Single seats available only. This could set a record for attendance. Will be tough for NZ to get this one, they may have had a longer break before the series but after all the travel they have done I expect that advantage to be somewhat diminished. Home court advantage has been big all year and I really hope 14000 ppl are enough to get Perth over the line. This one ain't going to be pretty.

There will be more seats available when the Members pre-sale ends.

Can't see many members passing up their seats for a deciding GF match on a Dunday though. If there's many, no doubt they will be snapped up quickly.

I'm pretty sure that even members who can't attend would be purchasing their seats for friends/rellies.

It's not single seats left only though. I can see groups of 10 still available in a few blocks atm.

Really ? I got single seats only showing up in all categories when I just checked now. Maybe a browser issue.

Wesley a wimp? :face palm:

we need to get off to a good start like we did in game 1, get the crowd into it. Can't afford to give NZ a sniff.

If there is any team that can pull off the w, it is the breakers. Nothing in it, all depends on the tempo the refs are going to call the game.

Leaning towards perth, being at home, if the decider was in Nz, then it would be the breakers.

I for one am glad we have home court advantage in game 3. A question though: what if the game was is neutral territory? What would be your pic to win and game MVP? (Not series MVP- game MVP of played in neutral territory). Just wondered because if you think about it, there have been times the AFL grand final has been played without any Victorian teams.

For me, I think honestly the wildcats would win, only based on this season where we had the better overall road record. Would be a very tight game.

Perth haven't won on the road for a while and their road record isn't flash so if the game was for instance played in Sydney I would pick NZ to win.

Luckily for the Wildcats it is being played in Perth and I too think they'll be hard to beat at home.
At least I didn't have to watch them cut down the nets and celebrate in the NSEC.

Hopefully Jawai will struggle with all the travel and will be a non factor and Prather can continue to be invisible.
NZ will need to shake their shooting funk and start hitting some shots to have a hope.

I think the breakers will win.

Sounds silly but I don't believe Perth has had that good a year.
Rubbish on the road and have seemed very shaky at home a few times.

The main issue is the offence and the lack of quality sets to bring Prather into the game. Aside from a 5 minute stretch in game 1 when they used Jawai correctly, they really haven't run any decent offence for the series.

^ hmmm interesting that you think Perth hasn't had a good year, yet they finished 2nd. A bit of personal bias there? It could be argued even more that New Zealand had a crap year, apart from their recent form.
Yes, Prather needs to lift, as does Jervis. It can't be underestimated the brilliant job that Abercrombie has done on Prather.
I think Webster is likely to improve but won't be the game breaker as such. His form in second half of season hasn't been up to his standards. It comes down to the Jackson duo and Vukona in my opinion. Perth stops them and Perth wins.
I for one am praying that Prather revitalises his A game, Jawai continues to give his best like he has in this series and Martin destroys Jackson's influence on the game. Beal's defence has to pick up and his ball handling and shot selection down the wire is crucial.
Either way, hopefully game 3 is a little more free-flowing and allows both teams players to give it their all. May the best team win.

There is no bias.
Tell me about the offence Perth has been running?
What sets do they go to to bring Prather, Beal, Jawai into the game?

Hard to know what & how frequently we ran a set for Prather because every time he touched the ball yesterday he crapped himself.

I think they need to utilise some sets for Prather a whole lot better, with some screens to help shake Abercrombie. Was it not obvious the number of sets created for Jawai esp in game 1?

Cats 4 life,

"If any team can pull off the w, its the breakers"

And the Townsville Crocs ;)

MU pulled the cats pants down in Perth too :)

Just released another 1,100 tickets. There are a lot of kiwis that live here. Sure they will be out in force.

So approximately how many sold so far?

Wesley a wimp? :face palm:

Jervis allowed himself to be EASILY pushed around by a player with a significant height disadvantage.

You write a biased cats thread and call out everyone else to not turn it in to a 'my team will win thread', not the smartest in the shed Dazz.

I'll be going to the game tomorrow but already I can say that I don't think I'll be putting either in 'greatest team of all time' calculations which seems weird as this season was so competitive.

Game 2 was so bloody ugly to watch and I'll happily boo the Wildcats if they look lacklustre or make those silly bloody turnovers.

I think Perth will win and Jesse Wagstaff is becoming absolutely crucial to this contest, if he stays aggressive and out of foul trouble then he will get us cutting down the net.

