    He said he could still see out of it when it was rolling over his face too.

    Oh chur. Maori fibre optics.

    Was watching it when it happened and I couldn't even watch the rest of the game. My 11 yo daughter who is a mad Breakers fan was watching with me and couldn't believe it. She could barely sleep that night. I had to keep reassuring her that he was going to be okay.

    @ACT-Crusader at the Bullets game last night, every time someone hit the court (Tory Craig mainly) my 5 year old asked if his eye had fallen out.

    I can't believe how quickly he recovered afterwards

    @mariner4life that was a decent game last night. Cairns have all the tools to take Adelaide. They have good depth and the new import will keep getting better.

    yea, Mitchell is a huge pick up for us. He is still lost at times while he learns the plays, but he doesn't mind taking it on himself, and his passing is phenomenal. Trice can score heavily if allowed, and that's something we haven't had for a while.

    Still, last night a pretty ordinary Bullets side was close for a long time, and Fearne's game management still worries me. And we over-do the whole Jawai thing. We look better when Egwu plays.

    Thursday was a much better win.

    I'm not holding my breath. We've got the Hawks, and Adelaide twice i think.

    Finals! Cheers Breakers and wildcats.

    Looks like the 3 smallest budgets are going to play finals this year

    Watched the Breakers game last night. Finn Delany!! A big game from the Chief as well who was epecially aggressive in the 1st Q. That Melbourne team is stacked as Wesley is buried deep on their bench. The Breakers did well without either of their PFs.

    Now we need Melbourne to beat Perth in the last game. Your lot upsetting the 36ers might help too.

    While that would be ideal, it's a big ask down there

    @mariner4life That result made no difference to the Breakers in the end as the Hawks also won.

    The Breakers fate rests on Melbourne beating Perth at home today. Otherwise those fuckers from the West are in the playoffs AGAIN. I hope Goulding has a huge game.

    Goulding got 21 pts I see - 3 pts too little.

    I'll say again, anyone but Perth. Perhaps the Taipans can finally win a title eh @mariner4life ?

    @Bovidae it's pretty open i reckon. You still think it's Adelaide's to lose, but they would be worried about their form.

    We've got Perth who are really good at finals so getting through this series will be an achievement

    Never cheered for United ever and given Perth and United are my two hatiest teams it wasn't easy. It showed everything wrong with Dean D's coaching last night - all the standing around, going away from high pick with Ware. Just dumb.

    Breakers dropped a number of games they never should have this season so not too disappointed. Was good to see us finish the season with some good wins. It was NZ Warrior-esque...

    Considering the plethora of injuries the squad sustained this season and the loss of C Web it was a miracle that the Breakers almost squeezed in to the playoffs at all

    @canefan I'd agree. Henare had to juggle his starting five all season due to long-term injuries. Abercrombie was out for a decent stretch too, and then both Mika and Mitchell at the end. Delany and Illi have come on this year and maybe Dillard is the PG they need going forward. There is the nucleus of a good competitive team for 2018.
