NBL & WNBL

FG is looking good as well 

The WNBL can be tricky especially with injury updates . You in Australia?

usually just play overs for NBL as there was a time almost every game was just hitting over. but it seems that the trend stopped this January 

As an aside I played Mahrindra in the PPL based totally on the relative standings and they won easily. Will do same for the late game

BOL to all. Nice pick on the NBL under

Yeah Melbourne and Sydney are great cities but Sydney is just becoming ridiculous with house pricing and cost of living. 

Yeah the overs last season were ridiculous. I will admit, watching the games this season compared to last, the shooting isn't as good and the players that left their teams (Lisch, Beal, Penney etc) haven't been as efficient as last season for their older clubs. Imports have been hit and miss as well but by far, Randle for the 36ers is the best player in the league and well done to them for recruiting him last season. After he plays in Oz, he goes to Europe and plays for a Turkish team. I personally think he could be a bench PG for a lower NBA team. 

well yeah, thats basically what you pay as being a developed country compared to living in a developing country. I think Sydney is still ok compared to other developed countries though but yeah I heard its getting there. 

On the downside , the gentlemen club over there are BS though hahah 

Congrats

Ok once again I have looked at the past 2 matches.

First game went under. Total set around 161.5 for that game, game hit just 141 and that was with a healthy Damien Martin for Perth. This guy is the best guard defender in the game and he will have a hard task tonight vs Ware but I have faith in him and what Gleeson has going on with his coaching system at Perth. 

The 2nd match, books increased the total to the same total tonight, hovering around 167.5 but that was without Martin and with brand new import Ware who torched Perth for 38 points and Prather also hit 39 points and the game went over and hit 181.

Tonight we get almost the same total of 166.5 even though the last game went over by 14 points? Well I personally believe that the books have set this line a little too high and thats why I will play the UNDER tonight. 

Wildcats like NZ, they know when they really need to perform and with just 4 games remaining after this game, sitting in 7th but only out from 3rd spot by literally 1 game, I expect their defense to show up tonight. In the paint will be fun with Majok vs Knight. Perth's bench has been dismal with scoring as well. Redhage awful, Kenny awful. They just don't have true scorers coming into the game once their starting 5 especially Prather comes off. So I expect a high intensity, playoff kind of game between the 2 teams. 

Thanks for the kind words Ramanujan. I kind of think Hawks show up tonight vs the 36ers who have wrapped up 1st spot. Expect a few 36ers players to maybe play less time these last few games to get them fresh for the post-season. Joey Wright the coach is known for that and seeing that they have already won 17 games, they cannot be caught. So be careful mate if you play 36ers.

As for the WNBL games, they are tough.. Sydney flying right now, they have the guards to beat the Fire and also the middle presence which is needed to stop Batkovic and Co in Townsville but this Townsville team is very tough to beat at home and if they are mentally in this game and ready for a fight, they can blow Sydney out just with their physical presence. Sydney no doubt will be draining 3 balls galore, they just need to sink in. If they don't hit, then game over because Sydney would be silly playing in the paint all game long with Batkovic in there.. Looking at the under for that game as well because it is the highest in the series so far. 

If the Spirit want to be in the top 4 come the end of season, they need to get their offense sorted and why not against a Boomers side playing their 3rd game in just 6 nights which is rare in the WNBL. Spirit's coach said that last week's schedule screwed them against Canberra and they just ran out of legs after playing 2 games in 23 hours which is brutal. Six days later, at home and he said they need to change their game plan. I am hoping they come out of the gates run and gun style against a tired team playing 3 games in 6 days. 

Mine closed at 191.5 ----> equiv 230 in a 48 min game 

it sure does. I don't believe anyone will be able to stop them. They just have too much offensive power and the NBL is all about offense and no defense these days. But as you know, its only a 3 game series so you don't have much time to make up if you have just 1 poor game. Last years finals series was atrocious purely because of the travel between Perth and NZ and that was shown in Game 3 when NZ just traveled too much and put up a horrible performance.
