@ACT-Crusader I was surprised when I heard the result as this is more like a C team. Good to build some depth though.
-
The other semi-final had everything, even a bit of a scuffle after the game 😉
Lebanon beat Jordan by 1 point.
Lebanon will give Oz some trouble.
Jordan are tough and have gotten better as the tournament has progressed. We will have to play strong to beat them.
-
Wow, that was an up and down game. Smith-Milner on fire in the second half. Tall Blacks get the win and 3rd place. Doing one better than the last Asian Cup when we came 4th.
Jordan was lights out in the first half and got out to a good lead. But then Smith-Milner caught fire from 3.
We almost coughed it up after hitting the lead with some poor turnovers, but Jordan also did some dumb stuff.
Congrats to Pero and the team. Great tournament and the pleasing thing is that we lost two games all tournament against the two teams in the Grand Final.

The Breakers have signed an American import PF - Jarrell Brantley. He has NBA experience with the Jazz.

Good to get someone with pro experience. The kids preparing for the draft aren't good enough to help us compete

@Bovidae Brantley was the leading scorer for the Jazz G-league side a couple of seasons ago, so we will be able to go to him to get a bucket.
The roater looks pretty good. A few question marks are how much production out of Loe, the next stars are hit and miss, shooting.
-
I haven't seen any of the Breakers pre-season games but I don't think they have won many, if any. The clash with rugby for tomorrow's season opener in Melbourne doesn't help either. No Abercrombie for a couple of months due to his eye injury.

IMHO Tom has been a bit of a shadow of his former self for some time

We are playing well. United lead 69-67 at 3QT
Pardon, Loe, Brown Jnr, WMW are all playing well.
Defensively a massive step up from last season.

Much improved on the O end too. I'm loving the motion, lots of screening, rolling and cutting. Goulding is still a fluffybunny

Get stuffed that was a shot clock violation. Breakers screwed by refs.

Arggghhhhhhhh

Watched a replay of that Adelaide 36ers v Phoenix Suns game - lights out from the 36ers. Shot the 3 ball so well. Suns played their stars and the 36ers played decent D on them.
36ers have a very good squad with some size and shooters.
Good win from the 36ers.

Taipans go to last year's grand finalists and flog them. Significantly better start than we have had recently.
Though i seem to remember a year we went to Brisbane and won in R1 and then didn't win again for fucking ages.
-
@voodoo and some of those 3s that Randall and Franks hit were from the logo.
36ers play OKC and old teammate Josh Giddey next. Should be more fun.
