Cairns v Melbourne Nov 29

Casey Frank....I forgot about Casey Frank, he and Anstey tie for worst commentators.

2002.

pissed away*

Not as sweet as the Sixers eliminating the Wildcats

Gaze then daylight, Anstey and Hooley not bad.

Anstey is the worst commentator...by far

Gaze is best followed by Heal.

A #4 Taipans eliminating #1 Kings in the semis would be sweet.

Deng got the other hand on MI, still long way to go.

I think Drmic's already got one hand on the Most Improved trophy.

Deng is a beast this year. Should be a lock in for Most Improved.

My hand is up.
Critical, yes but not hyper-critical.
I genuinely admire the man and think he is a good fit for Cairns.
But it is pretty obvious there is a much more assertive Kelly out there this season.
Why did it take him so long!
And will he build on it?

How many people here were hypercritical of Kelly in his first season as coach, and early this season?

Imagine a top 4 of Sydney, Perth, MU and Cairns scraping into 4th. If Sydney drop a few games and MU and Perth are close to 1st, which of them would want to match up against Cairns?

toni caldwell warning deng for guarding with hand in face and she also stopped mayberry from going to his beloved tv.

Prather did as good a job on Machado as anyone I have seen.

Seen Melbourne in losing efforts of late. Long has looked like a cry baby in those losses.He is up when playing well, but when things aren't going well not so much.

Melbourne so individual this season, no team work, no fluency.

Vickerman is Kelly’s bunny. Long gets lots of boards but so many off his own missed shots. Long and Trimble are terrible defensively, the Melbourne bench has high reputation but not much chop.
If Cairns could beat Illawarra they would be in second place. There imports and Deng have been excellent, Noi and Jawai useful with little bit help from Kenny.

Lol, bagging screen when she is an opal Olympian and part or the Victorian high performance team.
She knows basketball, she just struggling with commentary.

It's Jenni Screen and apart from listening to her own voice, she LOVES to say "they'll get another opportunity".

On this display Kings will beat Melbourne by 20+ on Sunday

All over for Melbourne with Dead Man aka 'The Corpse' Dave Barlow fouled out!

Homicide is now as bad as Heal, keeps talking his mates up. Long getting eaten by Oliver and he’s still raving that Long best big man in league.

Folks still waaaaaay too keen to write teams off early this season. United could easily take this from here.

Now it’s getting embarrassing for Melbourne.

United= Pretenders.
Should be smashing Cairns.
They should be looking at winning this because they won’t be beating the Kings.
Could be 1 & 1 but looks like 0 & 2.

A lot of wrist on that block from McCarron.

Jenni Screen pls be quiet. Kthxbai.

Thought you were supposed to put your hand in the shooters face when guarding.
Didn't know you couldn't do it.
Livingston sounds pretty good (at perth) txt from mark worthington to the telecast, telling them that.

I’ve seen Barlow called for three fouls, why do the stats people only have two. Australian stats people are useless.

Melbourne should win this comfortably, Cairns will be tough early but there bench depth is to week, even there starting five have defensive weaknesses. Melbourne with Long being angry after not playing much last outing and Trimble who has improved out of site will be keen to get a big win. It’ll b 10 plus imo.

Good chance for an upset in this one I think, with the Mel-Syd game on Sunday.

keen to see if Vickerman kicks a chair into the crowd again.
