Predictions on the NBL in future years?

I've attended Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Celtics regular season games for under $30USD a pop. Knicks were around $60USD. Midweek games mostly though, so that may factor into it. Playoffs however, are a different story altogether, as are the teams that have waiting lists for season tickets, like the Bulls or Thunder/Sonics.

Kudos on your point regarding GA tickets for $15-20, but at the same time, you'd think market demand would determine ticket prices. If Perth can get 11k attending on average with their current ticket pricing schedule, where's the impetus for them to change it? Would imagine the rent of the PA costs them a pretty penny too.

48 minutes works because it brings the old adage back into play "records are meant to be broken" and currently the NBL under the 40 minute game are only getting close or breaking records for fewest points, fewest assists and heck we can't even get our top scorer averaging 20 points or our leading rebounder pulling double figures each night.

I understand our rosters are packed and every player seems good enough to get a big of playing time but when the wildcats have 1 player (Lisch) playing over 30 minutes a game it's hard to see how an extra 8 minutes is going to wear teams down too much.

Personally I see the NBL ultimately being too expensive to take the family to (gold tickets at Wildcats games were $44/ ticket) which compared to other sports is pretty expensive. I'm happy to pay that but I hope it's not getting wasted and good to see Wildcats turn a $1m profit.

Does seeing a profit like that give any other clubs a bit of confidence about sustainability?

Enough interest to keep it going but not enough to have any impact on the saturated sports scene.

FYI guys I'm about to start another thread: Sustainability of the NBL

It's basically (exactly) the same as the 1,000 threads preceding it on the same topic, but different in that... well, yeah.

Oh, and do you guys think the NBL should just 'take a break', then come back even better?

In ten years time it will probably be an association football league.
