Kicks off tonight boys - Breakers v Blazer and Tigers v Kings


Who else is playing?

[IDunno89]

Was going 2 but thought it didn't kick off for another month....

Most likely have a play

[hawley]

Have already booked the Tigers Kings over.

Will likely have more plays later

[IDunno89]

I'll tail that 1

[hawley]

I'll tail that 1

Not much to base it on being the first game of the season but I did read the Tigers will push the ball in transition and play an up tempo style, and with the number of offensive threats hopefully there are plenty of FTs and points.

Like the Breakers over as well. Blaze and Breakers generally put up close to 200 points but that was with Penney. I am not sure how the Breakers will play but they are terrible on D, commit so many fouls and still have a few legit threats - Bruton & Wilkinson.

[kingsr]

Good luck Hawley...I will be watching this spot. Please post your plays in BOLD format so they are visible easily.

What number do you have for the overs?

[hawley]

Will confirm all plays in bold before tip off and spreadsheet will be updated.

Looking at a few 1q plays for tonight.

[hawley]

Breakers total is up to 176.5 at Pinny. Locking in 174 and over at TAB.co.nz

Two plays so far

Breakers / Blaze 174 points and over (TAB.co.nz)

Kings / Tigers 163 points and over (Tab.co.nz)

greeting,

Melbourne v Sydney
I think this will be a physical game, so play O/U is a hard one to gauge. But I like the tigers with Patty Mills at point & outside threat, Sydney will depend on their frontline for offense with Julian Khazzouh, a double-double.

Take Melbourne -4.5
__________________________
Gold Coast v New Zealand
This agree, both teams will play a run and guns style of basketball; constantly push the ball with upper tempo.
I like the Blaze to take care of business at home.
the score projected: Gold Coast 97-83

Take Gold Coast (-6.5)
Take Over 173.5

good luck all

[IDunno89]

Got 1.5U on each good luck boys

[kingsr]

Got breakers 173.5 with sporting bet

[hawley]

bro are you watching this game? I have kings TT over 80.5.

I have no idea how it wont cash.

[brettels]

I was lucky if I could get 50% last year with nbl, its such a coin flip of a group of amateurs, my 2011 rate for NBL is 0% after tonight and its staying that way, good luck to the rest of you this year but im staying away from this pick pocketing sport.

[kingsr]

OMG HOLY SHITE!!!!! Come on!!!!

I will finish up units I am confident

In such an average league you just have to stomach sick shit happening.

[hawley]

un fukn real. Kings score about 6 points in 6 minutes

That one hurts guys even if it is only opening night.

After last season and will be this season as well, im not going to give myself the chance to stomach the bullshit that comes out of NBL, good luck to you though.

[kingsr]

kings meltdown...at least the TT came in, I dont know how but it did haha

I'm with Brettels, I'm done, win lose or draw here. Can't stomach such a terrible tournament..It's hard after watching NBA for so long!

1 - 2 - 1 with one pending.

That game has left me bitter

[kingsr]

We need a 50-60 point Q in this game...the fuks have slowed down!

oh boy...going to go have a shower and a beer and will be back to check in on that game soon.

Still amused the Kings managed to blow that game.

Anyone who took the Kings +5.5 or similar got butt fukked too.

[kingsr]

Cash the over BOY

Recovery

[hawley]

I needed that to improve a bad night.

We got the track meet I expected here although I am extremely surprised to see the Breakers get the win. Just makes it all the sweeter

2 - 2 - 1 on the night lost a little on the juice, not ideal but a long season to go.


still shaking my head at the earlier game. Hopefully anyone who tailed the over watched it to see how bad it was at times and the Kings shat the bed in the final 6 minutes.


Back tomorrow. Loving the look of the Taipans Crocs under but will wait a while to book it.

[kingsr]

I went 2-1 but I'm still not playing NBL anymore...YUK!
