Back to back games

Back to back games are not ideal and the NBL admit it. They try to avoid it but can't always succeed. I personally feel that they should be avoided at all costs. There is no doubt whatsover that a back to back game creates an unfair disadvantage to a team who has to do it.. They may complain about it but they have every right to because it is a major influence on the game itself. Its also an influence on injuries to players. Whilst its fair that most teams are affected by it, its not fair on an individual basis. If anyone looked at it from a legal perspective, I would imagine that there is an avenue for suing the NBL for its scheduling if a player can prove that an injury is a direct result of the schedulng of games. For example, a minor injury in the first game is greatly exacerbated by playing again less than 24 hours later with nowhere near long enough to recover from the first injury. This then creates an injury that sees this player sidelined for 6 weeks and the disadvantage of 1 back to game game affects the next 6 weeks.

Friday and Saturday will always draw the biggest crowds considering it is end of week and most people want to chill.

Unfortunately for Adelaide, crowd attendance is based upon performance. If the team could go on a 5 game streak; we'd be looking at 7000+ crowds every game.

Most fans at the dome on a game-by-game basis are season ticket holders and loyalists (which 90% are one in the same).

Had we only lost the NZ game in the past road trip; then Adel v. Perth would have been an 8000 sellout.
