Goulding gets abused by everyone on D, he can't guard a chair

Can't wait for the rest of the Kev White interview at halftime, wow.

I was also told I would never play a game of NBL.

In my case they were 100% spot on.

Come on Hawks.

Conger is a hell of a player. I can see another NBL team offering him more than the Hawks can match next season.

In defense of whoever said that to Kev White from the Kings, if the Hawks weren't a low budget team a 30 min drive down the highway they probably would've been spot on.

Conger will be at Perth next year, twice the $$ as Hawks can give, Tokoto back to the US or Europe.

Gotta give Bevo credit for doing so much with far less.

For example ppl give Cooke shit saying Perth need an upgrade, but he's probably better than Delvon at everything, Bevo just uses him more.

Boo to the Sydney Kings head that told White he couldn't make it.

In a way I can't really blame him, I thought the same but congrats to Kevin for making it this far.

That travel call on CG43 is bad.

"Bad" is an understatement. Atrocious call.

Homicide played for the Washington Generals?

AJ really hasn't missed a beat, looking just as ordinary as he did pre-injury.

Chapman again on that travel call?

#740 lol.
Its game on now Melb trailed by 18 at one point. Melbourne now in front 74-73.
Felix can play

I guess I picked a bad time to go take a shower. I think Hawks were up about 11 with 7 mins left?

Who was it that posted there were concerns about Felix's athleticism etc?

Oh baby he's looking good

I watched a bunch of Felix footage back when the Cavs drafted him, I don't know who would have doubts about his athleticism because that was basically his only major strength coming out of college. Could jump out of the gym, but had an iffy shot.

I wouldn't say Kev has made it. Can’t shoot, can defend and is athletic as a potato. No one but he and his family will remember anything he has ever done on an NBL court

The foul was whistled before the buzzer, the continuation of the shot was after the buzzer, clock should have stopped on the whistle which was .3

You can look at it this way... United coaching staff focused all their efforts on defence early in the season so they would be locked in on the most important end. With the amount of scoring talent they have, they were always going to figure it out. Maybe. But defence was the most important thing for this team

Well done Melbourne!!!

It wasn't pretty but good fight boys

and without Majok & Anderson

MU clearly breaking salary cap. Easily. Surely conflict of interest with LK running the league. As long as he does that it's a joke to the world.

No Norton hurt Hawks tonight, Martin can't keep punching above his class every game.

Also that corpse running around in the Ogilvy uniform hurt them too.

Does Perth hold tonight's Illawarra team under 80 points? I don't think so. Give it up for United's D

"Referees are FUMING. They had big plans to spend their Hawks bets tonight"

The refs whistled Melbourne for four fouls in the final 15 minutes, so hardly.

United doing a good Goorjian team impersonation at the moment. When refs whistle hand checks and arm bars correctly, like the first half last night, they struggle to defend.

When they can get away with that physicality on the ball handler they become an awesome defensive team.

Will be interesting to see how they go against Perth and NZ who space the floor well and move the ball, making it hard to play that way.

Goorjian's Magic/Titans teams struggled with Adelaide for the same reason, isolating the defenders makes it harder to ignore the contact.

Straight up, Prather ain't getting some of the boards that Felix ripped down last night. Not only a matter of being in position for them, but the athleticism to go over people and the mentality to go and get it at all costs. Prather doesn't have that in his rebounding game

Only 2 games in but Felix seems to compliment the team perfectly. I'd love to see Prather and Felix play together. But that'd mean Ware or Boone get axed and that obviously won't happen.
