R10: United v Breakers

There is no way the 36ers are gonna make fourth. The players will tell you its all ok but it aint. Townsville are teetering on the brink of no finals also and Melbourne are jittery. They got lucky the hawks rolled Sydney. it will be Sydney in fourth and if they end up playing top and its perth, it might be closer than most think

errgh
Melbourne, Kik, MacRae, Melbo...it's a nightmare I can't wake from.

It's strange, if we beat Sydney next week then we'll have kept pace precisely with the Breakers (11-4), so we're still right with them, but at the same time I'm damned if I can think of how anyone is going to pull ahead of them.

Won' be able to get too many drinks guys...not after i fill up my car #nzgasprices :(

Well done Macdub & the Breakers.

Top 3 pretty much locked in so Melb, Syd, Town & the 36ers all fighting for the 4th and final playoff spot so helps the 36ers.

D-Mac still confirming he can't coach to save himself some of those timeouts are cringe worthy listening to. Utd certainly need to find a better coach next season.

To many hot heads! 36ers or the kings for 4th.

kicking myself now Macdub. Nice work.

Good work Macdub, nice way to finish off a weekend

Wow down the stretch what was D Mac thinking. Game in balance and Dennis goes to the line to keep then in the hunt with 1 min or so to go and misses both free throws. Fail. Then Auryn McMillan's on the court at games end. Game winners DMac.
Simple.
When will the Tigers announce about the Head Coach appointment after 'scouring the world'?
Bout time they moved Dmac on. Every chance DMac will be there at seasons end. A very winnable game that they came back from being overwhelmed by the Breakers and to their credit the Tigers fought tooth and nail only to be let down by poor coaching. Plus an import who can't make a foul shot to save his life.

Thank you TAB. Nice little $400. Mystro, surprised you didn't jump on that?

Just what the Sixers ordered. A win to the Breakeres, to keep the hope for finals alive.

Breakers by 5.

Who one? Just on the way to the game

Games down the wire, 1:07 left and breakers up by 1.

United will not make the 4, i tip syd.

Breakers up by 10 with 7:03 left in the 4th.

United have one major problem.

They have players who think they are better shooters than what they really are.

Nate shooting the 3 @ 20%
Lucas shooting the 3 @ 28%

Those two are 14/60 odd between them on the season.

Tomlinson in particular continues to bomb away.

They need to put it away and be smart.

Other, better shooters in the United team could get 14 made 3s over 30/35 attempts (at worst)..so that's essentially 25-30 wasted 3 point attempts.

For my NZ fans, the TAB are offering a special - Jackson to score 16 or more and Breakers to win @ $4.00.

I wacked a hundred on. We shall see.
