@Stinga3 @aussiehoopla Just to the left of Jimmy Butler.

@NBL @BrisbaneBullets @CairnsTaipans Geez, this is a new low.

David Stiff at 25 seconds is the most audacious move ever executed in pro hoops.

You may be old, but are you this old? ⏳

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@Adelaide36ers What about former and current 36ers Jack McVeigh and Sunday Dech?

@NBL_News Those shorts look like they originally had pockets before someone told Asics they’re not allowed in basketball shorts.

@NbaStraya Bogut, Gaze, Delly, Andersen, Neilson

[Jenny Fischer @jennylynnfisch]

My stream of consciousness:

:01 Turn left, look alive
:02 Get JT side profile or you’ll lose it
:07 Back pedal, keep sight of Bron
:08/:11 Zoom on cues
:13 Okay Steph turned, turn cam next (head swiveled at :12)
:15 Hug Bron’s right side (he pivots left)

@NbaStraya Looks like they’re using magic to put it on the US feed Pissweak.

@Adelaide36ers There’s not a single Spalding product that has a 50% discount and some Spalding products have no discount 🤷‍♂️

@HoopsRandom That first DMac one was filthy!

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP The wind still blows at night, batteries are getting bigger and better, we don’t actually use much power while everyone’s asleep. The boffins are well aware that the sun doesn’t shine at nigh and are still confident we can be 100% renewables by 2027 in SA.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP It’s worth adding The Big Switch by Saul Griffith to your “to read” list, he’s a fair bit more eloquent than I am with this stuff!

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP Big battery has been a huge success, paid for itself in under 2 yrs. We’ve got 4 now in SA which can supply full power for 4 hours or half power for 8. Makes no sense to burn 10-15 years and billions of dollars on a nuclear plant when we’re already so close to 100% renewables.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP Battery tech is still rapidly improving, by the time a nuclear power station is built it will already be obsolete. We would still need to dig up the uranium which is more expensive than wind and sun.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP Any number of solution, different “batteries” be it hydro, a hot water system that heats siring off peak, home wall batteries, large scale batteries, and as electric cars continue to gain traction there is huge potential in vehicle to grid technology.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP We’ve also got heaps of sun, wind and land - makes no sense to go down the nuclear route here given the renewable superpower advantages we have. I’ve got no problem with nuclear, just doesn’t make financial sense here.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@scottbobberry @PMalinauskasMP Lol, how long do you think it takes to get a nuclear power station operational? Not by 2027, maybe not even by 2037.

[Simon Bills @simonbills]

@HoopsRandom @JohnCasey2880 @johnrillie @SteveWoodberry I'm still cross about this, no way you can catch, dribble and shoot in 0.2 seconds, not too late for the @NBL to reverse the result of this one.

@Julian_OBrien Jerry Dennard sold me a pair of Nikes from Rowe and Jarman sports store when I was a kid and he was playing for the 36ers. I guess some players had other jobs in the 90s.
