The NBL has dished up some weird and wacky things throughout this season, however, Round 8 clearly takes the cake.
The top-of-the-table Kings played against the bottom-of-the-ladder side twice during round 8 and subsequently lost both games.
The upsets didn't end there, second placed Perth also went down to the Hawks; ending a 25-game win streak over them at home. Cairns took down the higher ranked New Zealand Breakers whilst Adelaide look more comfortable on the road.
The league couldn't be a more even competition if you tried, making it must watch television night in; night out.
So who and what stood out the most during Round 8?
Haunting the Kings
In the movies he's known as Casper the friendly ghost, unfortunately for Sydney, the Casper they faced in Melbourne wasn't so friendly; although he was just as cold.
It's safe to say that the NBL ball hasn't affected Casper Ware as it has other imports. Playing in only his second game for Melbourne United, Ware put the Kings to the sword with an impressive 28-point display.
With the game tied and only six seconds on the clock, United draw up the play for Ware, he calmly ambled up to the three-point line and sunk the biggest shot of the round.

Trice as Nice
Getting acclimatised to the surrounds of the NBL can take it's time for new players, Travis Trice can attest to that.
The former Michigan State Spartan found the going tough early on, his highest scoring game during his opening three matches was only 11 points against the 36ers.
After missing the first four Taipans games to start the month, Trice again struggled in his return against Melbourne however turned things around against the Breakers. Finishing with a game high 31 points on 12/17 shooting to go along with 7 assists, all the while carrying the Taipans to a much needed victory.
Life on the Road
Last week we mentioned Adelaide having problems at home, during Round 8 they played two games on the road and came away with two wins.
Unlike games earlier on in the season, the 36ers weren't relying purely on the impact of star point guard Jerome Randle to get them across the line.
In both games, against Brisbane and Sydney, they had at least four players scoring in double figures and got a much greater impact from their bench unit.
Adelaide are now the only team in the league with a winning record on the road, currently 4-3 (much better than their 1-3 home record!).
Snakes and Ladders
It was the round for upsets as we saw a multitude of games going the way of the underdog. Melbourne were bottom of the ladder when they decided to upset the Kings, Adelaide also were stranded on the bottom when they dethroned the Sydney side.
The Kings and Perth Wildcats, who sit atop the NBL ladder, now find themselves both riding two game losing streaks.
Illawarra have not won in Perth since November 5, 2005. That is an insane 25 games that have gone the way of the home town Wildcats. That streak was ended during Round 8 in miraculous fashion, after falling behind early the Hawks surged behind former MVP Rotnei Clarke and took down the Wildcats.
Well played Round 8, well played.
