oops wrong year...

With 3 days to go I can't beleive it. Blitz advertising on TV last night!

I am chilled. I am going. But advertising 3 days b4 the event sux.

Good question, how do you watch it on the mainland???

NBL.tv and NBL Twitter are doing all the games I heard.

was there ever a fourth next star coming?

Who is in the NBL1 team?

So much mis information. Why don't you look on the NBL1 webpage?
Why not read above about the non twitter feed?
So many dumb people here.
Someone has gussed NBL TV. Huh. Now it's fact when it was a guess?
Maybe the NBL team need to be a lot clearer in everything!

I'm looking forward to seeing Sunday Dech on Sunday at the DEC.

The NBL1 All-Stars Team will have a distinctly Tasmanian flavour when it takes to the floor for next month's NBL Blitz in Tasmania.

Tasmanians Lachlan Barker, a development player with the Sydney Kings last season, and North West Thunder youngster Reyne Smith will feature in the NBL1 All-Stars Team. Hobart Huskies import Zachary White has also been named.

The NBL1 All-Stars Team will be coached by Mark Chivers, who coached Hobart in NBL1 this season. North West Thunder coach Sam Armstrong and Frankston Blues coach Andrew Harms will be his assistants.

The team includes former NBL players Barker, Adam Doyle and Igor Hadziomerovic, alongside star NBL1 imports Dain Swetalla, Damon Bozeman, Demarcus Gatlin, Deonte Burton and Najeal Young.

Nbl1 team members nominated themselves ffs.

This is all I can find on Twitter for the blitz streaming coverage. atm

Always has been.

Can you have a bet on the BLITZ

Check your fav betting agency. I know if you let the know in advance they can set a book for b'ball games. Usually a weeks notice I recall.

Yes if they have been asked to run a book.

Murdoch only looks after or reports on topics that suit his agenda. Why are you not surprised by this.

Double page spread in The Mercury and Page 3 article as well.

Looks like there are less than 10 tickets available to each of the first two nights of this, based on some ticket searches.

Solid start, albeit at venues that only hold around 1200.

Bet365 has a book on the Taipans and 6'ers game.

Nbl 1 you can see how far behind the nbl it is.

Not a spare seat in the house which is good for Tasmania.

I'll never complain about the commentary again after listening to Santamaria, Luke rattling on. Homicide who normally don’t mind dropping to there level.

Luke is a radio guy. Has no idea how to call a TV game. This is tough to listen to.

Might be an idea to have a true selection for the NBL1 team, rather than players NOMINATE themselves to be embarrassed like this. The NBL1 have decided to have other competitions on at the same time. This is embarrassing.
I don't think the Bullets are that good either!

Commentators talking up nbl1 guys that were absolute spuds. Some of the defence was abominable.

Good first game commentators were good bring on melo and RJ

Mt Gambier. Pass.

Anon, why no Mt Gambier for NBL1?

Yes the crowd is very very promising. Go nbl Tasmania.

well done so far tassie!

That, my friend, was pure pre-season.

Great to see a good crowd for a weeknight too

Man, only if cairns had a deeper bench. They would be right up there.

Griffin doesn't look greT So far for Adelaide.

Young guys like Wigness and Magnay looking promising for the future.

Nbl1 were so bad hard to make judgment on any opposition player. The other game was entertaining but early days for both sides.

Good games big gap in between NBL1 and NBL teams but fun to watch. Cairns v Adelaide was an entertaining game very close and fast paced. Both teams looked good for pre season Griffin looks good jawai looks fitter and Machado went well good signs for both teams this season.

Bring on melo,Rj,Terry and Didi

Don't hate on the nbl1 guys, it’s not the best side. Lots of players unavailable.

1250 on a Thursday night in Ulverstone to watch 3 low drawing sides and an NBL1 team play pre-season ball. Fantastic.

Expecting them out the doors at Kingborough tonight for LaMelo.

Kingston will be like the ol days tonight except in now only holds 800-900.

