NBL TV coverage is poor

I think you are getting confused with Jenni Whittle ;-)

Is that Kerry Whittle?

Thanks for the link to twitch. I used it last night after hearing both Dwayne and Kerry were calling the Taipans/Hawks game. It was bliss!

You literally just go to the web page linked above by Perthworld. That's it. The commentary version is on the regular NBL channel.

"Hey Cram - I know what you mean. I asked my kids and they're all over it. Maybe yours can help too"

Haha don't have any. Might have to consult one of my mates kids. Cant work out how to turn the commentary off

Yes Lovebroker. It's like being at the game.

Commentary aside the stream on Twitch is also flawless.

So it's free, with feed options and running on a superior backbone by the leaders in live streaming broadcasts. It's a win.

In the Twitch stream can you still hear the on court sounds, the rebounds, the swishes the ref's whistles?

I have to agree that Twitch is the way to go. The live game discussion needs more sensible contributors, so knowledgeable fans are welcome.

Can't comment on the streaming quality as I've only watched TV coverage. That said, SBS coverage has also been fine for me on TV.

Commentary doesn't really worry me as I can see what's happening and just mentally tune them into background most of the time. Exceptions are when someone says something particularly dumb or particularly insightful.

On that front, I think Gaze is doing better this year, since his coaching stint with the Kings. On thegames of his I've seen, he's given more interesting tactical observations in his commentary and less hyperbole. I liked Jenni Screen on whatever game I heard her on at the weekend. Also added more value for me than she subtracted. Beyond that, I don't recall anyone else saying anything that added real value to what I could see for myself on the TV.

Either you can watch on desktop or download the Twitch app.

Thanks for the tip, now how does one twitch? I feel old.

That Phoenix home game had nothing but the same music playing in the background and Perth had Jenny Screen talk over Lachie Reid every time...

Where are the better commentators ?

No I don't mean NZ

No commentary/clean feed link:

Have you ever seen any other team as mentally fragile as this team? As an opposing team all you would have to do is maintain striking distance at 3 quarter time, apply a little pressure in the last and you would be confident of running away with it. Just once I would like to leave a game in a good mood