Looking forward to this immensely.

Fans for both teams should be very nervous!!

Wildcats $1.35
Breakers $3.21

Wildcats by 1-10 $2.55
Wildcats by 11+ $2.75
Breakers by 1-10 $4.25
Breakers by 11+ $8.00

Margin -5.5 points
Over/Under 159.5

I hate sports betting (bad for sport IMO). BUT those odds seem crazy.

Only an idiot would get after $1.35....wowee

Yeah I'm not going near the Wildcats at those odds.
Contemplating a consolation prize bet on NZ.

Hopefully the Cats themselves aren't fearing it, but as a fan, yes, I do feel like the Breakers have a slight psychological edge over us when it comes to big games.
There have been other circumstances at play (i.e. injuries and/or being the inferior regular season team) contributing to that history, but it's still something that would be nice to put an end to today.

They're showing the game at 11pm? Really?

$3.35? I'm having $10,000 of that. Crazy. I think NZ should start favorites. My odds NZ $1.65 Perth $2.80

The interesting thing to remember is that these "odds" offered by bookies only reflect the bets the public has placed. So that means there has been a lot bet on Perth, and not much on NZ.
Which on this occasion I find weird.
Hypothetically, if I was given a free bet, at equal odds, I would tip Perth. Just. I certainly wouldn't put any of my own money on it.
(In fact if I were given a free bet at these odds, I would pick NZ, just for the better return.)

Best of luck to the Wildcats and their fans.
Hopefully the refs let the players decide the game but both teams are their own worst enemies when it comes to fouling with their gambling defence and physicality.
I also hope all the travel hasn't affected the players and we are treated to an awesome game.

You too mystro. Whoever wins, it will be thoroughly deserved and no excuses about injuries, refs etc are needed from anyone. it's been a good series.

I don't know if I agree that it's been a good series. Game two was seriously ugly to watch.

I found myself in the last quarter thinking that I wouldn't want the cats to win it on such a scrappy game...

Good, as in even and close games. Tense for fans of both teams. Not always the greatest basketball though.

Agree, it has been super tense and scrappy with lots of bricks and turnovers.
Hopefully we are treated to a free flowing shootout for the decider with plenty of highlights.

May the best team win and no excuses.

Some of the reffing always puzzles me, but at the end of the day it is what it is and teams need to adapt.
Jawai will probably be really sore, but again, he is what he is. If he were fitter & leaner he'd still be playing in Europe.
Besides, I think all players from both teams will be somewhat knackered by the end of this series.

I really think this game will come down to sheer mental toughness, and players ability to step-up and deliver in finals. That is what we have seen New Zealand do, year after year.
For the Cats, Damo is certainly doing it, and we saw signs from Redhage in game 2.

I am more than happy with the Cats season, come what may. But, at risk of sounding like the haters I dislike, I'd like to see that Cats win just so its not "NZ again."

That said, if NZ do win "again" it will be because of the strength of their program, and (as mentioned) the character of their players and ability to go the extra mile in finals. If some of that is down to "National Pride" then good on them.
I don't want to hear any more of that tripe about them being the TB's or a national team.

Lol, 5 minutes to tip off. Pumped for a good game here.
Don't let me down cats & breakers!!

Likewise if the Cats win NZ were bloody lucky their cards fell the way they did and they even made the playoffs after their stellar losing streak.
Perth were the more consistent team throughout the regular season an earned home court advantage which NZ have benefited from previously.
I'm just thankful both teams are at full strength but the NBL and Fox have somewhat handed the players a hospital pass with the finals schedule.

NZ can't buy a basket, Perth probably lucky it's 2-2 right now.

Wow, refs swallowed the whistles early

Good sign Abercrombie being so aggressive on the road.

Perth not respecting Webster's long jumper... Understandable after games 1 and 2.

Abercrombie is all class.

My god, Abercrombie was robbed then!

4 seconds ran off the clock while the ball was dead and the breakers were waiting to inbound......What a joke.

I would love to see Vukona just level Redhage right before the final whistle, send him into retirement in style.

+1

Abercrombie's hang-time on those jumpers though...

Martin flopping all over the place. Losing a bit of my respect.

No way NZ win this.

Why is Martin flopping??

Far too good a player for that.

Twice already

NZ need to regain some composure and quit the complaining.

You can't defend the post in this league. Offensive player has too much of an advantage. Jawai can bump all over the place but a small bump from Pledger and its a foul.

