Watching Izayah Mauriohohoo-Leafa absolutely kill it has been pretty cool this season.
Yeah I’ve been to a number of Phoenix games this season and he plays hard on D, doesn’t try to do too much on offence but takes the shot when it’s there.

@act-crusader A good result after the heartbreak of the OT loss last week.
@raznomore We all hate Perth.

It’s a huge result and the boys are getting to go home to NZ.
Being down double figures in Perth and then going on a huge run to get back in it is damn hard.
The crowd (and refs) against you. It’s feral over there.

i fucking hate Perth
As if the Taipans season doesn't suck enough, Cam Oliver has to go home because his wife is having pregnancy problems. Easily our MVP, and as good as anyone in the comp. Shane Heal can fuck up with his constant "he just doesn't look interested" as he sticks up another double-double with a handful of blocks for good measure.

@mariner4life Oliver has been playing the house down and the more Mike Kelly plays him and Nate together, good things will happen.
Heal still thinks it’s 1993 and everyone that isn’t out there looking to chest bump their opponent, doesn’t “look interested”.

Heal is a fucking idiot.
Oliver and Nate together last week against Adelaide was scary good. i've never seen Nate play that well in terms of assists. The standard defense on Jawai is to double team as soon as he gets the ball, last week he was taking that double team and dishing to Cam for another big dunk.
People like to say Cairns is an import short. I don't think that's the case. What we really need is a high quality Australian player. We don't get many of those. Martin Cattalini might be the last big name transfer we attracted.

@mariner4life it’s a shame you couldn’t get Blanchfield. Good reliable shooter to play off Oliver and Scotty. Added that mid-range game too. He’s a Qld boy too.

Last 5 years he’s been at United, Kings, Hawks and now Perth.

The Franklin District where I grew up has now got a basketball franchise in the NZ NBL. They had their first home game last night. The current coach and some other guys have put in some hard work to get where they are. They broke away from the Counties Manukau association which was very Manukau/South Auckland centric. I might go to my first pro basketball game the next time I am up visiting my mum.

I didn't know that. What are they called and where are they based?

Man that was a sweet win against the Wildcats.
We had the Webster bros coming off the bench and whilst they didn’t score big they made some crucial plays. Tai with a big time block on Cotton was nice.
Randolph came up clutch and hit the go ahead basket with 0.5 seconds remaining.
There’s nothing sweeter in sport than the Breakers beating the Wildcats.

this season just doesn't fucking end.
Already 26 games in. And there is still a month to go.
Having every team play in Melbourne for a month killed the whole comp in my opinion. It's just a write off of a season, with the constant changes to the schedule, Cairns played like 7 games at home in 3 weeks, then disappeared for 6 weeks. The Breakers have barely been home. It's a bit shit.
Just hurry up and have Perth beat Melbourne in the GF.

Yeah it's been shit and I haven't had the enthusiasm to watch many games Breakers games live.

The Breakers haven't been in NZ since before Christmas. First they were meant to play in Melbourne, then it was Hobart and now their "home" games are in Launceston. While they are scheduled to have 7 games in 17 days back in NZ later this month it probably won't matter unless they win out.

Just bought tickets to see them when they get home. They deserve some good home crowds
