Who will win the NBL championship??

@formosa,

... NZ did a three-peat, but it's Wildcats that are like watching the Williams sisters in the final??

You should be hoping for Cairns/Melbourne GF then!

Anyway, halfway through, starting to get hard to see anyone but NZ taking this out. Injuries always the great unknown, of course.

in the current 'best of three' series....who ever ends up on top will win the title.
have said for a long time that NBL should be 'best of five' for grand final series.

all depends on who gets top. my money is on breakers and personally I hope they win.
I don't mind the cats but its like watching one of the Williams sisters in tennis make every grand slam final. after a while it becomes a bore unless of course you like them. would be great to see cairns v breakers or breakers v Sydney/Melbourne but I don't hold my breathe for that one

Don't think hca bothers perth or nz, it helps. Nz won here, perth lead over there and i dont see a reapeat performance if it did come to the gf. Keep saying it and i always will, if we had a fit d martin, would have been differnt! + cj, killed us with the dagger threes! Still will be happy with goin to the big dance again and having that chance to go back to back!

Home court will be crucial.

You would think whoever finishes 4th would be out of contention after the first major round.

Whoever finishes top has a distinct advantage and I would argue that looks like the Breakers.

They have two more games against each of the Crocs and Hawks. Probably safe to assume 3 or 4 out of 4 for them. They are 1-1 against the Sixers and with two more games could be 1 or 2 more W's.

They lost to the Kings on their home court, but with 2 more games left, might drop the Boxing Day game, but should get the 4th game. They have one more home game against Melbourne and are 2-1, so should end up 3-1.

That leaves them to tackle Perth (currently 2-0) and Cairns (1-1) I think the home game will secure the series against Perth and they play them on the Sunday after a Thursday game, so the series might end up 3-1. Even if they lose 0-2 I think they will get the split there as they are +21 at the moment so can afford narrow losses.

Cairns in Cairns on Sunday will be the crucial game IMO. They meet in the final game, but if NZB can get the win against Cairns on Sunday, I think they will finish top.

I think it'll be NZB to lift that trophy this season.

H2H in any tiebreaker.
Then points differential.

Actual percentage for all games is the final tiebreak if I recall correctly.

I've got the Breakers and Wildcats both finishing 20-8, and it's hard to see NZ not winning the title from there.

The more interesting question for me is fourth: I've got Sydney and Melbourne both at 14-14 and they've yet to play each other.

Breakers I think could see Perth, Cairns or Melbourne maybe.