Thats not suggesting bias reffing BTW. Just bad policy and interpretation generally.

It's pretty cowardly when refs answer a player's questioning of a call with, "I wasn't on the play", or "I didn't call it."

How about you man up and own the decision of your crew rather than passing the buck.

Martin gets away with so much contact on the perimeter on defense.

Martin is gonna be the finals MVP if the Cats win. Has come up with some huge plays again today.

Pretty sloppy half from NZ. Too many turnovers and settling for the 3 ball too much.

Martin may get away with a bit, however Cedric and webster lead with an arm, which probably stops it from being called.

NZ don't deserve to win this. Turnovers, missed D rebounds etc. Own worst enemies.

New Zealand shouldn't be there. This is a fire gone conclusion.

Never realised before just how disadvantageous the double-foul rule can be to the team with possession.
Not sure how you'd fix it though.
(and not complaining, the rule is what it is, and its otherwise fair.)

I just hope that that NZ don't win by 1~2 points, or that "goal tend" will be bitched about for years.

I wish neither team could win this. Shaping up to a real disappointing finish to what was a pretty great season overall.

We have to defend the pick and roll better. Abercrombie is killing us, maybe play zone for a while.

I love Lisch, but Damo is STILL the best defensive player in the league.

There's only one guy in the NBL who could bring the Breakers home in this situation..Mitch Norton.

3rd quarter will be telling (as always)
game is far from over

Well this series is going to finish just like 99% of people thought it would.

NZ are an embarrassment. How good at the Cats!

Awful awful awful spectacle

No one even touched Martin on that drive?

NZ playing die by the 3

The Breakers have 33 points after 25 minutes of basketball. This game IS done.

Shitful refereeing

So many home town calls.

Wildcats would beat them even with one arm tied behind theirs backs.

This is getting harder and harder to watch. Feel really sorry for Vickerman and NZ.

Massive home cooking.

Perth by 30?

You can blame the refs for giving the Wildcats a buffer that they turned into a blowout, though.

Not that NZ have played particularly well since Webster was sat down in the 1st Q, but it's naive to say that the refs haven't had an impact.

The Breakers are as rattled as I have ever seen them for years. They are done and they know it already.

Vickerman needs to get the fucking rookies off the floor!

NZ rattled.

Refs on Marvins payroll.

Only went to 3rd game to line Perths coffers. 15,000 people today. No way they were going to let that $$$ go.

Home cooking!!

NZ may as well walk and catch an early flight home. This game is terrible from a breakers perspective. Rattled doesn't even begin to describe it.

Vickerman should be playing the starters into the ground not the rookies.

Hate that charge rule when the ball has already been passed from the hands. They just expect a guy to stop on a dime?

It's little wonder why the league was so close this year with the way the NBL refs favor home teams all throughout the year - probably the only thing about NBL refereeing that is consistent. Hard to win on the road against 8.

Reminds me of game 3 of 2014 NBL GF series when Perth beat Adelaide by 35 odd.

Same type of game

Congrats to the Wildcats and their fans. I'm not even going to bother watching the rest of this embarrassment.

I cannot believe vickerman has played shae ili for 10 minutes in the first 3 quarters of a game 3 of a grand final series and he has done nothing of use. you simply cannot have both webster and cedric off the court at the same time when you're down by bloody 20!!! are you kidding me vickerman. pathetic.

No surprise..... Cats with less fouls when in Perth.

And the sooks of Game 2 are nowhere to be found.

Point is, when the Cats do lose, their coach is a tosser who cant handle losing.
When they win, its all "hail me...Im the greatest"

#loser

Awful GF series.

Tempted to flick it off.

TVs all across NZ have changed channels.

Lowest 3/4 score in NZ's history. Incredibly disappointing game 3.

Rucker and Heal enormously critical of NZ's coaching and you'd have to agree with them. Their offense is a disgrace and they'd made zero adjustments.

What gets me about that call on Charles Jackson is that Knight has been bumping cutters with more force all night.

NZ have played absolutely horrendous but the commentary has been way too harsh and way too critical of NZ. Its not in very good taste.

Massive credit to Perth. They'll win the next 5 finals..no one is beating them next season..especially if the new changes do come in.

Deepest team in the league won, I think Hawks were the best overall - just unlucky to have shat the bed in game 3.

Where are those stats showing the foul discrepancies for each team?

