Hawks v Sixers Oct 21

lol can't go around throwing elbows

White got lucky, two calls were a disgrace, one a charge and he clearly wasn’t there, and Brooks rip through White was again clearly in Brooks space with his right leg across Brooks. I believe the refereeing has been good this year but when in doubt award the offence.

Well I'll be damned. Kevin White shut down Brooks.
I didn't know it. I didn't think it could be done, but in the final end,
he won the game for us.

A win is a win but jeez we made that harder than it had to be.

This crap may work against Hawks and Taipans but it won't against Kings, United and Wildcats.

Don't feel too bad for Dillon he's never been able to stick at any of the numerous NBL teams he's played for and got a 2 year deal out of the Sixers.

^^^ not convinced but Joey will work it out.

Overating Drmics D and underrating McVeigh's.
Two great plays contesting shots early in the fourth with no foul that led to poor shots and important Sixer stops.
Plus he will score. Maybe a few more of Drmics minutes.

He tried and only lasted half a season in Poland. They like their centres to be more traditional over there back to the basket, hit the boards, block shots and of course play some semblance of defence which DJ isn't interested in.

why is DJ still in the NBL and not Europe

Drimic plays much better D than McVeigh. Flexing your muscles ain’t playing D.

Would like to see what McVeigh would do with Drmics minutes. Jack playing well. Drmic not so well.

Well, they almost won that one, to be fair.

Why do zero offence????

Heal telling us all the Froling brothers are going to the nba. It might be there athletic ability that gets them there. Grida got nothing and Illawarra coach makes Gaze look great.

Amazing the contrast between the two 'expert' commentators.

Can we put Corey on mute?

Holy shit! Why foul that!

Anyone elses stream, feed, channel, whatever, video (not audio) freezing every so often, like my ESPN is?

If we lose this...

36ers are the leading cause of high blood pressure

SBS stream scratchy for me too normally quite good.

Johnson has been real bad

Love clicking on the text play by play within the Twitch video. This is next level.

Pffft time, what about #MeloFactor

It’s between 3am and 6am in the US on Monday Morning so no one's awake to watch over there

Twitch main feed has a toolbar where you can view players stats and play by play etc. Very nice.

Touch wood, SBS has been perfect for every game for me. Maybe check your connection, don’t have a VPN or anything like that do you?

I’d take Dwayne ahead of this bloke. I’m glad not to many people are watching, it’s street ball.

What is this interactive toolbar on Twitch coverage?

SBS on Demand has been consistently woeful for me this season. Freezes up every couple of minutes then I'm restarting to watch the same Bunnings or hungry jacks commercial.

1,173 on the regular feed. Still seems low especially for a LaMelo game.

Dwayne's not commentating so I'm ok with the normal coverage

Four viewers on the clean feed according to Twitch. Woeful.

How can the xommentators miss that kevin white was standing over brooks pivot foot, leaning into him? The elbows weren't pointed. I actually agree with homicide, it was a malice free rip through defence should not have been there.

Horrible call on Brooks, clearly inside his cylinder, just wish he’d taken Whites nose off.

This is awful to watch

Yes it’s very soft, I’d prefer a bit defence from both teams.

Who is the commentator with Liam and Corey?

It seemed Dillon's role changed once Randle came in for Taylor.

Quit shooting 3s

Street ball, no defence at all. Homicide talks some shit.

Oh I see...

Randle's wife threw food at a Hawks supporter in Adelaide during a playoff game a few years back.

First steam to 120 wins

Why is the crowd booing Randle, what an I missing?

I heard Boone was out v SEM because he wasn't allowed to fly.

I'm old enough to remember what a Yumbo was.

Intriguing game this 36ers should be favourites with the way they played on Saturday night but I think those performances might be the exception to the rule this season and Hawks desperately need to win this at home so they don't fall to 1-4.

Hawks by 4

"The official NBL face mask (made by First Ever) is covered with Hungry jacks logos."

Plus viewers get a free Yumbo with sauce if the nose gets rebroken

"Broken nose. Not allowed to wear hard protection. Risky after only 1 week."

Ok, they said he'd definitely miss the first game of the round, with 2nd game day-to-day. Why isn't he allowed to wear face protection? Against the rules in NBL or something?

Any word on Boone playing?

LOL, that haircut certainly doesn't suit Coenraad.
