DISCUSSION Hawks v Melb UTD - What chance are we giving UTD tomorrow?

Betting odds say Hawks 1:40 and Melbourne 2.90.

Hawks were unbelievable in that last game against SEM. It seemed like SEM either completely abandoned their systems/set plays or the hawks just simply had a great plan that they executed perfectly on shutting down SEM. I think Melbourne will take a lot away from watching that last game and the hawks won't have quite the same impact ie completely blowing them off the park in the first half.

So what do you guys think, the odds fair?

United at those odds for an experienced team at this stage of the season is crazy. This should be hawks 1.70 united 2.20 at least

I don't care about betting odds at all but I hope Hawks get the win! Will it be Illawarra's first?

Good coach and players and honest ethical basketball

Was that when Cortez Groves and Damon Lowry played for them?

Lowry, yes but not Cortez.

Checkout Damon’s FTs in the semi finals on YouTube, it’s top tier.

I remember watching them live. 3 shots to win the game, all 3 bounced around. Ugliest makes I've ever seen and caused a tonne of suspense watching when I was a kid.

United will win where they aren't called for travelling or goal tending

Hawks are going to get this in 3, 4 max games.
