Matisse Thybulle is not buying into the ‘Boomers culture’ - he’s reinventing it
Playing with athleticism and directing his aggression towards opponents, rather than at the officials and the federation. It’s a welcome change and a winning mentality

In the NBA, refs protect great players. In the NBL, they feed them to the wolves.
Cotton got BEAT up last night, played every minute and still had 36 points with good splits.

Bryce Cotton is a SUPERSTAR.
In two games within three days he played 79 of a possible 85 mins
Was forced to shoot 50 shots over every team's best defender(s)
Dish out 12 assists
Logged more miles than Cliff Young, faster than Roger Bannister

Dear Melbourne United,
Please stop allowing, or perhaps encouraging, your players to flop OR tell your coach to stop riding the referees on every perceived slight. Both behaviours in tandem are ruining the game, and maybe even the sport itself.
Thank you.

The monetary value of a bronze medal is about $2.40 (per Vermont Journal). Stealing a player’s rose gold is the equivalent of stealing valueless, but sentimentally priceless, family photo albums. To the guilty party - please return Nathan Sobey’s property.

Matthew Dellavedova played 12-minutes against Team USA and only 3-minutes in the bronze medal game.
"You think I'm washed Brian Goorjian?! Giving me a paddock of space on O?! Whack! 11/17, 33pts. Eat it!" - Dellavedova (in private, probably, unlikely, but maybe)

Got to respect McCarron. Forced out of United by Dellavedova, signed in one of the NBL’s worst ecosystems, his play hasn’t been to his level but the frustration at the goings on is to blame. Professional.

Scott Roth is a classy dude.
He took the first few minutes of his presser to praise John Rillie and Jesse Wagstaff (on what could be his last game). Roth also thanked Perth for the apprenticeship and Wagstaff personally for the character reference when applying for the JJs job.

People rag on Trevor Gleeson. I don’t. I love him. He’s the Gordon Ramsay of the NBL. Those players are lucky to have an employer who’s with them every step of the way in battle. Not a schemer or social climber in the slightest. I respect that very much

Dellavedova is THE best at disguising dirty blows. Truly a virtuoso. Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckardt rolled into one $45M package. His cheap shots don’t look as obvious on TV, but it’s no surprise the JackJumpers fans in arena down in Tasmania booed him on every catch.

I’m not criticising the league, clubs or players. This situation is brutally dire. I don’t see any way to improve it.

Melbourne are good. JLA provides them with such a target and roll threat. Breakers will be right up there too. Great physical and mental endurance by them to hang around after all their travels.
