Bot Promotion: Tannums Tantrums

I guess i will take 15.

Good luck to my tips tomorrow night

Well my finals opponent has had a stroke of luck with the 3 other playoff teams in his conference all going bot recently!

BAINS, why did you skip some important games, ie.

III.8
Coin Collectors cashed the Unbeatables in for some loose change 85 - 64.

bahahaha. i figured it was expected and wasn't really a close game

Predictions for tonight.

III.1

The Winnerz def Red Paint by 27 - Red Paint unfortunately hedged their bets that they would fail to make the finals and thus have sold a couple of extremely old starters. The Winnerz will have an easy ride to div II after two hard conference PO games.

III.2

Lords of Hellfire def Magic vs Bird by 11 - LOH have managed their GS well and performed well so far in the PO's. They also have HCA. Magic will really heavily on Jankowski in this Finals series, with him in respectable GS for game 1, i think they might just be beaten by LOH. I wouldn't be surprised if this goes to game 3. A tight series ahead.

III.3

GC Vikings def Flames by 6 - Flames have an injury to their PG which could prove key in whether they can win the Finals series. I think the Vikings will be too strong in game 1, but i would expect this series to go all the way to game 3.

III.4

ANU Basketball def Sambo 54's by 21 - ANU seem to have the clear edge with HCA and better GS across the board. I don't think Sambo's have what it takes to send the series to a 3rd game if they lose tonight.

III.5

Sydney Sea Eagles def From Way Downtown by 5 - This was a hard game to pick. The Eagles are clearly better on paper, yet have poor GS. HCA makes me lean towards the Eagles just a little.

III.6

TeamAkuma def The J Ballers by 13 - Both scary teams but Akuma's boys look a little more even. Great series ahead.

III.7

Lewisness def The Bongo Players by 10 - I have played TBP and they are a good, up and coming side. However i think Lewisness might be a step ahead this season, despite not having HCA.

III.8

Coin Collectors def Melbourne Demons by 24 - This is another clear one with the Coin Collectors seemingly superior in most ways. Don't think it will go past 2 games.

III.9

South Gisborne Storm def MTbreds by 8 - This could be another cracker of a series. Storm will probably win with HCA in game 1. But i would expect to see a game 3 here.

III.10

West Indies def The Meteors by 12 - Could be another good series. I expect the West Indies to take control with a win in Game 1.

III.11

Urmummas def AzzAZ SwiNaDaDz by 22 - Only ever going to be one winner here.

III.12

Vis Maior def Be High by 32 - Like III.11 i think Vis Maior are going to comfortably account for Be High

III.13

Maggots def D-Stars by 15 - The Maggots are going to win game 1 but the D-Stars wont be a walkover in this series.

III.14

Perth Power Hustlers def Knobheads by 23 - Hustlers should be on their way to div II with this matchup.

III.15

Porirua def Southern Breakers by 3 - Tipping an upset here seeing as the Breakers have an injury to one of their guards. Could be a close series here.

III.16

Tate's All-Stars def Dobies by 9 - Tate's do have some questionable GS, however Dobies dont seem to have any weapons to hurt the All-Stars

I reckon the III.2 match up between LoH & Magic V Bird should be the match of the round, rooting for LoH to get up in 3! U just hope he plans his enthusiasm well!

Akuma v J Ballers another one to watch. I reckon Akuma should win it tho.

Watching the III.2 Final at the moment. Looks like Lords of Hellfire have the jump with a lead of 41-23 with 6:30 minutes in the second quarter to go! Good luck to both teams. :D

Wow, not bad Bainsy!

I won by 29, but I was up by 27 and got fouled on my last second shot and sunk both free throws...

Nice tipping ;)
