Couple of questions for the experts.
Is it top 4,5 or 6
Are we any chance of making it
Realistically could we get within a bulls roar of NZ or Perth???
It's Top 4 mate, unfortunately very unlikely the 36ers will make the playoffs. We need to beat Melb in Melb tomorrow night and beat them by 30+ points which would even the season series with them at 2-2 and give us the points differential if we finished the season with equal records. Then from there we would need to get to level pegging with them (36ers 6th at 7-11 and Melb 4th at 10-8) and hope the Kings fall away too as they're currently 5th at 7-10. I think the Kings currently lead the season series against us 2-0, so we would need to win both of our remaining games against the Kings and cover the points split if we both get ahead of Melb and finish with identical W/L records.
Still 10 games to go in the regular season for us but things seem to be creeping away from us, especially if we don't have a huge win over Melb tomorrow night.
Eve if we made it to the playoffs I would expect either NZ or Perth to beat us 2-0, we've beaten the Breakers once this season but I doubt they would drop one to us in a best of 3 series. I don't think we match up that well with Perth (which is a shame as they're certainly not as dominant this season as they were last season when we lost to them in the Grand Final series) and would expect them to beat us 2-0.
Thanks for the update. Haven't seen much on a TV anymore. With the popularity of NBA I'm surprised the NBL isn't on TV more or on Foxtel
