We care a lot about the game and want to be winning and are very disappointed about what's going on, but I'm going to enjoy time with my family. We will train on Christmas Day for an hour, I'll have Christmas for the majority of the guys that are coming over and hopefully we enjoy that time together."
souths may play sloppy on offence as theyre having too good of a time around christmas..if the coach is sounding like theyre not gonna have a total killer instinct because its around christmas then there may be mroe missed shots than usual as in basketball mentally wanting to get the ball in the hoop is the most important factor to scoring obviously. but from what i read heal said they had a light training session and doesnt sound fired up.

i am leaning to the under.
cant write much into Heal talking about defence he has done so before/after pretty well every game and it hasn't worked so far.
Adelaide have not been playing at a very fast pace. Even last week against WS when they scored 122 there were not alot of possessions/shots. The high score was because Adelaide hit 18/35 3s.
The thing that worries me about the under is that against Souths you can usually get an open 3 point shot by making two passes, so if Adelaide kepp their hot hand they could score alot of points.

Dragons have been talking about the D for sometime now but the fact is this team just deosn't have the mindset or toughness to do just that.
Back in round 12 dragons were at home against the Blaze and had to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Dragons talked up the D in the press and they went out & lost that game by 116-127 to the Blaze. Total for that game was 201.5 and a lot of us guys here on covers took the under and got done.
Here's the article that i was referring to:
We've been breaking down a lot. I think we wanted to be a great defensive team and we knew we could score and put points on the board, and defence would be the thing that won or lost games for us," Ingles explained.
"So far it has definitely lost us games."
"We've had some pretty bad breakdowns in some games and it showed losing by 30 to Cairns and 20 to Gold Coast last time."
"If we start playing 'D' as a team and getting some stops we can string some games together."
Ingles said the feeling within the camp as it prepares to round out a nine-day, four-match road-trip on Wednesday was still upbeat.
"It's a tough situation. We are 4-11 and I think most of the guys here are used to being on winning teams."
"The guys have been good, trying to stay positive, and with the personnel we have got we know we should be a better team and can turn it around if we knuckle down and play some tough basketball."
If anything, I would be more concerned about the lack of effort and intensity from the dragons since it is the festive season but then I told myself that the suxers D is nothing to rave about either. IMO the 2 teams will more than likely settle for a fast tempo game since it is what they are good at.

adelaide last game 127 1st half 95 2nd half at west sydney
last meeting 96-93(189) at adelaide rnd 9
meeting before that 149-147(296)
this game could finish anywhere between 160 and about 260 anyone who can confidently take a total in this is nostradamus
44-33(77) half time score at adelaide in rnd 9
220 on 1st half under 105.5 when it comes out at centrebet for some action on the game even though it could end up being a 120+ 1st half
only reason i took that team i know nothing about is the nbl so everything turned out ok in the end
