Bullets vs United, Jan 20

One thing Te Rangi is good at - turnovers.

Please refer to him as TO Rangi for the remainder of the season.

"Brisbane's coach is stuck with a game plan from 10 years ago that doesn't work. With that roster they should be much higher playing a faster pace 3 point shooting game instead of going inside to the bigs."

The only real weakness in Brisbane's offensive game is the possession game, they have the highest turnover percentage and the lowest o-board percentage.

At the other end their oppo has the lowest turnover percentage. Possession is nine-tenths of the law in the NBL.

Happy that Moller and Smith Milner played valuable roles off the bench.

United is now clear on top. With 7 games left and 5 of them at home, their destiny is in their own hands, as they say.

Their issue now will be finding a way to get rotations that work once Andersen and Majok are healthy.

It was the Batman and Robin show - some of the shots Ware and Goulding were hitting were ridiculous

It was quite funny watching 2 of the worst players I've ever seen in the nbl going head to head in smith milner and te rangi. Can anyone tell me one thing te rangi is good at?

Brisbane's coach is stuck with a game plan from 10 years ago that doesn't work. With that roster they should be much higher playing a faster pace 3 point shooting game instead of going inside to the bigs. Going inside to the bigs these days is pointless because they are so slow and awkward.

Dem daggers

Phew

Dammit

Just chucked $10 on Brissy when they got out to 10-1

Lets geaux Bullets

What's the latest on Majok Majok?

It's ok

Carry on hitting each others rings....

Yeah I see your thread, you're right

They're allowed to review some plays at any time, but that play isn't reviewable even in the last two minutes.

But it also (see the thread I just created) could not possibly have been a violation, so there was nothing to review anyway.

More importantly, what's the deal with the refs reviewing? Is that what they were doing? They are allowed to review plays at any point of the game?

Do you mean legal or illegal ... to hit the ring ..
stops the ball going in ...
I didnt think you could that .. one time ago...

Interesting that you can hit the ring, now...defending the shot...

They're shit but getting the job done somehow. Imo they're big fans to win this game

Not sure if it's just me, but the Bullets are getting pretty lucky play-to-play

Unless his Dad owns NZ...

NZ need a new captain.

Interesting that you can hit the ring, now...defending the shot...
Petrie looks pretty good...

Wesley with the beastly and 1 and the jawing

That's the New Zealand national team captain you're talking about, mate.

Does Te Rangi's Dad own the team or something? He's a spaz.

Just turned to TV on and saw that haha.

Melbourne by 10.

Melbourne back at home for first time in a couple of weeks.

The game should be over at the half.

Expect a big bounce back game from Wesley as he was held well Thursday night.

Melbourne by 21.

Melbourne should never drop a game the amount of cash they throw at those players but they do. I think after a few upsets this round though they will try and ensure this isn't another.

Just about everyone on the Bullets roster is out of contract at seasons end so you would think they would at least individually have the motivation to impress Lemanis & other teams.

Would normally love Brisbane in this spot but not sure if they find the motivation again today after so many kicks to the groin

I'm looking at the next couple rounds, and Melbourne should be putting a bit of a gap between them and the rest of the league by Feb 4.

So Dwayne Wade has tweeted saying he is in Sydney this morning but I still can't find any info about this All-Star tour.

Has anyone heard anything further about the tour? Anyone got inside news?
