Tacko could have a field day with no Magnay

Just one Magnay block on Tacco would have been priceless!

Pick n roll with Tackos man and the JJ guards will have 50 plus by halftime.
And Tacko might have a few of his standing dunks, but he's had a career of hardly dominating despite his size.

Looking forward to watching this afternoon and it's great to see the NBL scheduling these Christmas Day games and getting a monopoly on live sport.

Bookies have it about right with Tasmania at $1.25 and 9.5 Line.

JJs easily, feel for coach Kop and PJC, had this team doing well only to be turned up side down. So many breakers players lost form since the change, talk about bad ownership. JJs just doing what's needed to get to finals, Roth is a cunning operator, yes Magnay is a loss but JJs just starting to flex. Hopefully it’s an entertaining game to keep the non basketball punters ready for the main course, kings v hawks.

The poop platter before the main course.

What Dunkman said, I feel for Coach Kop and PJC. Management unnecessarily meddling with the squad has changed their trajectory remarkably downwards. Not Tacko's fault, but blindly freddy could see he’s a poor fit for our league. I feel for Breakers fans.

Expecting the game to be close, but only because Tassie will play slow, which somewhat suits the crawl the Breakers come to when Tacko is on the flop and they’re spoon feeding him.

Jacks by 5.

Blowout to JJs by 20+. If % matters, then this is a game to get a big win to improve the %.

I agree with you, Dunkman & Ben - one single dumb owner decision seems to have basically destined Breakers to battle for the wooden spoon, in which case Kop and PJC won't be returning despite being well-suited to the league.

That was a fantastic intro lol

Again nothing against Tacko but where has he been successful. Totally dumb move.

Cool Xmas strip for the Jacks.

NZ's sucks. They used it last game, doesn't contrast well for tv. Can't really see any text/numbering.

No Lopez, no hope. lol.

3 from 8 free throws nz, can't afford to miss those.

Crawford is so fun to watch when he's hot

Crawford is gun, surprised at seasons start they took so long to sign him. JJs just doing enough to keep in front, plenty in reserve. Nz really trying to, PJC should have 10 assists but they can't hit an open three. Players like Mennenga, King, Bairstow have regressed badly since season start, plus got make their free throws. So far it’s been an entertaining contest.

If they start calling three seconds Tacko, they better call them on all players loitering in there

Scrappy game this, fun though

God I love water brown

Mooney been horrible, Tacko plus 15 Mennenga minus 21, Bolden minus 12. Tells you a lot.

It never ceases to amaze me how often Gaze has absolutely no clue what's going on yet is so confident in his claims.

Alright, PJC totally pissed off, should be, but got keep in control. Total lol.

Why do nz players always come in second, Loe, Illi, Terangi.

Spicy stuff in Tassie

Match descending in to a mockery.

These 2 teams are on remarkably different trajectories

Only for 10 seconds, but shoutout to Nick Stoddart on the NBL debut

Breakers can't shoot free throws, can’t shoot threes and got to many poor, poor defenders, you just can’t rely on PJC certainly now that he’s totally disgusted with what has gone on.

Deng and Crawford been really good, JJs just no how to get it done, they nearly unbeatable at Hobart, it’s like Perth was in the old days, dominating with crowd noise and also able to get the close decisions, plus dominating coach, it’s the real package.

Shout out Michael Aylen as well, handled that situation very well with the other refs help.

You're right Dunkman. Could’ve been a real shit show there. Cooler heads prevailed.

PJC should have been ejected and should be spending several weeks on the sideline. Inexplicable that he was allowed to continue playing.

Don't agree, thought refs got it right. It did look ugly though.

Pushing a referee to the ground is unacceptable in any sport in the world.

Should have been ejected.
The fact a referee had to hold him back suggests there was a real concern that he was going to lash out at someone, and him pushing a referee...what is that message sending to viewers?

I thought Te Rangi got off very lightly...

It's farcical that PJC wasn’t ejected. He aggressively pushed not one but two referees, knocking one of them to the ground. That’s a lengthy suspension in any sport. He was lucky to get such understanding refs.
