The Importance of Defense

Got this clip from a basketball friend on Facebook and got me all excited though I should be resting my infected eyes, instead of blogging and editing photos. Thought I should share it with basketball fans of my once revered team - Chicago Bulls. And always remember besides MJ, there is always Pip.



Defense is not an easy thing. You need speed and you need precision timing. The difference between a good block and a foul is just a matter of a touch.

Here are some pictures from the Slingers game vs Barracudas.

This Sunday 18 Oct 2009 home game against the formidable Philippine Patriots, whom also won their first game against Indonesia. It will be an exciting match because the Patriots are favoured to win the league; and our Slingers with a decent outing against the Filipino teams in the Challenge Series should give our boys good exposure and learnings from the passionate Filipinos. Go get your tickets from Sistic and support Asean Basketball!
