Breakers v Hawks Oct 24

No. #worldgonemad

That's gold. They flood all the prime Sky Sport channels (e.g. Sky Sport 1) with things like women's rugby now - 8am to 2pm today is women's rugby (SS1 has highest viewership numbers because the commercial streams only use SS1 or 2).

I'm convinced it's just PC gone mad e.g. shoving women's sport in our face;

Even though women's sport has the lowest viewership numbers;

Sky sport's days are numbered anyway. Can't wait.

I think the next Breakers game is actually live FTA on Prime anyway;

Was watching the post game interview with Matt Walsh about the success the club had getting a sellout crowd and then a graphic popped up for NZ viewers that the next Breakers game was airing on SS8 (Sky Sport 8). ROFL - The Ocho, literally.

All the imports are guns, really. Sek definitely the most surprising as I'd never heard of him and he looked like a budget signing, but instead looks solid as hell (literally and figuratively).

Loved RJ’s poise, he didn’t force anything until it was a forgone conclusion.
Brandon Ashley was great until he picked up his 4th and came back on with 5 to go and picked up where he left off.
Majok played a ton after Loe left with a possible skull fracture and showed his worth.
Henry, Hopson, Webster, Weeks and Abercrombie all played excellent and it’s great to finally get a win especially at home in front of a huge crowd.
Fun Breakers team to watch tonight

They need to find a way to get the ball out of Ball's hands more, and get it back in a position where he can attack at the right moment. He is playing high school ball at the moment and it is hurting a team that can't afford to be hurt!

Glad I missed most of that one.

It’s a massacre. Ball or no Ball no one in Wollongong will turn up to watch this rubbish. Illawarra will get the spoon.

Some posters here do not understand. LaMelo is playing at Illawarra. This is the perfect team for him as he can basically play all the minutes and take all the shots he wants to.

Even though he is young and raw he is a class above and Illawarra couldn't buy a talent like him.

No one at Illawarra can defend. The difference in defence between this team and the kings the other night is unfathomable. There offence is one out, who put this team of geriatrics and babies ain’t working.

Do NZ get to have commentary team at the game?

Looks like the Hawks have been smoking Marlboros and are now wearing the box

inb4 Homicide proclaims that Will Weaver is a CALM man.

Even worse for US eastern time zone - 2:30AM.

Not sure why they would fixture such a hyped game between the 2 marquee next stars going head to head for the first time... at 5:30 AEDT...on a Thursday.

Surely if they were smart they would give it a later prime time spot on a friday or Saturday. Or make it a Saturday/Sunday arvo game so it's also USA-viewer friendly.

Not that great for NSW/VIC (5:30PM), pretty bad for SA (5PM), bad for QLD (4:30PM), and super shit for WA (2:30PM).

Overall they picked probably the worst possible timeslot to fixture this game imo. Could have pulled some very good viewer numbers with the right time.

Breakers coach seems switched on as well. Breakers by 13.

Yeah, Breakers should take this one.

1. Carmelo Anthony
2. Lebron James
3. Chris paul
4. Kevin Durrant
5. Kobe Bryant

Any calls on how I rate?
