Good I hate Melbourne

Hawks beat the Wildcats to take the series to a third game

Game 2

Illawarra 104 (Forman 21, Ogilvy 20, Penney 18, Coenraad 17) def Perth 87 (Prather 21, Beal 20, Knight 15)

Series tied 1-1

Also Melb Utd's Chris Goulding has signed to play in Italy for the rest of this season.

Jeez, once again will probably be faced with that horrible choice - Kiwis or Perth

Also Goulding can't cut it in Europe. The weasel will be back.

It's only for the rest of the Italian season, the talk is he's going to sign with Brisbane for next season.

A bit of interesting news the Townsville Crocs have announced they've re-signed newly crowned NBL coach of the year Shawn Dennis to a 2 year deal.

A Perth Wildcats vs NZ Breakers Grand Final it is. If only both teams could lose!

There goes the $20 I put on the Hawks before the season to win it all at $13.

Awesome news!

THE deal is done and it's official. Jerome Randle will be back with the Adelaide 36ers for the 2016-17 NBL season.

The club on Thursday formally will announce the successful conclusion of its negotiations with 175cm dynamo Randle, who is currently competing in Europe for Lithuanian powerhouse and Euroleague stalwart Kaunas Zalgiris.

I seriously hate both teams playing in the deciding series, does any here care who wins?

The completion seriously needs someone else to step up and win one.

I totally agree, frustrates the crap out of me

About 30 mins until game time.

Perth and NZ have won the last 6 championships and it will be 7 titles this year.

2010: Perth
2011: NZ
2012: NZ
2013: NZ
2014: Perth
2015: NZ

New Zealand have won 80% of their GF games against Perth (4-1) and pretty sure between the two NZ is the only one to have won a GF game on the others home court.

In saying that I think Perth will win tonight and win the series 2-1

Qtr time

Wildcats 24
Breakers 14

Perth looking more battle hardened, NZ coming off of a 10 day break.

Half-time

Wildcats 45
Breakers 38

NZ getting back in it but still the Nate Jawai show!

Breakers take the lead!

3-Qtr time

Wildcats 63
Breakers 61

What a game.

Game 1

Perth 82 (Jawai 15, Knight 14, Prather 11, Wagstaff 11) def NZ Breakers 76 (Webster 19, Ce. Jackson 14, Ch. Jackson 11, Vukona 11)

Perth lead the series 1-0
