It was another great round of basketball. In the women's the North-Mavs games would have been excellent. Like I said before, if you're a Mavs fan then you can't complain your team isn't playing in exciting games and you're not getting value for money.
South & Centrals women could have gone either way and that game saw the debut of a very promising talent at Centrals.
Tigers & Warriors women could have gone either way as well, but Warrior's forced too many turnovers.
While the women's comp seems to have a number of gaps, the exciting thing is seeing a lot of juniors come through. There is an impressive list for "Rookie of the Year" award and judges will find it hard to find a clear winner.
In the men's, 3 of the 5 games were won by 6 points - that's two good shots. The final 5 for the men's comp will probably be determined by the last play on the last round and I reckon there will be a lot of noggin scratching to work out the splits and final positions.


They couldn'r crush the Lions the other round. Sturt have improved as the season has gone on and there tends to be a switch installed in the neck of Sturt players that gets flicked from "good" to "evil" at home matches. They also knocked off Al Green's "Green Machine" at home.
What makes you think Westies will crush those blue baggers?

No, my reference was nothing to do with that. In a previous string someone said they had picked a gig up over there, or something. Maybe they were referring to that. Good luck to them if they did it.



Boomers were drawn in Group A with defending Olympic Champions Argentina, Russia and Lithuania, and Iran, with the last spots going to a yet t be determined qualifier. They have therefore avoided the USA and Spanish teams. Tough group.
Opals landed in Group A with arch-rivals Russia, Korea, and 3 of the yet to be named qualifiers from the pre-olympic qualifying tournament. They have avoided the USA for the short term.
If I was Goorj, I'd be telling Mills now to start studying up on Ginobili!
