NBL & WNBL Week 8

Question

NBL: 17-11WNBL: 10-9Lets get this round started should we? Some teams are starting to find it crunch time. Looks like your going to need 500% to reach the playoffs this season with every team still able to get into the post-season. Some teams need to improve and others are starting to slide. Anyways, im taking this play now for tomorrow nights game.Sydney Kings @ Illawarra Hawks: Over 174.5Two words, Josh Childress. He is back and he is everything to this Kings team. He will bring a lot more offense to this team and not much defense. Thats the same with Hawks. They don&#x27;t know what D is either. Love this play because both teams are coming off unders and also both lost last weekend so expect the pace to be ramped up. Hawks in their 4 home games have scored 96, 99, 96 and 96. Kings on the road have allowed 99.96, and 74 in NZ. I think this game will be very similar to the last time they met in Sydney where the Hawks won 100-86. Kings are a different team with Childress back so maybe they can upset the Hawks. I will take the over instead to see how he goes first game back.BOL forum

Very good job, my aussie friend....Aussie bball games are in the morning here in europe so can follow you always...very good work you and Freddyps: you are a good capper, why no follow australian soccer? is not much good for the low quality players but is fun and full of goals...no like at all?

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Hi Ciccio, how are you my friend? How is it in Italy? Must be getting cold now heading into winter..Beautiful country and people, have been many times and would love to keep going back.As for the Australian soccer, I do watch it and I do follow the Wanderers but I don&#x27;t like betting on it. Plenty of goals and plenty of dogs win as well but I try and stay away from Australian soccer because it is so unpredictable. Hope you are well

Sorry Coach, I lean the other way tonight. Melbourne with revenge and just the better team and coach against this Crocs team. I know there was a massive upset last weekend, and it could possibly happen again tonight but I don&#x27;t see it unfortunately but I could be completely wrong like I was last weekend.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Melbourne United @ Townsville Crocs: Melbourne -4.5

Going to go with my initial guy feel to this game from last night. Think that Melbourne come out guns blazing and win this game and win it big. Apart from last weekend's debacle against the same Crocs team, they have flogged Townsville in the other matches. You could say that Melbourne was looking ahead to facing NZ (potential finals match-up) and you could say that Melbourne just stunk the court up as well because Crocs put in 110% last weekend. Still, this Melbourne team now has had some rest to get over the 2 games last weekend and had some time to train in Townsville. Expect Goulding, Holt, Majok and others to go ape on this Crocs team. Something like 94-81 Melbourne..

Ouch. Tough loss that one. Steindl with the dagger to bring it within 2 and then Warrick hits just 1 free throw. Melbourne -4.5 1-1 from the week so far.

Davenz · Answer

Unlucky Aussie. I watched all of that game. Can't fault both teams effort.

Townsville threw everything at that game. Can't help but feel that took a lot out of them. Backing up at one of the best home teams in the league in the Hawks, in 38 hours is going to be a big ask.

blind_freddie · Answer

Tough beat for us both mate. The Crocs really seem to lift for the top teams. Tomorrow&#x27;s another day

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Agree DaveNZ, it was a low scoring battle but a good battle I would admit.. Very big ask now for the Crocs to play the Hawks on tomorrow.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Strange, no WNBL tonight. Only tomorrow and Sunday. Wonder why they did that with the schedule. Anyways, 2 very good games tonight. Love the Perth/NZ match-up, looking forward to seeing that game and to see how NZ match-up. Webster has been on fire and their bigs are going to challenge Jawai, Knight and Jervis. Gotta say I lean NZ in this game as they have been the best team in the league since getting Webster back. Beal might have a handful with Webster and Jackson in this game. Perth&#x27;s boards aren&#x27;t going to come easy like they have been against weaker teams.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Tough call Coach. Really depends on which Adelaide team shows up tonight &#x2B; they lost their starting centre last week. Cairns have very good defense and were unlucky last weekend vs Perth. That game is a real head scratch.

Hey Aussie, looks like you are doing well in the NBL.

What do you reckon of the under 175.5 between Cairns n Adelaide? I'm leaning Cairns as they are great at home and their defense has been top-notch and the under.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Hey mate, it does look good that 1H over, only issue for me is that the Cairns D can really step up for this game and if little Randle get shut down, then its all over for the over.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

NZ Breakers @ Perth Wildcats: NZ Breakers +4.5

Going with the inform team IMHO.. This is going to be a great game. NZ with Webster are a completely better team. They are not 7-1 S/U since his return. Only loss was by 1 point to Melbourne around 2 weeks ago where they lead that game until late in the 4Q. Perth get Martyn back tonight which I think is way too early for a guy who broke his jaw and lost some teeth. He is wearing a full face mask thing. Hopefully Pledger and the NZ bigs can control Jawai, Knight and Jervis in this game.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Hey Enjoi, good to see you  here mate.. Good game mate but playing an under in any 36ers game is dangerous because this team straight up does not defend at all. The total is set high but these 2 teams met just 3 weeks ago and the game hit an amazing 205 points. Game before that hit just 167 but that was without Randle for the 36ers.

AussieDownUnder · Answer

Adelaide 36ers @ Cairns Taipans: Adelaide 36ers TT Under 86.5

Going with 36ers TT under. The Taipans have not allowed more than 87 points at home for (wait for it).......................... 20 home games. Amazing defense at home and with Adelaide missing their centre, their 2nd chance points might be limited in this game and i think the Taipans will have a good game plan for Randle.
