Boti: 36ers need passion of youth
Surprised no one's mentioned Boti's article today.
THE passion of youth is what's sorely missing from Adelaide's 2006-07 NBL outfit, not that youth in itself is a complete cure-all.Ruing the need for speed
But tonight as the 36ers (5-9, 9th) take on New Zealand (4-7, 8th) in Auckland, it's hard to see where the reversal of their 90-99 loss on November 4 will come.
This week a former 36er noted for his passionate approach to the game, threw a hypothetical at me.Thought this was an amusing caption for the photo of Carlos Powell:
"If you lined up 10 basketballs on the centre-line, 10 State league players on one side of the court and the 36ers on the other, blew a whistle for them to run and grab a ball, the Sixers wouldn't come up with a single one," he said.
Harsh? Maybe.
Fair? Probably.
"NZ import Carlos Powell shows his athleticism with this dunk, as he will again here on Saturday at the All*Star Dunk contest, but hopefully not tonight."
