"organic decaf soy lattes"

"latte sippers"

he said it twice!!!!!!!! Classic!!!!!

Prather is going to take minutes away from McCarron, who has been a high-performing glue guy for United this year. It also remains to be seen how Prather will deal with some of Long's efforts on the defensive end too.

Breakers got to many injuries, it's a pity as they would’ve challenged most teams. Melbourne should get this reasonably comfortable. If Glen Rice junior, lives up tp his reputation he might score heavily or put the word on a few United blokes in the tunnel, that might work.

United by 13.

These are the types of games United seem to lose, build some momentum with a couple of really good wins only to be let down with an ordinary loss.

I think United will win, which means the Breakers probably will.

New bloke Rice looking very good early

Why doesn't ater majok get on

Timeout, Shamir is talking and Glen Rice Jr is out the back waving his head around looking into the crowd.

Clearly another arrogant yank who thinks he's too good for the league

I saw Rice Jr looking disinterested too.
Breakers look like a team without any focus.
I don't think they respect Shamir.
Anyone agree?

" Timeout, Shamir is talking and Glen Rice Jr is out the back waving his head around looking into the crowd."

To be fair, he could be looking around for the Breakers Coach and wondering what the f a 'Director of Basketball' is doing talking to the team during the game...

I love when people use the term 'yank', its such a 'get off my lawn, you pesky kids' attitude. Rice Jr has 24 in 17 minutes, sit down.

Rice fouled out, was very good. Why do the breakers never play the third quarter, good game.

Why do the Breakers switch off in the third?

United are already working out hiw they can poach and squeeze Glen Rice Jr onto their roster based on his high scoring stats

Coach Shamir.

1)Vodanavich cannot play centre in the nbl. It is ridiculous.


2) Sek Henry is playing very poorly. You need to give court time based on form and not reputation.

3) basketball is more than guns blazing shooting. You need guys who can set screens, and rebound. Glue guys.

4) Ater Majok. Why does he not play?

Good bye Hopson. Are you nuts?

SO funny watching a team that has no salary cap play another that is restricted by the salary cap.

Breakers to far back to make finals also to small in the four spot.

The Breakers aren't far off the mark. They are missing 3 starters, Henry has t shot the ball while Hopsons been out and Ater Majok is way out of his depth. This is a challenging period but if they can get through it without dropping too many games they will be dangerous at the backend of the season.

After majok out of his depth. He hardly got on the court. U can't blame him. Is it idiot night on here tonite

He's got bricks for hands, inflexible on low catches, and isn’t strong enough. Vodanovich might not be tall but he’s strong. Did you see how often a Majok gave away an offensive board because of bad position and lack of strength?

CG never been as good, it's the hair cut.

Majok sets screens, blocks and alters shots, rebounds. Just what the team needs. They look better with him out there.

Mike, you mean when Rice ran at him, tucked himself and basically hip and shouldered Chris on this shot? lol.. More salt? If the call was anything like the one which Abercrombe was awarded, where two United players collided with EACHOTHER in front of him, and he was given the four point play, then I could see your point.. but no mention of that play in the same game? Fair enough. Salt.

Even if it wasnt called a foul, the 3 still went in, so technically the bonus free throw didn't cost them the game with the 3 point margin

More like Majok sets bad screens, tries to block shots and gives away position for rebounds.

For what it's worth, I had high hopes for Majok. But as the season has gone on it's become clear that he's not as athletic as he used to be and that he has been playing in leagues where he gets away with stuff that he doesn't in the NBL.

Shamir should look at video of majok playing for lebenon versus the tall blacks. Gave the tall blacks a lot of problems. Much better centre than vodanovixh lol.

Sets good wide screens. Hopefully Shamir makes adjustement

It depends, RJD. That shot was deep and there wasn't anything contrived about Goulding's form. But there are some players that start kicking out right on the 3pt line.

Majok against the Tall Blacks was awesome. I think the Breakers probably expected him to bring some of that. But he just hasn't been the same. Prior to the Cairns game he hadn't trained much, maybe he is playing injured?

"Looks to me that he is finding the speed of the NBL a huge challenge."

100%.

He has got to get on to find it a challenge.

I don't know what games Paul and Anon are watching, bc we need a centre out there, and vodanavich is not a centre

I've watched every Breakers game since time immemorial.

You’re right, Vodanovic isn’t a centre at this level (who I coached as a junior, by the way). But you should consider that Shamir sees both Majok and Tom in practice and it says a lot that he trusts Tom out there more than Majok.

Yes perhaps Shamir has been saying they have hardly had time for a practice since the beginning of the season though. Kind of blows that theory up
