Dillard is more in the groove then the entire perth roster st this point. Hard to see perth leaving with the dub

Dillard v Cotton will decide this out come, NZ for mine.

Typical they miss a blatant shot violation from nz and it gets them a three...

Prather is overrated. He cant pass to save his life. Cant put the ball on the floor.

See

Not sure why perth dosent run many plays for knight.

Has Cotton even scored?

How is that not continuation?

Yawn fest. Dillard individually is fun to watch but this is being grounded out, breakers need to get out and run. Cats don't look a happy team, body language etc guess I'd be pissed if I was good enough to play at this elite level and had to put up with my coach being a whinging jerk. Cotton has been a complete non factor. Don't expect that to last, so breaker will need to be clutch from the arc.

Standard of the refs has gone down the toilet

Prather is a selfish ballhog turnover prone overrated player

NZ getting as3way with murder

I can't even watch games anymore, the refereeing is appalling

Feels like the wildcats can't hit an open jump shot to save their lives.

Impressed to see Julie Hornbagg being interviewed.

When the breakers callers are even saying the refs are helping the breakers you know it is bad

Perth scores by quarter - 18, 16, 13, ...
how low can they go?

Cotton misses an open 3, Penny hits an open 3. That's the difference, no wildcat knows how to shoot.

Reggie Miller and Ray Allen had HOF careers by moving off the ball

If perth could hit even 1/3rd of their shots they would in front.

People say perth get home cooking? When you miss shot clock violation, goaltend and double dribble Lloyd in the home teams favour that is the definition of home cookinG. I haven't even mentioned the multiple soft calls against the cats, esp damo

Cats stop jacking up 3's
Refs stop making soft ass calls.

1/14

Cats looked depressed. Fun to see. Breakers have some serious weapons. Penney moving well Abercrombie could really tilt them into title contention.

Why did Perth even bother flying down there

Wildcats shooting 8℅ from the 3pt line, no wait they just missed another one...

Oh hey Cotton, glad you could make it

With 5.03 left in the game Perth pass there score of 57 From there first trip to NZL this season.

Perth can blame their pathetic shooting for this loss.

also their pathetic coaching

Penny with a gift foul called against Cotton, yet prather not fouled down the other end... please this is a joke nbl. Perths shooting is woeful, the fact the officiating is worse is scary

I feel like Perth doesn't really care about this one and is focusing on the last 4

When DKD misses you know its bad

NZ have played terrible yet will probably still win by double digits. Wow

I can shoot better than any wildcat when I'm blindfolded.

Man i love the cats but Jesus when they 3's aren't dropping stop shooting them

21 turnovers, still up by 9

Damn perth might be the worst offensive team in the last 5 or so years

Prather looks so unhappy.

Unbeliveble if perth could hit anything they would be wining. just amazing

Refs fucking the game up again. They can't even count to 9.

Any other team would of put breakers away by 20+

Refs are by far the worst offensive team in the league

Here we gooooo. Cats can't make shot, the schedule isn't the problem. If you don't like the schedule then don't play in the comp. Both teams haven't been good but when push comes to shove the breakers had the answers offensively as they have more options. Deal with it.

23 turnovers

What is going on

my god see perth if u actually could hit anything it is game over

Still a scheduling issue? Still the refs fault?

The 3 faggots decided it yet again

Refs saying hey don't forget about us

Smart play by kenny. Real good heads up stuff

Yeah its tough when Kenny puts 2 hands on his player and restricts him from getting the ball that the refs thinks it's an unsportsmanlike foul.
Stick to playing women'stennis .

The ball was in play for about 3 seconds...Never heard of an automatic unsportsmanlike foul either.

Redhage one foot over the baseline then. refs missed it. Should have been an automatic unsportsmanlike

Gleeson walks onto the court for an unofficial time out. Tech not given.

NZ nearly managed to come up with another t/o with an over and back at half court

Well this is dragging on when honestly it's not possible for the cats

Why cant Cotton play like this all the time?

I think Perth Seasons over

So what's the ladder position now?

Automatic tech. SFF

Can we stop making predictions based on who the latest team to lose is?

