Australia begin Grand Final week with the first win against the Kiwis
(36674)

In a week where the Perth Wildcats and New Zealand Breakers face off in the Australian grand final, the Aussies have taken the first win, winning the first match of the continental champs in buzzerbeater.

"Buzzer what?" said Wildcat brick wall Nathan Jawai when contacted by Rimmer management. The interview ended there.

But the similarities were well documented.
-New Zealand guard taking way too many shots for a low percentage: check.
-Aussie PF dominant, hitting baseline jumpers like its the 90s and hitting the boards to give the Aussies the advantage on the glass: check.
-Aussie guards rampaging on the steals to create hustle plays: check

Seriously, if this is what the NBL final is going to be like, bring it on!

Aussies hit triple figures in blow out win
(36678)
Team management were very happy seeing the stars hit the floor tonight and share the ball around to get a comprehensive win over opposition Macau. In a game that had 6 players in double figures, including a break out 26pt game from Scott Cantwell, the Aussies found continual avenues to score, raking in 116pts. The minutes spread very well over the 12 deep roster, apart from an injury to shiny prospect 20yr old Sun Xue.

MVPs
3 votes- Cantwell (26pts on 10-13FG, 3-4 3FG)
2 votes- Oyama (12 assists, 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals)
1 vote- Eagles (11pts, 8 assists, 3 boards)

next week is a bye week so will book a scrimmage against a top 10 team hopefully. Will try and get it at the same time as usual.

Yes, its a scrimmage, but Australia vs Philippines has never been a non competitive match. Come in and check out Australias future NT stars.

We need the team captain to quit smoking weed after practice and stay in shape for the big games!

MVPs vs Pakistan
Apologies for the late summary, but I found picking the votes for this game very challenging. I couldn't even decide who to give the 3 votes to. 2 players with 23pts, one player collect 20 rebounds to go with 15pts at a great FG%, Another player with 11pt,8 boards,4 ass, 3 blocks, and another with 11pts, 11 boars and 4 assists from PG, keeping his opponent to 2-13Fg.

3 votes- SKS (9-12FG, 23pts, 4 boards, 1 assist, 1 blk)
2 votes- Thomas (20 boards, 15 points, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block)
1 vote- Eagles (11pts, 11 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal)

Not easy to make a call... Great all round play from the starters in that one

MVPs vs Indo
3 votes- Thomas (14 rebs, 11pts, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 1 assist). Opponent went 1-17. Defense!
2 votes- Cantwell (18pts, 3 rebs, 1 steal)
1 vote- Ash (15pts, 6-10FG, 3 boards).

Once again tough call with Farina and SKS unlucky not to be in there. Ash really blew the game open in the 2nd with 5 or 6 FG makes in a row.

I think Eagles tends to get a kind benefit of the doubt from being a player of yours whitewind. Perks of the job ;)

I hope this is not the case. I asked for others opinions last night in chat for MVPs of both games, and used that along with my own , unbiased thoughts. I purposely held off voting from last week to get community input. I'm hoping this seemed a fair process. I don't want to have a bias towards my own, but will certainly not be disadvantaging him because of that either.

A nice competitive game tonight with Iran, who did not appear strong in big guys, but certainly held their own inside. With Kasper hurt in the early parts of the game, 20 yr old Topor-Stanley was given the opportunity to show what he can do. The talent of the 20yr olds is certainly impressing me this season.

MVPs
3 votes- Thomas- 25pts, 19 rebs, 3 assists, 1 steal
2 votes- WTS- 26pts on 12-16FG, 15 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block.
1 vote- SKS- 15pts, 8 boards, 3 assists.

Next up is our final game of the first round against China. The game will determine which pool we progress into.
