Brisbane have been very reasonable without getting the W, who's in or out for both sides could be decisive, Prather out huge loss, Deng out might be not bad. No idea on cats in or outs. Cats just better team overall and should get this by nine.

Prather out? Where has that been reported?
He looks to be suiting up by player entries...

It always astounds me that the NBL has players standing around 15 min after a game has been due to start while talking heads on TV talk about a game that is finished.
Surely when a game finishes late, and we have to wait because of TV, they could skip the post game and pre game that no ones really interested in anyway.
Seems very disrespectful to the players of both waiting teams and the fans sitting in the stadium

It's nice to see Naar get Rocco involved so early, it’s amazing what a decent passing guard can do for bigs.

Rosen, I'm a fan Deng Adel but his game doesn’t suit the nbl, lmao. Comes out, turn over, charge and beaten so easily on D and gets dragged. What league does he belong to then.

I'd love to complain about perth not getting any calls under the basket, but until they stop voluntarily switching guards onto bigs and vice versa it's hard to complain... like why, why just give up mismatches, it's killing Perth
Anon

I changed my mind, if that's an illegal screen the ref's are a joke
Anon

Guess all the SEM fans will be complaining at the lack of calls Perth is getting just like SEM? Cause this is pretty ridiculously one way

Couldn't buy a basket despite plenty of decent looks, so I feel like it could have been a lot worse than 8 down at the half.

The foul count is 11-10, and the free throws cats lead by five, you must be watching wrong game anon.
Luuuc

Not that a well-reffed game requires an even foul count, but yeah Anon often watches a different game. No issues at all with the reffing so far. Cats have been outplayed at one end and shot poorly at the other.

Perth has a unique way of defending hot shooters, leave them wide open so they worry they might miss.... would help if they could hit a basket so they weren't in d transition all game...

Pinder actually got good defensive position for once, no reward...

Sorry but Cotton was outed on the buzzer beater, that sort of stupid defence should be penalised, but alas it's not

How can someone play defense in the same hemisphere as Cotton and not get a foul?

Death, taxes and Perthworld showing up when things are bad. Of course silent when things are going smoothly. We get it champ, Rillie either stole your girl or owes you money but how about balancing the ledger now and again huh? You'll feel much better.

Offensive foul on BC when double teamed.... like you don't need to make shit up, that's not an offensive foul, amd if it was there was likely a defensive foul there. Commentary was wrong, Batemon is not the most hated player in Perth, John Rillie on the other hand....
Anon
Last month
Hopefully after CG43 now Batemon that's JR gone. Our offence is bad, our defence worse. Scheme is horrid at both ends. We shot wide open shots awfully, but frankly our offence generates nothing easy and our defence schemes are nothing shy f worse in the league. Should we have had a few calls, absolutely, might have shaved a couple points of the margin. Hopefully Perth has a new coach after the fiba break. Anyone really.

Doesn't surprise any of us who watched the Bullets play the JJs on Friday night. They were a real handful and did a lot right. Keeping the fight for the post season very open going into the FIBA break.

Yes a great win bullets, and they hung on, congratulations to Batman an Cook, both have come good. No Doolittle doing the blue collar stuff and no cats. Rocco at last impressive, they should play him and Naar more together, nice minutes from Naar. Cats so different from their home court though they didn't get same advantage from fouls as they did against SEM
Two very good games today.

Fans need to quit coming to the game until they replace Rillie. This team is a laughing stock.

How can Naar come into a team as an injury replacement player and he, more than any of our other guards, can get the ball to that giant who just loves flushing them on everyone. Frankly, I rated Naar as the spark today for Rocco and for the whole team ultimately.
Was Cotton's lack of significant impact a bad game by him or very good D by Bris? I only really noticed Norto playing D on him (watching Bateman going to work, wow, that was great). and he denied Cotton till late in most possessions. I'm sure others helped with the D too. On the other hand, Bateman was almost encouraged by Perth's lack of defence and kept on piling the points, even after he had put on 20 or 30 or 40 pts.
Well, now it's the FIBA break then back into it (NBL).

Impressive weekend from Brisbane. Very close to winning away in Hobart. Starting to click as their new imports adjust to the league.

@ Rob T, exactly, Naar passing sparked Rocco and gave him confidence, it's Rocco best performance in a long while..

People bleating about JR (right or wrong, no comment). Personally think Danny Mills has more to answer for to membership with the wonky roster he's handed JR the last two seasons.

They have a team of Andrew Gaze and Lanard Copelands in their guard spots, including Cotton. Defense not available.

Just checked the futures markets for the first time in ages and the Vic TAB has dumped the Cats big time who are now 7th at $27. Breakers and JJs are 5th and 6th at $13 and $17. United now favourite at $3 with Kings and Hawks at $3.50. Nobody on Betfair seems to want to hold any money on the JJs with odds of only $2.90 on offer. Maybe someone knows something the general market doesn't but Betfair futures can be notoriously shallow. Nevertheless whatever was available at decent odds has been snapped up by someone.

On perth radio this morning.
Scathing assessment of the wildcats and particularly a focus on Rillies lack of coaching ability and to be able to make adjustments.

Spot on assessment - a play by play breakdown of the Cats allowing the opposition to do the same thing over and over and over again as seen in multiple games now. Can the guy who called in submit his CV to Cats hq?

Lako ("the guy who called in") is a former Wildcats player.

Lako was lambasted as a SBL coach although sadly he is probably a better coach than Rillie which is mindboggling.
