New Orleans Pelicans vs South East Melbourne Phoenix - Full Highlights

New Orleans Pelicans vs South East Melbourne Phoenix – Full Highlights | Oct 4, 2025 NBA Preseason

go for this one. And the Phoenix, well, we haven’t seen Southeast Melbourne play since last Thursday when they took on Melbourne in the cross town throwdown and they were very disappointing in that performance. So, a chance for them to bounce back as well. Brian Forte, Jason Goldenberg, Bradley Adair, our three men in charge as well for the NBA series. Well, that’s the NBA rule in play right there. Jordy from the three-point line. He’d be anxious as well. He’s another one that has NBA aspirations to just a young man. But one thing we haven’t actually talked about with this used to, you know, the more sweat on your hands, the better it feels. So early on in the game, it’s a bit of a different feel. But I guess this is different to what we’ve seen in the first two games. They they’re much more retreated, not picking up. And wow, they might need to have a look at some weak side help. Melbourne series, a sellout once again at Rod Lab Arena. Pull catch and shoot. It’s good. Yeah, flat looking jumper from Gorge Gaku checks into the game. Looney in transition that to themselves a little bit. They’ve been so busy enjoying the night life most nights as well. So, you know, it’s a credit to what Melbourne’s doing. Certainly looking higher than what it was Friday. Couldn’t connect that time. Great ball movement. Felix Glover with a wideopen look. Gak with the offensive rebound. This is better out of the timeout. That’s it. I mean, I’d like to see a little bit more ball movement. They just got a wide open three from some ball movement. Those ones are going to look a lot better on Arena. [Music] He just puts the ball on the floor. Nice handles. He’s going to keep getting his shots up. Reminds me of someone we know. But Paul, the crossover, nice take and the finish. be entertaining to see that live. Hang on to your hats. Could be a fun second quarter. Sadique Bay has knocked down a second looking exactly the way that they would like right now. Yeah. I mean, this man here has it going. That’s three. Short. As we saw on Friday night, the Pelicans are looking to get into their offense quickly and attack. Find a way to take this pace out of the game, Phoenix, because it’s right in New Orleans’s sweet spot at the moment. The youngster against the shot clock. Nice finish. They’ve already put up 10. Foster for a catchier. There we go. Clean up the defense a bit here. First time we’re seeing a catchier in a Southeast Melbourne Phoenix jersey. Hasn’t played the first couple of games because of personal reasons. The it’s high pressure in this game. I actually thought they would come out and be like, you know, cool breeze. Look, it’s this has this has energy of a regular season game, right? A lot of the game now is a lot of switching, a lot of, you know, getting out of position and position. This is what they trying to move to. So, it is. Yeah. Fitness and being mobile is extremely important. Yeah. Crosscourt on. We want Jordan and I warm up with sunglasses on. Is is that something you would do? I would definitely not uh wear sunglasses and warm up, nor would my team had an issue with our man Andrew Gays who kept touching you. Very tactile. Are you okay with being touched? So energy is real. Thank you. Me and Gayy, we know each other. Back in 2000. That was Vince. That was not me. That was You were You were provoking him. You You would never provoke, would you? You You weren’t. Yeah, man. I always say anything when it’s one more than the Lakers is anything. You know what I’m saying? Anything better than one of the Lakers is any is great. You know, have you seen him? He He looks like he’s he’s he’s ahead of schedule. He’s on the court. He’s doing Yeah. You saw how he looked coming along. Really? Modern medicine, man. Modern. Look at LeBron. LeBron’s down there 50 playing still. Oh, man. That’s incredible. Wow. He’s up to his mindset was locked in during his workout. We’ve learned from that by watching. That’s huge. That’s huge. I think you need veterans. Veterans are able to different areas of the big and you know he sees and understands the game differently than what he was given credit for throughout points of his career. From Hunter to Maldonado in the Phoenix learning and understanding and growing. You know, they a lot of a lot of players watch film and say they watch film, but man, there’s access to these people instead of just picking up. Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m sure I could adjust to it if we started to play it more constantly. Yeah. Plays through the coach. Nice finish for the next stop. That was tough. That was tough. So, I wanted to say uh earlier about uh Jordan P. If you don’t know Jordan P, uh is his nickname. Nice job, by the way. Yes. unsuccessful long rebound Lewis who we got. There’s that ball movement you were talking about K ball. So the problem is the 48 minutes. Can they keep that up? So this kid right here is decent, too. I like here we go. Here we go. They’re picking it up with the speed. Oh, that’s exactly what I wanted to see earlier, but just a little movement. We We got our own We got our own Minnesota Timberwolf now. Rocco. Big Rocco is out there. Oh, really? So, okay. That one’s going to be a 51 team there. He’s out there with a catcher. Daniel Fost, Owen Foxwell, and Malik Lewis. So, small lineup out here for the Phoenix right now, which means they had a time living in Melbourne every year. Yeah. Well, he Wow. Look at Williamson behind the back. The nearly got taken out. A couple of Very nice youngsters come through the Oklahoma system in the last few years. Blake Griffin, Trey Young as well. So rips baseline. Pelicans really getting this ball to hum. Shot clock at four. Sadique Bay with another deep strike. One of the hardest rollers in Australian basketball. Jordy Hunter Peace three. That’s the bottom of the net and they are yeah you you might get exposed but just try and do a better job of running him off the three-point line and that might happen. Plays like that might happen to win that. Rebound taken care of by Sadiq Bay. He’s got a full head of steam. Gets that to drop. Andrew Lopez, but a lot of positives that the Pelicans can take away from this weekend. BC being one of them and the work they do before a game. It’s a full-on workout. It’s not just a regular warmed up. Look out and the passes pregame times. They they split it up. There’s a long period, but in your moments, you’re working on your game shots. Miy comes down the lane with another bit of thunder. John Brown brings the ball up the floor. All hands on deck to get these rebounds and it pays off quicker. You just get forced to play quicker and can make it a bit tougher. Oh, hello. [Applause] Foster off the handoff. Spent five years of college at Nevada. Familiar to a lot of our international viewers. His attention to detail. He was not happy with the defensive transition. Happy for the Phoenix today. Again, would have loved to see Malik shoot that last one. I know we been a quick shot, but they they got the penetration. Moff shot the ball well. In fact, it’s tapered though. They started off in blistering for almost safety. So checks from the three-point line. They’re 11 and 31. No, this is a beautiful place to play today. Hope Josh gives him a longer look next game. [Music] [Applause] That counts. some some pundits, some media, a little bit down on the Pels, but this is still a team that won 49 games two seasons ago. You know about the injuries that happened a year ago. Zion, oh, that was nice. Yeah, straight up and off the floor. He’s been sitting for probably a couple of hours by now. And to come out and show that type of athleticism and even that last possession there, he gets another opportunity for are we going to guard this guy? because that that was my benefit in Boston was they would let me stand out there because they wanted to stop um Kyrie or Gordon or Rosier coming off down the lane and I was left wide open on the three-point line shoe with a nice take another of these young guys looking for opportunities with the Pels this season tough finish from Foster got a couple good finishes [Music] with the Pelicans in May Hunter Dickinson after going on draft Three Fox world brothers. They are they are hoop. There are three that I’m aware of. Joel now playing solid basketball to Melbourne. A genuine success. The New Orleans Pelicans come to Australia, play two games, and capture the hearts and the imagination of the nation. They win today 127 to 92.
