NBL Cup action continues with the early game seeing the Phoenix taking on Brisbun. I like the way Brisbun play, but the Phoenix play a gooder game and so something from Melbourne should win something this weekend. SEM are going W L W L W L W, so are due an L, but I think they'll buck that trend.
When will Broekhoff debut? Anyone know?
Brisbane by 8.
Brisbane are the visual parallel of a fart noise.
Phoenix by 12.

Broekhoff hadn't left the US as of Wednesday and was waiting for a flight
Hodgson travels on all those dunks, refs have got call them. Adnam has turned into a very good player.

Lucky SEM are at home, I'd hate to see how the refs could favour Brisbane more than they have already.
Heal telling us how good Sobey is for a two point play after it was waived away for a moving screen. Santa tried to bail him out. Heal is Horrible.

Heal is horrible, and his commentary is almost as bad.

Heal, Homicide et al. - jobs for the boys. It's disgusting.
Lemonis using up his challenge in the third quarter = dumb.

From the few times I've seen the challenge used, it appears that an overturned call on a foul results in a jump ball jump ball.
Why is it not a possession arrow ball, or a side ball like when a outside ball comes onto the court in lower levels?
(Not actually against doing an actual jump ball but held ball should also be a jump ball then to be consistent)

I don't disagree with you anon. I just don’t have much pull with the lawmakers.

That'd be good. Hammer could (allegedly) bet on his own team again.

That's right, with the added bonus that NBL markets are way more liquid than WNBL.

Bullet up 16 at one point just to lose 16 points what a trash team
Brisbane should save money by cutting Johnson and not replacing him at all. It's not like they're making the playoffs.
Mitchell proving to be a very good coach.
Brisbane can't win without Cadee. :::)))
Overturned call is only a jump ball on a reversed AOS foul when the ball doesn't go in and no one has possession.
Heal is shockingly bad. How many times can he say "to be able to"?? Adds zero to the coverage other than the fact he loves to hear himself talk. Egotistical scumbag.
To think Lemanis wanted the NBL to green light Wigness as a Next Star signing last season.
Very good point. Never amazes me how coaches will play somebody to justify their opinion on them. Wigness is nowhere near ready to play NBL.
Bullets should let go of Orlando Johnson and bring back EJ Singler. Don't know why they let him go in the first place, great budget import.

Singler nah. With a two import season, you really need two studs.
Orlando doesn't make sense on the roster. As they haven’t given him the chop already, I’d say they are hanging on to,him.
