Tigers ML tonight

Agree on the Kings and Bogut MrXYZ - he would of been putting up the most ridic numbers in this league. Him and Khazzouh inside would of been scary.

**hawley** · 10-30-11, 04:09 AM

Tigers are dreadful.

NBA point guard cannot penetrate and all they do is jack hideous jumpers all game.

I will take this loss and take a break from the NBL.

Cannot win with amateurs

**hawley** · 10-30-11, 04:12 AM

perhaps we can win with live betting.

2q u28.5 live

edit: err looks like b365 did accept it after all

**hawley** · 10-30-11, 05:20 AM

Boom. Shaping up as a better night.

Huge comeback from the Tigers.

Looked like a legitimate contender in the 2h there.

3 - 0 on the night with the two live bets posted.

Season Record: 19 - 11 - 1 +4.4u

ah thanks I guess. Time to make a few more units.

Big spread for Breakers tonight but they are playing their first game at their proper home after raising the banner from last years win. Could easily be another blow out.

Adelaide covered a big spread last week in Perth and won SU but I don't know if I can take them.

Like the over as with every Breakers game but they have been an under machine lately.

**Gee** · 11-02-11, 11:29 PM

Its a fairly ridiculous road trip... Adelaide to Perth, back to Adelaide, to Auckland.

i think 9 is a bit too much, but no play there. Don't trust adelaide.

Help me out here. I like the over. Is it a bit high? All it takes is a slow 3-4 mins to ruin it.

**MatI** · 11-02-11, 11:31 PM

Hawley, do you know of any websites with in depth stats, etc. The NBL website is hopeless. The last couple of years I have just kept my own database...

Tough trip for sure, all the way out to Perfff then back over here.

I think returning back to their natural home court should see the Breakers drop in plenty of points tonight. One of the big problems is they are much more committed on the defensive end and have got rid of a couple of terrible defenders - Penney and Henare while picking up a pretty pesky one in Jackson.

If Perth and the 36ers can put up 190ish I can't imagine why these two cant?

Mate I don't know of anything but would love to find one.

Problem is everything about the NBL is garbage so I assume this will follow suit.

**MatI** · 11-03-11, 12:09 AM

haha, jut found one actually, check this shit out!

New Zealand Breakers - Adelaide 36ers, Australian NBL : AnnaBet.com

http://annabet.com/en/basketballstats/h2h.php?team1=598&team2=603

I'm going to really try and stay away from this league if I can help it. BUT, I have made a nice profit from the last couple of days (read degenerate) so im going to take 2 units on NZ -9.

GL. I know I wont be watching on TV.

**Gee** · 11-03-11, 12:12 AM

lol NBL battles to survive most seasons, let alone paying anyone to keep all the stats

Hawley: i agree that the game should be very similar to the Perth game, but the Breakers have worried me the last two games. I guess 36ers will play fast like against cats though... i'm going to have just half a unit on over. I like that pinny moved it from 168.5 and over is the juiced side.

This game should be on SKY in NZ, so if anyone has a stream, post up

thanks.

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 12:30 AM

I guess you watched the 36ers last week? did they play at a good tempo? they didn't seem to have too many problems scoring?

I am confident the Breakers will not shoot the same % they have been recently

**Gee** · 11-03-11, 12:49 AM

yeah, i went to the game last week.

In fairness, I was pretty drunk (so this is my best recollection), but they got past the Wildcats trap pretty easy and scored on the 4 on 3 after that. If they play a similar game style it should go over. As usual, Wildcats played very quick and didnt have many problems scoring themselves.

I do expect a similar game. 169.5 is probably the highest over I will play this season.

Don't forget re: Breakers that only one game should have gone over and that was the season opener. We all know what happened v Hawks in round 2 an its been under city every since. In the pinny lean I am trusting today though.

This league is more fun than anything. I dont think I'll have a 2unit bet on anything this year - i just can't find big edges. I'll bet very wildcats game I go too though

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 01:07 AM

Everything from now on will probably only be a 1u play for me.

I loved the over last week in the Breakers game and got buried. I cant imagine I will play another 5x play all season bar the playoffs possibly.

