Dragons breathing fire in NBL

The South Dragons are looking the in-form team in the NBL right now. On a hot 5 game winning streak they seem to be taking all before them.

It all began with a solid win over the Blaze at the Gold Coast Convention center. No surprises there despite the road trip.

They then traveled down to Woolongong with another good win the result. While the Hawks have been a bit up and down it would have by no means been a given.

Next on the list were the struggling Spirit at the old Kingdome in Sydney.

The Spirit made a game out of it but the Dragons were too focused in the end and held on for a close one.

With Brian Goorjian having had a few words to say about his team’s road trips, the next night they hosted the reigning champs on home soil.

The Tigers were no match and the Dragons delivered them an almost embarrassing defeat.

Now if that wasn’t enough the Taipans, who’d just come off a win over the the early in-form Breakers, traveled down to Hisense to be given the same stinging welcome the Tigers had received a week earlier!

Is it the Goorjian factor or are the Dragons simply coming of age?

Whatever the reason they’re sure to provide some exciting basketball for the remainder of the season.

My tip is for a local derby down in Melbourne come playoff time but it is early days yet.
