Any thoughts on the teams chances this season? Seems to be an
awesome squad on paper.
2 from 2 in preason so far without the injured Kirk
Penney.

I'm looking forward to the season ahead. I don't really like
basketball much, but I like seeing Kiwi teams showing Aussies up.

Do the breakers play games in Wellington because im sure their
first ever game was in Welly.

I haven't kept up - have they signed anyone worth knowing about?

I think so. Carlos Powell was absolute class. Best in the league
last year in my opinion.

They've signed Kirk Penney who was in the states sniffing around
for a professional contract and Phil Jones has returned home too.
Two US imports - Rick Rickert and Wayne Turner. Turner won 2
NCAA titles with Kentucky and played a few seasons ago for the
Celtics (has also played for Harlem Globetrotters). Rickert has a
little bit of NBA experience with Minnesota and Detroit.
In top of that Tony Ronaldson - the 'winningest' player in
ANBL history
And yes, Carlos has gone dammit.

This could be a breakthrough year. Top four finish in sight
hopefully.

Last year it was achievable - Im not a basketball follower but I
was almost tempted to attend a game or two.

Oh nice Tony Ronaldson - Breaker's always needed a big dude who
could actually play big - Pero hangs around the perimeter way too
much for a dude his size, Pepper couldn't bear the interior on his
own.
The imports sound OK, time will only tell as to whether they
can measure up to last season's offerings...

Its a bloody good atmosphere. Almost as good as Block 5.
