It can't be said enough. NBL refs are the worst in all of professional basketball.

I'm not certain the refs have had an influence, been a cracking game.

Cats motoring, the two Mac's out hurts JJs big time.

Very entertaining so far. BC cooking.

BC enjoying himself today

Tassie transition D abysmal this half. Not like them at all.

Oh my

JJs look exhausted, not surprising, cats on fire though.

Island colinised at this rate

Cats by 22 at halftime. Rillie got his critics but cats looking outstanding.

Ok Cats, show yourselves the money this half
$$

Awesome 1st half, but i fear if they stop Bryce they stop us.

No cats are more than just Bryce, yes he's clearly magnificent but he’s got good players with him, starting with Windler, Almansa, Doolittle etc.

Rucker resides in Cottons butt hole.

Good is a strong word. It's a pretty ordinary cast around him, IMO.

Good thing Rucker isn't in charge of the reviews

Really shits me watching this, SEM flogs the JJ's in Tassie, Perth are destroying them in Tassie yet my heartless 36ers somehow manage to lose to them there. Just shows how piss weak the Sixers really are.

Good to see Scott Roth play his DPs for a change

Clearly Roth has given up on this game with the 5 he had on the court to end the third.

Hummer is a complete bust

Cats as a team are playing very, very well, yes Cotton is the leader of the band. Even Roth in the end can't make all rough diamonds into studs, you still need quality with them. Magnay and MacDonald massive outs. Hummer been very useful but he’s more blue collar.

Only one of these JJs DPs that I see having a decent career in the NBL is Stoddart

Garbage time doesn't get much more garbagey than this :/

To be fair most DP's don't turn out to be much. Unless they're 36ers DP's then they turn into something elsewhere Kyle Adnam, Ben Ayre, Michael Harris etc.

After a great start the game fizzled out. Cats get top two they are a chance. JJs I can't see causing much trouble in finals, to much left for to few at present, should qualify as the chases are not travelling that well.

Are our commentators so dumb that they don't remember that EVERY YEAR the Wildcats have to do a string of away games due to RAC hosting tennis?
The Cats plan and build their season around it. Players like Wagstaff have spoken about it before.
Yet commentary talk like it's weird and unfair because they get 3 or 4 in a row at home to finish the season.

Hummer is just woeful, why bring a undersized "blue-collar" guy in when they need other things. As Charles Barkley said
"If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can’t play a lick. Same thing."

Windler with 2 steals/4 blocks alongside a 15pt/10reb double double. Perfect complimentary player, one of the most underrated defenders in the comp too.

JJs with a ridiculous fixture over the past week - I assume due to their appearance at the FIBA Intercontinental Cup earlier in the season?

Are our commentators so dumb

Just back from the game .....very unlike JJ game as pointed out no transition defence.


Masterclass from Cotton


Roth played the kids from half way through the 3rd.

It's hard to keep lifting when main pieces are out for long periods.

Yep without Magnay and Seany Mac the load was to big for the others. Doyle tried to take the game on but ......

PW, that intercontinental cup was done before the regular season started, no reason that would properly affect their regular season fixture, and as you say the insane fixture

It doesn't make sense then.
