Breakers vs Hawks, Jan 16

@ Anon; the referees wanted the bench to reset the clock to 0.4 seconds for the final NZ possession, but despite numerous attempts to stop the clock manually at that time, the closest they could get was 0.5. That was a technology issue though.

Then the Breakers ran a "trick" inbounds play which involved another player stepping out of bounds to take the inbounds pass from the initial inbounder, but the bench started the clock when this pass happened despite the ball not entering play.

What was the score bench issue?

Looks like Rhys MArtin grabbing his junk in the photo on the NBL website

Great work by Adelaidenow for making this happen:

So Melbourne a lock to make grand final if they are playing themselves

The NSEC has such a dead atmosphere - and lol at the primitive scorebench system, can't increase milliseconds.

@PerthWildcats

With Illawarra beating New Zealand, a win tonight (or Sunday) will ensure the Wildcats finish top three.

Why is it that nbl score bench people are just so pathetic at their jobs?

"Melbourne V United and Adelaide V Cats 1st round secured"

Who you guys got winning Melbourne v United??

Hawks won?
Guess I shouldn't have given up on them in the 2nd quarter huh

I don't think it is if Perth lose both and NZ beat Sydney NZ finish 3rd.

Hawks win 84-82

I had zero clue that was even a rule. Passing along the baseline!

Wow. I could have done without the first 3 quarters of that game, but what a finish. Interesting decision by Henare to stick with the same unit throughout the Hawks comeback.

Norton banks a 3 with 0.1 left!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTON

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOE

holy shiz!

Gee wiz what a quarter for the Hawks.

Hawks take the lead with about 40 seconds to go.

I love Kiwi commentators. "Ohhh... Gee wiz!"

CAN YOU FEEL IT?!

You say 'the', indicating there was prior reference to an idiot. Was there subtext in one of my prior posts? Because I can't see any.

I think what's most likely is that you came in on the offensive, wanting to target me like you often do, and that is evidenced by what I talked about in the above paragraph. Do you follow?

Ooh, Ms Rickard! <3

"90 per cent of games in New Zealand are just snoozefests"

Yet you keep watching, doesn't that make you the idiot?

Nonplussed is the number 1 misused word in sports

90 per cent of games in New Zealand are just snoozefests

"It's not just AJ's groin. He's also had heart issues all season." LOL

Hawks are a real risk of the wooden spoon if they lose and results don't go their way.

Some big outs there and with only 9 in the team, they run the risk of getting down to a none on the bench if reffing fouls is taken seriously.

Imagine if they got down to 4 players on court...... call on the PA "calling any Wollongong native living in or holidaying in Auckland to the dressing room please .. to the dressing room anyone who can catch a ball and fit into a Hawks singlet."

Only if the Hawks frontline can score 70+. Hard to see Breakers not being desperate to get up for this.
