Dave Thomas is an improvement for them too given what they need in the roster. I think the Tigers are the new favourites. Their mindset's changed and that's a reasonable part of success in the game.
As I've said before, I have started thinking that the Dragons are too evenly spread to have the stars to step up in the post-season. Remember the Kings last season were dominant until they hit the business end - same sort of team. Worthington is there, but neither import is going to shoulder the team in big games, nor Gibson, and Ingles is having a bit of a horror patch (hasn't hit double figures in four games, I think I read yesterday?).
The Breakers are hard to pick right now. If they get it back together, they have a good spread of options and (most importantly for finals) some key, experienced players (Penney, Bruton, Jones, Ronaldson) who can take over a game. They'll have to win now to top third and lock in a series, or avoid getting thrown out in a freak elimination (like the Sixers that time). IMO, they have one of the better streaks to finish over the last five games - Dragons at home, 36ers on Feb 7, and teams like the Hawks and Spirit who can be dangerous but should be double-figure wins for a team expecting to challenge for the championship.
Big test first up tonight, IMO. The real danger game for them is the 36ers, I think.
