NBL 2021
-
Covid changes continue
We were supposed to host Brisbane on Saturday, and the Breakers on Monday
That's now the Breakers on Saturday, and TBC for Monday
-
Very arbitrary changes to the schedule. The Breakers-Perth games have been postponed so why couldn't they play the second game (Friday) at a neutral venue as Perth is also leaving WA?
-
A gutsy first win by the Breakers or another 4th Q choke by the Taipans? Perhaps a little of both, but hopefully Patterson is out of his funk.
I'm finding it hard to be enthused with this Mickey mouse schedule as I don't watch any other games.

Fuck supporting this club sucks. 14 fucking years of this shitshow

Got the feel that Lamar was not going to let us lose that one. He made some big plays but also forced a bit too. The light blue is definitely not flattering for him...
Good to get a win even if it was against talented but poorly coached side!

@ACT-Crusader I don't know what the fuck Kelly is doing
-
@mariner4life Scotty M is a talented player but the over dribbling up the top is not going to win you games. Other than Cam, the other guys are just mainly standing and watching. Dumb offence
-
36ers getting towelled up by the Kings.

I got dragged away at the end of the 3rd quarter and couldn't see the Breakers winning. Cairns should have run away with it I reckon.

After a couple of those sets he was coming back yelling at the coaches. Clearly not happy.
-
Sloan has asked the 36ers for a release. That didn’t take long....
-
The Breakers didn't play well, but fuck me the refs let the taipans away with murder. Totally swallowed the whistle with the snakes on D
-
@canefan I find it so frustrating to watch NBL games, the officiating is majorily inconsistent, from one end of the court to the other and from game to game. It certainly helsp if you are on of the fancied aussie clubs!

The kiwi comms are increasingly happy to tell it like it is. If you are wearing a breakers uniform you aren't getting the calls! At least until its too late to matter
-
I only watched the 1st half but wasn't surprised by the final result. The Breakers were ice cold from the 3 pt line and missed so many layups.
@canefan We are getting Mulligan and Frank as comms so I don't think the Aussie comms will be so critical of the refs in these games. Usually the criticism is that the home team gets the calls. The problem for the Breakers is that they don't have any home games.

Oh yeah I'm sure the aussie comms weren't saying anything (I did say Kiwi comms....). We didn't help ourselves, Ty Webster is as much harm than help, CWeb was cold, and Tom has been sub par for some time. We just aren't a strong team right now. And we are getting hosed by the refs too
-
you fluffybunnies are having a fucking laugh.
After Saturday and the soft fouls that were drawn to grab a win to have the entire discussion of the game how hard done by you are by the refs is a joke
and to call the Taipans a "favoured club" is a joke as well.
I didn't go last night, and we won, so either i get pissed by them fronting up when i'm not there, or a declare myself the problem and stay away.
-
Tai is stinking the house out big time. Can’t drop it in the ocean
-
The Breakers need to find a way to score more points. They are the lowest scoring team in the competition.
Making their free throws would help. It was like watching Reggie Miller at one end of the court and Shaq at the other.
-
So how does this bloody Cup even work? Games also count towards the regular season? I am so confused. It's good having games every day though
Cairns lost to Melbourne last night. We had the lead until the 4th fucking quarter. And then in the 4th, they couldn't miss, and we couldn't hit. I actually think the 4th Q fadeouts and lack of movement are because our depth is shiiiiit. The same guys are playing huge minutes, and we are paying the price at the back end, because guys are too tired to move. Some of the baskets that were given up were fucking soft.
Noi was big. Machado is good but needs to trust others in the 4th. Oliver was okay. Losing Deng fucked us because he's a big minute guy (even if they aren't high quality this year). All due respect to our cohort of "ichs" but they are not guys that play big minutes on good teams. The two kiwis can fuck entirely off.
Melbourne aren't even playing well, have 2 of their main guys out, and are still either wining, or having the opportunity to win, every night. That big hillbilly Jock Landale is fucking lethal from 3. Was really impressed with Baba as well. Can't see them losing a series come playoffs.
