Congrats BB bro Well deserved win.

You're also definitely in the running for the double, too. That would be cool.

Predictably enough the two big guns square off in the final. Hopefully we can see an injury free finals, as I know how much it sucks to have guys not available through injury.

Will tactics choices make the difference?

Any predictions? I am going to say KK in 3…with the third going to OT.

Suspect you're right, I was willing to give away game 1 knowing I have a chance at winning 2 straight with a bit more enthusiasm but HCA is still pretty potent at this time. I've had seasons where it bailed me out in the past though so there's no sour grapes.

Well I am off back to Div II again. Last time I was here I won 3 games. This time I won 8 and was a lot more prepared. Missed the goal of not being relegated unfortunately. Hopefully I can make it back for season 58 and win more than 8. Good luck to everyone for next season.

Sorry Moose,

It shouldn't of been me you were playing but my GS the past few weeks has been terrible, loosing games I should've won.

Note you got unlucky on the side of the draw too, you were second last in Great 8 on 8 wins, 9 wins on our side would've had you top 4.

Come back bigger and stronger!

Yeah pretty good strategy...the enthusiasm might make up the difference but as you say HCA is difficult to overcome.

I just find it difficult to bring myself to play less enthusiasm for a finals game - but I have never won an ABBL final series or Cup final game so I am not someone to emulate.

Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series plays out.

Wow...........

Epic prediction!


Epic game, too. Grunter has to have earned his way into the Aussie HOF for that performance.

Damn. I can't even stay mad about it because I know we created the greatest ABBL finals since season 11 where Couto Costa hit "the shot"

This would've been "the dunk" if not for a desparation play that I have to admit was an honest foul;

5 0:00 102 - 102 D. Houghton (H) goes up strong for a dunk
5 0:00 102 - 102 J. Duffield (A) is called for a shooting foul.
5 0:00 102 - 103 D. Houghton (H) sinks the free throw.
5 0:00 102 - 103 A. Lovell (A) brought in for G. Xinlei (A) at PF.
5 0:00 102 - 104 The free throw by D. Houghton (H) is up and in.
5 0:00 102 - 104 End of period.

Awesome game…shame some one has to lose.

Now maybe you guys lose a player or two each and give someone else a shot 😀

It had everything:
* Massive comeback;
* Multiple lead changes;
* Stars rising to the challenge.

This was pretty cool...

3 points down with 9 seconds to go. :0

4 0:09 90 - 90 A. Grünter (H) attempts a three-point shot from the wing over J. Laga'aia (A). Scored.


3 points down with 26 seconds to go. :0

5 0:26 102 - 102 A. Grünter (H) is forced to take a very long three pointer over J. Laga'aia (A). Scored.


I was watching, too, and the shot was from loooooooong distance.

I knew I was in trouble when I saw you had dropped to 5th. Hopefully when I make it back I am a little wiser again.
