YTD: 2-3

Ok, back for a new week. Massive games across both leagues. Hopefully can turn things around.

One game I am taking right now, and I have no idea why they are dogs.

 Canberra Capitals @ Melbourne Boomers: Capitals +3.5

Molloy (coach of Melbourne) is a very over-rated coach IMHO and Goriss under rated. The Capitals pulled apart Sydney last week whilst the Boomers struggled against the Spirit who were fav's to come last this season. Kia Nurse was outstanding last week and I think they can take care of business.

The NBL game tonight is a tough one especially after the Kings lost on their own court to the 36ers in a high scoring game. 36ers don't play D, the Kings don't look like they are going to play D either. The Kings head to NZ after this game whilst the 36ers head to Melbourne which will be a tough game. I have a lean towards Sydney as I think last week's game was a teething game and the 36ers haven't looked amazing as yet but 36ers are good at home. Further capping needed.

I hope you only tailed the Capitals play mate.. They look very good and get another great player back on Sunday who has experience in both WNBA and Europe (Leilani Mitchell) who should add another dimension to their game.

Retrospectively Kriscar, I wish I faded the Kings in both games because they are a mess and Andrew Gaze was a good player, just cant coach. I feel as though he already needs to be fired because he has had a quality team for this season and last and hasn't done anything. No heart whatsoever and leaving the lane open like they do for easy baskets is never going to win you a championship.

Perth are so small mate in height, they have no one to stop Suzy Batkovic. In order to win this game, Perth need to play the outside game and drain 3's because if they go anywhere near the paint, Suzy both offensively and defensively will shut them down.

Adelaide 36ers @ Melbourne United: United -4.5

Good spot to take Melbourne to win a convincing game. They had that crazy 4 x OT vs the Hawks in Wollongong, then traveled home and on 1 days rest, lost S/U to the Breakers. They were just gassed out. Now, catching the 36ers playing their 3rd game in 7 days with 2 games against the Kings (in Sydney then Adelaide) i think we get a very good line for this game and we see United really perform well and put together a good game and cover this low line.

Adelaide Lightning @ Canberra Capitals: Over 153.5

Lightning jacked up 77 shots vs the Fire the other night, they do love playing fast basketball and against Canberra who do have the weapons to score points as well, its hard for me not to see this game go over 160 points.

Townsville Fire @ Perth Lynx: Lynx -2.5

Believe that the Lynx are fav's for a reason. They have had a massive amount of time to prep for this game whilst the Fire are playing their 3rd game in 7 days starting out at home, then to Adelaide and then to Perth for this game. Think we see the Lynx go back to their good shooting ways from last season with their new look squad.

taipans mate. Tough schedule for Hawks and Trimble is a beast and this Taipans team is my most under rated team in the league. Was just about to post them as my next play
