Glenelg Tigers 107 - 92 Melbourne Goldfish
This was a rock solid win for the 2nd placed Tigers who were just too strong inside for the Goldfish. It was another tough game in which to decide who got the three votes as Glenelg's best 3 were very hard to split. Some consideration was given Guanzheng getting a vote but in the end i felt that the margin of victory and the efficiency with which the Tigers best three played was enough to get them the votes. Also the fact that whenever i am in Adelaide i love to have a beer in Glenelg at the Grand was enough to sway me over the fact that i have never had a pet goldfish.
3 Votes Fan Chung Ling GT 27pts 20 reb 4 ass
An impressive state line to go with the top +/- in the game as well as only 3TO's and 0 PF was enough to get him the 3. There was a very narrow margin between the top 3 players and in the end Fan's ability to get to the line and not foul himself got him the votes.
2 Votes Chinh Ton GT 26pts 8ass 6 reb
Very efficient shooting for a guard, decent D, 8 assists and only 2 TO's got the Ton 2 votes.
1 Vote Bernabé da Gudiña GT 30pts 19reb 2 ass
The big Spaniard was to top scorer in the game but his 5TO's, low +/- and inability to get to the line meant that he only snuck in for the one vote. It was fairly close between all the players in the end but this was how i saw it in the end.
