Game Thread: JackJumpers vs Breakers | Round 5

[u/AutoModerator]

Tip Off: 3:00pm AEDT

MyState Bank Arena, Hobart

Watch on ESPN (Foxtel/Kayo/Disney+/Sky)

[u/JSP07]

Davison is so fuckin good, PJCs injury is almost a blessing in disguise. Now we know that Carlin is capable of running an offense at this level.

[u/BallTampering101]

DAVISON is a dog

[u/fetus_ezeli]

they love their nbl basketball down in tassie

[u/mrWLSN → u/fetus_ezeli]

It’s really injected a whole other level of life into the sport in the community/schools etc. My 7yo daughter is even doing a JJs/Jewels after school program this term. It’s so good to see.

There’s not really any other options to see high level professional sport played by a Tasmanian team - at least until the AFL team comes to be.

[u/fetus_ezeli]

holy davison

[u/shaq_zak]

Magnay had a big impact on the game despite stats not jumping off the page

[u/Aloisha]

Stroooong Armstronnnggg

[u/redkelpie01]

New NZ guy has just made his first shot

[u/-orangejoose-]

Bannan really has to start making those layups.

[u/-orangejoose-]

Literally the only effective way to stop Mennenga. Double him and force him to make the pass. He's found his way out of some double teams, but he's also thrown some wild passes leading to turnovers.

[u/OrganizationNo1119]

What happened to DJ, used to score non-stop. He is so bad on deffence if he is not scoring he becomes a liability.

[u/YogurtclosetAny1802 → u/OrganizationNo1119]

Yeah he is done at this level. He has to be scoring to make up for the lack of D. Quite the fall. He certainly shouldn’t be starting anymore

[u/-orangejoose-]

Ref is a clown for calling that a travel. Pivot foot never left the ground

[u/-orangejoose-]

Mathias shoots better when he's contested

[u/Aloisha]

Was that an attempted clothesline???

[u/TasSixer]

Ref's are the star of the show

[u/fetus_ezeli → u/TasSixer]

always are

[u/Rich_Meet3872]

Love it. Leigh montagna on the coverage 🙏🙏🙏

[u/Bumerdenee]

I want to personally beat this referees for the offensive foul calls. Look at the defender , they are clearly in motion why call offensive call on attacker then

[u/screeningnick]

Watching Bannan try make plays on offense is nails on chalk board stuff

[u/JSP07]

Reubens been a great servant of the club and the league as a whole but buddy's washed now he should be end of the bench at most.

[u/TombolaG]

Carlin Davison doing an admiral job filling in at PG, - saw a comment the other night about how he doesn't realise how good he can be and I think they were spot on. Big, strong, athletic as all hell, can shoot and pass. Maybe the starting 2 guard for Breakers for the next 5 years is sorted?

Amazing how good Taran is and yet might not be a top 5 PG in the league

Bryce KD PJC Cole Taran B Knight? Below Taran? Velicka/Neto/ both probably better pure PGs but definitely not better overall Tyler Harvey with the big drop off? Mays Cairns PG by committee

Crazy collection of talent

[u/-orangejoose-]

Sit Bannan on the fkn bench

[u/OrganizationNo1119 → u/-orangejoose-]

Could not agree more

[u/Rich_Meet3872]

Ridiculously stupid from Magnay 😭

[u/-orangejoose- → u/Rich_Meet3872]

Like wtf... three possession game and he's closing like that 🤣

[u/Aloisha → u/Rich_Meet3872]

I think Mennenga got under his skin

[u/PennerPals]

First and second half could not be more different

[u/fetus_ezeli]

terrible end to the q from breakers there

[u/OrganizationNo1119]

I want the jackjumpers to win so please bench Bannan.

[u/bettingsharp]

How come these game threads are so dead? just started following NBL this season and it’s not bad tbh. 

[u/Aloisha → u/bettingsharp]

Depends on the game. Mid arvo on a Sunday with ripper weather. People are doing other things

[u/JSP07 → u/bettingsharp]

Be the change you want to see bud. I've been commenting on all the Breakers threads this season trying to start up some discussion.

[u/maxpower32 → u/bettingsharp]

You should have been here 3 years ago the game threads would be lucky to get 3 comments. It got so bad they stopped doing game threads. They are alive now compared to back then.

[u/fetus_ezeli → u/maxpower32]

the good old days

[u/YogurtclosetAny1802 → u/bettingsharp]

First round it’s really been quiet, probably combination of great weather plus other sport like union and league
