Man Melbourne can’t miss.

Yikes

Trezz confirmed for the rest of the year.

Huge for Adelaide to have this calibre of player for the whole season.
Feel bad for starling but he wasn’t quite at the level at this point.

Quite the upgrade - trading in a NBL1 player for a NBA player

What happens when Martin comes back in though? Humphries/Trez/Martin all 7 footers all can't shoot, will there be enough minutes for all of them?

Massive for the league Trez has opted to stay but team gets a bit clogged

Martin and humphries are almost 7 foot. Trezz is “only” 6 foot 7.

Trezz is still building fitness and I can’t see Martin being any fitter, so it would work well to get those two rotating.

Good chance we see a lot of opposing second units get beat up inside

Assumed trez was taller, plays bigger and can't shoot still but yeah if he's against a bench unit he will dominate that time.

he plays big. aggressive, explosive. then you get 7 footers who finesse the ball.

burge13 In Martin's last NBL game, the championship winning game in 2022, he hit 4 threes. He can shoot and space the floor

Don't forget they originally recruited him to play 4 alongside Humphries

Here's a recent Euroleague game where he's playing 4 and splashing threes

 

[Gak Attack]

JJs really ****ed up their roster. Sure Mcveigh and Mac weren't planned to be out but there's some dead average players getting minutes. May as well replace Sword now. Need another import that can get a bucket. Doesn't help Doyle is in the slump of all slumps.

 

[ManOfClay]

Yeah the best way to describe jj’s right now is that some players simply appear to be just there. Not any standout, just simply on the court not creating much

 

[amazingjoshy]

Bryce suspected broken rib

Hmmm

 

[burge13]

The NBL really overdoes the DJ/music constantly playing at times. Entire songs from start to finish never necessary

I'll accept it when it is Slice of Heaven during a NZ home game but outside of that I 100% agree. It was already bad and somehow seems even worse this season around the league.

Heartless "effort" by the Wildcats today. Very disappointing.

Thought the opposite tbh

Effort was there, lost Bryce early, Mooney and Darling shot out of their skins and Windler couldn't buy a 3

Obvious but in big trouble if Bryce is out for an extended period

 

[Luuuc]

The way I saw it, Mooney and Darling shot out of their skins because we showed no inclination to play proper defence. Too many of their shots were uncontested looks.
We showed a bit of grit in the 2nd quarter to pull the margin back for half time, and that was about it I thought. Hard to pull back an opponent's lead when you phone it in on every 2nd defensive possession.

 

[ManOfClay]

Rob Edwards - fantastic pipes on the man. 10/10 rig.

6/10 player tonight

This. As a United fan I more enjoy go to throwdowns when it's a Phoenix home game cause we can sit in a big group and cheer and chant. No opportunity for that at our home games.

Really interested to see how the mix goes for Adelaide with Jarell playing today.

Can ease him in now Trez is staying. 10 mins, then 14, then 16 etc. Doesnt need to rush anything

Liking our team with DJ too, he's quality. Just going to be hard to get everyone their usage which I guess is a nice problem to have

 

[ManOfClay]

It’s good to see AFL club pages on Facebook don’t have a monopoly on biased nuffies.

Fans are actually blasting the 36ers for cutting starling instead of one of the younger players
The dude is 35 and plays about six minutes a game, has shot 1/10 total this year and does nothing else. Can supposedly defend, but we aren’t bringing him on to shut anyone of note down because he’s simply out of his league.

Great professional though - has done a lot for the sport in SA. I think this is why people are biased to him

6th man. Dont get why a 6th man is seen as always needing to be a guard

Rillie needs to go. Just a muppet. Bryce going down and Pepper getting 9 minutes is completely absurd. Too many uncontested 3s because he believes/knows we cant rebound for shit. Windley has not only looked shithouse but has shown to be a terrible addition balance wise. Everyone under the sun can see a C was needed. Second Harrell was showing interest in the NBL Wildcats should have thrown the kitchen sink at him

Never rated Starling tbh. Much smarter NBL guys than me around but he never passed the eye test to me
