    @Wurzel I think it was two years left! These new owners dont mess about aye. Poor performance and you get the axe. Boucher is always good value and savvy when I hear him talk. Seems they are doing a good job on recruitment.

    The Breakers roster is complete. Now we wait to see what impact Shamir has.

    you can have Rob Loe, i got reeeeaaallll sick of watching him jack up brick after brick last season. A massive bust.

    The Taipans do not yet have a team. We are two spots light. The players we do have are very underwhelming. One of our recruits turned up, took a look around, and promptly retired.

    I look forward to Melo torching us for 40 when he comes up, that won't hurt at all.

    You may be looking at the first death throws of the Taipans (not that head office will give a shit)

    @mariner4life Loe is a stretch forward so that is his role. His 3pt % at the Taipans was a little lower (31 vs 35%) than the 2 previous seasons at the NZB.

    It appears all 3 centres on the Breakers offer something different.

    wait, he hit 30% last year? Fucking not at home he didn't.

    Looking at the Melbourne Utd roster they have 3 ex-Breakers and your best player. The ultimate poachers.

    They might have to wear name tags at first trainings

    Dylan Boucher has quit as Breakers GM. Not a surprise

    Good effort against the Grizzlies today.

    I watched the livestream. The Breakers started off cold from outside but had a great 3rd Q to get within 6 pts. A respectable performance with Webster being the best of them. A tough first outing for Hampton.

    I saw La Melo Ball break some guy's ankles in a preseason game a couple of days ago.

    The kid looks to have mad skills, the same can't be said for the guy who missed the dunk off La Melo's dish!!

    @canefan in the first proper game he got the same defender twice in the one game.

    Has his head screwed on by the sounds of it as well.

    First half was pretty lacklustre overall.

    RJ was trying way too hard.

    Can't read too much into a day when both Steven Adams and Ben Simmons made a 3

    Haha. I saw those. Ben the $170m shooter.

    I wonder if Steve’s new found range will spill over to the regular season. He’s yet to attempt one in his career.

    That was Adams' and OKC's first shot of the game. Padding his stats now he is shooting 100% from behind the arc.

    OKC has a big lead at HT: 62-35

    The Breakers have had plenty of open looks but the shots aren't falling. Getting killed on transition too.
