They won that with consistent effort across the roster. Team play for every minute of that game. Played both ends as a team. Trusted each other, whether star or role player. Have to appreciate that - fantastic basketball.

Looks like more Wildcats fans than United stayed back.

Very classy Melbourne United.

Safe to say he's more of a shooter than a public speaker

Watching F1 rn, but I can only imagine. He's given the best interviews all season.

"Yuhh we buzz gud tonayt. *inaudible*"

Well done Perth- clearly the better team in the end.

Benchmark of the NBL, on and off the court and have been for many years.

With Cotton, Kay and Norton locked in long term, they're set to remain a force.

Extra happy that the win involved getting one on the road, knowing what the narrative would largely have been had all the games gone with home court.

Definitely one of the most satisfying NBL championships. That's a quality team we just took down.

Congrats to Perth as a fan I'm stoked our championship drought is over.
Respect to Melbourne they were my pick all season so it was good to see top two faceoff.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND AND WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TIL THE END

Championship drought... Gold

If only Perth had a third import.

Kudos to Perth. They played like aTEAM which was focussed and adapted quickly to the way the game was being called. And Gleeson made Vickerman look ordinary.

The baseline play Norton executed twice today illustrated how well drilled they are.

Perth really are a brilliant basketball team.

Well drilled, motion offence with plenty of variations where everybody buys in and makes the extra pass. Even Cotton.

They absolutely smash the offensive boards too.

Their bigs are solid defenders who help, recover well on the screens. Near the hoop their whole team knows when to help across from the weakside. Martin, Norton and Cotton are brilliant defenders on the perimeter who also cover the passing lanes and create steals.

Gleeson deserves credit for how well they're organised.

No LV...we want a breakdown of how the refs screwed Mitch, including the time stamp of each foul.

While White's speech did not acknowledge Melbourne Damian Martin more than made up for it with his class speech.
It doesn't matter if you're a Perth fan or not there wouldn't be many NBL fans who don't like him.
Class player with his 5 championships all at one team.

As for White it was a short and sweet message saying f... you to all the doubters.

Coach of the decade! It's the shit we go through all season and the shit we talk at least we can back it up!

The player's heart and the willing to do what it takes over an extended period of time is something that no other professional team in Australia has done. Also the nbl as a whole.

When you win you forget about the past 6 months but credit to every team and United!

If you want a laugh go to RAC arena Facebook page and watch their compilation of homicide saying the wildcats suck and won't make it

1) I for one, am EXTREEMLY happy that if the cats were to win this, that they won it on melbourne's court.


2) Absolutely aree with these comments -

Yeah Gleeson doesn't get enough credit imo. Can be a real flog at times, but is a great coach and gets results. "" End Quote


all the above is true, however "can be a real flog at times" is an understatment.

3) if 2019 Goulding had played in 2018, adelaide would have won the championship IMHO. - He simply must have been injured ?

Goulding just wasn't in the series.

Most of his shots were one out with an opponent in his face.
