Title should have a ? At the end.

States are closing the border to Vic at the moment so Queensland and NSW teams and 36ers may not be able to get in to hub. Then there will be a 2 week league shut down at the end of it.

But states will want 28 days free of transmission before reopening borders. That's been the standard approach.

Should of been in Tassie to help promote Jack Jumpers not Vic, LK home cooking getting is team a bonus 7 home games.

NBL1 South Fixture is dropping today...

Fair call re the 28...but we haven't reached the peak of this out break yet by the looks. So 14 days...from when?

SMH...no one knows when that will be but we do know when the cup starts.

Andrews just said professional sports is a job, and can continue just not as entertainment with crowds.

So games this weekend and the NBL cup could go ahead just with no crowds.

The NBL Cup is in Victoria because the Victorian Govt. provided a large $ incentive to the NBL including the prize money and covering some of the costs. If another state wants it maybe that Govt can open their wallets...

If that's true - that says a lot for the pull of the NBL

It is every ad I see of the NBL Cup includes the Vic Govt logo, LK knows what he's doing.

2 vic games postponed this weekend

It's almost like building a month-long inflexible block into a season that needed a lot of flexibility was a bad idea.

There is no statement from the NBL website about any postponement.

MEL v CRN game has officially been postponed.

A decision on the SEM v PER game to be made tomorrow.

Not sure why they didn't just can the SEM game now... Unless they think they can still play it.

FROM MELB UNITED

Following the announcement of a five-day lockdown in Victoria, the NBL has announced that tomorrow's game between Melbourne United and the Cairns Taipans at Bendigo Stadium has been postponed.
Details of the rescheduled event will be communicated once released by the NBL.
More info regarding tickets to this game will be communicated in due course. Until then, ticket holders may request a refund via the Ticketek website if they wish.

They need ticket revenue.

The Melbourne game could have been postponed because of it being in Bendigo... NBL might not be willing to travel during the lockdown.

Could also be why the SEM v PER game hasn't been canned yet, being that game is in the city.

Cairns are also still in QLD, whereas Perth are already in Victoria.

And Sydney and Brisbane and Perth.
And Adelaide.
And NZ x2.

Perhaps people suggest Perth because there are 14,000 wildcats members (that's another advantage btw) that want to watch games?

When people suggest perth i think they realise that it won't/can't happen because of the reasons you say #240, but we are used to it. We've had Scorchers and Glory GFs moved to Canberra and Sydney at the last minute because of 'time difference issues' despite earning the home ground advantage. Perth also was not considered for a cricket test match this year despite having a new stadium and the highest possible attendance, cricket Australia stuck with tradition over safety. Not to mention bands bypassing Perth on world tours .

People also get that the Vic government handed over a lot of cash for the cup, but until their covid containment sorted it can't stay in Melbourne and Perth people would at least like to be considered for once.

Perth -Phoenix will go ahead with no crowd

Re: SEM-PER - somehow the odds are 1.90 for both sides despite the thrashing on Thursday.

If they didn't announce a delay when there was a COVID outbreak, they're not going to announce a delay now that Victoria is coming out of lockdown.

Doesn't really belong here but not worth its own thread and is about the NBL Cup.

Just watching a game and would like to see a graphic for NBL Cup points, live, say at each break.

With 7 points up each game, NBL CUP ladder can change quarter x quarter.

Also be interesting how the reg NBL ladder changes as the W/L's are taken into account.

End-of-game wrap-up actually had graphics of both ladders. Thank you!

This sometimes gets updated every half, at least. (Sometimes...)
