Melbourne v SEM
Illi out is a loss for United. Will a change coach inspire SEM to play D or are they incapable. Who knows but you would think united got this.

Interested to see how SEM respond after the most recent debacle! Gut tells me its going to look like Utd play an underdog BigV team that puts in effort but still lacks severely in skill and systems!
4th quarter runaway game
Utd by 15

Sadly thinking Sem are heading for 20 +towelling..replacing Kelly not the solution. Sorting out the roster is the crime that needs to be solved..need to release sobey to ignite offence. And find some solid shut down D.the phoenix needing to rise ed again...

Hurt on White, now that could be interesting, Hurt has the worst minus for SEM but looks bigger than White. Can Hurt play some D to match his O ?
Yes Dotman, if SEM get smashed better make some team changes, players got to be accountable sometime as well as senior management.

Saying SEM chasing a European coach, he'll sack half the team, euro guys like D.

It's baffling that no one is talking about how bad Hunter is defensively. Hurt is constantly having to fly around and guard 2 cause Jordy is in deep drops. Hunter has had a horrible start to the season!!

Hurt the one who can't play D, he’s always out on a wing and not under the bucket.

NBL you are weak as piss. That is an unsportsmanlike foul every time

Sobey now the point, Walton out. Scrappy game, SEM showing a bit fight though.

I think the real issue is the NBL's instagram admin deactivating comments on their 'influencer seat' posts.

26 free throws at the half, nice little lead to SEM. Vadonavic knocking down some threes certainly helpful.
Vonhofe saying a euro coach on the way.

NBL deactivating comments on their tone deaf influencer posts is an outrage.

The comments were comedy gold! Obviously the NBL doesn't want to look stupid anymore.
Seriously though, they'd be better allocated to hoops kids from disadvantaged backgrounds

SEM new coach on the way they say from a long way away which suggests US or Europe.
Surprised Tommy Greer isn't giving Sammy Mac more time to prove himself.

Samy Mac doing a fine job. Glover been very good team today.

I hate to pile on Sobey but he continues to amaze me how bad his iq is. He's gone backwards big time. Not sure there's another contract in the nbl for him

Hunter been great, Hurt as well and played some D. How does team change so much in a week.

First leg of the underdog multi down
Well done SEM. Wanted it more today.
And lifted- 7 turnovers is a great effort.

Sobey has actually played very well today and team first, I'm not certain what to think of Kelly’s coaching but this looks like a different team. Hunter, Hurt played as bigs, good pitch ins by all who played.
United are pretenders, bench shown up as well, Illi is a massive loss to them, White is so hot and cold this season great one week, average the next.

United isn't a top tier contender, they're a good chance of making semi-finals but very unlikely to get any further
that's been my view since pre-season and I'm yet to see anything to make me reconsider

Well done SEM they kept cool heads when United were getting after them, legally & illegally IMO
Sammy Mac did a good job rotating players in at the right time

Good efforts from asEM today. Kept composure with every Utd push.
Sammy Mac did a good job of utilising bench appropriately and timeouts to kill momentum quickly.
Interesting that Kenyon had 0 minutes today.
Unfortunate that Walton Jr looks to have picked up a hamstring, although I think it may have helped their balance a little.

Foxwell was very good and Sobey got better with him on the court. Walton you would think will be out for a while with hamstring injury. It looked low on the leg which is normally the bad ones I believe.

The commentary team seemed unusually interested in burying Mike Kelly.
