Dwayne RussellHOST
That's the only way to get better.
Dwayne RussellHOST
And if you want to jump on board or get your membership or get to South East Melbourne Phoenix's game this Saturday, it's a 5.30pm tip-off, so don't miss it against the Cairns Taipans.
Dwayne RussellHOST
Dash, I'll see you there.
Dwayne RussellHOST
I'll try not to annoy you because I'm going to both games this weekend, Saturday night against Cairns, and I'm going to front up again on Sunday to go and watch...
Derek RuckerGUEST
It just seems like he was struggling as it was, and I wonder how much of those shooting woes were due to the fact that perhaps he had sustained that quad injury.
Jack HeverinHOST
No shooting woes for the Cairns Taipans.
Jack HeverinHOST
They've won three in a row for the first time since the early stages of last season, and a lot of it is built off the way that they're shooting the basketball.
Derek RuckerGUEST
Well, Jack McVay is playing brilliantly, and now that...
Derek RuckerGUEST
Yeah.
Derek RuckerGUEST
He played more of a role player kind of part in this success this round.
Derek RuckerGUEST
So big thumbs up to the Cairns Taipans, although they may not be
Jack HeverinHOST
my official thumbs up.
Tracy MaloneHOST
...
Tracy MaloneHOST
Cairns Taipans up in Cairns.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Cairns defeated Brisbane 97 to 91, and the crowd was 4,254 people at the Cairns Convention Center.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Quarter by quarter, quarter one We, Bullets, were 17, Taipans were 23.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Second quarter, Bullets 33, great quarter.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Taipans 24.
Tracy MaloneHOST
So we had the best quarter of the whole game out of any team.
Tracy MaloneHOST
Third quarter, we were 22, Cairns were 27, and the fourth quarter we were 19, and Cairns were 23.
Derek RuckerHOST
But it just seems like he was struggling as it was, and I wonder how much of those shooting woes were due to the fact that perhaps he had sustained that quad injury.
Jack HeverinHOST
No shooting woes for the Cairns Taipans.
Derek RuckerHOST
Mm.
Jack HeverinHOST
They've won three in a row for the first time since the early stages of last season, and a lot of it is built off the way that they're shooting the basketball.
Jack HeverinHOST
Yeah.
Derek RuckerHOST
He played more of a role player kind of, uh, part in this success this round.
Derek RuckerHOST
So big thumbs up to the, uh, Cairns Taipans, although they may not be my official thumbs up.
Jack HeverinHOST
Oh, okay.
Charles BediakoGUEST
You know, I feel like, I feel like that's kinda the difference between teams that make it far and don't make it far is the team, uh, chemistry.
D'Arcy WaldegraveHOST
I've saw you guys play in, in Auckland taking on [laughs] the Taipans.
D'Arcy WaldegraveHOST
I was blown away at how big Sam Maninga is.
D'Arcy WaldegraveHOST
I, you see him on TV, but in the flesh, the guy's enormous, isn't he? He's an absolute brute of a player.
Andy MaherHOST
Who, who is he? For those of us who don't know who Luke Paul is, who is he?
Andrew GazeHOST
Luke Paul is a 17-year-old kid that's been at the, uh, the Center of Excellence and is now playing for the Cairns Taipans.
Andy MaherHOST
Okay.
Andy MaherHOST
Right.
Andy MaherHOST
Who, who is he? For those of us who don't know who Luke Paul is, who is he?
Andrew GazeHOST
Luke Paul is a 17-year-old kid that's been at the, uh, the Center of Excellence and is now playing for the Cairns Taipans.
Andy MaherHOST
Okay.
Andy MaherHOST
Right.
Jason CadeeHOST
So I, I think that'll be part of his learning curve this year, and then if he can go over there and apply it next year, I think that's only an added bonus for him.
Brayden HeslehurstHOST
And can't wait to see what he does when he makes his NBL debut for the Cairns Taipans, who are coming off a massive win against Melbourne United, of course that fourth quarter with Jaylen Brown going nuts, and almost pulling off a contender for Dunk of the Year as well, so-
Jason CadeeHOST
Oh, that was close
Brayden HeslehurstHOST
...
Paul BonsorHOST
We'll look at Melbourne United first.
Paul BonsorHOST
Uh, they had a, well, it was an upset loss to Cairns Taipans.
Rupert SapwellHOST
Well, and I don't think anyone would've picked it.
Paul BonsorHOST
No.
Rupert SapwellHOST
He was able to get to the basket and do that, but they weren't able to get that at the, at the big times.
Paul BonsorHOST
At the times, yeah.
Rupert SapwellHOST
It was very similar to the Cairns Taipans, Melbourne United game.
Rupert SapwellHOST
Level at three quarter time or thereabouts, and just, uh, overwhelmed in that last little bit, the Sixers, and got, and ran out of gas.
Ian HealyHOST
Uh, tonight, um, the Bullets go again.
Ian HealyHOST
Well, while you have a look at a few texts here, Macca, Bullets play again, uh, their fifth match, the Sunshine Stouse against the Vi- the Taipans.
Ian HealyHOST
They beat Melbourne United last game, so they go into this as favorites.
Ian HealyHOST
Um, and it's Pink Hoops Round, uh, next Thursday back in Brisbane against the South East Melbourne Phoenix, where they honor the legacy of Tiana Mangakaha.
