R5: Taipans v Breakers

haha sorry to disappoint Grey.

What can i say, Breakers came out with a point to prove after last week, Taipans came out slow - like a team that won 6 in a row and probably felt a bit invincible.

2nd half was good, but we couldn't make up the ground we missed in the 1st.

For a guy with cramps most of the 4th, Wilbekin didn't do a bad job walking on water:).

Venom, KingPodge, where are you? (I know, I know, you should always acknowledge the King first. Sorry.) But you guys have been missing from the fray. Not a word about this last game.
Yes, I have to admit my Unitiggers are failing the test. It's been hard to come to terms with this.
On the pos, which completely makes up for it, Vickerman has contacted me with his thanks for my recent insights into the Taipans (even though I'd humbly suggested he ignore this report, citing the contrary professional opinion of the King).
The Taipans still head the table, but how long will they sit there?
Scottie probably isn't a naughty boy, but he's definitely not the messiah.
As the stats declare. As the stats declare..
And as Fearne knows. Just read the Cairns Post.

Tragadh and Weigh....seriously,do they just pick and choose when they turn up??

problem with these type of players is they cant mentally fight their way out of average/bad starts to games...might as well bench them after half time if they haven't shown up to play !

Not good enough guys !

Just need to back that performance up with a decent game against the Crocs who are going to be very tough to beat at home.

Ekene was a stud last night.

Webster finally showing what he can do in the league. A lot of people said he wouldn't progress this year and had reached his ceiling. Averaging 16/17ppg this year..well up on previous years.

Very high quality game. Gliddon needs to hit his shots if Cairns want to go deep.

Impressed with Bruce. I was on his back earlier and questioned whether he should have got a final roster spot.

His vision and the way he sees the game is very good.

I got it right, just the margin wrong.

While it is probably the loss that they had to have, Cairns have been great this season and will surely bounce back in their next game.

Ibekwe and Jackson were too good in this one.

Ibekwe, Breakers stop streaking Snakes

Justin that was me and for good reason, up until his court appearance TeRangi was playing well. Since then his game has declined, much like Creeks when he picked up an injury.

Te Rangi's game definitely down over the last few games

Totally agree, his shot has been way off and he gets badly burnt defensively, the decline has been huge

Mystro, regarding Te Rangi. I have never seen a player's confidence decline as much as his has. He simply can't do a single thing right..i don't think ive seen any of his 3 point attempts even touch the rim. I am sure the club and his teammates are supporting him. Obviously a very family orientated club

3/4 time. Ibekwe listed as having made 2 blocks.

Are they taking the absolute piss?

He has had at least 6.

Very entertaining game. Will be a cracking final term.

TeRangi has been a completely different player since his court appearance and subsequent breakdown pre game at Vector that evening.
Jackson's passing game has been great. He's so much better when he attacks and draws the defense instead of jacking up the outside shot.
Loving Ibekwe's energy, he's had what 3 big dunks already?

Anyone else's nbl.tv feed kinda crap?

Cairns in trouble it seems so far.

Wow..Te Rangi's confidence is shot to pieces.

I think Cairns are primed to be beaten - and I mean no disrespect but they are now due.

Breakers appear primed and are on the first leg.

Breakers by 3.

Preview: Things are heating up north; can the Breakers cool Cairns off?

Breakers have struggled to back up on Sunday after Friday night games so if we win tonight I'd expect us to drop the Sunday game against Townsville but if we go down tonight I'd expect them to come out firing on Sunday.

I think we'll go 1/1 this round.

Would be very happy to see Crocs nail the Breakers in the second game to make me feel better about Wildcats screwing up over there :D

The Breakers are stage 1 of the reptile rumble. They will want to win both games, but how hard do they go tonight to ensure they are still in the hunt on Sunday?

I think NZ may have a shot at this one narrowly but not going to hold my breath, Fearne has put together a great squad.
