Two lesser teams that have a go. Pinder v Krislovic could be interesting. I feel Cairns are rolling and even though it's an away game for them, they can get this. JJs have exceeded all expectations, just feel the wind might be dropping out of their sails.
Cairns by two.

Are Zimm and McCall suiting up?

McCall is 'back in the lineup.'
Not sure about Zimm.

Snakes better without zim. Even McCall, to many turnovers and some dumb plays, energetic yes though.
Yup

I like Bach, just gets no burn, would be great in tassie, seems like a Roth kinda guy

Taipans in control at the half. Noi is still a horrible defender. McVeigh has improved immensely.

JJs back right in it, machado down, looked like Achilles.

JJs by seven, machado injury hurt cans. McCall minus 24, Pinder minus 18. Cairns have the bones of a good side, should chase a back up point guard, possibly Naar, a defensive two, three that can hit outside shot. Noi poor.
JJs just keep rolling, McVeigh good, Bairstow good down the stretch.

Spot on summary Dunkman, Cairns has a solid core. Gutsy win from the JJ's down by 10 at the half.

Gawd, the world is full of spin.
Forde saying how well the Taipans rallied because and after Machado went down.
Yep. OK even.
But please first address why a 10 point half-time lead had been surrendered before this happened.
Taipans were awful at the start of the 3rd. Machado and Forde should have had that sorted.
Forde should have had that sorted, in fact.
That the Taipans outscored Jacks in the final quarter kinda reinforces the point I've hoped to make.
Poor of the coach to say we were a crucial man down when on the day and through the season there hasn’t been a demonstrable difference.

Don't agree there. Machado getting back to some good form has been one of the main reasons for the team's good form the last few rounds.

Yes the spin here is indeed sickening.
"Cairns has a solid core. Gutsy win from the JJ's down by 10 at the half."
No there is no solid core. No Machado no Taipans. As above questions need to be asked who the Taipans turned a 10 point lead into crap. JJ's have a thin bench too. A solid core who are over achieving. I keep saying it take the blinkers off Scout.

Chill out Bobby, you have a problem with me stating the JJs had a gutsy win after being down by 10 at the half all good I was wrong:
they were down by 9!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend mate

Cracker weekend! Yes without Machado they should have won that game. How they got to be 9 down at the half is the important question which you continue to overlook.

They lead the league in bench scoring.

Pleased you had a great weekend Bobby.
How did pointing out they came back after being down at halftime overlook how they got there? Think you are having a conversation with yourself!
More than happy to acknowledge that they were down at halftime. Also happy to acknowledge that will win more games than they lose in their first season!
