    @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.

    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.

    Final score was 110-84 to OKC. 72 pts in the paint for the Thunder from their superior size and athleticism.

    @Bovidae least we won the 2nd half 48-49...

    Just dominated in the paint and they kept pounding it in.

    Yep, despite what their commentator said in the post-game wrap-up.

    Some home cooking for the Kings tonight with a few crucial calls going their way. Good first hit out for our guys.

    Hopson and C Webb played well providing plenty of scoring.

    Wasn't a bad game, and at various points I thought the Breakers would win it. Sydney are stacked, so very hard to beat when they are also getting all the calls

    Taipans go to Perth and flog them. I don't know how to prove it, but I reckon we would have the best record of anyone over there. We have some fun players to watch. We're very shallow though.
