Rucker with his first idiot comment for the season about the Jj’s.

“Not quite championship level”
Didn’t we just win?

We’ve got the majority of our core back. Continuity is a thing.

Id take "not quite championship level" over "wtf are the 36ers doing now"

I mean. Yeah
I’m not going to make fun of Adelaide. I think it’s BS whatever is going on there. Such a storied franchise of the league

Sobey will go from 2nd most free throws in the NBL to the least this year, going to be a long year for the Phoenix…

Am I alone in thinking Trez will have minimal impact in NBL? Not sure his game translates that well.

I feel like he's going to go well if he comes with the energy I expect of a guy who is trying to prove his way back into the NBA.

Depends how his body is.

Even pre- injury his NBA impact was nowhere near 5 years ago. I don't think he'll star. Should be a solid contributor.

another issue is Humphries does his best work around the hoop, so how well will they fit together?

Looks like he’s been stung by a swarm of bees.

Unlucky for the 2 heads to get United at their fortress, 9 wins from last 10 games in Perth.

We beat the floppos when it matters.

Thought we'd get pumped actually given the quick turnaround from Singapore games and no Mac and Sword. Massive lack of scoring options without Mac and Mcveigh going to hurt.

Krslovic must have something going on with Roth. Not replacing him and giving him 20 mins in a game is criminal. Would have to be the worst player in the league, seen 45 year old bigs in social moving better.

 

[Royces Hart]

seen 45 year old bigs in social moving better.

Thanks for appreciating my play

 

[PJays]

Krslovic played a valuable role for the JJs in 2022, (and to a lesser extent the last 2 years) but this year the standard of big-man play should be very high

There are a bunch of bigs who have been in the NBL for years and now reaching their primes – Humphries, Froling, Pinder, Harrison, Hunter (and of course Krslovic’s teammate Magnay) plus there’s good imports like Martin, Lee. Gillespie and Groves look alright but time will tell. Montrezl Harell just came in. Almansa the next star. Olbrich was great at the Blitz. Loe in fine form at 33. Some quality 4 men might see time at the 5- Cooks, White (last night played a couple of minutes small-ball).

So compared to that group, how does Krslovic go this season? Not sure but I wonder whether Roth is planning on using Gak.

Either way, Magnay crucial for them.

19-3 after 3 mins 36ers down 1st quarter. 36ers find themselves In front 28-27 at the end on the 1st. Great game so far.

 

[PJays]

36ers fans must be happy with that game. Harrell is everything they wanted and more. Mayen looks ready for a huge season.

Big weekend coming up. Melbourne Derby with SEM looking to avoid an 0-2 start.

Sydney in Perth on Friday then fly home to take on Illawarra. 3 teams who look very strong.

Pushed Sydney most of the way. some promising signs there for the season. Love Trez.

BNZ Breakers sign former NBA centre Tacko Fall for US tour

It's only for the Breakers US tour, but still an interesting signing and says a lot about how the NBL is viewed as a pathway to the NBA.

Get Davis the **** out of Adelaide now !!!

Get Davis the **** out of Adelaide now !!!

Take Wells and the entire front office with him.

0-2 after blowing the club up in the off season.

 

[pacemaker]

Tassie down 20+ during the game now only down by 4 with 4 to go

 

[eddiesmith]

It’s amazing how bad Perth are without Cotton.
