Cairns v Melbourne Jan 13

Cairns have been finding ways to lose all year.

Cairns is a bit of a 2 trick pony with Melo and Nate.....you wont win consistently with that.
Thought Hall should have had some stuff run for him to mix it up, if he receives the ball in stride he is money, have to remember he is a undeveloped kid with heaps of potential....Mike, that's your job!!

Yeah they have been genuinely good.
Then suddenly they change up completely and start playing careful basketball to protect their lead rather than just doing what they were doing - i.e. comfortably out-playing their opponent. It was excruciating to watch them die like that. That could leave some mental scars.

Credit to Melbourne for hanging around, but that 4th quarter was so fucked.

found*

"Cairns just completely went away from what was working for them."
agreed, and melbourne fould one play that was working for them, and just repeated it waiting for a successfull defensive adjustment, which never came.... 10 easy points.

we have all been sick off all the perthworlds trolling us all season

The Cairns Jawais had a very good first 3 quarters but then everyone suddenly forgot they existed.

Casper United just too good for the Cairns Trimbles.

oh it's Hall. didn't know he was playing today.

Seems I have a doppelganger - Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Trimble 42pts in vain.

Casper just taking the piss now

Massive choke. Even outside of Melo's hot shooting, Cairns just completely went away from what was working for them.

down 10 and they finally get it to Jawai

MEL 19-0 run... lol

its that high to low move by the 5 that has been working all the second half for melbourne, and there seems no coaching adjustment from kelly.

beyond cooked. they are burnt to a crisp. they are cremated.

bye taipans

Trimble is cold now, Snakes cooked.

"Feels like every time I get discouraged by a Kings loss, Melbourne and Perth manage to shoot themselves in the feet again as well."
not so fast angush

fuck off cairns ffs what a choke

Overtime.

jesus, this has been a choke of perth-like proportions

All tied up now, MEL 9-0 run. Wow.

Trimble's mum: "dafuq was that?"

It's as if every player is on four fouls.

Dumb foul by Loe. And there was contact so foul is the correct call. But is it time to start calling flops on guys who flop on absolutely minimal contact coming down from jumpshots?

Bwahahaha now that's gold.

brilliant interview by wortho. enjoy him while you can hoops fans because he will be snatched up by 60 minutes in no time.

Trimble owns Ware on O and D in consecutive plays. :o

Yeah, actually I agree with that.

no only Perth is cooked everyone else is just hitting a lot of speed bumps but will be fine

Every team lately looks cooked apart from Cairns. Twilight Zone stuff.

Trimble finally misses after being 11/11.

Jawai continues to look great.

Feels like every time I get discouraged by a Kings loss, Melbourne and Perth manage to shoot themselves in the feet again as well.

20 more minutes of that please, snakes. Good stuff.

Trimble 23pts on 10/10 FG at HT.

From memory the record points haul up there at the CCC was 50 by Martin Cattalini vs. Bullets in a 48min game.

Yeah still suffering symptoms. Will be back in time to flog you blokes over in the west

DJ Kennedy's concussion - from the car crash?

Wouldn't be surprised if they won

Illawarra is a good go here, they'll keep it close I think

Apparently the tournament was a huge success according to BA, however, there seems to be a lack of information regarding it?

Meant to be naming Australian 3 x 3 teams following the event, haven't heard or seen anything about that?

No figures after games so can't even see how players performed or more importantly who was even in each team?
