Patterson is still injured.

Patterson is 3 weeks and 300 burgers away from returning

Sobey, Cadee, Law & Hodgson playing?

Abercrombie also locked down Sobey.

Is that the same Trist and Kendle out there? What's Shamir feeding them, both have never looked so good!?

Cadee is the straw that stirs the drink

Froling doing good and Trist as well.

You hit a player in the head and jaw when they are up right it's a foul, but when Delaney dives on a lose ball first he gets jumped on from behind, gets whacked in the jaw and his eye is opened up that he has to go back and get it strapped it’s a jump ball. You tell me.

Something in the NBL that has never improved over the years is reffing import big men. Those calls on Iverson are terrible. I don't know if it’s possible to be any more still and vertical. It’s perfect defence. But they call a foul!?

Luke is the worst caller, just horrible. Tia Webster is another overrated player.

Great to see the Cadee and Froling haters eat a dick.

Yes Froling had a great game against the weakest front court in the league where the opposition starting Center probably whistled out of the game with less than 10 played?

Eat a dick.

Well spotted and a great answer.

That elbow to Finn Delaneys head was clearly deliberate. Dirty play.

Refs consistently terrible, calling fouls that just aren't there..

Cadee and Froling critics eat nothing. They've been horrible all season. This game changes nothing other than they’re one step close to playing 20 better games and being considered good players. Whilst I’m sure it felt good typing on your keyboard you should probably crawl back under your rock.

The interesting thing was that Lamar gave an interview at all. He also looked a lot more animated and happier on the bench. How badly did his Breakers teammates rip into him preseason?

Interesting. Things have been very difficult for the Breakers this season. They don't even have a base, they’re living it hotels. And that’s before all the injuries. Maybe they felt he wasn’t committed enough? Who knows....I’ll be interested to see how Patterson goes when he returns from injury. The bullets seem to think it will be like old times but this is a different team now.

There’s talk of a travel bubble opening in April. Hopefully Breakers can return to NZ and play the second half of the season there.

Very hard fitting in nz with the ball exclusively in the hands of the Webster brothers. Delaney only has just started to play better since Corey has been out. Nz played better last season when Corey went to China. Webster's are very good players individually but I’m not convinced they fit in team that well.

I think the issue with the travel bubble is not all states are going to buy into it (looking at you WA) so that makes it difficult for teams coming back to Australia and where they can enter from there. Will be interesting how it all develops

Front court for the Breakers is an issue. Without Rob Loe it really only leaves Iverson, and when he gets in foul trouble then what?

You would think Rob Loe will return if the travel bubble happens and NZ can go home.

Re: Delaney's head knock - maybe he shouldn't have been doing a Crocodile Deathroll with the ball on the ground. That's why he got injured.

Also, that was a travel. I was there, stupid no-call.

That's a travel in the old rule, not no more, they should have left it as it was, because now a lose ball is like a ruck, everyone diving on it. Delaney got smashed illegally on the ground but they call a jump ball.

You can dive on the ball, you cannot roll over. That has not changed.

Regardless of the travel or no travel, that's not how Delaney got injured. Yes, he got a small cut above the eye from that episode, but the damage was done by Hodgson elbowing him in transition. It looked deliberate and Casey Frank was fuming in the NZ commentary. If NZ still had some enforcers, like Mika, Hodgson was in for a hiding.
