Right on both last two posts.

Our D and rebounding is POOR

New Zealand taking full advantage of our non-existant defence by pulling out the party tricks

[brod]

Why does Balls pick up his dribble so quickly, then have to pass around the free throw line??

At least we played some D in that quarter. if we can stop the EASY points we can win this

Our defence (or lack of) lost it for us, NZ just got too many lay ups

[CK]

The only real positive for the night for me was having Thomas Abercrombie as my captain in NBL Dream Team (scored 100 from that game alone, and one more game for him this round). We allowed NZ just too much latitude to work into space in the last term and our defence lost that edge off the boards, allowing NZ to work numbers through the key with ease.

Just not sure about our set ups and structure with this line up, but also don't see a lot of alternatives. In fairness, the Breakers are red hot at the moment and most teams would have struggled to contain that.

A few interesting results, that 36ers/Breakers game last night was a cracker.

In complete contrast to the Crocs and Kings game. One thing noted early on is, overall, this version of the Kings plays a very boring brand of basketball

I never thought much could be expected of them given their personnel.

Hawks just looking too good for the Tigers in this one.
