    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.

    @mariner4life what a win! DJ Newbill was fired up. Deng is a tough match up for any team with his length and skill. Oliver came to play.

    Cairns have 6-7 very good players and then it gets a bit scratchy after that. But if 4 of those 6-7 get 18+ every game, which they are a very capable of, you will be in every game.

    A good 1st half by the Breakers against the Hawks shooting over 50% FG and 3 pt shots. Let's hope they don't go cold in the 2nd half again.

    Loe went to hospital with a suspected fractured skull.

    A 103-72 win to the Breakers. They could have done with some of those points against the Kings.

    Yeah the Taipans! Now we've knocked over Melbourne.

    Fun night at the basketball, plenty of fire.

    I like this Taipans team. Heaps of talent, can score, and I saw a lot of fire in defense tonight.

    Machado is an upgrade on Trimble. Oliver might be our most talented player since Craig. He's also built like a blindside.

    Injury ravaged Breakers get a win against the Taipans. That RJ Barrett is some player

    RJ Hampton. His long-range shooting looked much better than in the earlier games. The Breakers can't continue to play with such an undersized team and expect to win.

    We played okay last night, but it showed that we are missing Finn.

    When we had a big lead and Cairns started to make a run, that’s when you would bring on Finn to lift the energy and intensity. We looked so flat during that.

    I’m not sure how long Loe is out for?

    As for RJ, there needs to be periods in the game where he plays off the ball, so he can catch and shoot.
