The Breakers came back from 16 pts down at HT to beat the Hawks 91-81. I'll have a watch a replay. Maor must have let rip at the HT break.
We looked rusty as. Turnovers and some pretty lack lustre defence had us on our heels in the first half.
Brantley was big as was Brown late in the game.
Le’Afa was playing excellent D on Tyler Harvey. But his offensive game looked a shadow of his early season form.
Loe will be a very important player for us in the playoffs. He’s in good form.

Abercrombie is scoring some points too, so we've got more balanced scoring.

Go the Bullets
Win in Perth with our scrubs getting huge minutes
There isn't a player in thr league who gets softer whistle than Bryce cotton.

pretty great season really. 2nd and 3rd was decided by OT of the final game for the team that finished 2nd.
Perth made the finals with literally the last play of the season.
Injuries are now the focus. Nearly everyone is banged up.

LoL. I missed the last game but thought I'd heard they beat Brisbane at the death.

Love that United missed out especially with it being so close. I pictured all those ferals that I’ve sat near at Hisense Arena watching and cheering for the Kings and then immediately feeling ripped off. Haha suck it.
Corey Webster is cooking. The fact that Cotton went 1/20 from the field and they still pulled off. There was a nice moment after the game where Cotton was hugging Corey and you could tell that Cotton knew Corey saved his backside.

I see Pinder won back-to-back MIP - that’s gotta be rare!
Was the MVP until he got injured at Christmas

Strange that the defensive player of the year plays for the second-worst defending team. A pity they didn't select an all-defensive team.
i would have picked Pardon, he was seriously good (only player i saw stop Pinder dead in his tracks)
Taipans had a night out, picking up every award they were nominated for, and had two guys on the all-NBA 2nd team.
won't mean much if we lose to Tassie tomorrow and then get rolled by Cotton on Sunday.
Not having Pinder for the rest of the season is going to hurt.
-
Both play-in games won by the touring side
Perth come back from a decent deficit and go big in the 4th to eliminate SEM
Jackjumpers go to Cairns and put them away comfortably (despite Cairns hitting the front in the 3rd).
Two telling stats for the Taipans
5/22 from 3 (against 10/21)
8 bench points to 46The Taipans are in a battle because right now we have 5 good players. The starting 5 are as good as anyone, and if it was a 6 with pinder, we are a shout of winning the whole thing. Without Pinder it's 5 guys trying to play all game. On the bench we have
Deng, a 6'9 streak of piss that can't defend, doesn't rebound, and on offense stands outside the arc and jacks up 5-6 threes a game. And on a good night will hit 2 of them
Ayre, a little hustle guard, who at his best plays pest defence, pushes the ball up the court quick and is pass first. But suddenly in the last 3 weeks he thinks he's a scorer, so he's jacking up (flat) 3s and attacking the rim despite being shorter than me (to predictable results)
Jonah Antonio was recruited as a sharp shooter who is shooting at less than 30%
That's our bench.. They played 32 total minutesSo we need the main guys to play huge to win. DJ Hogg was flat. We were stone cold from 3. McCall bustled his way to points, but we shot like shit. missing a third of our freethrows didn't help
So now we get a buoyant Perth on Sunday and i already know how that goes.
Good season, but we are cooked.
