NBL 23/1

Still don't buy Perth as being a great team. If the jump shots aren't falling and redhage isn't on they look v stodgy. Giant hippy is a bust for mine, doesn't match up well with Melbourne bigs.

Hate the tigers and don't think they are playing great either, but their confidence is up and the shots are falling.

Having suffered through two Cairns games last round I am going against them even though this appears an attractive spot for them. They struggle to get the ball in to the front court. often when they do the run alot of screens to have a player get to the top of the 3 point line and have the player with the ball who is already there hand it to them for no effect. no idea this late in the season despite a decent roster.

Doubling up on Cairns sucking.

GC have won 10 straight at home. I read Gibson is back tonight. Off an ugly loss, due to start playing better.

NZ get Abercrombe I believe, but think they will find it tough backing up from a thursday game.
