this game all depends on which Wildcats team shows up.

The one that destroys the Hawks and pushes Melbourne United.

Or the one that looses consecutive games to Townsville.


Webster and Cedric gonna be a problem for Kenny.

Crocjaw - classic!!

Lol at Crocjaw, Damien Crocjaw Martin

I'm expecting a 15 point win. Prather to have his first 30 point game.

without Martin to harass Webster it's hard to go past NZ by double figures.

Can't wait, should be a classic game, I expect NZ to get up at Vector, only just but this season is proving hard to tip...

Haha CrocJaw is better than Ant Man and Mosquito combined

Decent recovery from the Cats I thought. A lot of unlucky rolls on decent-percentage shots.

That's one thing about Perth. I think they're moving the ball a lot better these last couple games

Jawais short fuse is an issue. That and he's playing straight up trash to how he should be in this league.

That Jawai foul should be looked at by the NBL.

Abercrombie had the ball in a position that wasn't too close to his head. Not sure how Jawai makes such brutal contact with his head.

Not saying he should get weeks but it should be looked at

Enjoying this Jawai Pledger battle.
From a cats pov, pretty pleased to be down only 7 right now. Keep it within 10 and we've escaped a poor half pretty well

HAHAHAHA "That is like being hit by a leg of lamb". Best NBL line that has ever come out of New Zealand

Just waiting for Jermaine's ankles to be broken..

Abercrombie had the ball in a position that wasn't too close to his head. Not sure how Jawai makes such brutal contact with his head.

When Beal or Knight have stinkers, it's usually bad sign.. when both are having stinkers.. well..

Charles in charge

beck to ilivin

Bring in Jervis

For several years running now, NZ has had the worst commentators in the league.

Wonder at what point tonight, if any, the Cats posts will have enough of being Jackson's bitch

Because the Australian commentating has been so great?

Jackson ran straight into Jawai for him to be called for the offensive foul lol

Don't take it personally mystro. Not everything is an "us vs you" scenario.

Don't think Beal is entirely to blame for those last few plays. He got a terrible pass from Wagstaff, and then no one was moving on the offence when he got trapped baseline.

WOo sivin

Rimgate 2015

"Redhage, has spent about 1/4 of his career on the floor..."

lol

who's us? You made the comment and I pointed out the other side of the coin.

f#cken wibster

Not our night.

All over

No ankle break, no alpha dog Beal.

Well done again to the New Zealand national team!!

Correct. We definitely did not deserve to win that one.

Always a great day when the wildcats lose.

Did you see last nights score, 147? You lost to the bottom team!!

Imagine how good Perth would be if they took this league seriously. Sign an injury replacement for Martin instead of running with no true pg, and stop with the charity roster spots to Hire and Wagstaff and actually sign some skilful basketball players.

Supernomtendo stop deflecting, perth are 6-4 loaded team all the perks, u dear performing

U dear bro?

Anyway, Sixers got thumped by the bottom team last night.

Gleeson can't coach for shit bad subs in the 4th especially when Jervis was running a muck to get them back in the game

Super wildcats lost to Townsville twice how bad is that.

Breakers deserved that win! I picked Perth to lose by more but they have a habit of sticking in games. Corey Webster and Charles Jackson were great tonight.

Tom Jervis is a starter in most teams , he needs to Start next year.

My team might have lost but dam I enjoyed that game and I'm loving this season so far.

Adelaide got thumped by the bottom team last night.

Great to get some minutes out of Vukona and Charles Jackson has well and truely found his feet in the league. Was better at keeping out of foul trouble for the most part and put himself in the right place a lot of the time and gets up and down the court really well.

A fit and healthy Abercrombie is awesome but an aggressive one offensively is even better.
Sorry Jack but Mitch Creek needs to spend a few more years working on his jump shot before he's anywhere near the player Tommy is.....

The fact your seeing Perth and Adelaide being beat by the bottom 2 teams speaks volumes about the quality of the NBL this year. I don't think there are any guaranteed wins this year. Crocs have been close to beating United(the top team) and Sydney have been unlucky with injuries. It's on like donkey kong for the top 4 this year.

I agree Train, the league is so close any team can beat any team if they don't turn up and play their guts out for the full 40mins.
Townsville are tougher than their record suggests as are the Kings.

They lost by 147.

But they didn't, despite playing so poorly. So does that make them good or just ordinary?

They're clearly the second best team in the league right now. I don't think so much focus should be on how bad they are.

I'd prefer the win but I'm happy with an 8 point loss to Breakers in NZ after playing 2 days earlier.

Its funny on here , after a while you can see who are fans of the NBL aswell as their clubs and those who are just fans of their respective clubs. Purchasing Foxtel has been a great decision.

^^ and that had nothing to do with playing the current #2 team in the league lol :P

Obvious troll is obvious.

Both teams without players who can make a big difference in Martin & Wesley.
At least the refs didn't decide who would win his week and the theatrical flops were at a minimum.

Perth looked really lisless and tierd in the opening half. Looked a little bit better in the last, but the burden of not having you're best perimeter defender against a team with the likes of Webster and comin off a tight game where they used every ounce of energy just a couple of nights ago told in the end. Beal looked tierd and virtually had no lift on his shots.Knight the same thing.

Perth dose not usually get monster on the boards but the Breakers really did a good job in that regard.

Writing off a Perth team that played 2 nights ago in a up and down game, played without their best perimeter defender and their top two players had shockers and despite the Breakers playing at their peak and got within 3 in the last despite all that Is not really smart.

Despite nowhere near their best they had a chance to win if Beal played anything close to 50% of hat he usually does.

So are you admitting to being a troll then? Good for you, enjoy the "banter"

Great comeback!

Chalmers dude stop biting, they keep going because you keep nibbling at it! Just had a read through this, so guess there was a game on, and the Breakers took care of business!

I'm not bothered by it Kobe.

Charles Jackson starting to come good!

Watching the replay now on fox, Charles Jackson.. wow. What a 3rd Q. Lots of people were calling for his head to start the year.

I will put my hand up and say I was one calling for his head but happy to say I stand corrected! Still a bit foul prone but has great energy, good rebounding and is scoring!!

If anything, this game shows that Perth are the ONLY contenders to possibly challenge MU in the finals.

Unfortunately we can now add the Breakers to the list of teams that have figured out that if you stop Beal, you stop the Cats.
Lack of replacement for Martin is worrying.
Kenny has been a great pickup as a backup PG, but relying on him for 24 minutes is a stretch.

"If anything, this game shows that NZ are the ONLY contenders to possibly challenge MU in the finals."

Fixed.

In case you failed to notice, United's offence has been dismantled by Cairns/Fearne.
Anyone can now see how it was done.
United's back-up offence needs work, as their coach conceded.
Melbourne will be hard to dislodge from the top of the table but there will be a tightly grouped bunch of teams ready to do it.
