Brisbane are already the only team to lose to Cairns surely they couldn't do it again.
This game is vital for Brisbane in the playoff race.

Brisbane by double figures.

Appreciate the Joh reference, hah.

Ben, "don't you worry about that"

Bairstow out injured for this game.

Bairstow will be kept busy feeding the chooks.

kinda hard to think on a cairns win agen and the coach is really out of it
making it a ragtime show...

Bairstow out tonight reasonable chance for cairns now.

Cairns showing good intent early on playing positive and things are happening. Hopefully they're able to keep it up. The Bullets don't look switched on.

Only 3 more quarters like this & the Snakes are home!
Impressive 1st Q.

More effort plays from Cairns this first half than the rest of the season combined.

Oh my Jawai over Magnay.

It would be heartbreaking if they manage to lose this one.

Big Nate means business tonight!

Only 2 more Qs like this one... C'mon Snakes!

PS - Is Cam Gliddon even playing? LOL.

Great to see Cairns playing with some intensity.

Hall is looking like a different player tonight.

I also like strempel.

I like this crew to be honest. I thought Wortho was terrible his first couple of broadcasts, but since then I think these guys have some useful things to say and they are far from my least favourite crew.

Not a fan of Trimble after that hard screen, just dawdling around, lucky Kendle didn't get the ball open on the baseline. That's a throwback to Cairns' losing ways.

Strempel is the reason why mute buttons exist.

Is this Kenny guy tonight any relation to that dude that used to play for the Wildcats?

He is the guy who used to play for the wildcats

Yeah, calls have definitely been skewered towards Cairns tonight, have to say. Don't think it's the reason for the lead, but it's a part of why Brisbane haven't been able to get anything flowing.

@ JR; i know ;)

Where has this Cairns team been all season?

I'm half expecting Gliddon to tear off his Bullets jersey after the final whistle to reveal he's been wearing a Taipans jersey underneath all this time.

Hodgson is such an enigma. Reasonably agile for a guy his size, moments of brilliance, but just can't seem to sustain more than a quarter or so of impact each game.

Vintage Cadee leading the break.

I can't believe us Brisbane fans are sitting here just taking this!

This game highlights the importance of Cam Bairstow, hey Jick

Good thing the Bullets have the son of an NBA player coming on board.

Lol Brisbaneworld

Jurlina looks like a bigger Jarrad Weeks. Call him Fortnight

New Hungry Jacks promotion idea - lose to Cairns, and the losing team has to pay for all Hungry Jacks orders in the losing team's state for the rest of the round.

Oh please.. 29 point game and video relay on an obvious shot clock violation

They counted it lol

Oh god. How could they count that, embarrassing.

Seriously. Happy for a young gy to get his first bucket and all, but that's farcical.

Congrats to the Taipans. Good stuff.

Well done to Cairns.. commentators say it's their biggest win in franchise history.. well I didn’t see that one coming

Wouldn't you want your first bucket to be an actual bucket? Although i thought it should’ve counted from first view... not so much replay

It takes a special team to lose to Cairns by 29 and go on to make the Grand Final. This is a special team, the BUZZAS

If AJ Davis, Bullets are in strife!

I think we found Brisbane's bogie team...........

Bullets simply were not the same team without the big Bair.

Did not see that coming

Some idiot put a dead snake on the tracks tonight. Of course it's going to leave a mark

Which other regular national team player is as inconsistent as Gliddon? One day hero and tonight close to zero ..ok 1 point but where was his leadership when needed? Maybe time to send him to the bench and let Gibson start?

@Brisbaneworld LOL, nice one... however I believe your team have barely any fans around to take it! :P

Also this Bullet train is lame. I'm over it. I'm going to call it - Sixers to overtake them. *looks at ladder* - they already have!

Great to see Cairns getting a win, but not overly surprising. Bairstow's absence leaves the Bullets very thin in the frontcourt. With him and the new import they're a different proposition.

When a team makes twice as many 3 pointers as you you normally win.
Good to see the Taipans finally shot the three ball like they thought
they would all season .

Great for the Cairns fans to finally get a win, and keeps things a little interesting regarding Brisbane.
Good to see Kenny among the points, I always thought he had more to give.

But yeah, Bairstow is a big out for them, what is his injury? How long is he out for?
WTF happened to Gliddon? Only took 3 shots the whole game?

jawai got some minutes at this game and that helped ...

Gliddon is yet another fine example of your quintessential passive NBL player.

Gliddon has always been overrated. He churns out a handful of big games a season which sucks people into thinking he's a star and then spends the rest of the season doing not much or even disappearing completely.
