Chris Anstey

Question

He was on the take against Cairns tonight.

He is too good of a player to be committing some of the errors he committed tonight.He did it more than once.

Melbourne held back on Cairns. If they pound them? How does that salvage their future? Another team goes down the drain and the NBL is slowly going down.

yeah, I&#x27;m pissed at myself for not sticking soley with the UNDER in that one. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Took the Tigers -7 as well, a line they should have covered with ease against an ABA standard lineup, but true to form, the Tigers play that lazy "just do enough to win" basketball. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;They&#x27;re the detriot pistons of the NBL.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;As for Anstey, 7 footer who prefers to take the soft option and spot up from outside the arc rather than get down and dirty in the post.

69-63, 32% shooting vs 34% shooting.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;tremendous advertisement for the local product &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I emplore just ONE team owner (although by the new rules there must be at least four) to have the guts to install an up-tempo, run at all costs, shoot first, ask questions later, Mike D&#x27;Antoni style to the new league. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;ffs, let&#x27;s give the fans some entertainment

i feel like killing someone after watching that game... I bet MEL -8.. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;They should have won by 35..... &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;This game is a perfect example of a rigged game... not even a foul with 19 seconds to go in a 6 point game... WTF !!! &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;fouling 6 points down is the only option.... Man did the books have a laugh in that game and i can tell you they new all about it !! &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;DODGY DODGY MOTHA FCKERS...

Cooler, the Taipans are on borrowed time, fill your boots and bet the under in every one of their remaining home games, and when they&#x27;re on the road for that matter, I offer an iron-clad guarantee you&#x27;ll be in the &#x2B;ve when it&#x27;s all over.

Did we get fucked over [again] on the NBL last night boys?&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Unfortunately, Battler was consuming copious amounts of liquor on a boat - otherwise I would have been murdered along with you lot.

^ Well I got greedy by taking the under AND Tigers -7. Of course, the under cashed, as it always does in Cairns, heck they could've played until midnight and not gone over 188.

But betting on the Tigers to cover a margin these days ? --------->

Yep

I don&#x27;t mean to go on baout this but it was so obvious Melourne was on the take last night........Here&#x27;s my favourite part.....Under 1 minute left, Cairns miss a shot, Stephen Hoare rebounds and he wasn&#x27;t 100% sure if Cairns were covering at that time so he throws the ball 3/4 of the way down the court over his man&#x27;s head then Andrew Gaze says "Melbourne is trying to give this game away !!!!"

just further proof that the NBL is a joke.... last weekend i had under in the dragons / Melbourne game and was looking fairly good at half time.... Oh but melbourne and Dragons couldn&#x27;t miss a shot in the second... &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I play b-ball and there is no way a team can go from scoring at will 4 days earlier to only scoring 69 points or some junk like that... &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I am seriously like 2-14 from the NBL this season.... Its ridiculous. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I think UNDER for every game in the NBL for the rest of the season will probably hit 85% of the time.... You may be onto something JIVE...
