2016 Australian Basketball Challenge, Friday

Perth vs Tianjin - 14:30 EST/14:00 CST/12:30 WST

Sydney vs New Zealand - 17:00 EST/16:30 CST/15:00 WST

Brisbane vs Zhejiang - 19:30 EST/19:00 CST/17:30 WST

All games live on NBL.com.au. Still no word on whether games will be available on demand, although I don't believe they were last year and suspect they'd have mentioned it by now if it were going to be available.

The 'Day' and 'Teams' filters on the NBL home page are new, I think? Nice to have.

Are the Chinese teams expected to be as weak as the ones who toured here recently?

If so, could be some ugly games

No reason to expect they wont be any stronger.

Unlike the touring team, the ABC sides are expected to be bringing their imports

Just signed up from the Facebook page link and it says this video is not encoded for your device.

On a Galaxy Note 3.

Hopefully it's just because it hasn't started broadcasting yet.

Only 1 import for Tianjin. Are Crawford and Maxiell still on their roster?

I get a few seconds of horribly low res video for every 15-30 seconds of buffering. Can't read the scoreboard or clock.

Stream is fine for me, quality reasonable albeit not netflix quality

Scoreboard graphic is decent for something that's not professional albeit too big and the technology isn't there for graphic timer

Agreed on the new Perth jerseys... Last couple of years there's been a lot of real questionable decisions on team jersey colours... stick to the basics, guys. There's a reason why numbers and names are supposed to pop rather than blend in with the jersey.

Nice of the Cat's uni designers to factor in how ugly numbers look on sports attire and conceal them in this ground breaking design change.

Not much of a game.

Lucas Walker trialing for a CBA roster spot.

At 18-11, it paused to buffer. Per Twitter, the actual score at that time was 31-15. It then buffered for four straight minutes, so I gave up and refreshed, missing almost an entire quarter in the process.

McKay has good energy, but not great hands.

Some NBL team needs to rescue Tre Kelley from the CBA.

If Prather shoots like this all season, could be an Ennis type of year for him.

Think that comment was more to do with the quality of the stream when I first hooked it up

Now I can see the numbers fine.

Hopefully the rest of the games involving Chinese teams are more competitive

Only way the Chinese teams are going to be competitive is with 3 high level imports. Each NBL opponent should have to donate their 'first off the bench' reserve 4/5 man to the Chinese team for the game.

Got to see maybe three minutes of the first half. Two more buffers of greater than three consecutive minutes. Quality when it does work is mostly awful, although occasionally kicks up to high enough that you can read the scoreboard.

Not sure I'm even going to bother with the rest of the weekend; it's a waste of time.

Stream seems fine for me, for what it is. The odd buffer every now and again, but the quality is not bad.

Can't get any Live Stats though. Is that just me? Says "Game not yet available".

It's not just me, there are a few others having issues. After it completely froze I switched from Firefox to Chrome, which was slightly better. Switched back to Firefox during HT and it was suddenly perfect.

Others who have been having issues have solved them by switching to video game consoles.

Stream works well for me. Enjoying this Kings vs Breakers game. Commentary is quality, especially Liam Santamaria. Only issue for me is when changing to full-screen it cuts out much of the picture for me.

I'm having the video skip ahead and then freeze until the audio catches up, which is odd. Otherwise fine now.
