Perth at Cairns - 17 November, 2018 - Game discussion thread

ROFL, nice one Camel.

seems every call is going against perth now

Perth left 3 players behind because they had 3 in already Cairns with whistles.

Absolute joke tech on Nate when Jervis knocked it out of his hand. That alone gift point means Taipans win with 4 point play at the end.
Newbill lands in court when he catches the ball, another stitch up by macho ref. Kay carry's the ball in first half on the break(no call) Waxy funmbles ball on the break it's a carry.
Watch the replay and deny that Perth weren't given that game!

Yes and heaps get on board and support the great cause. I guess not him though.

Koberklutz for the fail...
Cats actually ask their fans to wear pink for the Breast Cancer game.

Thanks Gordon,
Good to Know. Great community by Cairns then.
and nice to get a sensible reply.

More a strategic decision than a dumb play.

I've never met a hone period
But I do care about how ugly the uniform is - the home one anyway, since that's the one I'd potentially buy unless it is too ugly (which in recent seasons, Perth's has been IMO). Could hardly care less about the away white though.

Absolutely no idea why certain people seem to care so much about uniform colours. same stupid BS comments every year:
1. team x looks crap in white
2. what's with these shitty uniforms this year?
3. why doesnt the league care about 'presentation'
4. why hasn't anyone called adidas/Nike/etc.?
5. sponsor panels are too big/small/badly placed

I've never met a hone outside this forum who gives two fucks about any of this.

Why get all your fans turned out in Orange, then wear some weird two-tone Grey?

PS: Hate seeing Cats in white.

Let's not forget about the two Taipans five-second violations to cap off one of the stupidest games ever.

On the second one Melo was trying to call timeout on the floor.

Cotton didn't comit a foul on the 3 point play.

Would be interested to speak to both coaches around their strategy in that situation though, possibly some confusion around the new rules? You wouldn't think so but two bits of interesting strategy if they knew.

More a strategic decision than a dumb play. It's something you see in Europe, they'll foul at some strange times because they want the ball in their hands to control the clock late in games. I don't have a problem with that decision, even though it's not what I would do, but fouling Cotton wasn't the best idea.

The foul with 23 seconds to go was planned in a timeout, it didn't happen in the heat of the moment. Easy choice for dumbest play.

Trimble deliberately fouls with about a second to go in the first quarter with his team in the bonus. I think that was the dumbest play of the night, even though there was stiff competition and LV would tell you the resulting point wasn't worth very much ;-).

- Cairns fouls down two with a ten-second difference between the shot clock and the game clock
- Cotton fouls a three-point shooter up four
- Wagstaff throws the ball out of bounds
- Hall throws the ball out of bounds

Easily the stupidest 30 seconds of basketball I've ever seen.

Everyone rightfully talking about how much of a dumbass Cotton is.

But why is no one mentioning those ghastly rags Cairns were wearing? My eyes are bleeding.

I'm liking that Hire is getting back on the boards, he has really stepped up in the absence of the 3 starters.
But not sold on his perimeter defence, and I just cry every time he jacks up a 3.
Why do we persist in those plays?
He, Vague, and even Wagstaff, just so much more effective in the paint.

Very ugly game to watch, and not sure how much longer Perth can keep this up.
Are we going to get anyone back for next week?
How much longer can our luck hold out, without some backup. Lucky Jervis lasted as long as he did, cos all it will take is an early foul-out, or an in-game injury, and we'll be stuffed.

And oh, for the record, Norton has saved our arse big-time in Martin's absence.
You have to give full credit to a guy that was prepared to come across and start on the bench.

There is no way Fearne would of lost 4 in a row at home.

Its not a bitch, didn't see it live myself, but its a really bad miss, it's a fact, it was blatant, it happened. Took a shot a united actually in relation to their asking for the game because of a bad call...

Watch the replay melo trimble double dribbles when he passes the ref before that buzzer beater!!!! Check the nbl fb page, clear as day!! Guess the difference between perth and Melbourne is perth won anyway

Can't get my name out yo mouth

I'm sure they're over the moon about the big three of Kenny, DKD and Walker

Greg Hire 13 boards and gets the gig alongside Gleeson at the press conference, even though Norton has done everything that Trev arksed.

That game was muy loco.
We gave you every chance, Cairns. We left most of our starters in Perth, we gave you OT, we gave you half our previous season's roster... what more could we have done??

If it was wortho then I don't think he even has an upstairs. He is what's known as a single storey dwelling.

The only reason cotton tried to stay with trimble was because they are battling it out for the scoring title in the league. 100% if that was any other player on court cotton would have just let them go. Selfish cotton almost cost his team the game.

Funny point from the game was when the dopey sounding commentator not sure what his name is said in overtime to get jawai back in the game after his man just scored the first 10 points for perth in the extra period. Jawai was a disgrace how unfit and slow he was getting beaten in every way imaginable.

Beaten by a back cut
Beaten by being out rebounded on the offensive end
Beaten by jump shot
Beaten by driving straight past him because he is too slow on the close out
Beaten by hook shot in the post

That was all in the first 3 minutes of overtime and that commentator wanted him back on the court. Is there something wrong upstairs with that bloke?

True Angus they had Hawks and Taipans it doesn't get easier than that

Maybe.. but 8-1 looks pretty good to me

Free throw count 14-27
#awaycooking

haha maybe next time i will type with my glasses on

When it comes to getting wins Gleeson will get tit by any means necessary

A win is a win, but not the best way to get tit.

I wouldn't say Wildcats looking good JR but Taipans looking even worse

Wildcats have had a pretty lucky schedule with the injuries so far, I'd say.

DKD was on in crunch time. Good luck with that.

Wildcats looking good minus 3 starters and still an import spot to be filled.

What a terrible basketball spectacle.

J.. it’s called a rub screen, completely legal

Trimblebruns into hire as the player with the ball is moving, not an illegal?

Perth up 6 with 1:09 left.. can’t choke this again could they?!

I'd like to see Hall's shooting % inside the key when contested for the season. Feels like he's at about 0%.

Both the delay of games were terrible, but at least they were consistent i guess.

You foul him out on that abomination! These refs are fucking disgraceful

Sheesh. That tech foul on Jervis was a bit rough.

Haha what the? These techs for delay of game are crazy!
