Friday Night on One HD: Crocs Vs. Blaze
Townsville Crocodiles Vs. Gold Coast Blaze @ TSV Entertainment Centre.
Game has major playoff implications for both clubs. With Townsville facing the top two NBL sides in their final two clashes after this one, this is really a must win for the Crocs.
Gold Coast have only ever beaten Townsville once in North Queensland, and that was in their first ever contest against the Crocs years ago.
Crocs are the only team to beat the Blaze in their last 11 matches.
Still, Deleon is hot and so are the Blaze.
Your picks?
Sportsbet has Crocs $1.67 to Blaze $2.20.
Key Matchups:
Gill vs DeLeon - blinding speed versus veteran savvy. Whoever gets the upperhand here may decide the game.
Holmes vs Petrie - two of the most efficient, underappreciated bigs in the league go head to head. I want both of these guys on my team.
Mims vs Worthington - Mims has thrived since he started coming of the bench several rounds ago, while Wortho has struggled all season.
Crawford vs Goulding - Crawford has been struggling with his shot lately, but: http://www.nbl.com.au/blaze/news/article///vote-chris-goulding-for-gold-coasts-sexiest-list/
'nuff said.
