Breakers Vs Leopards

Game 3 was Brown, Pickering & another guy whom I have never seen before.

Corletto in an interview after the game said the players have had a meeting with the powers to be in the last couple of days and agreed on a middle ground in regards to the reffing.
The Leopards players and Gorj looked just as frustrated as anyone on the court with some of the calls, and especially Donte Greene

Huge amount of chinese turned out at Vector to boost the crowd numbers.
The crowd got behind the Leopards in the last quarter and Vickerman rested a few guys and the Chinese started bomning away from behind the arc and got close.
Donte Greene came close to being on a Tom Aberctombie poster but didnt play as many minutes as he became frustrated with how the game was being called.

Vickerman has said that the Coaches are calling their scrimmages really tight in a bid to help them adjust but he said the biggest changes he'll be making is in their offense.
With the new interpretations expect Johnson, Abercrombie, Vukona, Lazare & Pledger to all attack the rim a lot this season in a bid to draw fouls and win freethrows.

@Paul: yup, the fouls have been kept down, but they're still whinging about the calls being made so obviously they still have some work to do to understand the new direction...

If they're not fouling out, they might be picking up 2 or 3 early fouls and sitting out most of the game, who knows, otherwise, I can't see why the whinging...

This was a recent comment from Mika (taken after game 2 I believe),

"I thought I'd be able to adjust to it easily, because that's how they play international basketball.

"But I am struggling to adjust, while everyone else seems to be able to, so it's not the officiating's fault."

^ Yes, been reduced as a team, although The Usual Suspect (Vukona) still fouled out in the first game in 16min and finished on 4 fouls in 20min in the second.

Would it kill these guys to form a single front with the NBL and forward their united cause?

Maybe if they had any justification other than just getting pinged for the dirty crap they used to get away with and aren't adjusting to...

Teams adjusted to a certain degree at the Blitz and they've been adjusting since... The Crocs/Taipans game recently, each team had 22 fouls a piece, and the two Kings/Hawks games had similar numbers, and considering one of those games was a double overtime, I reckon the Breakers can stop sucking their thumbs and take a good look at who the idiots are that are continuing to rack up fouls that sit them on the bench...

Refs are always going to get SOME calls wrong, missing travels, etc etc, but to keep blaming it on the new interpretations is already getting old...

Breakers Management did say that this season ticket prices are going up as they have been too cheap in the past. That was more in regards to regular season fixtures but may also explain the pre-season prices.

4th quarter 67-58 to the Breakers.

Greene with 26 points (11/20 & 4/9 from deep) and Corletto with 12 and Jeremiah Truman chipping in with 9 points (4/5 shooting) and 2 offensive rebounds and a block in under 12minutes.
Corey Webster has gone 2/10 and Abercrombie 1/6 but 2 blocks an assist and a steal

Went to the game in New Plymouth the other night. (got free tickets)

Was going to go again tonight, until I saw the ticket prices for a student were $25, which I thought was a bit steep. (Can understand its a CBA team and were flying them over here, but still)

Just wanted to know if at the end of the season and two teams finish on the same win/loss record therefore same points does it go to head to head between the two teams or percentage??
Surely it would be head to head but just wanted to know.
Thankyou
