Love to see Brisbane win this, Melbourne will be knowing it's probably the final shot. Who can mark Paterson for United and will Trimble light it up for United. Melbourne been horrible till last Wednesday but Bullets can choke from winnable positions.
Toss up Melbourne by 1, hopefully I’m wrong.

Won't be close. United are terrible. Bullets by 20

Biggest game of the season for each team - let's go bullets.

Are you implying United get favourable treatment from the refs? Probably happened in some games... as it has for all other teams. Poor referring overall this season, but haven't noticed any team being consistently favoured.
Anyway, United are so bad, nothing could save them!

I'm tipping what your inferring in point 2 Air Delay is actually illegal and a criminal offence. So I’d suggest highly unlikely.

Air delay gone mad, how's that going to happen.

As a Breakers fan I don't want anyone to win this, lol.

Trimble and Barlow on the bench, Kidd and Acuil starting! Wow let's see if this helps

Once again the aggressors get away with it... note brisbane habe come out ahead multiple times with this tactic

> But strike me dowm if UTD haven't had the best 'rub of the green' out of all the teams over the course of this season.

Just as you say that united pick up two rough Ts

Ridiculous technical there! Do the refs hate basketball? Some "rub of the green" that!

Two horrible calls on Brisbane, defenders are supposed to have position for it to be called a charge,

And ppl on this forum like homicides commentating.

Says it all really

Trimble on fire

Seriously, how does the NBL come together and say "you know what, let's renew homicides contract".

Sobey making Trimble look like a super star. If not for Hodgson playing his best game Brisbane would be gone. Melbourne are not getting beaten from here.
Agree on homicide, it's woeful and imo hooley not much better.

So United are going to make it to the playoffs after all. I'm sure the NBL will be happy.

Rebounding will cost United this game and the season

Brisbane's shooting is unbelievably bad today

Gave mello too much credit earlier in competition. Defensively very lazy. Overates his own ball handling ability. Very poor decision maker. Good open shooter though. Be interesting how he goes down the stretch in this one.

Rebounding shouldnt cost united? Mr dbl
Dbl!!!!!'

You're not winning a game while giving away 25 offensive rebounds...

Give it up for Taylor Braun. His one job in the second half was to focus on Trimble and did a good a job as you could after Trimbles first half.

LV will be livid.

Congrats Brisbane. Playoffs confirmed.

Cracking game. Thanks for Santa in the commentary box as the other two are woeful. Patterson is the real mvp. Trimble and Goulding can't play in the same team, both require so much of the ball, again Trimble can score a million but side doesn’t win. Hodgson was fantastic, best game I’ve seen him play. Cadee playing much better under Lemanis. Millionaire Melbourne what can you say, just a bad mix of players, what were they thinking when they put this squad together.

Brisbane still need one more win, nz @ Brisbane, Perth @ Perth, Cairns @ Brisbane, all hard contests.

Breakers and Bullets are both getting it done at the right of the season... 4th spot battle is great for the game

Who would have thought...

Brisbane, the most 'unbalanced' roster in the comp, turns their season around with a 6 game win streak fueled by great team play along with some inspired individual performances (Patterson pretty much every game, Magnay’s emergence as an elite rim protector, and Hodgson’s game today)

And... effectively eliminate one of the two pre-season favourites, with had one of the most impressively assembled rosters in league history, one who today looked extremely unbalanced!

Trimble had a great game but it’s clear him and Goulding struggle to play together as he struggled to get going with Melo dominating the ball. Long’s season started out really well, but as the season went on, his dominance really waned. They really missed Prather being a closer for them but it’s clear he’s going to struggle to get back to his best. His replacement Kidd had some moments but was ordinary at best. Another re-build looming for MU!

The poor standard of referees clearly on display again.
Kidd should have got an additional Tech for headbutting Vikona in the elbow?

^ The refereeing has been consistent all season. Consistently bad.

Goulding's last game at United?

Probably not Gouldings last game seeing as there are 3 games to go... But if there is a Tassy team in 2021 he would have to go wouldnt he??

Tasmania team 21-22 so season still in between, he's no spring chicken any more either.

Melb Untied. Cough. Bye.
