NBL Semi Final predictions
With the Taipans easily beating the Crocs and slipping up into 3rd spot, we now have a Reptile Rumble Semi Final with the Crocs and the Taipans up against each other and the Breakers and Wilcats fighting it out for the other Finals spot.
As a Breakers fan I feel fairly comfortable with the Wildcats as their opponent in the Semi's even with the travel distances. Sure they kaned NZ in Perth earlier in the season but since then they have lost Knight and Redhage and are a far different team as a result. Being playoff games, I expect the final score lines to be pretty close but I'm gonna pick NZ to take game 1 and 2.
The Crocs have been playing some great team basketball lately and I fully expect them to take the series Vs the Taipans and like the Breakers Perth series I expect it to be over in 2 games. Nothing against Cairns but Townsville have a great team and coach and have played superbly the last few months where Cairns have been a bit up and down.
No blowouts in either series.
