The Hawks will have a live stream on their Facebook page (so I'm assuming it will be on the Wildcats and NBL Facebook page too).
Does anyone know if it will also be live on NBL YouTube?

What do you mean please?
Man White is gonna be atrocious this year. Also need another big.
Deng Adele travels every time. Naar spent lot time in the gym. White the signing of the year for all other sides.

The first one by Adel was a massive travel, hard to tell on the others with the crappy video stream. Hawks' length is going to give teams trouble I think
Mooney looking good on the offense so far. We need a defensive C.
Wow, Perth is really shit! Wildcats fans must be praying that passport comes sooner rather than later this team won't even make finals.
Scrappy but nice to have basketball back. I agree Adele travels a lot, that little shuffle on the rip through used to be called.

Yeah I dont think Perth have the horses this year. Culture and coaching can only take you so far.

Yeah Mooney looks the goods around the basket. Interested to see how he does against bigger frontcourts.
Cotton gonna be scoring champ this year. Norton not really good at initiating offense. Alot of Cotton iso coming up.
Hawks have some scoring this year. Won't be a pushover at all.

The only time Naar shoots threes should be from half court or further.

Yeah Hawks are going to put up points this season, especially once they add Bairstow to the mix.

Jessup, wow. Textbook shooting form off the dribble or spotting up.
I think Travers is a great talent but we're gonna struggle if we start him
I hope Adel is going to be ok. Would be devastating to lose him from the league before the season even starts. Don't want another Brooks.

Grabbed it straight away. Couldn't put any weight on it
Adele would be better with the globetrotters, I'm far from convinced though it very early in the season.
Its pre season. Meaningless games. Up and down that's all.
Went down with little to no contact. Helped off the court.
Anyone see what caused the injury? Did he land on it?
Agree about Perth. Not a great roster. Perth have had ordinary rosters before, and struggle same as any other ordinary team.

Happened right in front of me, stopped and it slid forward as he planted. Twisted, grabbed it and was screaming straight away.
If you're relying on Mitch Norton and Kev White as your point guards, you’re gonna have a bad time mmmkay.
Cotton naturalised Jan 26, then plumlee is signing

Ugly as sin, mostly meaningless pre-season, some Good signs, but also some concerns.
Pros:
Cotton in great touch.
Moody looks promising
Travers seems to be a genuine talent, especially for a DP
Steindl looking good.
Cons:
Steindl always looks Good in the pre-season
We're going to get smashed if we have to play Moody at the 5
Norton apparently still can't connect on offence
Blancbfield looked as bad as we feared
White looked worse
Britt, our "Future PG" barely made it on court.
Bairstow would make a Good 11th man, on a 10-man roster.
Another pro Dazz,
Only Cotton and Blanchfield are contracted for 2021/22.
Dazz observant as always. noticing in december 2020 that Travers can play
Lot negative comments considering Perth won. Norton wasn't that bad, if Plumlee arrives Perth will be right in it.

Notes from only watching the 2nd half.
Cats
- Frontcourts going to struggle against bigs with athleticism
- Shervill was very aggressive
- Travers got a tonne of minutes, but his outside shot looked bad, not sure if was nerves or he's just not a great 3pt shooter
- Cotton is going to have to play better than his previous MVP season
Hawks
- Jessup and Harvey are guns
- Lots of talent, but sometimes look like they're playing streetball with both Deng's just attacking without getting anyone else involved

Deng Adel is a great talent that's for sure but still a low IQ team player as was discussed in all of the boomers selection threads for the WC
Yes Adele IQ looked very average even allowing its early season, he an athletic beast though which tantalisers. Defensively looked wobbly as well.

Yeah, sos, for some reason in tablet mode it auto corrects.
Surprised it didn't change him to Money :-)
(I might have left the 'e' out)
It's a pre-season game, the result is meaningless. Both teams using it as an outing for their bench.
Hawks looked promising. Some real talent there. If there was any doubt, I think they're going to be competitive under Goorjian.
Not sure making AJ captain was the right move. He looked even slower and softer than usual.
Considering Perth's lack of size, both he and Froling did not have much impact.

"Not sure making AJ captain was the right move. He looked even slower and softer than usual."
Unfair, this guy would've been up all night having nightmares. :P
Shervil looks like a really good player.
Mooney has surprisingly good post game and overall pickup
Cotton will be league MVP again. Looks as good as ever
I see nick Kay has a new team mate in Ukrainian international Jerome Randle. Truly trying to avoid relegation, should help Kay though which won't help wildcats as he’s probably not getting the bullet.

I feel for Kay if Randle is now his teammate over there, whatever he was seeing of the ball previously will now be significantly reduced.
Probably best to cut his losses now and come back to Perth.
Randle will pass more than his fellow American imports, as hard as that is to believe.
Hawks, kings game tomorrow is behind closed doors. All tickets sold to be refunded.
