With snow predicted for the Adelaide Hills this game will probably depend on who freezes the quickest. Players with icy joints may fall by the wayside. I have a gut feeling that the Tigers may roll on after this match. Those who know of coach Hopkins record as a coach of past Tigers Under 14 boys teams and the number of times they qualified for National Championships will know that he can operate well under pressure. Past Under 14 teams have come third in National tournaments and if you might say that there is no pressure on the coach at that level, imagine playing a team like Nunawading, Eltham, Dandenong, Kilysth, Ballarat etc. for third place. The Vics are serious competitors and Hopkins has beaten such teams in the past so in Saturdays game if the pressure is on in the home straight I'd back the Tiger coach any day.

Just keeping Trebilcock, Bowley and Campbell in the stadium will be a positive outcome for the game of basketball in this state ;)

With Eastern selling their first born to secure the services of Jacob Holmes for this ABL season, heads would be rolling at the club if his performance was less then expected. That being said, it means he will be looking for even more shots then usual to carry his team over the line... Whether this is positive or negative will depend on the day.

To imply that the tigers dont have the guns without Pochintesta is a little misguided. His mid season form slump (due to a foot injury) was at its peak in the last encounter between these two teams, with the Tigers only going down by 6 (from memory) and in that game, his imobility may have been a drawback!
The night before that, the Tigers beat North in OT with pochintesta playing 16 minutes on 1/6 from the field.

Thats the thing about this Tiger team. Rarely does anyone score over 25, but OFTEN there are 5 or 6 guys in the teens with one or two in the 20's.

The Holmes matchup is crucial as is the question of who can step up for the Tigers... Everyone?
