Hoops

Most hated team?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yes. ( I seem to recall growing up here and it was Port Adelaide in the footy,
as they kept winning, most of the time.)

Of the nine teams, Perth are called for the least amount of fouls

My issues with teams I dont like are more off court with some on court antics that annoys me.

1. Illawarra - they keep the league from progressing. Small crowds for years and no real sign of improvement. Wollongong simply dont care about their team and therefore why should I? Not against small regional clubs, but the Hawks are a bit of a mess on and off the court and played the "battler small town team" for too long. Especially when you see what Cairns can do with an even smaller population.

2. New Zealand - I hate how they refer to the NBL as the ANBL. Its the bloody NBL. There is no confusion. The NZ league is called NZNBL and its a semi pro state league level competition played inbthe NBL offseason. Call the NBL what it actually is please. It annoys me.
Their new owners seem to be a mess but I do like how their fans have come back in big numbers this year. Same should be happening at Illawarra.

3. Adelaide - cant stand their tough guy antics. They are far too hot headed and bit tired of it. Their owners and management come across as a bit unprofessional and cheap and its not a good look.

Not a fan of Brisbane that much either although I will stay patient with them as they have new owners and venue. Lets hope they get something going soon.

That reminds me of a classic I overheard once at Challenge about the Hawks with a father telling his young son: "Wollongong is in Sydney."

If a player carried on like Gleeson does he’d be ejected.

Love them all sort of, peace and love not war. :)

"And, they've been harder to hate since Redhage retired"

^^^ This is where I'm at. I actually like every player on their roster (or at least don't dislike any of them) - at this point, Gleeson is the only thing about them that I don't like, purely based on how he carries on on the sideline.

Melbourne only got the Australia vs Dream Team game because of Kessleman and because Adelaide didn't want it. It had nothing to do with our leaky roofs or lack of EFTPOS facilities, or the fact that all our supporters complain about our seats because we cannot see squat.

Hilarious thread

Melbourne always has and always will be the centre of the Australian basketball universe and indeed Australian sport

There's a reason why we get all the big events, world cup finals, Aus vs Dream Team, F1,Aus open tennis, etc. and why more Aussie bball stars are from here, why Melbourne teams have won the title almost half the time, etc

Haters.

Although yes I respect them

And, they've been harder to hate since Redhage retired

Perth then daylight

Perth

Adelaide and Perth equally, although I respect Perth.

I can assure you that you were NOT there and I can also assure you that you DO support one of the clubs, just judging by the salt. If I had to support a team who had Jerome Randle, then daylight.. then Drmic, and nothing behind him, I would be salty too. If Jerome is off, you don't have a chance, despite how naive you want to be.

I just came from the game, and the crowd was loud and engaged. That's how I know you were there. And even if the "why do they get two points on some and three on others" comment was real, which I doubt since the rest of your post is BS, how do you judge an entire state on one comment from one person? if I went to an American football game in Dallas, and I asked someone why they get a certain amount of points for a touchdown, another amount for a field goal, does that mean that Dallas don't know football?

Perth
(daylight)
absolutely anyone else
