PHANTOMS PG: Manera SG: Vince SF: Schaw PF: Downes C: Gayler PANDAS PG: Cambridge SG: O'Neill SF: Lukic PF: Hunt C: Chewie Overview: The Pandas play the second of their homestand, this time against the Phantoms. The Phantoms are desperate for a win as a loss will see them sitting in 5th place. The Pandas are still a mathematical playoffs chance, so a win is essential for them. Key Battle: Hunt and Downes are two of the best PF in the competition and will both be influencial, but the key battle will be between the two PGs. Both Cambridge and Manera have been very influencial at times, but struggled to make an impact at others. Whichever PG can contain the other will make the opposition struggle to create play and force another playmaker to step up. Coverage: Quarter by quarter.
Carning for the Pandas here.... just because it will be funny for the Phantoms to lose seeing as they have waited so long.
