Hey buddy, correct. New info from this morning I read from the Adelaide papers online. Line is down to 5 now as well. No one knows Joey's rotations for tonight so red flags for me straight away..
Thanks for the response, might have to just wait until right before the game to see if anything new develops.

Trying to find out what can potentially happen in the NBL game tomorrow night if the Hawks win tonight and Perth need a win tomorrow night to get 2nd spot. Have to see who have the tie breaker between Hawks and Perth.

Ok cool, so Perth has the tie-breaker over the Hawks. So if the Hawks win tonight (which they should) I will be all over Wildcats tomorrow as the travel for Melbourne is a little crazy as this will be their 4th game in just 1 week starting off in Sydney last Saturday, then home on Monday last week to beat the Hawks. Then to NZ on Friday night and then back home for Sunday b'ball against a Hawks team gelling and playing great ball. The only thing is, if the Hawks somehow lose tonight, then motivation might be zero as the Wildcats can wrap up 2nd if Hawks lose. The Wildcats also have the tie-breaker over the Taipans as well.

Man, that was painful. Huge 1H and then the scoring just stopped but as you said Ramanujan, a win is a win..
Their fate is in their hands, and I am taking this play right now seeing that the Taipans are going to win this game tonight and leapfrog into 2nd spot
Perth Wildcats @ Melbourne United: Perth +2.5
Explained above, I think the travel, 4 games in a week and enthusiasm and experience will be too much for Melbourne. You have Martin, the leagues best guard defender. Prather beasting on offense. Knight to challenge the paint with the bigs of Melbourne. Gleeson IMHO a much better coach than the Dem for Melbourne.

Don't let the last game fool you, Capitals won 77-63 but both players and coach were angry and wrote a complaint to the WNBL for scheduling reasons. The day before the last match-up, the Spirit were in Townsville for an 8pm game, meaning it didn't finish until around 10. Then they would have had an early flight to Canberra or possibly Sydney and then played the Capitals at 7pm the following night. The Spirit coach and stated that his saw his players just fall apart and fatigue in that match up. Now with the Rangers losing tonight to Sydney, both Capitals and Spirit can catch up now but I think that the Spirit have too much experience and quality players to let this game slip. Last chance, if they lose this they are gone.
Bendigo Spirit @ Canberra Capitals: Spirit +3.5

Well this game is over.. Bendigo horrible offensively. See ya next year Bendigo. Capitals shooting really well and just no excuse from Bendigo to have only 35 points in the middle of the 3Q.
Fingers crossed Perth show up today so I can go 4-1 instead of 3-2 this weekend

We only have 3 games per series which sucks, should be at least 5.. Last season, the NBL finals was between NZ and Perth and the travel got the best of NZ in the final game of the series..
So we have Cairns travelling to Adelaide and Perth travelling to Illawarra to face the Hawks.
Cairns home court is definitely an advantage for them in the 2nd game but Adelaide should be too strong at home in Game 1 and 3 (if needed).
The other fixture is awesome. Hawks at home to Perth. Remember, Perth will go home after this game for some training and game planning and then head back to Sydney and then down the coast to face the Hawks who have been at home for a few days now. Going to be fun, starts Thursday. Until then, catch you all later