Only play tonight.

Over 168.5 at TAB

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 02:06 AM

Cedric Jackson is a fukkn beast.

Except I left him on the bench in my fantasy teams

May flirt with a triple double again.

**Gee** · 11-03-11, 02:16 AM

Yup.

These guys are going to put up 200.

Breakers -9 is a lock too. I shoulda known Breakers were undervalued and 36ers overvalued after the last few weeks. Breakers are the much classier team.

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 02:18 AM

Game going exactly to script right now.

Glad to see the shots dropping for the Breakers. They are a different beast at NSEC

**Gee** · 11-03-11, 02:29 AM

not even going to follow the 2nd half. I bet you are glad you didn't go.

this can't be good for the league.

104 point first half. Breakers up 22.

have a good night buddy.

**Gee** · 11-03-11, 03:37 AM

lol, cash the over.

that breakers didn't cover. Point shaving at the end? They were up by 13 with only 41 seconds left! Then gave up an easy dunk, then a steal off the inbound.

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 03:40 AM

Garbage last few minutes.

Our local had -8.5 so would of cashed but pinny was 9 at closing I think? Sick beat for Breakers backers. Why were the 36ers even fouling. really..

Breakers shot 54% from the floor

1 - 0 on the night

Season record: 20 -11 - +5.5ish units.

**MatI** · 11-03-11, 03:41 AM

Well done guys

I cant believe they didnt cover in the end. I bet if they had a 5 point lead the majority of the game they would have covered! I got the push atleast.

All I was thinking about in those final few minutes was spread backers.

Glad you got a push but with a 26 point lead there is no way you should not of cashed your bet. Just another reminder of what happens in the NBL

**MatI** · 11-03-11, 03:53 AM

Indeed. I was following the scores on my phone and it was 20+ heading into HT, but I knew this is NBL and its where un-amazing happens.

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 01:43 PM

Anyone else like the Tigers tonight?

**hawley** · 11-03-11, 06:17 PM

Tigers opened as 1 point dogs but I would not be at all surprised to see them close at PK or with the Tigers favoured.

**hawley** · 11-04-11, 03:10 AM

Tigers ML tonight.

3 - 0 on the night with the two live bets posted.

Season Record: 19 - 11 - 1 +4.4u

Playing at tempo and getting out in transition makes the Tigers a real threat.

Still big issues with them being undersized but they have so many scoring threats.

Kings are a joke, an absolute joke

Cashing this one with the Kings up 30 in the 3q.

Season Record: 21 - 11 -1 +6.5u

**binomial** · 11-04-11, 06:47 PM

hard to believe coach mcleod wont go with showron glover tonight given he had 6 assists in the 4:52 he was allowed at the end of the game versus mighty rhys martin with 1 assist in 21:52 and tyson demos 2 assists in 21:22. hopefully this cuts into campbell's court time as well who looks way past it.

my thinking is perth aren't great without martin and tempted to play wollongong +12.5.

He was really impressive off the bench in the late stages of the game. I remember checking the box score and he was leading assists despite play a few minutes.

I have no idea about tonights game. Hopefully Gee stops by and lends his opinion or I may lay off and look at tomorrows game.

**MrXYZ** · 11-05-11, 04:15 AM

A tough game. I'm leaning hawks but gonna pass & stick to the under in this one.

Nice call bro

Didn't play the game, had the Kiwi's first half -20.5 which I thought Marshall had buried with his poor kicking but got lucky with a try on the hooter to cash it.

**hawley** · 11-05-11, 11:18 AM

win with the kiwis 1h right on half time then lose the australia 1h in similar fashion. I had a feeling it was coming when some big english fukk bumped off a tackle on half way.

**hawley** · 11-05-11, 03:06 PM

total for tonights NBL game seems pretty low..

I know Taipans struggle to score at times but the Tiges seem to have realised they are most dangerous pushing in transition and attacking so I can see them score 85+ again tonight

**Gee** · 11-06-11, 03:20 AM

Hawley. This game spells under.

You may be right, but it is a bet on faith alone. Small under 159.5 play.
