@CC_TheDem236 Wow okay, I'll have my eyes on him during the Blitz and into the season. That backup big spot will be huge in the context of Tassies season, in the non Bannan/Magnay minutes.

Where do you think the Breakers will finish this season?

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

I think Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and South East Melbourne are all better. I have them in a similar range with Brisbane, Perth (PG dependent), and Illawarra.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

Not sure how to feel about Tassie this year. I think Taran will be incredible for them, but you can't count on Magnay's availability and with a lot of the team's around them making major improvements, I don't quite see the vision of a top 3 finish.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@TraversHoops I thought the same thing when they signed him. Watched him all year at Arizona and the shooting numbers don't tell the full story of the caliber of shooter he really is. Capable ball handler too, wouldn't surprise me if he's starting by the end of the season.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@Walshly_News Definitely, and Arnas has already spoken about the connection between them both in practice. Can't wait to see Brisbane back competitive again this year.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@TrystanSpooner @mikeoniron Not going to happen unfortunately. He will almost certainly be back on an NBA roster once a few more dominos fall in free agency.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@mikeoniron Would have loved Tyson Walker for this team if he was still available. Great defensively and a solid table setter, would've been a really nice fit around Doolittle, Windler, and JLA.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

Melbourne United lead SEM Phoenix 43-41 at the half

- Travers looking real comfortable running the offense
- Oduro on the roll will be crucial this season
- Glover with 12 pts, got hot at the end of the first half

Eyes will be on Dash in this second half to see what he can do.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

Cole Anthony looking engaged and passionate after every bucket by United. Seems as though he is really bought in to the culture and team, through his interviews and body language so far tonight.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

Who are you most excited to watch today in the Wildcats vs Taipans preseason game?

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@ThomasBuckets78 Is that also why you said that your discouraged by him?

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@ThomasBuckets78 Would you give someone the keys to your franchise if they could easily be forced into automatic turnovers?

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@ThomasBuckets78 Quite literally exactly my point. I was saying that he didn't need to, you said he would be forced into automatic turnovers, but now he should get the keys to the franchise.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@ThomasBuckets78 But I guess I have "no idea what I'm talking about"

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@ThomasBuckets78 Oh brother, from "Gobert is way way way way better putting the ball on the floor than Maluach is right now. Not even in the same universe" to "keys to the franchise" in a couple days? You said he defenses would be able to easily force him into automatic turnovers as well.

[NBL Pulse @nblpulse]

@3hereskll @krystenpeek Just my opinion man
