@AussieBenC True. SA only chance would be to force a G6 then i think the pressure would be big at home to close. I think NY win at least 1 of the 2 coming up.
As much as SA could have levelled the series yesterday SA have looked timid almost playing scared. Their basketball looked the best to my eye going in to the finals. Full credit to NY and i certainly underestimated how good they are right now. Should be a formality from here at home.
@AussieBenC I agree the umpiring was terrible. Well 2 teams have trailed 0-2 with home court and one went to 6 the other was done in 4. I dont know how many games this goes but NY have it won from here.
Yeah NY a big market team obviously so im not surprised with the support. A lot like when Lakers are up there everyone piles in. I have zero bias as i dont support any nba team. Just interesting hearing peoples different opinions. I did hedge Knicks at big odds a while back and i got out of my boston bet and backed Knicks to win East. So im not surprised they are here.
@AussieBenC I dont think it really matters. I watch a lot of Basketball and this Spurs team is so dam good. So in tune it’s frightening. I would be absolutely shocked if NY beat them if Spurs stay healthy. Then i’ve underestimated NY. Wemby would have to guard KAT or OG obviously.
Spurs have to be $1.20 to $1.30 favourites to win this Title. Best team in the league. If anyone wants to know what “Team” sport is watch the Spurs play.
San Antonio is my biggest championship result followed by OKC. Reading Williams is out tomorrow for OkC. What a game this is going to be. OKC have to be favoured at home but i still think SA are a better team right now. I love how SA play together. Team sport at its finest.
4 teams are capable of winning the nba. Okc, SA, Boston & Denver. I do expect Okc to go B 2 B. My best result along with Boston winning the East. Denver have a brutal draw and i just cant see it but they are double figures.
@Tipsterrr Couldnt agree more. They completely blew G2 in Adelaide up 14 late in 3rd which should have been 16. Also in a great spot G4 but certainly shouldnt have gone to G5. Adelaide would be filthy they lost that yesterday.
@nbawithkev A bit like last yr mate. Utd hung around while Illawarra were the better side. I expect Syd to really ramp up the defence to a level Adel cant match.
Sydney have dominated this series and should have wrapped this up by now. Kept Adel to 86pts per game with 93 being their highest total. I think Sydney will win G5 pretty comfortably. The better team by a mile to my eye and off the data.
Adelaide now rank 7th defensively and 3rd offensively. Its crazy they are even in the GF with those numbers. Syd rate around 12 pts better per 100 poss.
