Earlier this year
NBL Round 1 - 5 games 19/9 - 22/9
The NBL season tips off on Thursday night with a Grand Final rematch between the JJ's and United
Might as well have 1 thread for each round this season? Half the games get no discussion, or minimal posts and it clogs up the main board
JJ's might be tired after 5 games in quick succession including Fri/Sat/Sun in Singapore. United will be hoping JJ's come out lacklustre, as they did in GF game 1 after 2 recent trips to Perth.
Illawarra should defeat Cairns sans Armstrong, Makoi and Adnam.
Bullets - will they have Bannan and McDaniel? Regardless I'd be tipping them over Gillespie-free Breakers
Perth in Perth is a great challenge for SEM who finished the Blitz with 2 strong wins. I'll tip Perth, but let's hope it's a classic like Perth's opener against the JJ's last year was. Can Windler follow Usher with 35 on debut?
Adelaide with the Kings first up, with Harrell aallegedly in uniform. Will Jaylen Adams be suiting up?
