This is basically a repost of the rules in the NBL forum.
Because common sense is, paradoxically, not particularly common, let's define some rules, shall we?
1. ONE GAME, ONE THREAD.
2. PLEASE GIVE THREADS DESCRIPTIVE TITLES. "31/7 New Zealand v Brazil" is a really good title. "Tonight's game" is not.
3. DON'T COMPLAIN IF THERE ARE SPOILERS. People are going to be watching games live; if you don't want to know the score, don't read the thread.
4. DON'T POST THE RESULT IN THE TITLE. If you want people to obey rule #3, you need to obey rule #4. Titles like "Australia beats Japan" are bad, "21/8 AUS v JPN" is good.
5. POST-GAME INCIDENTS CAN HAVE THEIR OWN THREAD. Suspensions, injuries etc, especially once the NBL season starts, are important enough to get their own thread. If there's something major (bench-clearing brawl, anyone?) feel free to start a "31/7 NZL v BRA: Post-Game Fallout" thread or something.
