End the season now.

#893 on the money

Disclaimer: I was channel surfing.

At first I was stunned until they introduced him as a former Olympian who was on the panel to talk about the affect the virus will have on Tokyo 2020. Got to plug your broadcast rights at every opportunity.

Channel 7, that local panel show which usually has only boring local issues to talk about. How times have changed.


Flashpoint? Oh, I missed it tonight. That's the every-single-episodeth time in a row I've done that.
If there's one opinion I'm really missing amongst this deluge of good information from credentialed virologists & epidemiologists, it's that of Andrew Vlahov. Now I am left with NFI.

It's a shame with the crowds.

Maybe we just have a Thunderdome. Two men enter, one man leaves. Start off with the point guards, finish with a Bogut v Plumlee finale. End it with the coaches.

Oh, the sight of Trevor G all oiled up and ready for action. I can hear 14,000 Wildcats fans screaming from here.

Vlahov is on TV right now talking about the virus.

Judge, that would've worked two months ago but it's too late for that now. These shutdowns are the only way we can have any hope.

Carona is Corona's less attractive cousin, but she swallows better than most so the lads put up with her.

The media in this country have sensationalized this into such an enormous thing that the ridiculous panic shopping we are seeing and overreacting on public transport for anyone who even remotely sniffles is condemned to hell... Well Frankston but close enough. Their irresponsible journalism is the reason why our leagues will be drastically affected when really all we need to do is. Shut down our borders for a month, isolate when and where required and rise this bad boy out.

Then we can have post-Carona victory parades with excess toilet paper confetti, high fives and all the sneezing that one can handle.

What is Carona?

Play them in Adelaide, Friday and Sunday, neutral venue and around even distance from both Sydney and Perth.

they should have played the last 2 or 3 games in Melbourne (Neutral), with just 1 day break

Lovebroker, the NBL is showing great leadership. We need to start to begin to have smarter, more measured responses and these games continuing is the beginning of that. EG; those 3-4 guys in the NBA that have got it will be fine in about 10 days and have some good immunity built up for the next time they come into contact.

I agree with #911

If the series does end tonight the Kings have no case for the Championship.

They lost the regular season series 3-1 to Perth and 5-2 for the whole year.

They have been given every advantage this year including an extra import, 3 extra players in green in the semis, a GF game 1 with a home crowd, the removal of the opposition's home crowd in game 2 and they are still behind in the series.

The regular season earns you the right to play in the playoffs but it gives you 0 rights to the Championship, you have to play and win an extra month for that, this isn't the Premier League.

If the season is called now it's either Perths title or LK is a cheat.

Haha, how does Cairns stack up against your shambolic franchise this year?

Calm down tho, no need to flip your lid about corona

Years ago

There there Manu, Perth eliminating Cairns (again) will stop hurting in due course.

I'm sure Cairns will make playoffs again in another 5 years or so. Chin up.

You're not really thinking outside the box, Lovebroker.

If they kept both games in Sydney and expedited Games 4 and 5 by a couple of days, everybody wins. Including me, who wants the Kings to win the title.

I'd be happy with no championship being awarded if there are no more games played.

#893 I call BS

Years ago

While I’d feel Sydney would be unlucky to not at least trying to get it to game five, I believe that that’s the way the cookie crumbles and it should be canceled. Do you award the championship to Perth 2-1 in GF series, the kings minor premiers or joint premier.

Don't stress, they won't play again.

Before Martin's injury, NZ were paying $1.70 and Perth $2.05. Would bookies dare put NZ too much shorter?

I finally got my account back into respectable territory, doubling my money first on a Breakers-Wildcats SF1 multi, and then throwing all of that on Perth straight up to beat Wollongong in SF2.
