First Sixers game I've seen in a few years tonight, I can't see what all the complaining's been about these last few years, I thought they were pretty good!
All jokes aside that was an absolutely cracking night's entertainment, a bit of argie bargie early on to get the crowd fired up, the classic David v Goliath story underpinning the whole event, and the introduction of an exciting new import. After the niggles early on I became really emotionally involved and was getting fired up for every basket and every stop, solid lead at the half but still plenty of ball left in the game, plenty of time for Kings to mount a comeback, but no, not in our house.
I was getting so fired up all I wanted to do was run up to the Kings bench and shout "Get the f*** out of our house", fortunately for all involved I was sitting in the cheap seats and didn't get this opportunity.
Loved watching Hodge play, he's certainly an interesting one, looks pretty fragile (has 4 arms and no legs), doesn't take care of the ball real well, seems pretty loose on D and doesn't shoot well, but his positives are fantastic, genuine slasher, can get to the hoop, drive and dish, some nice dunks for kids, some great loose ball rebounds, but most of all I loved his attitude, was getting the crowd involved, clearly loved being out there, gave the team a sense of confidence that was presumably lacking before his arrival.
This is one of the worst posts I've written, all very incongruous, but I'm still too pumped! I'll leave it by putting into perpective what we just did. We comprehensively demolished a team with an 18-2 record, a team who earlier in the season defeated a Euroleague team and drew with the Chines national team in an international tournament, a team on a 7 (?) game winning streak. Surely this is turning point for the season. Surely.
