Well once again we only lost 1 team in the cup and that unlucky soul was The Tornado

Cup Draw

Big 8

Paramatta Eels (468) vs (64) Adam Guns
Onski Mooses (170) vs (31) Yarra Park Bears
Top-Prides (138) vs (35) JW City Bulls
Lewisness (101) vs (27) Mmmmm Donuts

Great 8

Gisborne Gladiators (30) vs (300) Coasters
Corio Bay Giants (25) vs (20) Southern Breakers
unstoppables (498) vs (39) The Meateors
RED *Season20 (109) vs (78) BrisvegasSpurs
go aussie (98) vs (21) West Island Tigers
Whompas Donkeys (57) vs (156) Olivers Oilers
South Gisborne Storm (94) vs (102) Fresh Princes

So the Big 8 teams who fought their way through tough draws in the 3rd round have drawn easier teams in the 4th round. However Lewisness who got the easy game last week has drawn a strong div 2 team.

Meanwhile all the Great 8 teams survived the 3rd round, with so much representation in the cup surely team will have to start throwing league games as the cup games get tougher and tougher. This is good news for the Big 8 because they will soon be crossing over and playing all these teams left in the cup. Although 4 of the Great 8 teams have drawn 4 div 2 sides.

Personally i enjoy my draw. how about the rest of you guys?

I agree. the great 8 really needs to focus on the cup for the next 2-3 weeks.. dont worry about the league, it will sort itself out!

Didn't expect you would :) Totally off topic but last season we had a bit of discussion about the NBA finals, has everyone been keeping up through the off-season? My question, can anyone beat the Lakers?

Heat did well to pick up Ray Allen, OKC stuffed up by not landing Grant Hill, Lakers like the heat have gone out to buy themselves another championship with the addition of Superman and Nash, got to be the best starting 5 in the league even though it includes Metta Toss pot!

Had a good run so far this season also.

I am more happy with this round draw for the Breakers, means they have to decide do they rest their starters againt me to play in the cup?

I think the cup is a very good thing for the breakers to go all out in, I am sure they are safe in the leage table to be able to lose to me, they do not want to give another team outside of the top a chance to catch up now do we :-P

Yeah looks like a Heat vs Lakers final is the most likely scenario. I Hope rose can get back to his best, also the nets will be a dark horse in the east, they've got a very good team now with joe Johnson and Andray Blatche joining Deron and Brook.
I think OKC will struggle to beat LA, just won't be able to stop them inside and outside, Ibake or Perkins won't be able to compete with Dwight

The Nets just signed up Josh Childress for one year as well. They are top 4 in the East for sure.

Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, G. Wallace, Huphries and Lopez.
Keith Bogans/CJ Watson, Marshon Brooks, Childress, Blatche and Reggie Evans.

I am not too sad about who I drew in the cup, I will just go crunch and hope for the best.

lakers are crazy good go lakers

but dont count out okc just yet

perkins & ibaka are maybe the best defensive big man combo in the league & they love 2 bang so dwight will have to work 4 his shots if kobe lets him have any

they have 0 offence but no matters cause dwight can shut down any big nyway & what can he do about durant dropping 30 footers?

durant is the best offensive player in the nba even better than kobe or lebron who is going 2 guard him? mwp is the only choice

then add westbrook & harden, sure kobe can take 1 but whoever is on nash will score easy

nash is an awesome pickup but westbrook may be 1 of the best guys to try & stop him after rondo

Man I am an OKC loyalist but I am not so sure, KD is a god no doubt and Harden is sensational, Westbrook is our massive problem, he doesn't know his role. He is brilliant in his own right but he is so damn expessive with TOs and shoots way too much, when he takes under 15 shots in a game and gets over 5 assists OKC win, when he takes more shots than that except on the odd occasion that he is on fire we loose. If I were Scotty Brooks I would be reigning in the leighway on Westbrook, he was the difference in why we did so poorly against Miami in my opinion.

@Koopa - Yeah nets made some impressive moves that don't look to have hurt them too much on the pocket, unfortunately top 4 in either conference is one thing, top 2 even but unless you are Miami or LA with money to burn it is hard to compete, small teams struggle because there is not enough control, luxury tax so what, there should be a physical cap that stops any team over doing the limit, keep the competition more even.

Watch Boston fall out of the 8 this season and my wild card is the Wizards, Nene is a weapon and with a healthy line up they should push a bit harder, John Wall should be at the stage where he can push to be up there with Rondo and Rose as elite.
