Match Previews (Tuesday July 16th)

Serial Thrillers @ Saleeba Globetrotters. The trotters have been looking good lately, but the thrillers will just be too classy. Thrillers

Flames @ Frenja Fireworks. Frenja have been taking steps towards the playoffs, this game will be a step back! Flames

HawthornFC @ Perth City Kings. Hawks will take last game as a reminder that this league is getting stronger but its bad timing as they hit an ever improving kings side. Kings

Valley Eagles @ Dannys Boys. Just another demonstration of how much difference there is in skill between the conferences. Eagles

Rampaging Marmots @ Burnside Tigers. The Marmots will bounce back after a tough loss, while the tigers continue their horrific season! Marmots

The Mighty Oaks @ aidzz panthers. I’ll give the panthers some credit if they can hold the deficit to under 50 points. Oaks

Jack Hammers @ Lewie The Lip. The Lip showed us that the championship is anyone’s last week, now they are ready to start showing us that it’s theirs! The Lip

St. George Illawarra Dragons @ Southern All-Stars. All-Stars will finally get themselves back on the winners list after a tough last couple of weeks, gee the fans will enjoy this! All-Stars

Match Previews (Saturday 20th July)

Lewie The Lip @ The Mighty Oaks. WOW! Pencil this one in as a game to watch this week! 1st vs 1st, what a game, the oaks should bid themselves lucky to have HCA. Oaks

Burnside Tigers @ Jack Hammers. It will be tough on the road for the tigers, but in the end they will win this one as expected. Tigers

Frenja Fireworks @ Rampaging Marmots. Even if they were at home, the fireworks wouldn’t have a chance. Marmots
Saleeba Globetrotters @ HawthornFC. The trotters can challenge, but the hawks to strong at home in this one. Hawks

Dannys Boys. @ Serial Thrillers. Not a fan of how the thrillers go about things on the court, but it will be enough to get them a win here. Thrillers

Southern All-Stars @ Valley Eagles. Big test for the all-stars, as the wear and tear of the regular season starts to show, a test that they should just pass at DV Stadium! All-Stars

aidzz panthers @ St. George Illawarra Dragons. If ever there was a time for the dragons to win….. It’s now! I’m backing them. Dragons

Perth City Kings @ Flames. The Kings are trying to improve on last season’s poor inter-conference record; this is the game that will show us how much they have improved in our GAME OF THE WEEK! Kings

Well that’s the wrap for this week boys! Sorry it’s a little scrappy as I am trying to figure out a good format, which was why it was a few hours late! Hope you liked anyway and good luck this week! :)

I enjoy writing them!

...I almost agree! lol

+1 Lazz. I think most of your predictions are spot on...

Well, Lewie...good win. A lucky win perhaps...but a win none the less. Thankfully Tambaraja's injury was only a game one or I may have had to go all in or all out! lol

The game was still very handy for me in terms of knowing your strengths and weaknesses and changes needed that will be enough to stop you and the Marmots...


Let's look at it logically.

1. Lewie put more effort in but I had HCA which kind of evens it out although I probably come out a few points ahead; and

2. 7 minutes into the game my best player is injured (Tambaraja); and

3. His direct opponent at SG goes on to be the game's highest score. Importantly he hits 3 threes that he would never have hit otherwise, not to mention fg shooting; and

4. On a BO offense where players are looking to consolidate on player mismatches, losing my best player meant that other players who wouldn't have put up as many shots did...and shot poorly.

With all things considered I think the teams matched up well in this encounter. I personally believe I would have got over the line by a handful had Tambaraja not been injured. But of course, that is just my opinion knowing my players.

So...

...to make sure I keep the pressure up I have upgraded 2 positions in the interim...significantly...

..add this to 5 trainees who are getting better every week...

:-)













@Burnside Tigers...my shooter will be out for a big game Tuesday! :-)

I wonder if my one trainee (and the other two who are older but still get some training) will be more valuable than your five. It's an interesting question!

Only time will tell, my friend...

Haha. As long as you can find excuses to make yourself feel better that's fine with me!!! lol. I'ts all luck mate, i could lose 3 players in the 1st qtr we next play. Shit happens, you lost i won... If i really cared if i won or lost i would have gone all out, but i didn't care either way...

LOL Not using excuses mate just rationalising. You know by my effort that I too could have gone a lot harder. And yeah, saying you were 'lucky' was a tongue-in-cheek comment not meant to be offensive. It's all good. Ultimately, it's going to be a ripper final series. I'm not going anywhere.

@Rabid...if you are referring to Elliot and Bachini I don't think they'll have major impacts this season. Next season definately imo...

All good brother. I love your passion. Bring on the finals.

Agreed. :-)

And you've taken out the Marmots and the Oaks on their own courts! Lewie's boys are the benchmark and the team to beat! ;-)
