This opening weekend delivered:
- One of the best games ever
- One of the biggest chokes ever
- The biggest win of the 40 minute era
- 3 massive crowds, and a sell out in Cairns (?)

More interestingly, too
The first time in 8 years both semi finals go to 3 games
Both away teams went within a whisker of winning game 1 before dominating game 2
How many people saw this coming or anything like it?
Pre season most people had Cairns 8th or 9th
A month ago no one thought United would make playoffs.
Incredible is absolutely the right word for all this
I am really enjoying these playoffs. Very unpredictable and everyone has a chance
I think the fact that the 45 point belting followed the biggest playoff choke made it even more interesting. And against a team many called the greatest team assembled

Unfortunately, I was surprised Melbourne lost Game 1. Kings were completely shut down by Melbourne except for the last 6 minutes. Game 2 is more reflective of where the teams are ATM - ie As I've said all year - Kings' Achilles heel - the inability to defend the on-ball all year. W Weaver outcoached and outplayed - has no answer to Kings inability to defend then on-ball. Letting Taylor go for Lisch was a mistake. No plays to free up shooters. Every shot is against the defence. The only legit player Kings have is Tate. 58 points in a semi-final - see incredible.
Will Weaver have the guts to bench Bogut? He's a liability out there and they'd be better off without him.
I'd love to see it, but unfortunately I don't think I will.

Loving it. The whole family is riveted, and we all have sworn off social media until after we can all watch the games together.
Great stuff NBL.
