I have no idea what all that was about. I assume some people thought it would be a good idea to get #NBL13 trending and it blew up fairly quickly.

Comments were needed, there has been some atrocious reffing this season and changes need to be made, no one usually has the balls to say it though, BUT, if people are normally fined for less, then he should have been fined too. Another example of inconsistencies.

No doubt the reffing this season has been bad, mainly due to inconsistencies, but the league can't let the "ex-NBA" guy get away with that.

Flynn was just upset that he had been torn a new one by the leagues best defender.

Yeah I agree, it is probably a good thing for the Wildcats.

Lets just hope we can re-sign Bevo and Lisch.

Word on the (Boti Nagy) street is Lisch is gone. to Europe.
"Ah rumors, rumors. Word is out West this will be the last playoff campaign for someone whose name possibly rhymes with Bevan Dish"

It will be a big loss if Lisch leaves the Cats, but he is replaceable. Just a shame Gliddon went to Cairns.

Superb ball movement by Perth. Played better as a team, Hawks seemed to resort to hoisting up 3's.
rebounding was absolutely brutal.

Both myself and the wife are huge NBL fans and are Hawks Season Ticket Holders. Before we moved to NSW we were 36ER'season Ticket Holders so we have always loved our NBL. It was disappointing to see the Hawks get rolled but not really all that surprising. The result got us talking as to how the league has come a little bit stale and perhaps too predictable with NZ and Perth always being upo near the top so we have come up with the following rule changes to apply to Perth & NZ only (sorry Perth & NZ fans)

1 There roster must consist of only 5 players
2 No player can be taller than Nate Robinson
3 They can not call time outs
4 When the opposition calls a time out they must do sprints up and down the court
5 There feet can not leave the ground at any time
6 The game goes back to 12 Minute Quarters but they can only be on the court for 10 minutes a quarter
7 All players must have been born within a 25km radius of their home stadium
8 They are not allowed to use air transport to get to games

Now the introduction of these rules just may give the other teams a slight chance to perhaps make the Grand Final (although I probably doubt it because the refs would probably f#ck the whole thing up)

I hope the Perth and NZ fans accept this for the joke that it is

Haha good stuff Garth.

To be honest mate, Wollongong will probably get game 2 and would be right up there with Perth and NZ if they hadn't lost 3 starters to knee injuries.
