2015/16 record: 40-29

Melbourne Tigers -2.5

Tigers are loaded this season adding David Anderson and former Breaker Cedric Jackson to their line up. The Breakers losing Jackson to Melbourne was huge and although they've added Kirk Penney it will be hard for them to compete with the top teams this year unless their imports really fire.
Think the Tigers make an early statement here.

Blind Freddie!!!! 

Good to see you back again mate. Going to be a very good season. Lets hope after a few games the totals start flying over like last season buddy. The WNBL has a lot of new talent and some old talent that retired last season so thats going to be a hard league to cap this season as I don't know too much about some of the new talent. 

GL this season mate. Glad to see the Bullets back in the league and they have added Dollar Beal to their line-up so I would like to see how Perth are going to go without him..

ADU, good to see you mate.

Really looking forward to this season. The extra import should make a real difference in quality for the league plus some big name Aussies coming back home. I do think we'll see high scores again with a lot of up tempo ball being played. As for my Wildcats, they have some very exciting imports on board including an improved Casey Prather. Letting Beal go was a risk but the coaching staff are pretty excited at the team they've assembled so I'm quietly confident of another good showing.

Interesting first half Freddie.. They seem to be missing Holt IMHO and the Breakers team seems very deep this year with Loe and Woodside now. Plenty of time though mate for United to turn this game around..

Hit their straps now

Is the total in the 36ers too high? 187.5? I know both teams can score but in a 40-minute game and in Round 1 when players are rusty...

Its very high Peekay but I just read an article with Beveridge (Hawks coach) and their game plan is to take at least 80 shots per game and crack that 100 mark regardless so it sounds like their will be zero defense and the 36ers are a very small athletic team this season with Randle and we all know what he can do. I do like the Hawks TT under though because without Penney and Lisch running the show, I don't think they will crack 23.5 points per quarter average to hit that mark but little skeptical first week.

the first two games will barely hit 140-150 now we have a 187.5 total.

Its close to an nba total with 8 less minutes played.

Perth Wildcats/Cairns Taipans -Total game score OVER 158.5


Based on the history of these 2 teams playing at Perth the trends are pretty favourable to an over in this one. One thing that did come out of Perth's first game loss was they have some potentially potent offensive weapons on their roster. Should things click for the Cats then they could very well run up a big score in this one.

GL Freddie. Opening game for the Wildcats in Perth. Their offense looked good 1Q, then died off 2H big time. Felt as though Martin was trying to do too much on his own the other night. Prather disappeared a fair bit as well. McKay looked good though but not too sure about Johnson.

McKay is a beast at both ends, Prather has returned from the Vegas League with a new and improved game and Johnson comes with big raps from the D-League. If all these guys get going then we could be in for some real entertaining ball.
