NBL 2011/12 tips off tonight
Breakers take the win over the Blaze 102/87. Worthington with 28 and Will Hudson with 18 for GC and Gibson had 14 points and 6 assists . For NZ Abercrombie 25 points @ 73% and 9/9 from the freethrow line along with 21 from Wilkinson @ 69% FG and 3/3 from outside the arc. Vukona 16 @ 67% and Cedric Jackson had 11 points 7 rebounds 5 assists and a steal.
Now hopefully they can back it up against the Hawks.


tigers and kings will be neck and neck, i would have predicted sydney if bogut had suited up, but without him i think its going to go down to the wire but the tigers by 8.
goldcoast to beat nz in another nail biter, i think goldcoast should come out of it by 5

Tigers result will depend a lot on how Mills & Ubaka work together. In the Tigers practice match against the Boomers Ubaka was all over Mills and looked like he was out to prove a point. In the Tigers first practice against Sydney Mills started on the bench but lit up when he eventually came on for Ubaka. With both of them on it looked kinda awkward.
Sydney looked tough in the practices and with a full squad will be hard to stop. Tigers are a chance if Burston: A) is healthy and B)has some input.
Kings by 3.
GCB v NZB should be a close one. Harvey missing again will hurt the Blaze and the Breakers have a point to prove without Penny. NZ by 8.



I'll pick the Kings by 8. Somehow I'm feeling that Patty will become another Homicide for the Tigers: a good player that can get a stat line, but it just too costly on turnovers.
I think GC can top the Breakers by 12. Wortho will be a gun as normal, but I think GC really need to milk Goulding for as many points as possible. The kid has a Penney-like shooting repetoire and I think could easily be their main man on offense in another 1-2 seasons.

Should be a really entertaining game tonight - Tigers by 4. Khazzouh to rack up a big double-double.
I'm also predicting a very long season yet again for Adfelaide fans I'm afraid...



It's live into New Zealand, so hopefully the lovely person from NZ that streamed the Boomers V Tall Blacks games can continue to do so with the NBL games.




Kings by 4.
Khazzouh 20 & 10
Mills 29% from the field
Ubaka struggles & Walker throws down a couple big dunks
