It was flat, static and out of date... they were talking about how they think James Maye will stay at the Blaze, it was in the paper today that he had been cut. He's prob already back in the US.

They need segments and more guests. Awesome idea, rubbish execution

I am just so amazed that a basketball show is on fta prime time. Hopefully the innovations will evolve

it was a lil bland, but it seemed a more serious look at the league, i agree it needs more flash to make it stand out, non hardcore NBL fans wouldnt watch it. A few times they seemed to be talking about the same thing over an over again.

But still i have no real complaints ONE HD have covered the NBL really well, an any show is better than no show

needs to more segments to learn more about players, maybe a street talk sort of thing??

Someone needs to tell carfino to do some background research on his info.

"John wall from north Carolina"

Come on steve are you serious here?! We are know you are a self absorbed individual but that's just plain stupid! The kid went to KENTUCKY!

Why does JVG keep getting his mug on shows like this? He's not exactly a highly respected basketball mind...and they half American accent is just annoying. Get some real basketball personalities on the show. Cal Bruton, Andrew Gaze, Luc Longley, Lanard Copeland. These guys have been around & played in our league & have a knowledge of the NBA as well. Do away with the hot head and the puppet!

John wall's home town is Raleigh North Carolina

He played ball at Kentucky buy is from NC

Aimd at the serious follower (other than the Maye riposte).- rather than entertainment television.

Aimed . - (should read) ..
Aimed at us really ..- rather than educational television..

I only caught about 3-4 minutes of it and then the Ervin interview started and I switched back to RDR (I hate sports interviews). Was it live or recorded a few days back? If live and aimed at 'serious followers', they really need current info or will get beaten to the punch by online news items.

Did they replay a lot of highlights from each game? If they don't do 'get to know x' interviews/features, at least pick a handful of players and focus on their scoring plays for the week's games. Build up awareness of the players in the league even if most of the time it's just re-showing plays to enthusiasts.

Truth, might be that for budget reasons they pick guys in Sydney? Longley is probably still in WA and the other two are probably in Melbourne?

From memory they showed some highlights from some of the games (that OneHD covered.)
Longley doesn't do media anymore (tried to get him on radio for most famous sports interviews)
Carfino os good. Not sure about JVG and Conner.

D'oh! Missed it on OneHD and the repeat later on Ten. But I see it is also repeated on OneHD today at 1:30 and tomorrow at 9:30 before the NBA game.

Great to have a bball show on FTA that talks about NBA & NBL. Needs a little work, but will get better with time. Thnkyou ONE.

A little bit of Bruton (besides Erwin)
NZ to take it out. LA to take it out.
3point line - Nothing that we haven't read/posted on here.

Did anyone else think the akward silence between everone was hilarious when Steve asked Gary Ervin about getting some of the 'young ladies' in Wollongong to stay with him?? haha

i think i got an American accent from watching...

Needed some comedy. Maybe drag in a comedian thats slightly interested in Basketball. What are Hamish and Andy up to.

Or maybe some top ten plays. This might be hard as they only cover 2-3 games. Still whoever said they need some segments is right

We can all be critics but goon on ya 1 and I thought all on there knew their basketball and had opinions .
Yes could break it up more with more fun type stuff but good start.

A little bird tells me it was filmed that afternoon around 1-2pm.

I would also like to see them get into the community a bit, cover some local games and upcoming young players.

Also the show looks very average compared to american shows, they need to ditch the two old guys, get some ex and current players on there, make it exciting and worth watching

Great to see a show about b/ball on FTA. Dissapointing though that paid commentators do not keep up to date if it was filmed that arvo, because the Maye situation was know by then. Some suggestions would be. Get rid of JVG. Who knows who he is or cares what he has to say. It's all just about how he can earn some coin and always has been. Get Bruce Palmer,Bob Turner (he is in Sydney)athough it would probably be good to get an Aussie born player or ex player on there as well. Trying to think of who they could use that would be in Sydney. Sav would be OK. Funny guy. Simon Kerle if they wanted to fly someone in.
Also get a viewer questions type segment, with some topical issues covered.

I saw a similar part of the show to Isaac, and did find it rather stilted. Also, Ervin should never be allowed to speak. Period.

But still just love seeing basketball on FTA, so lets hope they pick it up as they go along.

Who would be good to do a street Talk type segment and do silly talk with the fans, maybe a different basketball stadium each week or something.

Yes. I thought it was a bit dry.
We had this fire going ten years ago and now we've got it burning again.
It's gonna be in the lounge room every week and the dream's coming true.
Let's go . Do it for the people.

Does anyone remember Paul kuiper (spelling??) who used to do an nbl street talk section years and years ago?

As for one to host a current day version - Kevin Brooks?

yep,it had the old moth ball smell about it.

i fell asleep before it finished.....i mean,i really fell asleep.

the whole one hd thing.......i like carfino but.....

i have said before,i think we need to move away from the american commentator thing....right away, very quickly!!!
