You could always come out before hand and say playing the Adelaide 36ers would be like playing a ‘dream final’ No one ever gets smashed after proclaiming that a game to be there ‘dream final’
Implement the Chad Cornes theory of avoiding embarrassing losses

South Dragons co-owner and chairman Mark Cowan has fought back tears after admitting his club is on the verge of extinction just ten weeks after celebrating its first NBL title.
Cowan re-affirmed on Friday that South would not be seeking to join the new elite men's basketball competition this season and maintained the league needed further reform to become viable.

I was down in Sale last night and Rhys Carter of all people was working behind the bar we were at! He has had offers from Adelaide and one other team but he is looking at going over to Sweden. I think a lot of those mid-range players will be doing the same next season.
Melbourne Victory linked as a second team in Melbourne. I must say, after just coming back from Barcelona and seeing BarcelonaFC has its own Basketball, Handball, Fusball team etc, it works amazing over there why cant Melbourne Victory branch out into other sports?

Some Victory fans thoughts.
God, I read some of them saying "yay we can throw coins now" or "Euro style chants at Basketball cool" and Im having seconds thoughts, those 2 activites are not Basketball in Australia.
Chanting I can handle, but the stigma football has in this country with flares etc that still exists no matter how well the A-League is doing, I dont want to see dragged into the NBL.

hahaha throwing coins? it happens more in bball (euro) than in the a-league doesnt it?
im not sure chanting will take off in bball.
what is "basketball in australia"? is it a laughable comp whereby the league falls over played in front of 2 men and his dog?

**** i hate Seamus McCheat.
NBL in Australia is lost on me forever if the Tigers is the only Melbourne team in the comp. Have grown up hating them with a passion and what they've done in the last week has only further emphasised this. They are just a **** of an organisation.

throwing coins is a euro thing in basketball yes, its not an australian thing. theyre just importing a european mentality is what im saying.
basketball in australia is a family-friendly atmosphere where you should be able to take your kids along and not expect to see coins thrown or flares, it always has been and it should remain that way.

i agree, dont wanna see throwing of coins etc here.
whilst we're at it can we ban those who attend from saying "dee-fence" (american way)
yes, but only if they dont bring a giant cardboard cut out of a D and a fence, ala mid-90's NYKnicks fans.
Coins are only good if their heated with lighters, and the odd mobile phone or car stereo flying through the air would be welcome too!!

Well we've released Rillie and Egan. Be interesting to see how the rosters shape up.
how about a merger between them and the association which brought us baseball in this country to make a new sport
we can call the new sport: BASEketball

Sounds good to me.

Remember that book from the early 90's about the NBL called 'Boom'? By the mid late 90's there was supposed to be 50 game seasons and NBA-sized arenas!!!