A combination of a Forrestville and Mount Gambier side would have done better than the production last night from NBL1 All-Stars.

Don't hate on the NBL1 though. All their teams players are playing with NBL teams...

"All-Star Team" was the wrong word to use. Maybe "NBL1 Select Team" would have been more accurate. From the moment they picked the NBL1 team it was always going to be undersized and Brisbane feasted inside.

Please don't let that game build your perception of the competition at NBL1 level. Really hard to put together a good team when the best players are in the USA or on NBL rosters and they have a couple of sessions together.

Ball looking ok among the Illawarra wreck. Defensively woeful.

Hawks back in it. Grida so over hyped.

A draw?

A draw?

O/t.!

Kings won't make finals, still to many selfish players. Bogut hopefully will help them but Creek also has to come in for Phoenix. Ware got torched by Roberson and Bruce oh boy why.

Breakers looking good with barely one team practice together.

This is going to be an awesome season

Surely benson is gone. Apart from him and maybe Griffin(need to see more), all the imports have been great.
Pity Wiley didn't stick around.
Next season, benches needed to get deeper though for a few teams. Hopefully more aus/nz talent come back too from overseas.

Gibbo didnt suit up for the Phoenix either. Kings should be concerend.
Wildcats got lazy and the subs from Gleeson cost them the game. With .9 od a sec to go Coenraad nailed the 3 to go into Overtime.
Down hill from there for the Wildcats.

Kings looked old, actually Kickett did ok, maybe time for Newley and even lisch off the bench. Maybe they were trying to impress the new coach but so many open player passes went missing. Again Kickett and Moller the only two passing it. Early days though.

Another two capacity crowds (1000+ in Devonport and 1250 at Kingborough). Awkwardly they had to turn away people with tickets at the Kingborough game.

Crowd at Launceston not as good, no parking there and not easy to get to. Will be interesting to see how full the DEC is tomorrow.

Crowd of 1588 in Launceston.

Yeah the commentary with those three guys was pretty bad. Luke especially was awful. Doesn't know when to shut the f up.

They talk up there mates, it's annoying when there scrubbing it.

how are players measured? I know a silly question, But Jordan Hunter is 6 10 and Majok Majok is measured at 6 11 and Hunter stood over Majok after the game

Sydney better than expected.

Cairns need deeper bench
Perth need some sgs
Phoenix need to get rid of benson for an athletic centre.

Perth don't care much for preseason.
Didi looking good .
Next stars class impressive, still want ALL 9 teams to have one.

Majok,is 6'9 207cm, don’t look,at the heights listed, they are always a little off.
Hunter is 6’10 209cm
Kay listed at 6’9 is 6’8
Etc etc

The heights are a load crap, Kay is 6'8" max, Majok the height is wrong as well.. there are others both ways some taller some smaller.

Perth had 3 outs. Good odds on the Kings. Thanks

Barlow showing no signs of fatigue from his world cup campaign in today's match against Brisbane.

Luke and Santamaria are horrible, just stick to the facts on what's happening. The live coverage is so bad it would good to hear a bit about the game instead of telling who good players, I’d rather make that decision with my own eyes.
Nbl lift your game on the live stream it’s no acceptable. Trying to win fans over and delivering this rubbish.

Was Barlow at the World Cup I didn't see him.

He was because Bolden WITHDREW.
Dave very upset.

So many fracktards here that simply should say nothing.

Stream quality not great today. Not ideal with some overseas fans trying to check out the likes of Ball, Hampton and Louzada.

What was today's crowd numbers. They should’ve made sure the stream was watchable.

Bullshit it was 3500.

You would think the nbl would be reasonably pleased with those numbers. Ulverstone, Devonport certainly strongly a basketball solid area. Build a 5000 seater there and play a few games there and balance in Hobart.
Probably all resolves around the government and LK business opportunities now.

3500 was the sum of tickets sold to the two Sunday sessions at the DEC. There wasn't 3500 there st any single time.

Still a great result imo.
