@mariner4life yep. 5 teams have winning records on the road (Kings, Breakers, Taipans, JJs, 36ers). Wildcats are 3-3 and then the other 4 teams (Phoenix, Hawks, United, Bullets) all have losing records on the road.
Only 3 teams have winning records at home, and it’s the top 3 teams on the table - Kings, Breakers and Phoenix.

Corey Webster is cooking. Hits a game winning 3 in his 250th NBL game.
United with a massive choke in the final 30-40 seconds. They were up 7. Shout out to Blanchfield who hit a huge 3 plus the foul. Perfect missed FT and offensive rebound and kick out to Corey.

Fuck Perth
-
Now that Gleeson is gone and one of my favourite NBL players (Rillie) is coaching and they have Manek and Webster, I’m less against them, ever so slightly….
I actually enjoy seeing United lose more than seeing Perth lose.
-
@ACT-Crusader well, yes, fuck Perth does not mean that also not fuck Melbourne.
My two hatiest teams easy. And it's not close.

The current Perth coach is also a crazy man. Tore a strip off his team after one posession against the Breakers, and was yelling and threatening the ref a bit later

@canefan that's all basketball coaches?
The midget coaching the Hawks is hilarious!

Yeah many. But he's going to give himself an aneurysm doing it like that. Even Modi has calmed down a lot

Rillie coaches with a bit of fire much like the way he played.
I guess it did the trick in that Breakers game because they pulled finger and then got the choccies. I’m personally not into that style, have played for one that was a bit too fiery for my liking, but most seem to have a happy medium with the odd outrage moment….
-
Brisbane suck and we should be hosing them, but in typical Taipans fashion we are not.
Baynes is a fucking unit though
-
If you want to see some bullshit fucking whistle look at what Perth is getting tonight
We're getting fucking stitched up on our own court!!
-
@mariner4life the Aussie refs always give the likes of Wagstaff and Norton the benefit of the doubt in charge calls and also allow all sorts of contact by Perth defenders. Been happening for years.

yeah, but it's not normally 25 fucking fouls to 9 halfway through the 4th quarter! they are normally more subtle
Cairns stage an enormous come back, get to within 4, and then bang! the fouls start and the game blows out again
it was fucking shameless. The two coaches challenges were bullshit as well.
The crowd were fucking ropable. i may have had a word or two.
-
Kings shooting a lazy 16 of 20 from 3 for a nice 80% tonight as they will beat the Phoenix.

@canefan Brown Jnr is a great scorer, but man he is prone to some bad play down in the clutch. That turnover where he just threw it into Cotton’s arms and then that quick fire 3 point shot when we needed to use clock we’re pretty dumb.
We needed that win after the last 3 losses.

It frustrates me when we are up by a decent amount and instead of going for high percentage 2s we take I'll advised 3s
-
I see that Tai Webster has joined Perth. The Breakers still owned his rights so the Wildcats would have to pay a transfer fee.
Certainly some dumb plays by the Breakers in the last minute. Ironically, the Breakers could have gotten an easy 2 pts late in the game but Brown Jr dribbled to use up some clock. The wrong option on both occasions.
-
very nice to see the Taipans go to Brisbane and smash them. Spicy game too, heaps of niggle, McCall got in Baynes' head in a big way.
Brisbane are shit, and that Nathan Sobey contract is looking worse and worse. Bloke is probably more hated than Chris Goulding because at least Melbourne fans love Goulding. Suck shit Nathan.
-
Barry Brown Jnr once again playing poorly in crunch time. He really tightens up and throws dumb passes or takes tough/poor shots.
We shouldn’t have lost that.
