What about Trigger for MVP candidate.. looks like cairns have figured out how to best utilise him like his dominant season at Melbourne. He has been putting up crazy numbers at a high FG% and if he can rebound he would have to be a front runner for MVP

Cairns pulls out the win but I doubt both teams were playing at 100%.Two contenders for sure.Once the Cats slot Matt Knight in there they'll be downright cary with Ennis, Redhage, WQagstaff, Damo and co.

Burdon 4/4 threes in this game. Three Cats have fouled out.

Cairns scrape home after a late charge by Beal.

The crop of imports this year seems to be very good.

Burdon and Jervis both looking good for cats so far hope it carries into main season. Beal had a shocker...until final minutes of game almost got cats home.

Very happy with the imports across the league this year.

Reports of our adaptation to the referee calls may have been premature.

Burden, 4-4 from 3pt range, you beautiful bastard you. And to think Bartlett had a higher points value.

Were Cairns at full strength for this game?

Zero fast break points for the game for everyone?

Interesting to see Jamar coming off the bench, that could work great as he enters when lesser players are coming on and take over the game.

Would have liked to see Vigor get game time tonight with Jervis fouling out but not to be... Can't wait to see the NBL this season

Weigh finding form early could also make the taipans legit this season
When was the last time the taipans consistently hit 100 pts in a game ?

Obviously in the 48-minute days, and prob not often then. Id say their 2008 team would have put a few points up.

Weigh had 38 points for the Sixers in a pre season game. His regular season was a lot different. Having said that perhaps his current coach will tell him to be more aggressive and make him earn his minutes.

Was a great game last night. Wildcats really struggled to get the ball in the paint and we're really only in the game on the back of their 3 point shooting, but that will change when Knight's back. Cairns has a great lineup and deep roster. Tragardh can focus on his game now with Weigh and Burston around helping out on boards. Weigh has the purest shot in the league. Ennis and Beal sensational. Taipans and Wildcats to finish top two for sure, Wilson sixth man of the year. I think Perth are too good across the board for Redhage to get MVP, even though he is a class act.

I'm loving Jamar off the bench too. Really gives the guys a lift when he come a on. Hopefully his ego allows him to not be a starter and realizes it benefits the team.

I'm hoping that the final few minutes of the game are the kickstart that Beal needs to realise that he can score in bunches and to not play so tentatively, kind of like Lisch in his first season.

I agree with the above poster. Beale can score with nonchalant ease when he attacks the basket.However i think he is finding his way into the team and dosent want to over do it just yet.
