NBL Grand Final

Question

Haven&#x27;t been able to get on here for some time &amp; have had a few bets here and there with mixed success.Got Melbourne to win the title before playoffs started.  This is one hell of a final series best of 5 takes all. Game 2 Melbourne United @ Adelaide 36ers Over 184.5 (Medium)Melbourne United @ Adelaide 36ers Over 93.5 1H (Medium)The irresistible force meets the immovable object. United is the most complete team in this league in terms of depth and firepower. They have the better D and can play the grind it out half court game better than the 36ers. United are loaded with firepower and can pile on the points in so many ways as we&#x27;ve seen 204 points scored in game 1 (100 at HT)Adelaide&#x27;s squad is also very deep and their attack is relentless and ferocious, they love to run the ball down their opponent&#x27;s throat at every opportunity. Back at home, this game should be another high scoring affair and I wouldn&#x27;t want to be on the under at any rate.Rumour has it that Boone might miss this game due a calf injury he suffered just before game1. Not sure if this is true but I don&#x27;t expect the pace and total points scored to be impacted very much as long as Casper takes the court. He is the architect that that makes this United team click and takes the pressure off his teammates.Buckle up for another exciting game folks and take the over!!!!GLTA

D-Play · Answer

Childress will miss the rest of the series due a shoulder injury. They will miss his defensive presence, rebounds and points (12.5 PPG, 6.6 RPG). He has been one of the key reasons why Adelaide has been so good this year.

Though this team is so deep and their style of play means that might be able to generate enough points but without Childress, it does weaken their interior defense at both ends of the floor.

United is such a good rebounding team and this can only improve their chances of winning the battles on the boards.

Bookies have adjusted the total upwards from 174.5 (game 1) to 184.5 (game 2) to 190.5 (game 3) and for good reasons. Total results so far 203 (game 1) and 205 (game 2); two of the highest scoring games in the history of the NBL.

Game 2: The pace of the game is so frenetic that Adelaide got to shoot a staggering 28/40 (70%) free throws versus United 12/16 (75%).

Adelaide's team as a whole is so aggressive at attacking the hoops that the tend to get the benefit of the foul calls from the referees.

Still liking the over for 1H and full game.

This grand finals series is breaking all sorts records in the NBL.

Some more interesting facts:-

United have won 10 of their last 11 games at home. Adelaide have won their last eight games at home.

United are 5-1 against Adelaide this season.

United’s scores vs 36ers this year have been 99, 99, 101, 99, 107 and 95 at an average of exactly 100 per game.

Melbourne’s 95-points in game two was their lowest score in six games against Adelaide so far this season.

Games one and two was the two highest scoring Grand Final games since the switch to 40-minute games for the 2010 season.

Adelaide took 40-free throws in game two which was the most taken by any team in any game this season and the most any team had ever taken against United in their history.

The team that lost the foul count have lost every finals game so far this season. Over six finals games this season, the losing team have been called for 33 more fouls than the winning team.

Great call buddy on Game #2. Those free throws for Adelaide were just absurd..

I think I may call it a season and just watch as a spectator from now on and hope Melbourne can win the title..

Another 2-0 winner on Friday.Game 4Will Melbourne close out the series today or will Adelaide fight back with and force an all important decider in Melbourne next weekend? One thing is for sure, there is no love lost between these two sides and we should be in for another thriller today. Going to stay the course and back the Overs again. 1. Melbourne United @ Adelaide 36ers Over 192.5 2. Melbourne United @ Adelaide 36ers Over 96.5 1HNormally in a potential elimination game the under is worth a play but this series is like no other we&#x27;ve seen in the past, hence the record breaking stats. If it ain&#x27;t broke, don&#x27;t fix it.GLTA

what are your thoghts on the spread of 3? game starts in 20!!

AussieDownUnder · Answer

oh no!!! Im on the under this game.. I am just being stubborn I guess..

Christian_iaco · Answer

over is up to 195.5!!

D-Play · Answer

Tough choice, my gut says Adelaide  win here cause the home refs will give them the benefit of all the tick tack fouls due to their relentless attack at the hoops. Pressure is slightly off for United and they are capable of winning this one with a bunch of experienced vets on their roster.
