Ninnis as coach next season

[mal]

Bottom beat top, well done 36s
MU were $1-20
A36 were a massive $5-00

Great to see Milton Doyle[TJ] back in very good basket shooting form

[Gozu]

Final scoreline ended up being 100-96 and a new all-time record Adelaide crowd of 9,564 too.
