NBL Grand Final Series

Post by Presti35 »

Currently the Perth Wildcats lead the Sydney Kings in the best of five, 2 games to 1.

But whats this....
NBL season cancelled mid-Grand Finals as Sydney Kings withdraw due to coronavirus outbreak, winner still unknown

I wonder if Sydney were up 2-1 and had the next home game, would they withdraw?

No winner means no award won simple it’s nil and void

Or a third alternative - Perth wins. That's the official outcome.

And the correct call.

They had a maximum of 2 games to play. Sydney pulled out. It's doubtful that Sydney could have forced a game 5, let alone win both games.

The NBL were ok to go ahead. The Wildcats were prepared and had played in Sydney and they were prepared to complete the series. The Kings were not.

Would they have pulled out if they had the series lead and the next home game? One win from the title? Extremely doubtful.

The 4th game would have been tonight.
