Tonight is the first of 3 straight home games for us and it starts against the Melbourne Tigers and the return of Chris Anstey from hip surgery. They have been struggling like us so far this year but are coming off a great emotional win in Adelaide that saw Julius Hodge stomping all over Brett Maher’s name on his court. Very controversial and disrespectful. It’s going to be one of those ugly games with both team having their backs against the wall and equally needing this win to stay in the playoff hunt.

It’s going to take all we got to get this one. The Gold Coast game hurt but we played our best ball of the year and I think we can build from that but we first have to minimize errors and get this chemistry working to pull off a nice winning streak.

I remember with the Bullets we started the year off 3-3 with a talented squad then all of a sudden we found our chemistry and took off to 21 wins in a row. Not saying we can get 21 but 5-7 wins in a row would be nice and realistic.

Cairns fans get out their tonight and support us with a full house! We won’t disappoint!
