The defending champions roll into town with that unmistakeable swagger, their arsenal looking worse for wear amid all the media hype about their unblemished record.

I can't believe the quality of play I am seeing in this years Bartercard NBL. I know I am bias but the game tonight between the Hawks and the Pistons was a joy to be part of. While I am sure to the fans it seemed a scrappy affair at times I feel as a basketball purist it was incredible. The pressure that mounted as the game wore on was fantastic. A fan actually asked me if my palms were very sweaty in the last few minutes such was the atmosphere.

Injuries to experienced bench forwards former Hawk Puke Lenden and Mike Homik will put the heat on the Waikato Pistons’ starters over the next month.

Lenden and Homik have fractures to their hand and ankle respectively and are set to miss the next month of the National Basketball League.

That means greater pressure on the starters for the two-times defending champion, starting tomorrow when they meet the Bay Hawks at 3pm at the Energy Events Centre in Rotorua.
