Lamar Patterson is a liability out there.
And the way they are talking about Giddey it’s as if he’s already got 30 points and 20 assists....

Is Patterson meant to be any good? I thought the comms said he has played in the league before

He was top 3 players in the NBL last season playing for the Bullets.

He's been spending too much time at the pie cart it would appear. Does he always look that out of shape?

@ACT-Crusader Luckily we get to hear NZ commentators from the studio. I doubt I could last listening to the Aussie guys.

He started the last couple of seasons for the Bullets big and then dropped weight during the season. He’s used his size to great effect in previous seasons but he does look bigger.

We get to hear basketball commentated like it’s an AFL game.

Patterson killed the Breakers every time they played the Bullets.
I was talking with a former NBL player after our first game about Lamar and he immediately said “Lamar would’ve got that foul call at the end of the game if he had a Bullets uniform on”
Not surprised

NZB bench is full of scrubs. I suppose the imports are out of shape after just leaving quarantine? They knew when the season started so why did the club not make sure the players were over in time? Patterson just looks fat
Patterson was playing in Puerto Rico. His team lost in the final on Dec 18 so he probably went back to the US before coming to Aust and doing his quarantine. On one hand you could say he should be in better shape as he was playing only a month ago but because this level of pro tends to play all around the world to earn a living sometimes seasons blend into each other.
Now the Breakers have 2 games in Perth, and you know they'll get nothing from the refs there. A tough start to the season with every game an away game.

god we suck. absolutely hosed by the Hawks last night. Goorjian has them humming. They have good imports (and their next star who is already on the books of Golden State), they are fit, and they work fucking hard. Guys all over who can shoot too (their 2nd half shooting from 3 was incredible).
Machado is trying too hard because he's surrounded by dross, and you can see only really trusts Oliver. And why not, when Cam Oliver is playing at MVP level at the moment, he's doing it all, shooting, dunking, rebounding, blocks, i'm very impressed.
The rest of the squad is fucked.
well, last season was a nice interlude in the usual life of a Taipans supporter.

Hawks looking good at both ends. I think they have the better of the Froling brothers, well the more workmanlike, not read his own press brother.
The backcourt complement each other, defensive ace in Justin Simon, a couple of good pieces with the two Sudanese boys, then Ogilvy and Naar to be good role players.

Perth blow a go ahead win layup at the end. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer team....
Phoenix win in Perth.
-
So the Breakers v Perth game was postponed because of 1 case. No it wasn’t a player or a coach or even a fan....
United beat Phoenix, but Scotty Hopson is in a massive form funk. Looks out of place and like he doesn’t know his role. On the other end of the scale is Shea. He’s playing the house down.

Covid changes continue
We were supposed to host Brisbane on Saturday, and the Breakers on Monday
That's now the Breakers on Saturday, and TBC for Monday
