    The great escape!

    Good solid overtime by the Tall Blacks, but man I still can’t get over those fouls on Hollis-Jefferson. So dumb.

    Is it being played on NZ TV?

    Edit: the internet says Duke

    Argghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Far out we missed a layup with seconds remaining to tie the game in the Asian Cup U16 Championship final against the Aussies.

    We ran the perfect play too.

    Sources: NZ sign NBA forward Anthony Lamb

    Anthony Lamb has signed with the New Zealand Breakers as an injury replacement, sources told ESPN.

    well, the NBA games didn't go well

    Taipans got beat by 60. Definitely not helped by both our bigs being ruled out before the game. At least we didn't let Cooks score all over us

    Then the Breakers, who i thought might do better with a bit more experience in the lineup, got beat by 40

    It doesn't look like the Breakers game was on ESPN in NZ.

    Looking at the box score, 6-38 from deep and 30% for FGs. Ouch! The guards threw up plenty of bricks.

    And the Taipans round out the tour by getting bet by the Raptors by 40. We ran out of players though, and had to draft in a replacement player for the day.
    Terrible tour, smacked twice, picked up injuries, destroyed any momentum we might have had after a couple of wins the other weekend

    And the Breakers lose by 20 to the Jazz. Take out the horror 1st Q they are competitive based on the Box Score.

    Is their forward from last season still on the Jazz roster?

    Watching the NZB for the first time this season, vs Melbourne. We started slow but hit the lead at the end of the half. It's early in the 3rd, but we look fast and athletic. The new import PG looks like an upgrade from Brown and Cheatham looks very aggressive

    Jackson-Cartright is lightning quick, it looks like McDowell-White has some quality help this year. Regardless of the final result, these two teams look like they will be there at the business end of the season, barring injuries

    Washington cut Xavier Cooks.

    I would imagine a couple of the richer struggling clubs will be sniffing around. Okay Perth, i mean Perth.

    But Sydney may not be totally happy with their roster yet either

    It was always a bit of a head scratcher to me that he got that contract in the first place. Just too one dimensional for the NBA. He's got hops but no reliable jump shot, not exactly a lock down defender

    Hawks sack their midget coach

    I for one will miss him prowling the sideline with imaginary lat syndrome in full effect

    A good and first road win for the Breakers over Tassie but they can't catch a break with injuries. WMW had only just returned from his broken finger and now this:
