Iafeta said:Carlos Powell was outstanding in the game. He'll add to a real good team spirit I reckon. Others who stood up Wethers obviously, Ben Pepper turned it all around for us in the 3rd quarter winning his ding dong dual with the Yank, Mika Vikuna made some clutch plays, and even the big bloke who used to play for Cairns was quite effective in the role he played.
But for the Breakers to be any real threat Paul Henare really needs to lift his offensive game. He's not good enough shooting from outside, nor at taking it inside and laying up, and he's no John Stockton in passing ability. At times I wonder whether he is in essence the most over-rated player in New Zealand basketball history.
The other aspect the Breakers have to improve on is their D, particularly their permiter D. Time and time again they got exposed by clutch shooting from outside under no pressure.
