    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

                                PJC is shooting cold, needs to catch fire in the last 7 minutes to lead the Breakers home

                                  McDowell White turned his ankle late in the 2nd quarter and has barely played the half. Breakers leading by 2, they have reduced the game to a street fight

                                      18 seconds to play, Breakers down by 3 with possession. What a tight game

                                        Breakers fall short, PJC has a buzzer beater 3 to tie and it goes in and out. Such a brave season after so many injuries

                                          i know we all thought the season already finished but

                                          both semis go to game 3 (Melbourne really should already be out).

                                          Teams should be studying what Tasmania have done when setting up their club. 3 seasons, made the finals, lost a semi, now a game from making the finals again. An amazing start
