I tip the Hawks by 9

same deal as friday night, breakers were paying $3.30! breakers by 10!

The thing is with the Hawks even if they are lacking in talent they always have the heart and effort (something the Sixers don't have) so you can never count them out. Add to that they are playing on their home court for their first game of the season and they will come out confident. Its never easy to beat Hawks at home.

Either way I think it will be a good game to watch and not sure who to pick.

Hawks by 3.

Looking forward to seeing my boy Joevan Catron!

Hawks are always tough at home.
I'm hoping the Breakers will get it done and go 2-0 for round 1.

24, Dillon Boucher, shot 3pt made

Breakers shooting the ball well again. Abercrombie has hit a couple of 3's. Double digit lead in the 2cnd.

Abercrombie was stifled sharing a team with Penney. As long as he and Wilkinson can perform consistently, they have enough other contributors on the team to succeed.

Hawks have gone from paying $3+ to $1.65 favourites. Reeled in the lead.

And now lost it again. Cedric Jackson with six steals.

a 10-0 run in the 4th helps!

Even that it looks like the Hawks will lose you have to admire their heart and effort. They were down by 14 end of the 1st quarter and the Breakers got it out to 19 in the second quarter but they came back to tie it going into the last quarter. Their fans would appreciate their effort as would the Sixers fans if the Sixers showed the same sort of heart.

well done boys!! 2-0 on a tough opening road trip which hasn't always been a fun one for us!!! interesting to see corletto played 12 minutes and didn't pull up one shot. Cedric Jackson- wow and yeahhhh budddy!!!! Good to see Benny Anthony get some minutes!! Mika, 2 games in a row fouled out!!

Jackson with some great numbers in his 2cnd game and Pledger contributed as soon as he hit the floor. Wilkinson looks to be in great form and hit some nice shots as well as playing decent defense on the Hawks bigs.

I watched the live stats and then only watched the third quarter of the delayed telecast when Vukona got going. Thought Davidson played very well, looked confident.

You missed the Oscar Forman spectacular.
Seems he's a pretty good cook , very popular with the girls and wiped the florr pretty good , last nite.

Just checking out the stats and noticed that Boucher played more than 40 minutes?

How can you do that in a 40 minute game?

Strange thing was that he was not even a starter??

Boucher hit a 3 so he gets to edit his own stats.
Thought the refs were pretty good last night.

I think the 40 minutes by Boucher was just a mistake by the stat people, no way he played 40 last night. Im not sure why Pledger is getting no burn! In the 2 games he averaged 8 and 6 and 1.5 blocks in just 10 mins! he starts for the TBs and was the most valuable player in the NZ league I think, not sure why Lemanis lets him waste away on the bench!

Because the guy in front of him made All NBL Team in his first year in the league and shoots at a much better clip all over the floor. Pledger is a great asset coming off the bench and is only getting better, much in part due to Wilkinsons involvement with him @ training (watch Wilkinsons reactions on the bench when Pledger hits a bucket or blocks someone).
Centres generally develop later than Guards or Forwards so their is no rush with the Pledgehammer.
