NZ to win title, Perth to miss playoffs: Wortho

Game 1, plenty of season to see his predictions play out.
At least he puts his name to his bold predictions unlike the anon poster on here.

If your predictions are bold and way off the mark, then you're on your way to a successful expert commentator career. Good start for Wortho.

LOL @ Wortho

The very first game and already his predictions look way off. Amateur hour.

I think most people I have seen predictions agree that the top 5 (in no particular order) of

NZ
Melbourne
Perth
Adelaide
Sydney

will be competing for the top 4 spots and the result will be dependent on injury and if any changes are made to their team for any reason. I wouldn't be shocked if all 5 of those teams hold top spot at some stage throughout the year. All of them are good teams on paper.

The other 3 are going to be a step back off the pace, but I wouldn't be too shocked if Brisbane or Illawarra provide some upsets and mini winning runs during the season.

The Cats will miss the playoffs eventually.. it may even be this year, but it will be decided on the court not in news papers or interviews with has-beens and morons (Wortho, Homicide).
I never understand why people get upset when someone says their team will miss, it just makes it sweeter when they are wrong.

Anon - "Streaks are meant to be broken" is the most idiotic thing said so far...but Homicide has been quiet so I'll wait a bit."

This wins :D

Homicide pioneered the Donald Trump model of feeding the media completely unhinged and nonsensical sound-bytes just so he can hear himself talk.

Jervis, Kay, White, Norton

Cooke, Walker, Tokoto, Kenny

Was Vague already in the team?

Much obviously depends on White, but you know he'll be out the door if he doesn't perform.

If we're looking purely at the other 3 I much prefer Jervis/Kay/Norton over Cooke/Walker/Kenny.

NZ have just as many questions hanging over their squad this season as Adelaide or Perth.

New Coach
New Imports
No Vukona, Loe or Pledger
Abercrombie is another year older
New Ownership Group
Webster, Wesley, Weeks & Majok to work in with the existing group & new Imports

I also like the look of the team this season but I think it's going to be really close.

Tokoto and Cooke are significantly better than White and Vague

I guess Boti must of been a huge fan of JP Tokoto and Derek Cooke Jr and views them as big losses

Boti also has perth missing the playoffs, never thought perth would be underrated after signing two boomers

I see he is a "commentator" now so that's why. Hopefully he has thousands of hours of media training otherwise it's going to get ugly.

Wortho? LOL! Who asked him/why would anyone ask that bonehead for predictions? He saw NZ's performance against NBA so probably went for them. No thought at all put into this. Again, why ask him? surely there are more thoughtful and articulate ex NBLers out there? Baffling.

Adelaide to easily make top 4 as once again the haters choke on their words again. Too many kids on school holiday on here like AD...

Homicide had DeLeon in his list of top guards but not Sobey...

He’s a new marquee commentator for this season. If he’s not making bold predictions then he’s not doing his job.
