Interesting how Andrew Gaze mentions the 36ers "lack of talent" in their loss to the Bullets. Meanwhile, the Bullets had 5 players out against the Wildcats, and we constantly heard from Damon Lowery how there are "no excuses". #NBL24
God damn those Melbourne United jerseys look beautiful #NBL24
Started this "Starter Pack" for any #NBL fans moving over here.

If you have others to add, or want to be added, HMU. Just trying to make it easier for Aussie hoops fans to migrate here.

Five games, the last three decided by 2 points, and Tasmania wins the #NBL24 title in just its third season. The Jackjumpers win game 5 83-81 on the back of a 32-point haul from Jordon Crawford, and take the series 3-2.

Early in the fourth I thought these jackies might be on the way out. But they are well and truly on the march #nbl #nbl24
Because too much #basketball is never enough, Easter Sunday brings you the decider- game 5 of the NBL Finals, Melbourne v Tasmania, winner takes all.
Who gets the chocolates? Find out on 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 ESPN, Kayo Freebies, 🇺🇸 ESPN3, or the NBL YouTube channel in about 1 hour. #NBL24
Amazing how much this #nbl GF series has swung. Early in the series, I thought Melbourne would coast to a title. After McVeigh's Miracle, I feel like we'll see the jackies lift the trophy tonight #nbl24
So that last eight seconds of the #NBL24 game today...

Very quick post- if you're still hankering for #basketball after a day of NCAA, NBA and (possibly) the F1, United v Jackjumpers game 3 starts now on ESPN Aus/NZ and on nbl.com.au/news/how-to-...
It's the #NBL24 Grand Final series- tied 1-1, best of 5.
#NBL24 Finals continue tonight- about 90 minutes from now, Tasmania hosts Melbourne (ESPN ANZ, 10 Peach, NBL on YouTube). The Jackjumpers are 1-0 down in the series but looking to bounce back; neither team has injuries to report. #basketball
If I needed to explain where my support lies for the #nbl grand final series tidal.com/track/206997... #jackjumpers #nbl24

With all the talk lately of Bryce Cotton being the greatest import in the NBL, I made an infographic comparing him to Leroy Loggins #NBL24
After the last few seasons of playoff spots coming down to the final shot of the season, this is a serious letdown. #NBL24
NBL standings after 4 Feb 2024. Melbourne 18-7, Perth 16-9,. Tasmania 14-12, Illawarra 12-12, Sydney/Brisbane 12-14, New Zealand 11-13, Cairns/Adelaide 11-15, SE Melbourne 10-16.
Week 19 games (Sydney time). On ESPN: Fri 17:30 NZ v Illawarra, then 19:30 Brisbane v Adelaide. Sat 17:30 SE Melbourne v Tasmania, then 20:00 Perth v Cairns. Sunday on 10 Peach: 14:00 Melbourne v NZ, then 16:00 Sydney v Illawarra.
Second-last week of #NBL24 gets underway tomorrow. SEM are out with a loss; losses put CNS/ADL right on the bubble.
MEL can clinch #1 with a W and a PER loss; TAS clinch a playoff spot with a W and an NZ loss. (Those positions are probably safe on points%.)
#WNBL24 is off this week (FIBA break).
