Behaved really badly on Saturday during our Spartans game. We were totally out of sync and no strategy against a strong shooting team. I pride myself on being very knowledgeable about basketball strategies, having played and watched basketball games for 20 over years now, and the inability to beat this team stumped me. Well we lost by over 30 points as I was uncharacteristically missing every ball and my teammates have seemed to throw in the towel. So I did what I did and behaved badly since I was already sacrificing playing time to allow them to try to do their thing...so why can't I be the ass and do badly instead of being helpless on the sidelines. At least this way, I can blame myself instead of others.
This sums up how I feel when I see my teammates losing focus on the court and throwing out chances or giving away the ball to opponents.
Listen to the commentary, wake up J.R Smith..Nuggets lost 102-100 in this game. So I blame you for the loss. If only it was that easy to shift the blame. :P

ABL Playoffs
The ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) playoff race is heating up with only two more weeks of the regular season left to play. The Singapore Slingers have one remaining home game next Monday January 11th before going on the road for their last three games of the inaugural ABL season. Singapore will need to win at least one more game to be assured of the final four. Only the top 4 teams will make the playoffs. The playoffs will be a best of three semi-finals with the 1st place team playing the 4th qualifier and 2nd VS 3rd. The finals will be a best of five series with the team having the better record through the regular season to have home court advantage.
ABL Remaining Regular Season Schedule
Interesting facts as of today.
1) The Wednesday win was the second time the Slingers have beaten the League Leaders Patriots and earned the split on the Philippines.
2) In fact the Slingers already have the split of winning at least two out of three games on the second and fourth place teams as well – Indonesia and Brunei.
If Singapore can defeat Malaysia next Monday, January 11th, at the Indoor Stadium we will cement a playoff position. We last met KL Dragons back on November 22nd, whom defeated the Slingers 86-74 in our home court. So come show your support at the Singapore Indoor Stadium as Singapore battles to make the playoffs in the first year of the only professional sports League competition for ASEAN. So see you all on Monday!!

Back to Back Wins!
Been very busy, but since the last amazing come back win over Thailand Tigers...no decent Slinger fan should miss this Wednesday 6th Jan game against the current #1 league standing Philippines Patriots. And the reward for those who came despite a jam from the soccer game at the stadium (Yes you soccer fans who are sick of supporting a losing soccer team - come support Slingers!) , was a sweet win over the Patriots! Checking out the Facebook ABL status and comments after the game showed a muted response as the game ends...even sweeter!
