Who do you think is the ideal matchup for Adelaide to play in the semis? Personally I think we avoid United at all costs they are the most unpredictable team and the best matchup would be against Sydney.

My predictor says the table will end up:
Adelaide 20/8
Perth 16/12
Illawarra 15/13
Breakers 14/14
Melbourne 13/15
The VERY final game of the season is Melbourne-Perth and this will decide the final positions. Melbourne also have an away game in Auckland which I'm tipping they drop so I think Perth might just steal that game and drop Melbourne out of finals.
SF: Adelaide v Breakers & Perth v Illawarra

It will be interesting if we end up in a situation where Adelaide could create a matchup with Cairns in that final round.

Yep NZ are playing some very good basketball now with Dillard in the team and although very happy with the Sixers surprise season it would still be very disappointing if we failed to at least make it to the GF.

Adelaide off and gone.
Breakers (12/12) have got Cairns (H), Sydney (A), Adelaide (A) and Melbourne (H). We need at least 2 games to be in with a chance. Probably the first two look the best chance but we can't chalk up any result until it happens.
Going to be fascinating.
Assuming (probably a mistake) that Brisbane Cairns Sydney are not going to make the playoffs. They could have a big say in who doesn't though.
Perth (11/12)have Melbourne (H) Brisbane (H) Cairns (A) Sydney(H) Melbourne (A),
Illawara(12/12) have Adelaide (H), Cairns (H), Melbourne (A) and Brisbane (H).
Melbourne (11/12) have Perth (A) Sydney (A) Illawara (H) Breakers (A) and Perth (H).
Melbourne Perth games huge.
What happens in the event of a 3 way tie for 3/4/5 slots?

Tom, it goes to a mini-table in which the results of all teams except those tied are excluded.
If Perth beat Melbourne on sat that gives them the split and that may knock Melbourne out based on the rest of the games.
