Even though this is a semi-final game, the margin for total number of points set the by the bookies is ridiculous to say the least. True, the Tigers do score only 81 points on average, but this average has increased to 90 points in the last 5 games, while the 36ers have been on this average throughout the season. Both teams prefer fast and aggressive basketball on account on their poor defense. Ervin and Johnson are great in fast transition but their opponents go past them very easily and the situation is almost identical for the away team. Adelaide 36ers have tried to stop the Tigers in their last game by putting them under pressure across the court but they still conceded 94 points and that was a game in which Goulding wasn't too motivated. Anstey was furious t his players for lack of defensive commitment but they just don't have the solution for the fast transition of the 36ers. Head-to-heads also speak in favor of this bet as their four games this season have seen an average of 180 points. Seeing how we are expecting an even tighter game, we should not rule out the possibility of this game being decided by the free throws. The stakes re high and I don't think either coach will experiment too much in offense. Because of that, we can expect another efficient game in which the offense will decide the winner.
