@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.

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

Former Boomers coach and three-time NBL title winner Andrej Lemanis will leave his post at Brisbane at the end of the season to coach in Japan.
Lemanis, who coached the Boomers for seven years and won three NBL crowns with the New Zealand Breakers, announced on Wednesday the 2021 season would be his last after five years at the Bullets.
Lemanis hasn't had the success at the Bullets he would have been hoping for.

put a fucking Broom through the Taipans, they are shit. Just a fucked roster that obviously struck gold at the same time last year. Because those same players are straight trash now
And with Cam Oliver averaging double digits in the NBA already, he ain't coming back.
Burn the joint down, start again. Keep Machado and Dufelmier and shoot literally everybody else.

@mariner4life as a rookie 18yo, Mohave King has shown something. He has the same problem as a lot of kids do these days though, it’s either a 3 or a dunk. No mid-range game which is a shame.
I could convince my mate Aaron Grabau to come out of retirement 😎

At least Grabau would play defense
King drifts out of games far too often, and his shooting is actually pretty poor most nights. Just a kid though, so willing to cut some slack
