NBL pushes back 20-21 season until after AFL and NRL finish.

I’m think 1/4 - 1/3 crowds till Christmas, 50% crowds jan/feb, back to 100% march/april/-

9000 posts from an anonymous good on ya mate.

As much as I think at times both Perthworld and Kobe are at times wankers, at least they contribute well to the forum and at times actually pass on or talk good information.
If you don’t like their stuff don’t read it.

5000+ posts from Kobe really shows you how important he thinks he is across so many topics. 2nd is Perthworld with his 4200+ posts. Both so self important.

Of course, how silly of me.

Sorry I cam in late but did anyone mention GF of the NRL? NBL generally starts before end of the NRL season.

Last year is literally the only time it's happened in the past decade:
2019: NRL grand final 6 October, NBL starts 3 October
2018: NRL grand final 30 September, NBL starts 11 October
2017: NRL grand final 1 October, NBL starts 5 October
2016: NRL grand final 2 October, NBL starts 6 October
2015: NRL grand final 4 October, NBL starts 7 October
2014: NRL grand final 5 October, NBL starts 10 October
2013: NRL grand final 6 October, NBL starts 10 October
2012: NRL grand final 30 September, NBL starts 5 October
2011: NRL grand final 2 October, NBL starts 7 October
2010: NRL grand final 3 October, NBL starts 15 October
2009: NRL grand final 4 October, NBL starts 24 September

He has told us he's always right and clearly he isn't.

NBL generally starts before end of the NRL season and did last year too. Apologies accepted.

Why should I care about your opinion? He has told us he's always right and clearly he isn't. Fuck off with your comments and you clearly are on his side.

Kobe still being the expert and giving everyone the shits. Of course he's right. He's already told us so. Oh and he's the Covid expert.

Of what?

^ USA is already evidence

why so many doomsayers?

I know we are in a tough unknown climate but why so many doomsayers? Unfortunately the country and the world can’t be locked down forever. It just can’t the ramifications are astronomical. If we stay closed there will be suicide deaths across the world than deaths associated or attributed to COVID-19

The NBL season always starts after those guys, but we don't know how sneaky the AFL will be in trying to get a longer season in for more TV time.

In reality, I know imports like to be out of Australia to enable them to pick up a gig in the next world league so the NBL might be sandwiched, but hey, if we get 28 games in the season, that's all we need and it might mean more games on a weekend.

As they say "Too much Basketball is barely enough!"

There's a bit of a spike of active cases this week between WA and Vic. Hopefully with eased restrictions we can still see active cases reducing.

haha savage

Yeah I don't really get the above posts, the NBL starts after after the AFL Grand Final regardless of pandemic, it's how it has been for years.

There's a bit of a spike of active cases this week between WA and Vic. Hopefully with eased restrictions we can still see active cases reducing.

Victoria has around 70 known or just a touch under, that will take a couple of months to get close to 0, at a minimum. NSW would be lucky to get there by October, albeit possible.

ME.

NBL said 'we are pushing back the season to Late Oct to avoid AFL clash'.
Curtly said 'Shouldn't have taken a pandemic to trigger this policy'
KR said 'the NBL habve always tried to avoid AFL clash'.

....your point?

It shouldn't have taken a pandemic for this to happen.

No news yet if this means the same number of games are compressed into 17 rounds or a shortened season.

It shouldn't have taken a pandemic for this to happen. There's actually talk of the A League moving to winter. That'd be a great win for basketball too.

Another minor win is that in the middle of summer most would rather be in air conditioning than outside baking.

Thank you covid19, thank you climate change.

Can anyone help me out, I am trying to find any old nba games to download. I am after somewhere where I could possibly just type in a game date and teams and be able to watch the full game. I have only found places that have last couple of years but I was hoping to get some from the mid nineties onward. All your genius basketball brains out there would be most appreciated.