Bit hard expecting Vickerman to play Ced Jackson in the 3rd when he had 4 fouls. And his 4th foul involved lightly stroking Damian Martin with his pinky finger.
Bball fans deserve better.

Can anyone give a logical explanation as to why Vickerman has decided to give Ili so many minutes and only give Bartlett one single freaking minute?!?!

Boggles the mind.

I meant foul discrepancies home vs away. Was discussed on these forums earlier in the season.

The only person who is choking more than NZ right now is Hughwood.

"Lets be realistic if it wasn't for a couple of fluke shots by nz in game 2 perth would have won in 2".

Thats so illogical ive lost brain cells just reading that. No shot is a fluke unless its a 3/4 quarter heave which none of them were. How were Abercrombies and Websters 3s late in game 2 flukes? (Never mind the fact that they shoot hundreds of shots everyday).

Martin demands a replay, nice of the refs to oblige.

Well, that was pretty awful. Bring on next season.

Well done to Perth from all us here in NZ.

Fantastic organisation in all respects andthe absolute benchmark on and off the court.

Enjoy gents!

The only person who is choking more than NZ right now is Hughwood.

Jawai was correct!!

For the love of god keep Ennis off this team!. We want/need a fair comp.

Greenwood probably on more $$$ than the Wildcats were offering, too. I'm sure he's fine.

Ideal Perth situation: Beal naturalise, league go to three imports, Perth bring in Ennis/Prather/Lisch, rest of the league joins the ASEAN league.

110% deserved Damo as the finals MVP. He made some huge plays all series.

Lol, damo the bogan!

Wow. As a Cats Fan I love when a game turns out like that. It was always a (slim) chance, but just stoked to see it happen.

As I said before the game, it was a matter of players standing up.
Led by Martin, just awesome, this is HIS championship.
Jawai, despite his issues and his injuries, has stood up when needed in this final series.
Redhage, the Veteran, stood up when it counted.
Knight, not many points, but monstered the boards.
Jervis, kept out of it for two games finally got involved.
Prather, almost MIA for 2 games, just kept plugging away to lead his teams scoring.

It's nice to get one back from NZ, with the HCA that we earned through the season.
But in fairness to NZ, they just looked knackered. They competed early, but after that their shots weren't dropping, they weren't getting the boards, etc.

In game 2, Perth committed a lot of careless reaching-in fouls, and the refs called them, I don't think you can call that home-cooking.

This time around, yes there's always a couple of contentious calls, but then the Breakers just got tired and sloppy.

Anybody who thinks you can blame a 23 point drubbing on the refs, is just twisted.

Jackson has been one of the pre-eminent PGs in the league so far this decade. Whilst this hasn't been his best year, he did a great job of leading his team in game 2. I think his game today was just symptomatic of the Breakers as a whole. I think they spent everything in game 2.

What I liked best about this final series was the way both teams look to establish their interior games, ahead of and to set up their perimeter game.

Well done to Perth, well deserved and of course well done to the Breakers who looked out of finals contention earlier in the season, huge effort.

United and Hawks relied on their shooting and it wasn't good enough, long live the post game!

Yes Ced got mauled tonight. In saying that, how many times has he mauled other PGs? A: a lot.

Damos pure class though so no shame in being locked by him.

I wonder if Redhage will retire? This is his 3rd Ring, and he's 35. He's been a great player for the Cats, and his number will be deservedly retired. He may decide to go out on a high.

Was always the risk of a shitty game 3 with that scheduling. Thank goodness for Abercrombie or else ... yikes ... NZ may have had a sub-50 total.

Finally we beat NZ in a finals series. Perths defence was cray cray. I feel for NZ , having to make the Perth -NZ trip in 5 days is tough. Might have played out differently if the games were further apart.

The atmosphere was awesome today, honestly didn't think we would win this.

Absolutely amazing day out. Damo, what can you say, total man-crush.

I'd totally have Damos babies if I had the correct organs lol

Started watching the replay, and it's crazy to see Webster score his 7th pts before the end of the 1st quarter, and know that he never scores again. 3/5 shooting to 3/13 shooting.

Have to extend some plaudits to Tom Abercrombie and Charles Jackson. Had great games. Charles Jackson has been a great addition to the NBL this season, entertaining and effective.

Was a Lazarus-like performance for NZ to come from that long mid-season losing streak, seemingly out of contention, and then still end up in Gm 3 of a GF.

