With not all pre-season games being streamed, can we have a place where people can provide their write ups of the games.
Just for details with how teams are meshing. Who's stepping up, how imports and going etc.

GordonG saying a player was "very very good" is barely insightful.
Taking issues with it repeatedly isn't insightful either.

Oklahoma University def Cairns Taipans 110-85
Generous calling this a Taipans team, really a bunch of potential DPs and young talent jostling for court time, backed up by the remnants of the worn out Marlins team that gave the Sunshine Coast Rip a good caning only 24 hours beforehand. I went along hoping to see the imports suit up, but what we got was a revved-up bunch of college kids playing the barest scrapings of a team. Even Damon Heuir, usually a guarantee of high octane acrobatics was subdued and limped off in the first quarter. Wigness and Stattman were still finding their confidence, and it sounds like they took things up a notch on Tuesday night (sad I missed that). Sorry to the OU woman I was repeatedly kneeinh in the back the whole time, seating at the fishtank isn't really designed for people with a more generous frame.

Most of the Taipans roster played in that game (6 of the 11 guys). Loughton, Weigh, Egwu, Kauny, Weeks & Heuir.
