Tomorrow will be the first home game of the Singapore Slingers season 2009/2010. They will be playing against PBA Coca-Cola Tigers from Philippines. It should be an interesting match up and my first time seeing the locals in action with a much different line up from previous years. How will they fare? Lions vs Tiger..wonder if they will have a tiger mascot carrying coke vs our glorious lion mascot with his Brewerkz beer!!! Hahah...I hate coke and never refused a Brewerkz draft!
Anyway getting excited from the months of absence of live basketball!
Just to break down the Tigers which was formed in 2002 and won 2 straight PBA championships but since then, they have been on a downhill at under 0.500 W/L %. Tigers are currently led by head coach - Kenneth Duremdes who is a retired Filipino professional basketball player. Kenneth is a former PBA Most Valuable Player in 1998, and a former member of the Philippine national basketball team. Why am I listing the coach instead of the players is due to quite a number of transfers and trades in the Tiger's squad, they are confusing me!
Anyway it will be pretty interesting to see how we fare tomorrow! Go Slingers!
And if you haven't already got your tickets...get them at Sistic.
I will try to cover the game tomorrow with pictures to be posted within a couple of days!
