Brisbane-New Zealand Nov 11

"Brisbane to beat United on Sunday, the thousand is down."

Double down next week.

Eastbound and a thousand down

Hey Perthworld, money's on.

Brisbane to beat United on Sunday, the thousand is down.

According to the box score, Brisbane suited 13 players for this one.

Max is still 12, right?

It's actually Melbourne. Literally and figuratively.

So far away? But we're the centre of the NBL universe!

Dig it up, bold it, blockquote it, write it in all caps, write it spongebob meme style, underline it.

Pride must mean nothing to you.

You think I'd exchange money and personal information with a shady West Australian anyway? Deluded. Just like Tasmania, you guys are so far away that you've become an afterthought. Just keep going. Would Indonesia even want you?

Bet's on if the dead drop is Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, fountain near the Glenelg/Merivale St door before GF Game 3, with the rules as stated in Reply #714988

Keep chirping. I've been a gentleman so far by not linking to the post where you spectacularly backed down from putting money on the line after suggesting it. Classic.

Inferior logic and inferior basketball team come playoffs. That's u

Keep talking.

Att: Perthworld

Can't help but notice you don't have a retort. Taking Ls like the Cats will in the semis. So good.

Feels like every team except Perth is Jekyll or Hyde this season, but maybe not to the extreme of NZ though. Breakers to me are in similar territory to the Kings where it feels like the roster has the talent to succeed, but is let down by the coaching. Talent will get them wins, but I don't see them living up to their potential with Braswell at the helm.

Last play was messy but Breakers came through with deserved win.
Flat spell in Q3 was troubling. Brasswell had wrong team on floor and scrimmage play was exposed.
Huge game for Richard. Webster was not the money player we needed at prime time.
Ili made two huge plays down stretch and should have had ball in his hands for final play.
Breakers are a hard team to peg, contender or pretender. Long may be the key! He is an instant foul to anyone driving within 2 feet of him.
Time to work things out, I suppose.

By being 'figurative' you just open yourself up to loose, incoherent narratives. If you don't care about the integrity of your stories, go right ahead.

In Perth, Holt was as bouncy as I've seen him this year and he made an impact. I think they should just start him at point and see how it goes. Been thinking that for a while.

Breakers starting to find their groove despite almost grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory in this one. Nice they held their nerve and took the W they deserved.

How about Crashee? Too soon?

LOOOOOOL

"Jason Spudee"

I'm using this from now on.

Way to take something figurative so literally. Rename yourself The Fat Controller.

Jason Spudee another awesome game of sub 30% shooting.

Reach.

You reach, I teach. Bullets G-Finalists.

I see where you're going with this, I really do, but I see a flaw in your argument too. Your description of said train has a sense of inevitable conclusion to it. The damage is either irreparable, which means the train does not meet the standards of the Australian Locomotive Association of Australia and will thus be decommissioned and stripped for parts, or it does. If it does meet the standards then it will continue its journey unmolested and is subject to only routine weekly checks just like every other train. So your argument of there being a potential for termination of the service 'down the track' is wrong; the train is either fit to be commissioned or it is not. And seeing as there are guaranteed stops ahead, as soon as next weekend no less, the train has not been decommissioned. That is under your premise that the train has in fact derailed, which is actually up for debate. I don't think it has derailed.

I know so much more about ALAA statutes than you, it'd make your head spin.

Speaking of trains, could someone throw Cadee in front of one?

and these two minor derailments may cause the inevitable irrepairability down the track of not even making it into Top Four Station.

These derailments have been minor, so the train has been able to be put back on the tracks to get to the next stop. Come on Manu.

Its*

If the damage from a derailment is irreparable, then the train wouldn't be allowed back on the tracks, period. So it's life would be over. That's train 101 mate. I should know, I'm a real train pilot

We'll that's just gibberish.

See the NBL match reporter has picked up on the Bullet train phenomenon

Poor Lovebroker

"Commentators were right, should of been 0.6 seconds left on the clock for Brisbane. "

looked like 0.3 was correct to me when I paused it as the ball was going hitting the net

Lucky me then

Why is everyone saying 'Poor Brisbane'?

They have only themselves to blame for letting the first half go like that.

I stopped watching at half time to go do gardening, my loss.

Cadee is a hack.

"Perthworld, you understand there is only one train. The train derailing means the season is over. Pretty clear. There isn't a different train for every game."

Manu, a train network has various stations which terminate at the ultimate destination. The bullet express has derailed just before reaching two of them during this round. There are of course many more stations to come, buta third have already been traversed. They'll be back chugging along next week but the damage down the track from two derailments may be irrepairable. Time will tell.

'Superb quality for me, as always.'

Are you watching desktop or mobile?

Come to think of it, the feed on my mobile is better than desktop which toggles between good quality and bad quality

Commentators were right, should of been 0.6 seconds left on the clock for Brisbane.

My NBL TV worked fine all day

Superb quality for me, as always.

'What's wrong with nbl.tv?'

Quality of the feed is terrible as always?

J, they're getting in early

The Bullet Train chugs on

Do brisbane hang a banner of all their current players in the stadium? How weird, surely that is reserved for championship banners and retired jerseys.

Poor Brisbane.

Perthworld, you understand there is only one train. The train derailing means the season is over. Pretty clear. There isn't a different train for every game.

What's wrong with nbl.tv?

That female interviewer asked Abercrombie about his game winning 3 pointer

*face palm*

Now you see why I'm so big on Brisbane.

That was a special comeback.

Choo fkn choo baby.

League on notice.

Twice.

They were right at the end of the track pulling into the station and derailed just before the platform.

Just like Andrej drew it up

Gibson just flubbed it

Poor Brisbane, 2 buzzer beaters in one weekend
