Yeah, worst timing for injury for you.

And me. There was a chance that I could've taken out the cup and the league this season. But the injury has cost me one and might cost me both. That's the kind of bad luck I'm referring to.

With HCA you should still be the hot favourite in the league. I was always aiming for just the cup this season because I needed the extra prize money to cover my salaries, so I was willing to concede the league for that purpose.

Tough one cause winning the cup and losing league games cost you revenue in those league home games.

My players are aging so fast!!! They've just gotta make it a few more weeks

Congrats BB bro Well deserved win.

You're also definitely in the running for the double, too. That would be cool.

Predictably enough the two big guns square off in the final. Hopefully we can see an injury free finals, as I know how much it sucks to have guys not available through injury.

Will tactics choices make the difference?

Any predictions? I am going to say KK in 3…with the third going to OT.

Suspect you're right, I was willing to give away game 1 knowing I have a chance at winning 2 straight with a bit more enthusiasm but HCA is still pretty potent at this time. I've had seasons where it bailed me out in the past though so there's no sour grapes.

Well I am off back to Div II again. Last time I was here I won 3 games. This time I won 8 and was a lot more prepared. Missed the goal of not being relegated unfortunately. Hopefully I can make it back for season 58 and win more than 8. Good luck to everyone for next season.

Sorry Moose,

It shouldn't of been me you were playing but my GS the past few weeks has been terrible, loosing games I should've won.

Note you got unlucky on the side of the draw too, you were second last in Great 8 on 8 wins, 9 wins on our side would've had you top 4.

Come back bigger and stronger!

Yeah pretty good strategy...the enthusiasm might make up the difference but as you say HCA is difficult to overcome.

I just find it difficult to bring myself to play less enthusiasm for a finals game - but I have never won an ABBL final series or Cup final game so I am not someone to emulate.

Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series plays out.

Wow...........

Epic prediction!


Epic game, too. Grunter has to have earned his way into the Aussie HOF for that performance.

Damn. I can't even stay mad about it because I know we created the greatest ABBL finals since season 11 where Couto Costa hit "the shot"

This would've been "the dunk" if not for a desparation play that I have to admit was an honest foul;

5 0:00 102 - 102 D. Houghton (H) goes up strong for a dunk
5 0:00 102 - 102 J. Duffield (A) is called for a shooting foul.
5 0:00 102 - 103 D. Houghton (H) sinks the free throw.
5 0:00 102 - 103 A. Lovell (A) brought in for G. Xinlei (A) at PF.
5 0:00 102 - 104 The free throw by D. Houghton (H) is up and in.
5 0:00 102 - 104 End of period.
