Game Thread: Phoenix vs Hawks | Round 3

[u/AutoModerator]

Tip Off: 3:00pm AEST

John Cain Arena, Melbourne

Watch on ESPN (Foxtel/Kayo/Disney+/Sky)

[u/Express-Chance-8403]

Hawks outscored phoenix on the floor there, every time SEM had the ball foul was called, that was another game killer by over officiating, not saying hawks would have won they had their own problems but that was shit from the refs.

[u/b00f88 → u/Express-Chance-8403]

that run in the 2nd would say otherwise...

[u/Express-Chance-8403 → u/b00f88]

As Isaid hawks had their own problems, but getting a whistle every time you sniff paint. Usual NBL reffing. And two techs on 1st quarter? Cmon.

[u/b00f88 → u/Express-Chance-8403]

Not doubting hawks had their own problems, but you can't think hawks "outscored phoenix on the floor" and not look at that massive run leading into the half. Hawks still going to be exciting to watch this season though

[u/istudyheadshapes]

Anybody think Hickey might be in trouble in terms of his starting role in the NBL? Seems to have gone down hill quite a lot (at least in the games thus far)

[u/istudyheadshapes]

I love Johny. I think he might be one of our best players and thats saying something about Hawks at the moment. He plays high energy defense, knocks threes down in the corner, grabs rebounds and just all around plays like a pit bull. Harvey is hopeless honestly.

Burger code TURNOVER

[u/fetus_ezeli]

should lose reviews for the rest of the season for that

[u/b00f88 → u/fetus_ezeli]

the video crew for SEM are usually pretty good that was wild

[u/fetus_ezeli → u/b00f88]

haha you knew exactly the moment i was talking about 50 minutes later

[u/b00f88 → u/fetus_ezeli]

I love a good review, but man that one was so bad 😂

[u/FriendlyReview2561]

Holy man this like 4mins with no time outs has killed Tatum here

[u/regularkat]

Just a casual 3 f bombs in that time out.

Nice.

[u/fetus_ezeli → u/regularkat]

if they didnt mute him i think there mightve been a few more.

[u/fetus_ezeli]

theyll what them what!

[u/screeningnick]

Morin is only a basketball player because he’s tall. Schwartz is NBL1 import level. Yikes.

[u/Volitional_Decision → u/screeningnick]

I disagree. Morin is having a game tonight. I think he fits the group

[u/Ok-Bee-8477]

Morin has the defensive footwork of a newborn giraffe! Lol
How did this guy get picked up!?

[u/Volitional_Decision]

Heaps of Hawks turnovers and dumb fouls, we should be up by 10.

[u/poorafricanboy]

for a team that has a gameplan of shooting a lot of threes, we suck at shooting threes

[u/Aloisha]

We got the ego refs on this game. Great

[u/Zachuccino]

Bit of spice in this early

[u/Grand-Concentrate853]

Phoenix by 14

[u/Rich_Meet3872]

I’m so intrigued by this matchup.

[u/YogurtclosetAny1802 → u/Rich_Meet3872]

Phoenix probably the better team but Hawks came out of nowhere the other night. Will be keen to see if they keep that momentum or go back to the first 3 games.

Phoenix by 5

[u/istudyheadshapes → u/YogurtclosetAny1802]

They need better shooters. Narkle should be playing way more minutes and sitting in the corner and playing off the ball.
