Our bogey team, plus C Webb remembers how to shoot, just had to do it against us!
Corey hasn’t had a great season at all, but man that little run of 10 straight points and then Manek hitting 3 or 4 straight 3s.
We shut down Cotton but our offence went stagnant and we resorted to jacking it.

I didn't see the first Breakers-Kings game but the Breakers really struggled with the length of the Kings bigs inside tonight. Although they made another 4th Q run they need to hit more threes to win this matchup. The preferential treatment of the Kings by the refs doesn't help.

Game 1 they shot poorly in q1 and dug themselves a hole. They roared back lage but got pipped at the post

@Bovidae sheesh we couldn’t buy a call last night, especially Pardon who probably missed out on three And-1’s.
But Sydney are very good. Cooks on track to win MVP, Soares has excellent footwork and soft touch around the rim, DJ spreads the defence even if he’s having an off night, Walton Jnr came out fired up after a sub-par game last time we met them.
We needed a bit more out of a couple of players, but we were right there after turning up our defence in the 4th quarter.
We are better on the road

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, Brantley was poor, and was forcing up low percentage shots. The Breakers made runs but then went cold for stretches.
I had to laugh when Mulligan said that Cooks had more fouls on him than the Breakers had as a team.

@mariner4life yep. 5 teams have winning records on the road (Kings, Breakers, Taipans, JJs, 36ers). Wildcats are 3-3 and then the other 4 teams (Phoenix, Hawks, United, Bullets) all have losing records on the road.
Only 3 teams have winning records at home, and it’s the top 3 teams on the table - Kings, Breakers and Phoenix.

Corey Webster is cooking. Hits a game winning 3 in his 250th NBL game.
United with a massive choke in the final 30-40 seconds. They were up 7. Shout out to Blanchfield who hit a huge 3 plus the foul. Perfect missed FT and offensive rebound and kick out to Corey.

Fuck Perth
-
Now that Gleeson is gone and one of my favourite NBL players (Rillie) is coaching and they have Manek and Webster, I’m less against them, ever so slightly….
I actually enjoy seeing United lose more than seeing Perth lose.

@ACT-Crusader well, yes, fuck Perth does not mean that also not fuck Melbourne.

The current Perth coach is also a crazy man. Tore a strip off his team after one posession against the Breakers, and was yelling and threatening the ref a bit later

@canefan that's all basketball coaches?
The midget coaching the Hawks is hilarious!

Yeah many. But he's going to give himself an aneurysm doing it like that. Even Modi has calmed down a lot

Rillie coaches with a bit of fire much like the way he played.
I guess it did the trick in that Breakers game because they pulled finger and then got the choccies. I’m personally not into that style, have played for one that was a bit too fiery for my liking, but most seem to have a happy medium with the odd outrage moment….

Brisbane suck and we should be hosing them, but in typical Taipans fashion we are not.
Baynes is a fucking unit though

If you want to see some bullshit fucking whistle look at what Perth is getting tonight
We're getting fucking stitched up on our own court!!

@mariner4life the Aussie refs always give the likes of Wagstaff and Norton the benefit of the doubt in charge calls and also allow all sorts of contact by Perth defenders. Been happening for years.
