    @mariner4life That result made no difference to the Breakers in the end as the Hawks also won.

    The Breakers fate rests on Melbourne beating Perth at home today. Otherwise those fuckers from the West are in the playoffs AGAIN. I hope Goulding has a huge game.

    Goulding got 21 pts I see - 3 pts too little.

    I'll say again, anyone but Perth. Perhaps the Taipans can finally win a title eh @mariner4life ?

    @Bovidae it's pretty open i reckon. You still think it's Adelaide's to lose, but they would be worried about their form.

    We've got Perth who are really good at finals so getting through this series will be an achievement

    Never cheered for United ever and given Perth and United are my two hatiest teams it wasn't easy. It showed everything wrong with Dean D's coaching last night - all the standing around, going away from high pick with Ware. Just dumb.

    Breakers dropped a number of games they never should have this season so not too disappointed. Was good to see us finish the season with some good wins. It was NZ Warrior-esque...

    Considering the plethora of injuries the squad sustained this season and the loss of C Web it was a miracle that the Breakers almost squeezed in to the playoffs at all

    @canefan I'd agree. Henare had to juggle his starting five all season due to long-term injuries. Abercrombie was out for a decent stretch too, and then both Mika and Mitchell at the end. Delany and Illi have come on this year and maybe Dillard is the PG they need going forward. There is the nucleus of a good competitive team for 2018.

    @mariner4life I see Tony Mitchell has been banned for the entire 2017-18 ANBL season for throwing the ball at a referee after the Taipans' SF loss to Perth. Looking at the video it did look deliberate. I'm not going to comment on the refs as I didn't seen any of the SF games (the season ended for me when the Breakers didn't make the playoffs). But judging by your comment below perhaps they deserved it.

    All I will say is that I hope the Hawks win the final and that the zebras don't gift the title to those piston wristed gibbons from the West.

    Tony Mitchell had some discipline issues. But jesus the Wildcats get away with a lot of shit other teams get called for in the same game. Fucking Martyn can run the length of the court leaning on a player, but mysteriously never give away a foul. Matty Knights just pushes people and the other player gets called.

    Fuck Perth. Go the Hawks.

    Oh, and the suspension is meaningless because Tony won't be back in the NBL.
