Outer implosion; Sydney Kings vs Perth Wildcats - Entertainment Centre - 13/11/04

Cate Blanchette, looking far better off screen, watches the rushes between filming scenes for Little Fish as onlookers crowd Thomas street in Haymarket watching Cate watch Cate. High winds scream the louvres of the Ent Cent, banners flying off their hooks just missing the eyeballs of those in line to buy tickets. There one second, gone the next, a clownish man on stilts held up by a gigantic balloon last seen talking to the band setting up outside McDonald's. From another direction, Jade and Ryan walk up as the actor parks a car, careful not to run over the cameraman's foot. A quick lesson in numerical designation pops the Korean seated in 14, the others with him looking more than upset at not knowing where the numbers start.

Co-incidence awards Jason Smith the player of the month as Perth's Scott Fisher accepts the Philips coach of the month before the start of the game. Tip-off is messy, flailing arms eventually see the Sydney Kings running it to the board and out of basket. Peter Crawford of the Perth Wildcats begins the notching as both teams start slow, the tally just as incremental and sparse. Minutes run down and the score board just barely sees either team break in a 20. Rodney O tests out the bass level of the sound system checking in the roar of the crowd. First quarter ends with Kings up 24 on the Wildcats 19.

Only Sixteen (Kings vs Wildcats - Grand Finals: Game 2 - 06/04/03)

Game one was played out and won by Sydney. The second of the series moved the diehard fans toward a domed location in Perth. I was not die hard. If anything I was only in the games for the ride. Since no plane tickets were purchased for the trip West of Australia, a few of us decided to head down to an rejuvenated establishment of the retired sort to watch their feed of the game. Televisions were mounted into the ceiling and after one of the group asked for the sound to be turned up we leant back and cranked our necks to watch the spectacle as covered by the boys from FOX Sports.

Stats flashed on the screen: 68% of teams who win the first game go on to win the finals, only 30% of these sweep the series. Brian Goorjian hadn't won a finals series for the last five shots at the championships.

Can You Smell It? (Kings vs Wildcats - Grand Finals: Game 1 - 03/04/03)

The area outside the Entertainment Centre was filled more so than I've ever known it to be. More than a month or so ago during Seniors Week when they were cattled off in buses to some unknown destination. Blocking a set of steps to the upper levels were six amigos in full three amigo attire. One gave me the eye but I think it might have been either lazy or glassy. I'm hoping glassy. Seats in the centre were pretty much full, all except for a smattering of purple upholstery here and there in the vacancies. On a regular game there'd be an expanse between the back wall and the last line of patrons, that wall was taken up that night.

There was no music to warm up the freezing fans. The six amigos obviously couldn't get themselves a gig at Game One. The Stone Age Lion was lowered from the rafters but unlike Owen Hart only his feathery wings dropped from the height. His cape was thrown off as soon as his hind feet touched the ground and with the excitement, proceeded to strip down to his jocks. While they Kings were being introduced this near naked Lion was strutting his fur.
