    Official NBL 2014/15 Season Thread

    The way he was carrying on during the game though, he was letting every little thing get to him. It wasn't like he wasn't getting the benefit of the ref's calls either... DeAndre Daniels was getting called for every body check on him and was severely limited by foul trouble all night. Once he...

    Official NBL 2014/15 Season Thread

    Screen was perfectly legal. Wagstaff was there and set in plenty of time, it was just that no Kings player let Childress know he was about to run into it.

    Official NBL 2014/15 Season Thread

    There is no place for that sort of thing in basketball. I am all for playing hard and physical but you can't just be running at players and hitting them with your elbow. Could be out for at least a week or two for that. His tongue in cheek tweet was pretty funny though, that may also cost him...

    Official NBL Dream Team 2013-14

    Count me in. I just rec'd a reminder from the NBL Dream Team website saying this year was about to get up and running, so I would be keen as to jump in again.

    2014-15 ESPN West Oz Cards NBA Fantasy League - $1700 Prize Pool - FULL

    Count me in for the roto for sure. As "tight-ass" as it sounds I am not really keen on the money leagues. Unfortunately I end up joining too many leagues (every year I promise myself that I won't, and every year I break that promise) and spread myself too thin to be able to concentrate on one...

    LF: 13/14 Court Kings Fresh Paint Rookie Autos

    Have decided that this will be my Rookie Set Chase for 13/14 as nothing else so far has taken my fancy (either boring or sticker autos). So if you have any available, let me know what you have and an expected price or what you may be chasing in trade. Cheers Richard

    2014-15 NBA Free Agents & Signings

    Cant see Pacers getting Dragic unless he is all of a sudden unhappy with playing with Bledsoe and is making waves behind the scenes. Even if this is the case, I agree, I just don't see what Pacers could offer Suns as a fair trade that Phoenix would be interested in taking, unless it included a...

    Your right, there are so many awesome young guys in this draft with huge potential. If they meet their potential we will have the next... 1) Paul Pierce/Melo in Jabari Parker 2) Olajuwon in Joel Embiid 3) Blake Griffin in Aaron Gordon 4) Russell Westbrook in Exum 5) Z-Bo in Randle 6) Gary...

    2014 NBA Draft (Who are we collecting?)

    I will be getting at least one Bairstow for my "Aussie's in the NBA" collection.

    Busting 2 boxes of 13-14 Select

    The cards themselves look pretty darn good. So the Rookie Auto's are sticker autos? Is that correct?

    2014 NBA Draft (Who are we collecting?)

    Being a Michigan fan, Stauskas will definitely be on my want list. I also like Aaron Gordon for his potential. They say his outside game is weak, but then again so was Blake Griffin's when he first came into the league as well. Gordon's athleticism (like Griffin's) is off the charts, so I...

    Official NBA 2014 Draft Thread

    As I was at work all day yesterday, I only got a chance to watch whole draft late last night and rest this morning, so a few thoughts... Am I one of the only people here that is excited to see Dante go to Utah? He and Burke will be great backcourt for years to come (GO AUSSIE AND GO BLUE!!)...

    Official 2013-14 Playoffs Thread - SPOILERS!

    Finally got the chance to watch the 2nd half of Game 5. I already knew the result, not being able to avoid it given how well Mills played. What an amazing result given the way the game started. At one stage the Spurs run was 50-20, that is insane on two levels, firstly the greatness of the...

    Melo to the Heat?

    There might be a 1% chance of Melo going to the Heat, but it sounds like there is a 90% that he will NOT be with the Knicks next year. Bulls and Rockets sound like they have the best chance of either fitting him in under the salary cap (Melo will have to take a huge paycut either way), or...

    I couldn't agree more about the Heat "fans". I don't care how much my team (whether that be Perth Wildcats or West Coast Eagles) are being beaten by, I have NEVER booed my team or left a game early. The streams of bandwagon jumpers leaving early in both Game 3 and 4 was an absolute disgrace...

    Official 2013-14 Playoffs Thread - SPOILERS!

    Not sure who will win Finals MVP if Spurs finish it off in Game 5. Given how even/team oriented the Spurs have played, you could give it to either Kawhi, Diaw, Duncan or Parker and you could have a fair case for why you did. I loved Pop's answer to the question in the post game press...

    Official 2013-14 Playoffs Thread - SPOILERS!

    Having had a long day at work today, but managing to avoid seeing a result, I was looking forward to a really competitive game, especially from the Heat, who I was sure would come out with the necessary intensity required to win Game 4. What they actually put out there was pitiful. A lot of...

    Just finished watching Game 3. WOW, what a 1st half by the Spurs. Flawless Basketball. How deflating would it be to have scored 50 in a half AND BE DOWN BY 21!!! Even though the Heat made a run in the 3rd (which all Championship calibre teams will do) they just gave the Spurs way too much of...

    Official 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup thread

    France is also going to have a great team with 8 NBA players on their roster. Australia's main issue is cohesion. Aussie players are based all over the world, playing many different styles of ball, making it hard to mesh when they come together once every 2 years for Olympics/World Champs. If...

    Lebron is not going anywhere this off-season. The off-season after that though may be a different story. Wade will be finished, Bosh will go searching for his last big payday (Dallas Mavs??), leaving Lebron with the same situation as he had in Cleveland, being him and a pile of wannabe's. So...

    What a great game 2. As expected by many, LeBron was huge. That 3rd qtr he was simply unstoppable, it didn't matter who was guarding him, he just shot over the top of them. 2 gripes though, firstly Mario Chalmers with the elbow to Parker, what a cheap shot, there is no place for that in a...

    As a player who has suffered a cramp so bad that I couldn't move my entire right leg, anyone who compares playing with the flu to playing with cramp clearly has no clue what they are talking about. I must admit though, I LOVED the jabs that came out of the Gatorade camp, totally hilarious...

    As a proud Pacers fanatic, it pains me to admit that I have to agree with nearly everything you said. If Paul George was your 2nd best player you would be happy, but I am not sure if he can consistently produce Game 5 type games and carry a team on his back on a regular basis. If anyone can...

    Official NBA 2014 Draft Thread

    Having now got off my high horse, here is my lottery predictions for this years draft: 1. Cavs - Embiid - Clearly best 2-way player in the draft. Potentially the 2nd coming of Olajuwon, but just as likely to be the next Oden. 2. Bucks - Parker - Bucks take Parker over Wiggins as they...
