What was Forde saying to the camera? At the pub and don't have sound

Could not hear what Forde was saying but he wasn't happy.
Rucker stating the Cairns have the beast eight players in the league.
I never though I say this but bullets need Cadee on the court more than Sobey.
Bach is doing well, much better than Krebs.
Brisbane trail by 4, if they can cut the turnovers and don’t shit their pants like previous second half they could win.
While Pinder is still doing well he certainly struggles on big bodies like Baynes, Harrison.
Rucker is a nightmare on the sideline, I’ll even take Heal ahead of him.
Hogg is a fantastic pick up for Cairns, great at both ends.

What a run by Cairns after Brissy got up by 5.
So fun to watch.

Cairns defensively turned it up and now they are running away with it

David Newbill can't come soon enough for the Bullets, if they were indeed sniffing around him.

I wouldn't think Newbill Japanese club would release him.

I haven't followed closely, but his name was mentioned on a broadcast like two weeks ago? Silly me assuming that he would be available if comment was being made?

Sobeys shot selection ruined any chance of a Brisbane comeback

Sobey has been terrible, Brisbane sub like under twelves, everyone got get ago. Brisbane also got so many dumb players.

Exactly some very low iq players in Sobey, Harrison, Krebs, Bach and if Cadee is your starting pg you're not going to get very far.

That pull up 3 by Mitchell on the 2 on 1 break down 75-74, was brutal. Brisbane stayed close on the scoreboard, but never ever truly looked likely.

Cairns such a modern bball team. Full of versatile players, athletes who can defend multiple positions plus shoot threes.

Mccall won them the game by fouling out. Cairns should move him on.

More like Duncan won them that game. Brisbane, on paper, isn't bad. But Duncan isn’t utilising his pieces effectively.

Duncan is not dishing up what marquee Sobey is, it's been horrible. Baynes while being ok hasn’t been dominant either. Your two top Australian players got be a lot better. Johnson as an import again been ok but not what you expect from an import.

Baynes utilisation is poor. The man is huge in the NBL. But they don't create anything close to the bucket for him. I’d have loved to see Baynes on the Wildcats or Breakers.

Baynes is shooting 45% on twos, and if you take out the one Hawks game where he bullied the worse team in the league he's 20/49. Yes they need to get him more inside touches, but it's not like he's currently a dominant force who would change their fortunes.

Their biggest issue is closing out games, because they've been in a position to win all but one, and getting the ball in Johnson's hands more late should be a big priority.

He's incredibly efficient, playing like a top Euroleague club import, but Brisbane need him to sacrifice a bit of that to be more prolific.

Apart from that, this club had just been riddled with horror brainfades ever since they came back into the comp. Tough to support them I'd imagine.

"Tough to support them I'd imagine."

Understatement of the year, sadly.

Was a Sobey fan as a 36er. Gee he's a bit of a showboat though, wonder if his attitude is a factor in Brisbanes woes? I don’t know the guy but he comes across a bit self centred.
Another tough season for the Bullets. Be nice to see them strong again, even as a 6er fan.

He was pretty much the same when with the Taipans.

I always though he seemed a bit of a flog with the Sixers but he was definitely a good player so happy to overlook!!

Totally forgot Sobey was ever with Cairns

When you realise someone like Sobey did very little until the Age of 26, with JLA and Pinder similar more recently, it's pretty exciting to think what someone like Okwera could become since he's 20 and already playing minutes. With his physical gifts, if he applies himself could become as much of a star as those guys
