2013/14 NBL Season + Off-season news/Boomers

[JK]

Listening to SEN this morning, and Nigel Purchase was tipping Perth to win the Final 2-zip.

Having not seen any games this year, whilst it seems Perth have been strong for quite a while, do informed posters give us much chance in Final series?

i'm on board...

I think the Wildcats might win 2-1 they have been the best team this season (the GF is 1st vs 2nd) but the 36ers have been the best home team all season which is why I can't see a 2-0 36ers loss being much chance. He's probably a bit sore about what happened to his Melbourne Tigers last night though!

During the regular season Perth & Adelaide split their four meetings 2-2 with the 36ers technically winning the season series by +1 on points differential. In saying that Perth will have home court advantage in the GF with Game 1 and if needed Game 3 over there at Perth Arena and they get huge crowds there (averaged about 11,000 during the season).

The 36ers only lost the season opener in Perth by 3 points and we beat them in Perth last season too.

Good wrap Gozu

I used to as a young fella watch the 36ers regularly, but dropped off in recent year. Went to the Tigers game a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it again.

Im looking at heading to the game, when will tickets be on sale?

I'm not confident on a wildcats 2-0 win. But I bloody hope it is coz I wanna be there for the win.


I know it was the obvious choice but still pretty sure gozu and I tipped this finals match up at start of season. Haha
