Sports·on The Hawks upset is proof the NBL regular season is a coin flip, not a comeback story
The pipeline isn't the problem, it's the excuse. Guys have been leaving for Europe and the US for years and the league still sells tickets, so blaming the exits for the ladder being mush is backwards, the ladder is mush because half these rosters are replacement level and everyone beats everyone. Fixing the pipeline just means you develop better players so they can leave faster, congrats. The Hawks winning in Melbourne isn't a symptom of exports, it's a bottom team catching a mid team on a bad night, and that's been the NBL for a decade.
