Adelaide.
So much fake bravado, embarrassing front office and Drimic's facial hair

Gotta be Perth. Too many titles.
Though the team I love to hate is Adelaide.

Perth

Perth then daylight

Although yes I respect them

And, they've been harder to hate since Redhage retired

Haters.

Hahahaha I love the anonymous comment from a deaf numbskull Victorian. Hurt your feelings mate? What an embarrassing crowd and franchise that can't win without spending 4mil on a team... I don't support any team in this league. Or Jerome Randle or any of the players.

Try again. I might have seen you at the game? Were you the bloke who asked the nuffie question about 3 pointers?

Im not the only one judging your entire state. the rest of the country also despise the stench coming from the Yarra city. Certainly has mutated the locals to the point they enjoy a mundane life of living in shoebox houses and telling themselves "hey, Melbourne is great..."

Heartland of basketball. Lol.

I travel alot for my job and the NBL crowds in Adelaide and Perth are so much better.

Hilarious thread

Melbourne always has and always will be the centre of the Australian basketball universe and indeed Australian sport

There's a reason why we get all the big events, world cup finals, Aus vs Dream Team, F1,Aus open tennis, etc. and why more Aussie bball stars are from here, why Melbourne teams have won the title almost half the time, etc

"And, they've been harder to hate since Redhage retired"

^^^ This is where I'm at. I actually like every player on their roster (or at least don't dislike any of them) - at this point, Gleeson is the only thing about them that I don't like, purely based on how he carries on on the sideline.

From a Basketball perspective it has to be Sydney.
Biggest City in the Country by far, should be drawing 20k a week in a magnificent stadium, but they just keep embarrassing themselves.

The stench of the Firepower Scandal still hangs over them.

Only time they had success was playing thug-ball under Goorjan.

"but I actually heard someone in the crowd ask "how come they get 3 points sometimes and 2 other times?"

ROFL, if you ever come to a Perth game, and are seated near the sponsor seats, please wear ear-plugs.

If a player carried on like Gleeson does he'd be ejected.

That reminds me of a classic I overheard once at Challenge about the Hawks with a father telling his young son: "Wollongong is in Sydney."

My issues with teams I dont like are more off court with some on court antics that annoys me.

1. Illawarra - they keep the league from progressing. Small crowds for years and no real sign of improvement. Wollongong simply dont care about their team and therefore why should I? Not against small regional clubs, but the Hawks are a bit of a mess on and off the court and played the "battler small town team" for too long. Especially when you see what Cairns can do with an even smaller population.

2. New Zealand - I hate how they refer to the NBL as the ANBL. Its the bloody NBL. There is no confusion. The NZ league is called NZNBL and its a semi pro state league level competition played inbthe NBL offseason. Call the NBL what it actually is please. It annoys me.
Their new owners seem to be a mess but I do like how their fans have come back in big numbers this year. Same should be happening at Illawarra.

3. Adelaide - cant stand their tough guy antics. They are far too hot headed and bit tired of it. Their owners and management come across as a bit unprofessional and cheap and its not a good look.

Not a fan of Brisbane that much either although I will stay patient with them as they have new owners and venue. Lets hope they get something going soon.

Adelaide and Perth both suck balls

Boo is this really about a discussion into which NBL teams people dont like or a platform for you to vent on how you hate Victorians? Did something happen to you when you visited Melbourne last time that has made you ashamed?? Why so angry...

Of the nine teams, Perth are called for the least amount of fouls

For me, Brisbane. So many poindexters on one team.

Yes. ( I seem to recall growing up here and it was Port Adelaide in the footy,
as they kept winning, most of the time.)

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
