Mystro, this Breakers team is crap and still have an ordinary coach.

Matt Walsh has been a disaster for that club.

Is anyone else on Kayo getting interrupted coverage???

Thanks Zodiac for your sharing your in depth analysis. I feel like I really learnt something.

Kayo stream is blurry af

36ers are worse than the Breakers.

It's unsurprising your basketball life is so bitter.

If the Sixers had to play on the road all season they'd be performing worse than the Breakers.

Jumpers will fade in the second half as well so the gun may have been jumped.

When does Shamir get sacked?

Definitely dropped a few f bombs at home, Breakers just can't get it done man, I don't know what it is. The players are good, but we just seem to be like Adelaide and can't get it done. 0 - 6 does look to mean no finals for us but I do hope we can get some big wins still!

Thought Jackjumpers punished defensive mistakes excellently and deserved to win.

How could any team not just the 36ers be worse performing when NZ haven't won a game lol

I do disagree #722, I don't think other coaches like Forde or Vickerman would allow defensive lapses like we have. They wouldn't be scared to bench a starter for making a mistake.

Yep, imagine their headspace right now with the COVID situation plus the Christmas period away from family thrown in on top.

"On points differential. Their loss against an NBL1 Taipans was an all-time shocker.“

See your point but in general points differential or not any team that goes 0-6 would be pretty hard to say something is worse.

A loss is a loss

NZ were well beaten and looked nothing like the side that pushed SEM and Illawarra.
They looked flat footed and their shooting was woeful. Outside shots that would normally drop were bricks. They def look deflated.

Does anyone actually know the situation with Mikhailovskii?

Attitude problem, meaning he wants to be the star of the team or?

Breakers on paper should be a nice team. What they do on court looks fine. It's just weird to me that it keeps coming up short so consistently. Whereas Adelaide do not pass the eye test. Do not have a good point guard. Yet have fumbled to more wins and a higher position on the ladder.

Living out of a suitcase is not conducive to winning games. You cannot underestimate the importance of sleeping in your own bed and being with family and friends. Having said that, NZ are a professional basketball team.if they had a decent culture they would all be in it together. I just don't see Shamir getting them all on the same page. They have plenty of talent, but he is not capable of getting the best out of them.

I'm just worried these poor results will impact our ability to retain Will and Finn.

Personally, I think the JJs play hard, and when they get beat it's usually through lack of overall talent rather than heart (looking at you Adelaide). Similar situation to Cairns. They need to nail their imports, hopefully find either some diamonds in the rough or foster some young talent, and they might be able to make a run in the future. It’s probably going to always be a bit rougher on them, like it is for most regional clubs (though Hawks looking solid the past two years - hopefully it’s sustainable for them and Goorj doesn’t send them bankrupt).

Rough for NZ. They are a better team than their record suggests. Wetzell, Delaney, WMD is a good local contingent to build on. I could easily see them getting either a little win streak going, or at least playing spoiler for some of the would-be contenders. Just difficult for them to dig out of such a deep hole.

Good summary of yesterday's game; finishing with:

"The reality is that for the JackJumpers, if the offence isn't firing it is going to be an uphill battle for most of the season. However, it is important to point out the defensive excellence when we see it. "
