*SPOILERS* Official NBL 2012/13 Season Thread

[The Villain]

Believe the reserve is Pero Vasilevic from Adelaide to take Creeks place I get to watch from the bench and hang out with the South or North team before during and after the game.

i saw that vasilevic guy warm up the other week when i was over there for the kings game he was throwing down some big dunks and a nice windmill too....

 

[wasportsfan1]

Yeah Pero has pulled out and Benny Lewis will take Creek position in the dunk contest!

 

[BruzDB]

Kevin Lisch is out of the All Star game. Damian Martin makes sense as his replacement, but if it doesn't have to be a guard, Mike Dunigan would be a good pick.

 

[wasportsfan1]

Yeah it would be good if Marto got the nod to replace Lisch, but isnt Marto struggling with injury aswell?

Yeah I forgot about that. Hopefully Dunigan gets the nod then.

Knowing the NBL they will get some average player to fill in

Cadee apparently. Given the late notice, it makes sense.

This game really is turning into a farce though. The NBL should not have bothered with an All Star game with only 8 teams in the league.

hmmm nice choice not

 

[BruzDB]

Now Corin Henry is out, replaced by Jamar Wilson.

At this rate, none of the players originally selected will be there

Geez its a bit of a joke now

 

[BruzDB]

Another one! Petrie is out, replaced by Weigh.

This has turned into a joke!

 

[wasportsfan1]

man glad im not going! was thinking of jumping on a plane to go watch!

 

[Mr Paparazzi]

Has been a lot of replacements and even with a small picking of 8 teams getting to see Cedric, Jonny Flynn, Adris, Ervin will still be a good show.

Word is that the dunk comp is going to be very good with one of the competitors pulling out something special. I get to view this all from team souths bench hang around the players and celebrities before during and after the game.

You Guys might even see me on tv.

 

[Rodman91]

Glad i didnt get tickets now its turning into a 2nd rate All Star Game

You guys should get behind it it's a fun spectacle at the very least, dunk comp and celebrities match is well worth the admission price.

Sad to see so many people whinge about the line-ups when they have little or no idea about the game here in Australia.

 

[Rodman91]

I went back in 1996 and 06/07 it was good then

Need to bring back Aussies vs World IMO

I dunno back then it was the glory days of the NBL its different now

 

[Mr Paparazzi]

Yeah I remember Aussie vs world.

Still think they have the right format with north vs south.
Just too many pull outs and close to Xmas.

Going to be a good day regardless, people need to support the NBL and these formats otherwise they will just scrap it. Give the NBL feedback though.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Looking forward to everything!!! Love my bball

 

[BruzDB]

There's a few disappointing things about the game, but at the end of the day, it will all be stuff the NBL can learn from for next season.

I'm still looking forward to the game and hopefully South gets the W.

 

[JAMMIN]

Can't wait for the game! And dunk contest! Hope the Tiger boys show the others up!

Corin Henry is a straight swap for Jamar Wilson.
And Weigh wont get any decent court time so who cares if he is their 10th player. Starting lineups are still bloody good!
