NBL: Breakers and stuff
-
Breakers cut Rice.
He was easily their best player on Friday, so that might be an issue going forward.
-
The Breakers enjoy their home cooking.
They played more like a team last night vs Brisbane and shared the ball, even without Hampton. From what I read that was a criticism against your lot when Rice dominated the ball and the other 4 players stood there watching him.
The Breakers will need to make the most of their home games as they look a different team on the road.
-
Fuck Jarrod Kenny
That is all
-
Scotty machado is the best player to ever play for the Taipans.
Cam Oliver is even more exciting than my man crush Torey Craig
So it's going to suck when they are playing for someone else next year
-
LaMelo Ball is donating one month of his salary to the bushfire appeal
-
Good game! Breakers were bloody good, and with 5 to go I thought they would get the chocolates. But we got a couple of stops and Machado did his thing.
Breakers with an interesting defense where they went hard on the perimeter, then when we cut to the rim they just flooded the paint. Nearly worked, our 3 point percentage was dogshit, they got a few blocks, but gave up a shitload of fouls. They marked Machado hard all night, but he still scored truckloads (MVP!!)
Fuck you Rob Loe. I watched you jack up shit 3 after shit 3 last year, to see you dropping them tonight sucked. So it was great you gave up the two blatant and crucial fouls.
-
LaMelo Ball being shut down for the year. He's recovered from his foot injury, but it would take the rest of the regular season to get him fit enough to play, and the Hawks are not playing finals.
Great to see he truly embraced his time in Australia, and bought a racehorse

An under-strength Breakers beat the Kings in New Plymouth. They are hanging in there but will need to win out to make the playoffs.
And will probably need a few other results to go our way too.
Taipans bearing Adelaide helped. Need Bullets to lose and the Melbourne teams.
-
I was worried about Adelaide last night but we torched them. We had the scrubs on with 3.5 minutes to go.
Race for 3rd and 4th is going to be tight.

I’d say the Taipans are safe now. Into 3rd spot and next 3 games are Phoenix, Hawks and 36ers.

Hawks have been our bogey team forever
I think we are the only club who would be happy to get Perth

I have a horrible feeling that Perth is going to win the title...again.

I hate them. And I hate Gleeson. Fuck Perth.
-
When the inevitable happens, and Scott Machado is poached by Melbourne, it might be enough to break me, and I won't renew my Taipans membership.
I get the feeling this team is about to get plundered.
-
@mariner4life yep can’t stand Perth and Gleeson is officially the biggest whinger in NBL history.
But they couldn’t do the Breakers a favour on Wednesday night by folding against United.
Good win from the boys tonight. The 3 ball was on and Abercrombie was rocking the cradle when Randle was trying to guard him.
-
@ACT-Crusader it was a big win. Massive score. Some good momentum from the Breakers and bullets as they aim for the 4
-
I only watched 30 min highlights of the Breakers game but that was a good win against a 36ers team they have usually struggled against.
It is still going to be tough for the Breakers to sneak into 4th spot. We need Melbourne to beat Brisbane today but that also puts United a win ahead of the Breakers with the bottom 2 teams to play. The Breakers have to beat the Hawks and then Brisbane on the road, and then see where the cards fall. Brisbane does have the hardest games to play.

We really needed Perth to beat United, so it became a race between us and Brisbane.