Such a fantastic result! Always great when the Perth Wildcats lose. Breakers got the win in a ugly cat type game. Well done and as a 36er fan the breakers need to be worried about!

Dazz will know.

Good fight by the cats. That unsportsmanlike foul made it tough

Cottons style is perfect for perth because he can speed the game up. Perth's problem was their terrible shooting. If they hit 1/3rd of their 3's they would have won quiet easily. Not sold sold on the breakers

What a way to ruin a game! that unsportsmanlike foul was abysmal, Dillard has as much of Kenney as he did of Dillard!

4 pt game when NZ hit a three after a shot clock violation was missed on them and the golatend they got away with, that Cat haters is a 5 point swing!

How could i forget the dribble into a double team, pick up the dribble then dribble out that was not called.

Absolute joke of a game, refs decided it as per usual.

Also don't give me the Perth needed to shoot better crap, NZ gave us enough extra opportunities to make up for that, this was pure and simple disgusting officiating with an huge home court bias, I mean when Casey Frank is saying the cats are getting stiffed it must be true!!

Grow up, get over your bias and simply admit high quality basketball was the looser today, it was offence vs defence and we were all robbed of the chance to see which would prevail.

That was one of the worst officiated games in a long while but if perth actually hit some of their shots it would not have matterd.

possession at the beginning of the quarter also counts

Not sure what more Brandt has to do to earn more minutes?He gives the Cats a legit low post scorer.

Feel sorry for the poor souls in the top 4 who have to face Adelaide soon. top 4 will come down to the last game of round 19, and honestly the streak as cool as it is has to end some day and maybe it will take some pressure off the players. some questionable calls for NZ and Perth The tech on Dillard for being angry with himself etc.

Someone will poach Brandt next season if Gleeson continues on his stubborn path of not giving him enough minutes.

I said it earlier Prather is overrated. He has terrible decision making ability. He cant pass, he is to turnover prone and has way to many defensive breakdown. Carter was destroying him all night.

He's also playing with injury.

yes don't worry we haven't missed you banging on about it all night

Was the worst officiated game since last Friday... Kenny was man handing Dillard. It is what it is, glad he was picked up on it. Crucial time to make the ref make a decision.

Mystifying that Cotton dose not play like that for more minutes. For majority of the night he looked scared to even shoot the ball but he finally decided i'm going to take over in the 4th. He needs that mindset for more minutes.

Prather is playing like crap because his buddy JJ was canned and he aint happy. Plus he dosent mesh with Cotton.

Um no. He is injured.

Wildcats fan nance is having an almighty sook on twitter

Respond to her there then.

Considering the simplicity of the missed calls goal tend, shot clock and double dribble (non contact calls) I would suggest it is the worst officiated game.

"Was the worst officiated game since last Friday... Kenny was man handing Dillard. It is what it is, glad he was picked up on it. Crucial time to make the ref make a decision."

And Gliddon's hip made contact with Cotton shooting a game winning shot, so by your own argument you shouldn't need to bring up last Friday.

The issue here is that Perth lost 2pts, and NZ scored 3 of a missed shot clock in a 4 pt game ( not sure after illi's double dribble if NZ scored), that is inexcusable to miss, that is on the refs and those calls have cost the game.

The crap fouls go either way (everyone is bias here) but these are simple rules that were messed up badly.

is it time for Wagstaff to just be benched permantly he is a liability and can't shoot but thinks he can. I would be increasing Brandts minutes along with DKD and reducing the minutes of Hire.

I think the issue was that Dillard was holding Kenny as well.

Brandt has just as much range as Knight I remember he could even shoot the 3 at the Kings last season. I would try the McKay and Brandt combo as Wagstaff is giving them nothing right now.

I thought the ball was in play when the US was called.

Gleeson has never been a good offensive coach in his 1st year he struck gold by getting Ennis an NBA standard offensive talent who carried Perth to the title. In 2016 he had a front court loaded with talent.

Even then he managed to he was not using Jawai in the right manner.

Bevo didn't have an offensive legacy. Gleeson sure inherited his defensive legacy though.
