BNZ Breakers Are Good Enough to Reach Playoffs - Aussie Critic

The BNZ Breakers are currently in eighth spot on the NBL ladder ahead of the trip to Perth this weekend

The run home:
PER (A)
ILL (H)
MEL (A)
BRI (H)
ADE (A)

"They would be ruing that loss to Illawarra on the road the other day. Tough travel schedule, sure, tough team Illawarra, but they were right there, they could have got that job done and they didn’t.

"They’ve got the 13 losses but they’ve got a healthy percentage of 100 plus. They could lose two more and still get in, for me, especially Illawarra and Brisbane, they’re going to be double-point games against teams whose spots they’re trying to take in the post-season. Can they go to Perth, knock off a top two team and really give themselves a great launching pad to get into the post-season.

"I think getting in with 12 wins is unlikely, it’s still a possibility but I think they’re going to need to go 3-2 the rest of the way, but I think they’re good enough to do that." - Liam Santamaria
