I’m hoping for a Hawks/Jack Jumpers grand final series but I’d be happy to see either make it.
Very happy for Scott Roth, he seems like a class act.

I second that!

Not off to a good start. Both Sydney and Melbourne United look strong (and deep).

The NBL is a fantastic product, quality of the game and league is great. Fantastic job by Larry K.

Would love a card release, some great potential autos

United - Goulding, JLA, White, Delly
Kings - Cooks, Vasiljevic
Hawks - Reath, Froling
Jack Jumpers - McVeigh, Magnay
Perth - Cotton, Travers
Phoenix- Creek, Broekhoff
Adelaide - McCarron , Humphries
Brisbane- Sobey
Cairns - Deng, Noi
NZ - Delaney, Abrecombie

All of the above are also local players, so doesn’t include imports.

Also could go some great legend cards like Gaze, Loggins, Heal etc

Would’ve loved some NBL cards - thought a company might’ve got in on it during the Covid card boom.

Maybe in recent years it’s been the high turnover of the league that’s deterred them. Every year massive changes in every team.

wildcats did have cards this year with rare Cotton autos in them

Great fight back by Tasmania. Hopefully my Hawks do the same tomorrow

Great game

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Good game but man it's brutal being a Hawks fan.............

Cooks and Adams are a great 1-2 punch for the Kings. Would love to know why we didn't end up with Cooks but I can reasonably assume it was $

 

[macgreg]

Wow - what a game by Tasmania!

 

[macgreg]

What a legend. First season in the league and they are in the Grand Final.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Great season so far by Tassie

 

[P-Dawg]

As a United supporter it hurts, but wow what a season by Tassie. Roth an absolute legend to get them this far.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Josh Adams

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

What a fairy tale it would be if they could win it all - Kings look damn solid though and they absolutely charged into the finals winning 13 in a row or whatever crazy number that was!

 

[P-Dawg]

Hoping Jack Jumpers win it all, though can’t see Kings being beaten (even if United made it)
