Kings and Razorbacks in Collective Gouge

Ethan Switch - Monday, 5 April, 2004 - 20:49:17 - print it raw

The Sydney Kings saw salvation in a desperate game four of the ABC Learning Centres' NBL Championships played out at Sydney Olympic Parks' State Sport Centre Sunday night. Favourites West Sydney Razorbacks looked set to seal their claim of the 5 game series with a home game but failed to clinch the deal. Or so says the gloss of the basketball competition.

An alliance with Ticketmaster7 and the Entertainment Centre mention having "finalized plans to maximise ticket sales if Game 5 is required." Rambling on with "ifs" and words of varying possibility, the site moves a clear hope toward playing out the final game in the larger capacity venue.

In cahoots, the West Sydney Razorbacks. Wildly cocky in expecting to win game 4 and stealing the championship from the reigning Kings, they lost due in no small part to poor field goals and sloppy defence. Announced two days ahead of the night, a shift of the date of the presentation ball to fall outside of the 5 game series, that now renders their performance suspect.

Rivals in the public eye, the Kings and Razorbacks, not so behind shady deals. Feeding from turns of phrase and timely releases posted on their respective sites, the teams might have struck a deal to maximise the amount of money collected in the inaugural 5 game series format.

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
