Closest NBL finish since 2000?
With a third of the seaosn still to go, currently we have 3 teams tied at the top... Perth, GC & Townsville on 12 & 8.
There is a fair chance the top 3 will stay pretty much as it is now, just like the 2000 season where Adelaide, Townsville & Perth all finished on 22 & 6.
* The Crocs have the split over GC 3-1
* Perth currently have the split over the Crocs 2-1 with 1 game to play (in Per) - The Crocs are +2 points
* The Blaze currently have the split over Perth with 1 game to play (at GC) - GC are +4 points
Now for 4th spot... it's a close race between Woll (11&10), Adel (9&10) and NZ (9&12)
Wollongong of course are without Ty McKee which is going to hurt them A LOT - it's a shame because they have been on top all year really and are the Cindarella story.
However, it would be good to see a team on a hot streak go into the playoffs... you want to be playing your best at the business end of the season.
* Woll have the split over NZ 3-0 with 1 game to play
* NZ currently have the split over the 36ers 2-1 and are +11 points
* Adel currently have the split over Woll with 1 game to go and have a massive 25 point advantage
I have counted out Melbourne & Cairns as I think they are too far behind... but its shaping up to be AWESOME!!!
