Ice Skating at Singapore Basketball Center

What would you expect when BBAXN meet Malacca Chin Woo and Home United meeting Eng Tat Hornets? Fast pace game with lots of fast breaks are what you would want to see or expects from these four teams. But in last night match, none of the two highlights were showing sign of what we expected the game to be…. It turned out to be two boring match of the whole tournament so far – disappointment.

It’s not any team fault for their display in last night’s games. It’s not the players who took the game lightly. It’s all because of the “Ice Skating ring” court of SBC. The courts in SBC are so slippery these days. It became worst when its raining. The whole place becomes a skating place for everyone.

Players were falling here and there and even the referees are victim to those floor. And to my surprise, there isn’t any floor boys mopping the floor and the players have to do it themselves. Nevertheless, the matches went on without having any players injured because of the condition of the floor, but the pace of the games was totally affected by it. We seem to be watching a batch of 40 year old players running up and down the court.

Home United and Chin Woo as expected beat their opponent last night and remaining the only team unbeaten so far in the tournament. This would mean that Sunday games would be like a Grand Final – Winner takes all in this final showdown.

Hopefully by then, BAS would quickly work something out with their courts and we can all witness a great match which involves the two titans.
