Season 5 - BasketballSim Finals Game 3 - Ocelots @ Tigers [completed]

Series tied at 1-1









@







​

Preview:
The Ocelots made a statement in Game 2, smashing the Tigers and not only levelling the series, but making a statement - we're here to win, not be runners up. The Tigers, who once looked unbeatable, now look vulnerable. F LeBron Ames, C Ether Starris and G Sam Bakkum have all looked a shadow of their regular season selves, while G Siege Morgan, F Brett Hall and G Truman Lee have had to shoulder additional work. The most impressive thing of this Ocelots series performance is the fact that Downes and Gayler are yet to fire in the same game. That's scary.

Key Battle:
Hall will attempt to guard Downes in this one, and a good job could see this series swing. Forcing the offence through Gayler or Anraad could be dangerous for the Ocelots, so stopping Downes is the Tigers most important task.

Odds:
Ocelots - $1.90
Tigers - $1.90

Prediction:
The Ocelots just look the better team right now. It's too hard to pick against them, even away from home.

Ocelots 105-101

 

That's the problem.

 

Carn boys!

 

This now, qbq if no real interest. Gotta get onto them provincials.

 

Quarter by quarter it is!
