Hawks vs Blaze, Oct 15
Very first game of the 2010/11 season. Hawks up 14-8 early. Campbell and Davidson are playing for the Hawks. Wortho fine for the Blaze.

Another 'underdog' winning. I think the bookies have got some of the teams pegged totally wrong. Blaze and Tigers early season form well off the pace.

Hawks were favourites in this game with teh bookies XY, Blze were paying 2.30!
Unless Goulding ramps up his output the Blaze will struggle, seriously lacking an explosive guard who can get hot and create his own shot and get into the paint!

...and the Sixers on Sunday.
What do you think of Gleeson, Statman. Obviously Joey doesn't have a lot of faith if he could only afford to rest Gibbo for 3 minutes the entire game. And when's Cadee due back?
Nice to see Garlepp get a shot.

Might have been two upsets Skull, but I felt the Kings and Hawks would win tonight. They are the more balanced teams.
Blaze have been horrible in pre-season and clearly aren't gelling as a team yet. I actually think their roster is unbalanced with too many perimeter players. Someone like Rickert would have been very helpful on their team.
Tigers are the same, being way too top heavy and slow. GC should trade the Tigers either Harvey or Goulding for Burston, then both teams would look better. (Actually on second thoughts, don't do that. Send Burston back to Adelaide where he would be damned useful!)

Kings were an upset (on the road against an at-the-time more fancied team) but the Hawks were narrow favourites.
After last night's games, Kings are up to $12, Hawks slight improvers, Tigers down to $10 and Blaze to $5. Breakers have improved from $6 to $5.50. 36ers now clearly trailing at $17.
Tonight, Kings are favourites against the Breakers, Crocs favourites against Cairns, and the Cats are $1.55 favourites against the 36ers.
