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.

yeah, but it's not normally 25 fucking fouls to 9 halfway through the 4th quarter! they are normally more subtle
Cairns stage an enormous come back, get to within 4, and then bang! the fouls start and the game blows out again
it was fucking shameless. The two coaches challenges were bullshit as well.
The crowd were fucking ropable. i may have had a word or two.

Kings shooting a lazy 16 of 20 from 3 for a nice 80% tonight as they will beat the Phoenix.

@canefan Brown Jnr is a great scorer, but man he is prone to some bad play down in the clutch. That turnover where he just threw it into Cotton’s arms and then that quick fire 3 point shot when we needed to use clock we’re pretty dumb.
We needed that win after the last 3 losses.

It frustrates me when we are up by a decent amount and instead of going for high percentage 2s we take I'll advised 3s

I see that Tai Webster has joined Perth. The Breakers still owned his rights so the Wildcats would have to pay a transfer fee.
Certainly some dumb plays by the Breakers in the last minute. Ironically, the Breakers could have gotten an easy 2 pts late in the game but Brown Jr dribbled to use up some clock. The wrong option on both occasions.
-
very nice to see the Taipans go to Brisbane and smash them. Spicy game too, heaps of niggle, McCall got in Baynes' head in a big way.
Brisbane are shit, and that Nathan Sobey contract is looking worse and worse. Bloke is probably more hated than Chris Goulding because at least Melbourne fans love Goulding. Suck shit Nathan.
-
Barry Brown Jnr once again playing poorly in crunch time. He really tightens up and throws dumb passes or takes tough/poor shots.
We shouldn’t have lost that.

How to sum up the Kings v Bullets in one pic
-
surprising lack of chat around the Breakers from yesterday?
What happened?
From a Taipans perspective what a run. 6 wins on the bounce, without the guy who was an MVP candidate through the first half of the season. Tough weekend with an all the way to the wire win over the Hawks on Friday, then a close fucking win away on the Sunday. We have winnable games left as well.
I find it hard to believe we are the 2nd best team in the country, but i believe we are the best chance of beating the Kings in a series. We already beat them 2-1 in our series this year, and that one loss was a missed shot and miracle 3-pointer from a road win.

I only saw brief highlights on the TV news. With Brown Jr out the Breakers will need McDowell-White and Abercrombie to step up to find those 20 pts. It looks like the former did in this game but Tom doesn't score enough points to be a factor now. On the plus side for the Breakers they have plenty of games against the Hawks and Bullets to come. Still need to win them though.

@Bovidae Hawks will be a shitfight. They lack talent but they fight! their little midget coach has them scrappy as. It's astounding to me they only have 2 wins when the Bullets exist, and there are a few other brittle teams floating around

We missed Brown Jnr’s scoring for sure, but we are in a hole and have lost our way on the defensive end. Too many breakdowns and it’s frustrating the dudes out there. Noticing a few more words being said between our guys and the odd arms out and pointing.
We need to regroup and get that team cohesion back.
On offence we aren’t running the Pardon high pick enough. Brantley is a beast but a bit too much iso ball for my liking. I think we need to give Rob Loe a few more minutes. He’s only playing about 10-11 a game but he’s a scorer and has really stepped up on his positional defence.
-
Bullets get an away win despite some favourable hometown reffing to the Phoenix. Baynes was pretty fired up in this one but basically fouled himself out the game. Harrison gave the Bullets some decent minutes. Jason Cadee have a big game and Sobey was his usual up and down self.

And the Breakers win in Sydney...
What a game. I don’t think we could’ve played a better first half given our two outs.
McDowell-White doing the lion share of ball handling and he was killing it. The float game was a killer. But he was asked to play more minutes ball carrying as our 4th string point guard struggled.
Massive win given we were the coldest team on the league losing 4 straight and in Sydney. More NBA scouts than you could poke a stick at there too.
