on the Snakes
No matter what happens in the play in (i expect to go out in straight sets) this has been a great season. We were almost unanimously tipped to get the spoon, so to be fighting for 2nd on the last weekend of the year is fucking great.
Forde is a good coach who has the guys buying in, and we play a fun style to watch. It would have been nice to have a couple of easy wins throughout the year, rather than a close shitfight no matter who we are playing, but it's been a good season at the Convention Centre. Crowds are up too, which is huge because we are poor.
If we can keep the important guys (i expect Pinder to get bought, and i think we can upgrade on Scott) and boost some others (ie Djeric and Deng and Antonio) with guys the coach can actually trust, then we don't have to drop back to the spoon next year (which is tradition after a good season).

fucking Hawks can't be trusted to do any fucking thing

@mariner4life So I have to hope that Perth wins tonight. I feel dirty.

nah we can win in Perth and you will still go 2nd if you beat Brisbane, which is pretty much a given

The Breakers came back from 16 pts down at HT to beat the Hawks 91-81. I'll have a watch a replay. Maor must have let rip at the HT break.
We looked rusty as. Turnovers and some pretty lack lustre defence had us on our heels in the first half.
Brantley was big as was Brown late in the game.
Le’Afa was playing excellent D on Tyler Harvey. But his offensive game looked a shadow of his early season form.
Loe will be a very important player for us in the playoffs. He’s in good form.

Abercrombie is scoring some points too, so we've got more balanced scoring.

Go the Bullets
Win in Perth with our scrubs getting huge minutes
There isn't a player in thr league who gets softer whistle than Bryce cotton.

pretty great season really. 2nd and 3rd was decided by OT of the final game for the team that finished 2nd.
Perth made the finals with literally the last play of the season.
Injuries are now the focus. Nearly everyone is banged up.

LoL. I missed the last game but thought I'd heard they beat Brisbane at the death.

Love that United missed out especially with it being so close. I pictured all those ferals that I’ve sat near at Hisense Arena watching and cheering for the Kings and then immediately feeling ripped off. Haha suck it.
Corey Webster is cooking. The fact that Cotton went 1/20 from the field and they still pulled off. There was a nice moment after the game where Cotton was hugging Corey and you could tell that Cotton knew Corey saved his backside.

I see Pinder won back-to-back MIP - that’s gotta be rare!
Was the MVP until he got injured at Christmas
