<p>CJ said all the right things but you could see he was pissed. He's gonna use the snub as fuel to rip Melbourne a new one at Vector</p>

<p>To be fair both Lisch and Randle have had very good seasons. Not a lot of love for the Breakers at all, and neither team below has a traditional starting five.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>All-NBL First Team</strong></p>
<p>Jerome Randle (Adelaide 36ers)</p>
<p>Kevin Lisch (Illawarra Hawks)</p>
<p>Chris Goulding (Melbourne United)</p>
<p>Daniel Kickert (Melbourne United)</p>
<p>AJ Ogilvy (Illawarra Hawks)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>All-NBL Second Team</strong></p>
<p>Stephen Holt (Melbourne United)</p>
<p>Corey Webster (NZ Breakers)</p>
<p>Kirk Penney (Illawarra Hawks)</p>
<p>Matt Knight (Perth Wildcats)</p>
<p>Daniel Johnson (Adelaide 36ers)</p> -
<p>The Wildcats have one foot in the final after beating the Hawks. Lisch went off early with an ankle injury and has been ruled out of game 2. A big loss to lose the MVP. If the Breakers win tonight they would prefer to play Perth based on the season series.</p>

<p>I've loved watching the Hawks this season and Penny is probably my favourite player, but I would prefer we played the Wildcats. We match up better with them. When the Hawks go with their 3 guard lineup we haven't had an answer. Our bigs can play against the Perth bigs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Devastating for Lisch, but I wouldn't count them out of an emotional win at the 'Gong. It's a tough place to play for opposition teams. </p> -
Just got back from screaming my lungs off at vector. Not sure it's ideal for CF jnr to see me like that but a great win all the same with the three aforementioned players stepping up when needed. Looks like another Perth Breakers finals. Just as long as that asshole Damien Martin doesn't win

<p>Expanding on my comment above, the Breakers have now won 11 consecutive playoff games and 9 post-season series in a row.</p>

<p>Game one in Perth will hold no fears for them</p> -
Wildcats hold off the NZB to win game 1 on the back of a MOTM performance by Nate Jawai. I felt we would go on to win after hitting the lead early in the fourth quarter. But in reality it was a sub par performance with a lack of offensive production from most of the key players. Jawai has a bad back so assuming he flies to Auckland for the game on Friday I'd say he's shot his bolt for the series. Corey and Tom shot terribly, we were sloppy in possession and Perth just wanted it more. I expect an improved performance in game 2 to force a decider on Sunday

<p>a succession of fucking stupid fouls didn't help either, especially at times the Breakers were gaining momentum. </p>

<p>It was there for the taking, we only have ourselves to blame</p> -
Man what a game tonight. Wasn't a classic in terms of the quality but it was intense watching it. <br><br>
Couple of massive 3s from Abercrombie and Webster at the death. Again we did some dumb stuff to let them back in but Perth are a tough team to shake. <br><br>
All on for game 3.
