dont be concerned, perth is loaded, you have 5 players on any night who can top score. Realistically in a 3 game series wollongong will not beat perth, gold coast or townsville.

Currently Hawks are 2-1 over Perth and 2-0 over Crocs... bit higher than "no-chance"

Nothing to worry about the 9 man roster and the flights may have got to them and the huge game against NZ may have hindered them! I wouldnt be worried... Galen Young is set to play on Sat Night against the 36ers

As for the Hawks Chances against Perth and Gold Coast
Hawks and Perth match up great against each other despite the other night. Perth Go very deep and are good at home, hawks also good at home and are not as deep but have the better PG in Mckee, and hawks bigs are probably more mobile.
i'd say if both make it to Finals who ever has the home court advantage will have the upper hand and most likely win series.
Gold Coast : worry me, they have always been Hawks bogey side, they have mobile bigs they can shoot the lights out, but that said I would not put it past this Hawks team to bet them with solid "D"

If Hawks shoot at 58% (56% in 3's) they are going to beat every team in league esp.if bigs are going to get 53 between them.
Perth don't matchup well with them because Davidson and Tragardh play outside and Schenscher cannot guard them and be a presence in paint.
Cattalini barely played (12min) and Redhage not a factor so Perth in chase mode almost entire game.
Would not dismiss result but it ain't going to happen again!

the hawks are very disciplined and play hard and smart but probably are not as talented as perth

What happen was we got killed in the Paint. Tradgarh and Davidson killed us and got countless amount of offensive boards and they kept they kept shooting the lights out all night. they shot 60% from the 3pt line throughout the game. that has been a big concern for us all season.. the better team won. as i said, they are the number 1 team in the league. that loss to the Sixers has put them right back on track.
