    Washington cut Xavier Cooks.

    I would imagine a couple of the richer struggling clubs will be sniffing around. Okay Perth, i mean Perth.

    But Sydney may not be totally happy with their roster yet either

      It was always a bit of a head scratcher to me that he got that contract in the first place. Just too one dimensional for the NBA. He's got hops but no reliable jump shot, not exactly a lock down defender

        Hawks sack their midget coach

        I for one will miss him prowling the sideline with imaginary lat syndrome in full effect

          A good and first road win for the Breakers over Tassie but they can't catch a break with injuries. WMW had only just returned from his broken finger and now this:

            And the season has its second coaching casualty, with the Sixers sacking CJ Bruton

            THey copped an awful pasting on the weekend, and i think that was the catalyst.

            The bottom four teams are all varying shades of shit

            I went to our loss to the Bullets on Friday, and we looked fucking terrible. And the late rally when Brisbane switched off didn't change my opinion (at least Sobey was shit as well. Actually Brisbane are pretty unlikable now, with Sobey, Mitch Norton, and Baynes carrying on like a fuckhead every week). Our imports looked shit, we have no perimeter shooting to spread the floor, and half the team are barely NBL standard.

            Two days later they went to Melbourne and put up the club's highest score ever, and the highest score put on Melbourne at home, with all three imports starring. We're still not a threat to play finals this year, but that's no surprise given the offseason. Tomorrow night i'll go and hurl abuse at DJ Hogg

              Clearly, the Breakers need to play the Taipans every round.

              Looking at the box score Abercrombie was moved to the bench for Rubstavicius in an attempt to get more offence from the starters. Tom has been great but at this stage of his career he is Dillon Boucher with a better outside shot. It seems to have had the desired effect.

                That's not saying much, Tom is a liability shooting

                  That was my point. He is still a great defender but his outside shot is inconsistent at best.

                  Delany needs to be better too.

                    Delaney looks off the pace. Lamb is playing very well right now, they need Cheatham back because he was a spark plug and a physical presence they miss right now

                      The Taipans are shit

                      Somehow a team packed with guys that can't shoot somehow scored 115 in each of their last road games.
                      We.keep jacking up 3s but not making (last week against Sydney we missed 14 straight. Last night 7 from 22). So we can't space the floor which makes us easy to defend

                      But the defence is fucking shit. Kuol and McCall get themselves in foul trouble every week. Last night the Breakers shot well because they got open shot after open shot.

                      Effectively most of the team are barely NBL standard, and the guys who are, like Kuol and Waardenburg, are out of form. We're 6 and 9 for a reason.
                      Fuck Hogg, fuck Pinder, fuck Sydney Melbourne and Perth.

                        The Breakers beat the evil empire in Perth but lose Lamb for the season. So many injuries.

                        I saw a stat today that the Breakers have only had their full roster for 8 minutes and 44 seconds this season.

                          That is a huge loss. Is it too late to draft another import in?

                            The Abercrombie farewell tour continues... PJC was immense.

                            Strange that @mariner4life's team sweep the best team but will miss the playoffs.

                              Because we suck

                              Last night's game was weird. We were up by like 22 at 3/4 time, then Melbourne turned in one of the best quarters I have seen on that court. We stopped them in the end, but they still scored 34 points!!

                                One quarter to play in the play-in game, Sydney Kings vs the short handed Breakers, and it's all tied up. I hate the Kings almost as much as I hate Perth, we don't seem to be getting much love from the refs tonight. And we are forcing too many 3s right now. Jackson-Cartwright already has 25 points, we will need him to carry us home

                                  Oh my god. With all the injuries we've had, having to play Sydney away, refs against us, the team came up huge on D, and Parker Jackson Cartwright led a masterclass in leading us past the evil Empire. I have zero sympathy for the Kings, they can fucken suck it

                                      The Sydney Kings loss to the Breakers has cost their US coach his job. It was fun watching their owners look miserable at the end of the game.

                                          A real swings and roundabouts game in Wollongong. Hawks came out of the gates hot, and the Breakers pulled it back to all square at the half. Hawks raced ahead early in the third,but the Breakers have closed the gap to 3 with a quarter to play
