The Breakers should have this easily and use the home court advantage wisely.

CJ and Boucher will insipire the win due to their past experience of winning these types of games.

ha - a few people have asked me that...

my wife has a conference there and her trip is fully paid. I am tagging along. We thought it was a good chance to go for a holiday for cheap + NBA playoffs.

it also helped that we had Gabe Freeman at the time ;)

Perhaps the Breakers should've played this GF series at a bigger venue like their previous venue the Trusts stadium?

Mystro, do you know what is the maximum capacity for the NSEC?

just under 4200 I believe, their have been calls made to move the Finals to Vector Arena which seats 12,000 but Breakers owners have said it's not going to happen and I agree with them as it removes a lot of the Breakers home court advantage. They will not sell out Vector, it will not have the same atmosphere as a jam packed NSEC, most of the seating is quite far back off where the court would be reducing fans view and involvement. The Breakers have played all season @ NSEC and should play their first NBL final and win there and hang the championship banner there also ;)

Trust Stadium has a pretty shitty atmosphere and all NZ's best players come from the North Shore and most of the Breakers live around the North Shore, keep it at the NSEC
