Ubaka sacked from tigers??

So what do we need most - a PG or a Centre? Personally, I'd go all-out for a good Centre so we can push Trigger or Rush out to PF.
I still reckon we play the wrong kind of game for the guys we have. Trigger and Rush I'd keep cos they're playing well. Dorsey's better than he's showing on offense right now, but he plays great defense. I'd keep Dillon because I reckon the combo of him + Dorsey + a decent PG running hard would be great to watch.
Otherwise, I reckon everyone else is bench material (sorry guys) - certainly not starter material compared to the rest of the league. Time to start trading up.

bahahaha Happy Days nice work

Very amusing happy days!

A train i am suggesting that changes were needed. They were completely out rebounded on Sun & even the coach said they didnt want the ball as bad as GC. Seamus wanted a bite & Ubaka obliged. The Taipans & D Corletto would have little grins from ear to ear right about now!

I would never stand there and take abuse from anyone let alone an overweight dickhead, I couldn't care less if he was my boss or not

I really can't understand why the Tigers aren't running more. With phenomenal athletes like Dorsey, Dillon, Lewis & co, why not run the fast-break as your first option instead of slow boring sh.t which gives slow heavy defenders an equal chance. I remember seeing one quarter a few games ago when they ran every ball and jeez they did well.

He recruits the coty & 2 gun imports from last season & it all goes pear shaped. Just goes to show looking good on paper means little. Seamus frustrated to have made no improvement on last season. Could have kept homicide & had dmac & giddey & been middle of the road - & not looked this stupid!

He's obviously a control freak who is passionate about his tigers being contenders. No one likes him & his style but he may have just saved their season. At the end of the day the players are his employees & thats exactly how he treats it. Told Ubaka to 'find a new job'. Ubaka & Dorsey look terrible in whatever it is Trev is running. I'd sack em both!

Mate of mine in the crowd reckons after the game seamus was running around screaming he'd 'sacked the scumbag' & called him a 'useless piece of shit'! He obviously does't hold back & why should he when he's paying people good money & getting no effort in return!

We are about to find out if Gleeson can coach...

McPeake makes Mark Cuban look passive.

Ubaka on Twitter:

"For the record Fans, I was disrespected & told to leave by the owner. I never would quit on coach,team or the fans. Much love "

"Tigers, both the "Melbourne" and "Xinjiang Flying" species, have done an admirable job in recent times of showing us how not to treat your basketball players as employees..."

I'd love to see Seamus pay for his behavior. But Homicide and Ubaka on the same team would be disastrous

The Tigers NBL franchise is just Seamus' way of trying to show everyone how big his d*** is. Somebody is obviously compensating for something ;) LOL

Seamus seems to be getting all "Sudam Hussain" on the club from the look of it. Might have to re-brand the tigers "The Melbourne Dictators".

Frankly the guy can invest as much money as he wants, but he's an absolute joke if he thinks that gives him the right to tell people how to do their job when he has no experience in said profession.

I don't mind an owner being vocal during game time as if he was just another fan, but his ego needs to be checked quick. I wouldn't mind seeing the next melbourne franchise with Homicide and Ubaka as the backcourt and during the first local derby, just have them both give Seamus the bird.

Unfortunately, the NBL will put up with Seamus because they need the Tigers right now. Once the new Melbourne team gets established and has dragged away swags of supporters, then maybe they'll finally do something about his behaviour. By then it will be too late for the Tigers fans, though - I reckon we'll start seeing them stay away.

Melbourne are a really solid close knit organization who really look after their athletes, lol

its the tigers, happy days, itll be done when they say its done.

I listened to the SEN interview as well but Im not so sure its all done and dusted.

Chewy said Seamus had a blow up and told him to get out, so he did. He then however went on to say that he was still going to go to training today and carry on with his daily routine - maybe he is rethinking actually walking out of the changeroom in the heat of the moment?
Maybe it was just a locker room blowup that got out of hand and in the cold light of day Seamus and Chewy will have a chat and move forward?

God knows they need to with 2 matches this weekend that could make or break their season.

I'm not sure how Dorsey survived the axing! Wondering whether Gleeson is soon to follow? I hope so. For a previous coach of the year he has been disappointing.

Ubaka suffered from being a shooting guard forced to play point guard. He was hopeless in making his team mates better or setting up opportunities. Slow getting the ball moving up the court, slow moving the ball around, and not enough drive-and-dish. For that I blame Gleeson. Anyway, Gleeson's decision-making suggests that he won't be round much longer either.

Wonder if they've got Patty on the way & thats why its Ubaka & not Dorsey. Mills & Dillon is a strong backcourt. Is Gleeson safe? They played terribly & without desire. Trev must be having sleepless nights!!

Ubaka would be a great asset to a lot of teams in this league.

Suprised he didnt sack Dorsey. He's lost his game & totally sucks!!

Corletto will be laughing his ass off.

Disgraceful the 3 of them left Cairns. Tigers were terrible tonight. Hope they've got Patty on the way...

When you go and get a progams there not a team listing of the players names or numbers it's a bit hard to follow Basketball sa needs to look at.
No right up in the paper again more netball good one Basketball SA
doing a great job.
