Cairns are playing really well, especially Gliddon. Hitting the boards and depriving the Wildcats of their usual volume shooting advantage.

Not keen to see teams who might threaten the Hawks' finals chances win, but hard not to be barracking for them in this one.

Cats still a chance though.

65-58, Cairns way. Refs disagreeing on the call here? Play to resume without a call? Interesting.

Every win by Cairns brings the Wooden Spoon one step closer. I guess a matching set is always better than a single item . . . .

Salad servers?

+1

Jack - Adelaide only have to tie with Cairns to avoid the spoon. The 36ers are playing well enough to beat Cairns twice. Then they only need Cairns to drop 2 of their 3 games against the top 3 teams. Not to mention that tying with Cairns on 11 wins would be even better for the chances of a higher finish. I think this might actually turn into a good result for Adelaide.

Taipans woohoo!

PJ, I hope so!

just got home from game......Mr Gliddon what a cracker of a game.
usually when rookies have good games its offensive not defensive....well,that kid was every where,his work rate was one of the best i have seen from a rookie.
an old head on young shoulders.
he has been leading up to this game over the last month and fearne has now got him believing in himself.
even though lisch ended up scoring a few,gliddon had the best of that battle.....no easy feat!

PJ Cairns playing pretty consistent ball. Won 4 of last 7 and the three losses all by 3 points. Adelaide did beat them, but outside of that game you couldn't get too excited by Adelaide's form.Could very well be a number of clubs vying for the spoon the way its shaping up. Adelaide clearly favourites based purely on their performances.

on behalf of the Breakers fans, thanks Taipans.

Still scored 72 last night, only problem was they could'nt put the ball in the hole, where cairns shot the ball well. Always a tough place to play and perth have always lost the games they should've won. Nuthin better if perth beat nz in nz to take it all! Melbourne are the dark horse for mine.

Nuthin better if perth beat nz in nz to take it all!

yeah no doubt but it's a big ask especially when they have only lost at home once all year (to Perth)and have only ever lost 1 game at Vector Arena

Think same would go for nz to! Shut up 12, 000. We got to make the gf 1st, then we can talk.

Gliddon signed a 2 year deal, so he'll be in Cairns next season.

Sayin that do count in when nz played a few teams with injuries? Perth havn't been injury free for the past three seasons.

keep searching for excuses.

Just hope ure luck has'nt run out, think in a mini series and playing against a full team? Im not sayin breakers don't deserve where they are but u need a bit of luck along the way

Brilliant game!

I think that was Cairns playing at just about 100% what they're capable of, but if they can keep it up a finals spot might still be on the cards.

...Gliddon!

He looked homesick last night....

hope he doesnt do a Daniel Dillon....and end up nowhere.

He has 1 more year then an option. He'll exercise the option if Cairns are in a position to win it!

He can play. Unfortunately for Dillon he could only talk
