    Wow what a game. We were on fire in the first half and then imploded in the third. Abercrombie hits a game winner with .03 of a second remaining.

    We are starting to find our rhythm. Richard and Long playing well. Tai is our MVP. Webster is hot and cold and today he was cold. Good support from Shea, Weeks, Finn and Abercrombie.

    I watched the game against the Taipans on Fri night and the Breakers looked very good, especially Webster and Richard who couldn't miss. Good to see others stepping up when needed, and payback for the opening night loss. I've recorded the highlights of this game.

    Yep, not great quality so far. Are you at the game?

    I'm going to watch the Breakers on Fri night so hopefully they get their shit together in the 2nd half.

    An ugly win is still a win. Now for the Hawks...

    Yes. I'm at every game. It's my penance.

    Fuck we suck. Most of our roster wouldn't get a game anywhere else.

    Breakers easily the worst team to come to town and beat us this year.

    Haha must have been a bad one. Highlights on the sports news showed me with my head in my hands more than once. Fuck we suck.

    Taipans are on. Starters have given us a lead. Our 2nd unit of absolute spuds are on and just handing it back. Mariner4life is reaching for alcohol

    Good to see Perth's losing streak continue, against the Hawks no less. I enjoyed Friday night's game as it was my first chance to see the Breakers live in a regular season game.

    At the halfway stage, 4 teams are fighting for the last SF spot.

    Sydney v Melbourne yesterday was a bloody good game, and i am still not sure how Sydney managed to lose it.

    Perth losing is good for everyone. But unfortunately for everyone else, we will play them back in to form on New Years eve.

    When you look at the Hawks' roster i am astounded they are not doing better, they are pretty stacked.

    The Hawks couldn't hit a shot against the Breakers but the likes of Andersen and Blanchfield couldn't miss in the Perth game based on the brief highlights I saw. The Hawks have an imposing front line but their depth at guard isn't great.

    Holy fuck we won a game. Not only did we win a game, we smashed Brisbane by 30. And we even gave our spastics 2.5 minutes

    Two lop sided semi final series. And it's Melbourne v Perth. Can both teams lose?

    Perth take game 1. Quite an intense first half with both defences stepping up.

    Perth went on a run in the 3rd and United chasing the rest. Every time United looked to make a run, the Wildcats hit a big shot to keep a good buffer.

    Role players stepped up for Perth.

    NZer Jack Salt and UVA make it to the NCAA men's bball title game after suffering the ignomy of being the first 1 seed to be bounced in the first round last year. They will play Texas Tech after they won through against the final 4 favourite Michigan State

    Steven Adams one tiny step closer to playing in the black singlet

    A squad of Adams, Loe, Pledger, Vukona, Delany, Fotu, Abercrombie, Ngatai, Te Rangi, Ili, + the Webster bros would be pretty sweet for the tournament. People tell me that Adams long-time mentor now works for Basketball NZ so he's pretty much guaranteed to play.

    Just saw our pool: Greece, New Zealand, Brazil and Montenegro. Am I wrong in thinking this will be a tough pool?

    Is that Kenny McFadden?

    Could be Kenny G for all I know, but apparently he's now on the inside as opposed to being out in the cold.
