Under Hit's Tonight

Why? 

 

1.  Finally we are looking at some defence in the first half of the NBL finals (90 points last game);

 

2.  Second halfs are very low scoring;

 

3.  The NBL finals schedule is more in line with the NBA (both normal home-and-away and finals), and thus I believe players are not used to playing such a schedule.  Syd have played 7 games in the last 18 days (1 game every 2.57 days) and Melb is 6 games in 16 days (1 game every 2.67 days).  Neither side is used to this;

 

4.  Syd 'nearly' always play defence on their home court;

 

5.  No team has any form of consistency, thus scoring will not come easy.

 

Not sure if everyone agrees, but that is what I am hitting, GL
