I went and saw Sydney Kings play last night and was thoroughly impressed.... by the catering. The Kings themselves, however, seemed lack lustre. Apart from a couple of guys, most of them seemed to be going at about half pace, from warm ups through to the last six minutes when they realised they were 20 points down and should get moving. But it was all too late. They lost to West Sydney, the 'Less Glamour, More Community' team of Sydney, who just wanted to win more.
I used to play a bit of basketball, a long way from NBL and some of the things we were taught, the Kings just didn't do. Like boxing out, or setting screens. Even their hustle has average. No diving on the floor. Actually, they did eventually. Even Matt Nielsen did start diving, but only in the last 5 minutes.
Anyway, wasn't very entertaining.
