@canefan and solid point guard play. Makes a huge difference when our two PGs are reliable with the ball and don’t play erratic.
Yup. This screen and roll play is killing it right now. Goes to show in this league old school 2 point basketball can win you lots of games. Amazing how much difference a decent coach makes
-
Six players in double figures and that doesn’t include Pardon and Le’afa! Great team effort and it’s great to back up a good road win with another a couple nights later.
-
that's another tidy win on the road. pretty even through most of the comp so far. Alarm bells in Brisbane, SE Melbourne and Illawarra already i would imagine though.
Breakers up here on Sunday
-
I'm sitting on a Qantas plane to Auckland, the poor Breakers just boarded economy with me. Bad enough at my 6'2, feel sorry for the tall timber!
-
Breakers go from Melb (Saturday game) to Illawarra (Monday game) then back to Auckland (Thursday game) and then Cairns (Sunday game)

be easier for them if they just based themselves in Australia...

A long time ago I was on a flight from Auckland to Melbourne the day after the Crocs played the Breakers. I had organised an exit row seat for myself and had Larry Abney sitting next to me. Their entire roster would have been taller than me, so they would have been cramped in the cheap seats.

Larry Abney
blast from the past. joined the team just as i was becoming a fan. Pretty sure he was a victim when we went completely broke and got bailed out by the community. Our team was basically what you would consider development players.
-
I saw the video analyst dude working on some footage mid-flight.
Leaned in and said "Hey bro. I didn't watch the game, but some dudes I know from the internet said to stop shooting so many 3's. You eggs."
Got a high 5
-
@Bovidae Abney was a gun. He was a 20-10 threat every night. I remember some good match ups between him and Carlos Powell. I saw Abney sitting on the sidelines of a Clippers summer league game

and a quick google says that's where he works now. Development coach/ops assistant

Breakers left their defence in Australia.
We’ve given up 38 in the first quarter.
-
That was ugly. The Phoenix couldn't miss.
-
@ACT-Crusader said in NBL 2022-23:
If we don’t stop shooting 3s all the time I’m a throw the remote…
GET THE BALL INSIDE YOU EGGS
Bump
-
It’s matador defence from the Breakers. Phoenix players getting it way too easy.
Surprise surprise Pardon touches in the key and we score.

Pardon responds with a simple but orgasmic post move
-
Breakers be stuuuuuupid. They get a fresh 24 and waste it on that shit
-
Le’afa is stinking the joint out. Couldn’t believe he shot that last floater when we had a 4 on 3.

Love Tommy V’s effort but that was dumb taking on Zhou Qi with that move.

Breakers by 5

Hahaha first possession after HT and we jack up a nothing 3. Not even a drive and kick one.

And then another and we don't get back 🙈
-
Finally he hits one.
-
Flood. Gates.
-
Keeping the powder dry for the Cairns game
-
Appalling offense. Static, no cohesion.
-
Shooting one foot floaters… 🤮
-
Let’s shoot another 28 footer. You eggs.
-
Ok, this is one of those games you just write off. Shut it down now.
-
WM-W is now missing bunny layups.

Hopefully it’s our Sydney Kings moment when they lost to United last season by 42 points but still went on to win the chip.

That'll work
-
Shit call (in our favour), that's not a charge
-
So with the Taipans going on a massive 22-0 run against United and get the comeback win in Melbourne, plus the Breakers getting spanked in Auckland - the road team wins continue.

yeah, i'm nervous about Sunday now!
We're 4-0 on the road (great considering we've been to Sydney and Melbourne twice) and 0-1 at home
No one ever used to win on the road in the NBL.
Great win last night. When we fouled that 3-pointer at the end i was furious. Thank fuck he missed the first.
-
@mariner4life it was a terrible foul at the end because the shot was already a tough one.
Love it when United lose. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t get a new import.

out loud, in front of the TV, my words were "don't foul don't foul don't foul FUCK!!! dickhead!"
-
Great crowd, poor quality game
Heaps of contact being allowed by the refs

@booboo said in NBL 2022-23:
Don't follow Bball all that much, but can someone confirm how the competition table works? Is the following correct, or is google playing with my head?
Looks like this is listed by least number of losses ... (edit: and then points diff ...)
I dont think that table is right.
It'll go off win % first (to equalise for teams playing different numbers of games)
Tiebreaks typically broken by points differential.
