Breakers starters play with foul trouble for most of the 2nd half and grind out an ugly win

That was an awesome win. I love those sort of games because of what it can do for the team. Jackjumpers are the second best defensive side so it was always going to be a tough game especially with two of our key guys out and on their home court. Add the fact that the refs were having one of those nights falling for a lot of crap. I loved how we didn’t lose our cool when we were down by 6.
Pardon and Brantley were huge on the boards. Love that 4 of our key players finished the game with 4 fouls and were disciplined enough to keep playing and not foul out.
I don’t know why but I was really into this game and for me that is the win of the season so far.

Definitely the kind of game we would have lost easily last year. Everything was going against us but we found a way to win. Huge effort from all players concerned. The Breakers will be in to win a lot of games with team play like that

A bloody good effort with the Breakers having a smaller rotation (no Loe or Rupert). The return of Abercrombie helps in the absence of Rupert.

I had to laugh when Tommy was in the corner, he up faked, then drove baseline for the soft dunk. He’s been doing that for 15 years yet defenders fall for it every time.

That's some travel schedule. Just another way our aussie overlords try to fuck us

The 36ers had been in Auckland for a couple of days before last Sunday's game. The Breakers arrived home from Tassie at 3 am that morning for a 4 pm game.

the NBL schedule to start the season is horribly one-sided
The Breakers have obviously had it very bad
The Taipans have only had 3 home games
Melbourne have already 8
Sydney have had 5
Perth have had 6Most away games to start were the teams expected to be at the bottom
Getting in and out of Cairns is fucked as well. Teams even from Aus are having to make 2 flights.

Breakers win by 11. The game could have gone either way but the boys came up with the goods and won comfortably in the end. Reinforcing their credentials as the league's best 4th quarter team improving to a 6-1 away record and 9-3 overall
-
Up and down game with a hell of a lot of turnovers. But the Breakers class of Brantley and Pardon shone through.
Taipans are a good team and play an uptempo style but Adam Ford needs to work out what he is going to do with McCall because they look a completely different team (for the worse) when he is out there. Trying way too hard and goes off the reservation too often.

And the loss was in OT to Melbourne in the first game.
I watched a replay of the game. It got close midway through the 4th Q before the Breakers hit some big shots. Both teams struggled with ball-handling. Humidity?

I think the Breakers got sloppy as Cairns turned up the defensive intensity, until we broke out again
