In spite of ladder positions, which mean nothing this season, it seems, the JJ's, who are rapidly finding their form will take the points and swap ladder-spots in the bargain. Breakers , on the other hand, are struggling with their new-ish line-up. The margin will be at Roth's mercy and he'll go big, to the end.

The game is at north shore and hoops there normally turn into a grind.
Can't bring myself to watch this breakers circus in person so will be from the couch but expecting a comfortable JJs win
Apparently bolden is a game time decision but I can't see him playing and certainly not changing the outcome

Yes it's not looking good for nz, even if Bolden plays he won’t have match practice, to much work for PJC and Mennenga isn’t getting it done, need more players to step up but who.

Game starting late, Mennenga starting on the bench, hopefully not injured

You should never doubt Scott Roth, MacDonald has made so much difference. Breakers are so erratic, some guys play both ends but not all. Mennenga is ten times the player under Kop than he was under Forde. Montagna keeps cutting side line Franks off.

Hopefully the next game is going to be better than this one sided contest. Fall is a bust. It's PJC or bust

Taco has wrecked the ring, moved it off centre. Another delay.

PJC tech fouled, frustration setting right in. Magnay milking fouls, Crawford on fire. Nz down by 17.

JJs have been expert on milking fouls and getting away with contact. Especially holding and blocking on tacko. But good on them if they're not calling it keep doing it!
Coach kop hit the panic button bringing the injury replacement on!
I get the impression he's ruined the confidence of a couple of players like mojave and Lopez

At times it's looked like the refs think they are at my bank stadium.

NZ sign taco, and then the players don't pass inside to him. Can't work out why they are down by so much. They get some stops and don't even look for Taco in the lane. Then on slow plays he sets a good seal with his hand up, no inside pass and the pg is calling for a screen. Dumbest basketball.

Agility and mobility aren't exactly Tacko’s strong suit. Unless he can stand still and the pass is bang on the money, he’s likely to fall over someone and hurt himself (again).

Nz look so deflated from what they were. Bolden has been good in a losing team, PJC looks totally pissed off, Lopez has regressed, so has Mooney, the coaches looking annoyed as well, most bench are average or worse, management has blown a good side up. Taco is a fail, he's not winning you anything. JJs just going through the motions and will still kick arse. PJC double teamed all night, Roth should have all sides shitting their pants. They are a machine.

Accurate summary, Dunkman. The owner f**ked it up big time.
It's his money, of course, but he won’t be making much after what he did to the team.

Next up for JJs is their other home Court where they some sort of record especially against MU. Expect 2000 to 3000 visiting fans in what will be another sell out for MU.

Will NZ get another win this season? They have been absolutely rotten since Tacko came in. If I was a season member/sponsor/supporter I'd be pissed and asking questions.