A lot of this result came down to who played who in the Semis...

Commiserations to mystro and MACDUB. I'm as shocked by that result as you are. I thought your big game experience would count for a lot more.

Body language for NZB through the game was surprisingly bad, even early on. I do wonder if there was an element of 36ers in '14, home court defended, whatever happens now, happens.

On the other hand, I do think that this Wildcats team would rather die than lose a Game 3, and everything but winning can go hang, so that may be an intimidating attitude to run into!

Body language for NZB through the game was surprisingly bad, even early on. I do wonder if there was an element of 36ers in '14, home court defended, whatever happens now, happens.

Overall though, Cedric Jackson picked a hell of a day to produce what must be his worst ever professional game. And Webster going completely invisible scoring wise from the 1st Qtr... (seriously, 3/5 in 1st, 0/10 2nd-4th Qtrs).

Well done Wildcats. They remain the model franchise for the rest of the league to envy.

Great win yesterday, good to see tall poppy syndrome is alive and well.

I'll be the first to admit after watching us at different times this year i wasn't sure we could win it. Too many times we looked uninterested. But we stepped up when it mattered, something others couldn't do.

Things fell our way in the finals, with United's team of individual's not being able to play as a team, giving us home court advantage, this played a huge role in yesterday's win.

And people can whine about home court calls, that happens at every venue, don't kid yourself that it doesn't.

Well done Wildcats.

Despite my misgivings about the reffing, the Cats were clearly the better team on the day.

And the Cats were probably the best team all season too, given that United got a few close wins that could have gone either way.

Super happy- championship number 7, Damo MVP and we beat our hoodoo team the Breakers to do it!

Despite the score line, I take my hat off to New Zealand. They have done an awesome job in the finals, apart from the second half of yesterday's game. The sad thing to see was the team chemistry start to disintegrate just before half time. The Breakers are normally such a close knit unit, but was obvious things just weren't clicking right, especially between Cedric and Webster. Charles Jackson didn't have his usual 'hypeness' which was a shame as have enjoyed watching him this year. Abercrombie continues to be an absolute legend and along with Vukona really are the heart and soul to that team.

It's a shame that after a year of being one of the most consistent teams this year, that people on this forum can't actually break free from their hatred of the wildcats and actually congratulate them. I am a passionate supporter of the cats since 88 (yes 1988) and am super proud of them. I don't degrade other teams or their supporters, even in situations when it would have been well and truly called for. Yes I admit there are probably a minority few that spoil it for the rest of the RedArmy, just as much as the other teams. Claims for example how we whinge when we lose about the refs, yep whinge as much as others do about their own teams rough deals with the refs. It's also funny that other team supporters get on the bandwagon against the wildcats, and then try to claim they aren't being biased. I truly believe some people here have to get a grip on reality and stop shit kicking the wildcats organisation, the players and its supporters. They have had success because they have built on success. Just like the Breakers and in years gone past the Kings, the Tigers, the Bullets, the 36ers etc. All have built dynasties through building on success.

Anyway upwards and onwards to next season. I for one will be hoping my team manages a back to back championship year but know in my heart, we are now the hunted. Wishing all your teams an awesome off season. This year was a close one, and looking forward to next season being even more competitive.

By all means, congrats to the Wildcats. They play team basketball, they play good defense. They were the best team all season (ie: considering the season as a whole) and they thoroughly deserved to win.

But- that doesn't mean the reffing in yesterday's game was fair. That is a different discussion and a discussion that needs to be had.

Funny, when people tried to discuss the reffing advantage that United had during the season, you feigned ignorance and didn't see the relevance. Stop being a sore loser, LV. Even less people will take you seriously now.

Well, that sucks.
I set the TBox to record the game last night.
It set for channel 90, the recording is called National Basketball League on GEM. I turned it on to watch it, and it has recorded 2 hours of GO. Even though it's called GEM and is channel 90.
Not happy.

Back to Back Championships? I dont see Damian Martin leaving now.

We would likely erect a Statue of him outside Perth Arena if he wanted one.

Perth supporters are arrogant, really anon, just for the exercise can you nominate a sporting organisation whose supporters are humble, that have a winning culture that is?

You shouldn't judge the Perth supporters on the comments of the few who get on here and rabbit on. We're no different to any other supporter base and give as much as our team takes when travelling.
There are two types of supporters;
1. Wildcat supporters
2. Losers

WTF. I know where I'd rather be.

