ha i remember this league, christ almighty. Talk about score fest in some of these games, and to think the Phoenix Suns were the only team that knew how to score 120 a game

nicely done, when are the games usually scheduled? every wednesday and weekends or it varies?
Generally there is a game every day, approx 13 or so each week (i.e round). :cheers:
Just playing the total for the game in NZ, at least 5-8 points too high IMO.
In terms of side can't get a read of this Breakers team especially their imports as I have never heard or seen them play. No Mee for the Snakes is enough to lay off coupled with the team's historic problems in playing on the road.
This one goes in 11 hours:
u203.5 Breakers v Taipans

what book are you using for this? Pinny?
I'm using both Centrebet and Pinny for NBL, which obviously won't help Americans.
thegreek are offering lines for the NBL (both side and totals) for anyone interested
On to friday night and I was not initially intending to play but had a change of heart.
Hawks have had undergone the most change in terms of their roster during the offseason with 9 changes all up, losing franchise player Saville and their two American imports Groves and Ballinger. They've picked up two solid imports in Franklin and Peters this season however are very light on in terms of depth especially in their frontcourt. Most of their players have come from other clubs as role players and not asked to play as starters, at best they are of ABA standard. They went 2-3 in the preseason and showed they will be competitive for most of the game but their lack of depth will ultimately hurt them in games. Expect them to compete for the first half similar to the Blaze in opening night but fall away in the second half. 36ers have a clear advantage in the frontline tonight, Hawks will get killed on the boards IMO.
Tip off in around 7hr 30min from now:
Adelaide 36ers -8 over Hawks

Good luck Rod, thanks for all the thoughts.
I'm seeing a total of 199.5, which is probably too high IMO given the Sixers themselves have had few changes to their roster. Won't be suprised if this is a bit of a scrappy affair, however I just don't see where the Hawks offense is going to come from outside their two imports.
Settled with one for tonight. Hawks showed last night against the Sixers that they are going to bringing up the rear of the table this season and struggled against the Sixers talls. With two of the best big men in the league in Anstey and Muursepp the Tigers will have this game won by HT. Not even a backdoor cover will screw this up for me as Tigers have one of the deepest rosters in the league
Tigers -14.5 over Hawks (8)
Tigers -14.5 over Hawks (8)
Well the Hawks fuck me over again with another garbage time cover with the Tigers winning by 12, them the breaks. Lesson learnt on my part, not going to lay double digits for the first month of the season.
No play for me on Sunday
YTD (3-2-0) +0.5 units
Back for Round 2 in a couple of days time.
