Is the pope a catholic?
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Does Spalding make hoops?
Is this game too bad to bother discussing?

" Is this game too bad to bother discussing?"
I was going to ask why that's yes and then I saw the score
Simon Mitchell getting exposed as a bad defensive coach. Three years in the league and three times his teams are always near the bottom end of defensive rating according to spatialjam
As soon as I saw Derek Rucker commentating I turned off. The guy is the low of lowlife's. Cannot believe he is allowed back after what he did
Brisbane looking good, very team oriented. Players like Cadee, Drimic playing better than ever.
People so reactionary.
Brisbane leading - they look great best they ever have!
Brisbane lose to Tasmania and NZ - these guys still suck nothing has changed
Smart decision by Brisbane signing JD to coach. Kings had him in there as an assistant but never looked at him.

Great to see both SRPs from China go head-to-head. IMO, and the stats show that Lui (Bullets) won this one over Qi (Phoenix).
However, Brisbane are confounding me. They lose to teams that they 'should' have beaten (Tas & NZ) win against teams that we 'should not' have, and split 1 & 1 with the top-team(both times in Perth).
Seems that the balance of this Bullets' roster is just about right. The local contingent is reliable and at least adequate (better than that, really) and their imports, 2 of the 3 anyway, are firing. And Salts' vastly improved results over the last 2-3 games has added strength to (possibly) the weak spot in the roster, the 5's. In fact the stats show that their production was incredibly even at the 5 spot. All shot over 60%, their points, taken and made, lined up pretty well with their time on court as did their rebounds.
Moss is yet to add his talents to the lineup. Surprised that no moves were made to replace (perm or temp) his position (you there, Jeremy k?). Wigness not getting minutes may indicate that he is not the guard they need (you still there, Jeremy ?) or that the team is not 'missing' a guard. Hope that Moss is the guard they need, and is worth the wait. If so, the 'power rankings' should have the Bullets top-4.

It's great to see basketball back and my take away from the game is that Sheila in the crowd certainly copped Sobey’s shoulder to the face... good on Creek for offering to help her up.
No one in the league would have better experience with .... umm nevermind
Well done Bullets very convincing win
Saw Rucker, muted the game. At least wanted to watch it.