Just so immensely proud of what the boys achieved. They were good throughout the year, and stepped up when it counted. Considering how slowly Prather started this season, and the injuries to Damo, I never dreamt of another flag early on.
And gotta give credit to Jawai. With his issues and his injury, I assumed he would struggle to have an impact in this series, but he too stepped up when it mattered.

I don't believe your average Wildcats Fan is "arrogant," but we do live on a different "plane" to everyone else, and that really irks some people.
We have won a lot more championships than anybody else, and we have also not missed the finals for 30 years. That creates higher expectations from us, and yeah some people see that as "arrogant."
Whilst we thought the decade between 2000 and 2010 was lean, we were still competitive and still made the finals every year.
Yet when we bombed out in the semis for the upteenth year, we moaned and groaned. And yeah, for Fans whose team was struggling just to be competitive, that was annoying.

When we won in 2010, that was awesome and I don't think many begrudged us. When we won again in 2014, our dominance again became an issue. Now we have had yet another Cats v NZ GF, and not surprisingly many people are starting to wish for something different.

It probably doesn't help to hear even the commentators gushing about Perth, what a great program we have, and how the Red Army are the "best fans in the land."
We DO have the biggest, loudest crowds in the league, and to some extent its ok to be proud of that.
The problem is that the question of "what would happen to Perth crowds if we sucked and won the wooden spoon for a few years?" has never been put to the test. There are those who contend that we would struggle like anybody else, and in the absence of empirical evidence, denying it can also be seen as "arrogant."

Hopefully, given how weakened he looked during the post game celebrations, there is continuity plans in place for the passing of Jack Bendat. Nothing rocks the boat like the death of a patriarch

Chalmers on the Contrary, it's classless behaviour to sit here and accuse me of being a sore loser. Your team just won the championship, so just enjoy that without throwing out silly insults at others.

I have said congrats to the Cats. Let me repeat: They deserved to win. They were the best team of the regular season, they were the best team of the playoffs and they were comfortably the best team on Sunday. They are the envy of supporters of other clubs around the country (like me).

However, as a *basketball fan* I want to see *good games*. Sunday’s game was not a good game. You would’ve enjoyed it immensely, of course, as any Perth fan should have. But as a basketball spectacle it wasn’t great. Now, there are several reasons for that and one of them I would suggest is the NBL scheduling. If we put tired players on the court, who have played two games and flown for at least 12.5 hours (probably 17+ hours of overall travel time) within the past four days, then it shouldn’t be a surprise if we see a scrappy, sloppy game.

Another reason, of course, is that NZ weren’t up to the task and this was partly due to Perth’s brilliant defense and partly because NZ just didn’t bring their best game. Especially Webster, and Jackson whose performances are crucial to their success.

But- another reason for the poor spectacle was the poor reffing. It was inconsistent and it favoured one team. The reffing was also inconsistent throughout the NBL season because the refereeing interpretations changed from the beginning of the season to the end. Anybody who plays basketball at any level will tell you that consistency is the number one thing refs need to bring. The NBL needs to improve all of this. That’s absolutely worth discussing if we’re serious about creating a top shelf basketball competition in this country.

"it's classless behaviour to sit here and accuse me of being a sore loser."

Hmm, calling someone out for being a sore loser, when they are displaying all signs of being a sore loser, is an insult? The truth hurts I guess..

Great contribution. I'm definitely going to listen to some anonymous dickhead who tells me that I shouldn't post.

As you have nothing of value to add, why don't you piss off?

Just enjoy the moment! Worth every dollar I have spent! Enjoyed this year the most!

Great season overall and to cap it off with the tittle is great. No one likes perth other than if you are in the red army.

No point arguing, cause we think we a right and every one is wrong are vice vecer. Got our seventh tittle!

Enjoy the off season and Perth will come back better than last. Also hats off to everyone that attended through out the season the more members your team has the better they will be.

Go cats!

The team with arguably the most depth, best interior game, best defence and best coaching in the finals won the NBL.

We have to accept this and move onto next year where I hope other teams make adjustments to catch up to them, and the Breakers.

There wasn't much in it all season, best NBL season for many moons...

Now I am going to go watch some Big V and March Madness, love my hoops!

Oh, and of course the SEABL...

Yes, yes and that thing called the NBA, wow so much ball all year isn't it grand!
