Perth v Brisbane 16/12

"Not sure how you guard a player like Kickett, who is shooting exceptionally well this season."

With respect; Kickert always has very good shooting seasons..not just this season.

Perth played poorly and couldn't score on the open shots they generated, it was uninspiring basketball, yet they were within 4 with multiple opportunities to go even in the last 2 mins against a team who was having a night out hitting for the most part the easy and the heavily contested. Let's not overreact to that result

I’d suggest that if he stays around then longer term Perth will look to replace DKD with a genuine guard.

I will be surprised if he will be here to the end, a very uninspiring game by Perth. Brisbane made the play's when it mattered.

Perth need to learn how to play without Martin, he isn't going to be there for ever and still think they are to cotton reliant. On top, with plenty up side.

They have over a month to make up their minds on what to do with Cooke Jr. I say keep him

Yes, losses are going to happen, but its annoying to have them happen at home, against a team that is barely in contention, and in such an obvious fashion.
The stupid thing is that Kenny is a very good backup for Martin, and his performance today was good. But otherwise the backcourt cupboard is bare.
Wagstaff had an off game, it happens, but generally he has been very good off the bench. All you could want in a 6th man.
Hire is generally good value, and you’d generally be happy with somebody like him as your 11th or even 10th man. But he’s not.
DKD just doesn’t seem to have what it takes. Can sometimes shoot ok, but basically doesn’t do enough.
I thought Steindl was a good pickup. Last time he played in the NBL he was very good, and the little I read when he went to Europe suggested his shooting was holding up well. But it seems to have deserted him. Hopefully he can regain some of that. I’d suggest that if he stays around then longer term Perth will look to replace DKD with a genuine guard.

Whilst Cooke continues to improve, I’m still not sold. Two season ago our 3 biggest players were Knight, Jawai, and Jervis. We’ve lost a lot of inside muscle and it shows.
Not sure how you guard a player like Kickett, who is shooting exceptionally well this season.

Cotton is a top 5 player at present tho

Ah, I would've written a long-winded reply but you're not worth the time

The validity of the point is everything, not the moment in which it was raised. You're the salty one, kid. Can't stand people being critical about your team. It's a forum, get used to it.

They are my opinions after all, you're free to disagree. But make your beef with the point, not the person. You look stupid chiming in on threads, bashing most things I say. Borrowing a page from Lovebroker, am I all you think about?

His point was probably you waited until Cotton made a couple of bad plays in a loss to claim he has “glaring weaknesses” which is just ludicrous.

What exactly was your point? Being subjective about Perth again? Now you can claim you’re being verbally abused again.

Anything more to add, Lovebroker? I'd like to know what your point was

NO Martin no Perth.

Rightio

He made a lot of jumpshots last week, Lovebroker. I'm not sure what your point is.

Anon, I'm not stupid enough to make a judgement on player's ability to do a certain thing from just one play

"Hope we see more like tonight, so people can start to see he has glaring weaknesses. "

You were awfully quiet last week....wonder why?

Couldn't help but be impressed with the Bullets at both ends today. Quality road win.

Lemanis is MVP of the Bullets

Tokoto did an ankle at the half an ever looked settled afterwards.

Perth had the game where they just for bring it, Brisbane was hot and hit some very tough shots at some points. Refs where as usual inconsistent and confusing. Buford slipped twice and got bailed out both times when the game was in the balance, they just suck.

M A S S I V E win for Brisbane

I've always said Cotton is a jumpshooter first, second and third. There are very few things outside jumpers, and flopping like a fish, That he excels at.

Hope we see more like tonight, so people can start to see he has glaring weaknesses. Get him driving and another him at the rim. He doesn't make the greatest decisions

You mean there’s less than 4?

Big win for the Bullets

Not going to win when you shoot 40% from the field, and 18% from 3pt line. You could see right from the start they were off, a touch of arrogance in tonight's game from the Wildcats. Did not respect Brisbane at all, and thought it would just happen.

Haha bam

Wildcats fans at the game, Brisbane fans non existent

Very quiet on hoops game thread...

Maybe due to time zone differences. The longitude differential is too great.

I have Brisbane to lead at every quarter at 10-1 come on Brissy!

True

No Damo effect in full force

Bloody hell 24 hours ago he was in NZ and now we're getting Homicide again in Perth.

LK must be trolling us.
