“If RV and HCI qualify for the second round, then the writer will of course turn speechless. In fact, Iâ€™m sure more than just the writer will be speechless.”

I hope you’re feeling speechless now, writer

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

The article above was written by a reader, just to let you know.

Certainly, confidence is a key factor, regardless of age.

Uncle Les, I do not see why AHS is in a group of death, even if their team has many sec 3s? I feel that they are confident of winning.

To -.-

You are a rude idiot for using the word ‘chaoyang’. How dare you use the name of the school for intellectually disabled students as a derogatory phrase?

Do you think you are being witty or clever here?

I have news for you – it shows neither.

Instead, it shows you are a moron and your lack of intelligence and upbringing.

the jurong sports hall is very very slippery. some of the players almost sprain their ankles today. also, it is very very warm as the doors have to be shut and there is no fans. i hope that next tiem the organisation can choose other location.

Group of death or otherwise, it seems still that this year’s championship will be Cat High’s to lose. Given the stellar play of PHS thus far, they run too thin a lineup and when compared to the sheer number of players that stock the Cat High lineup, I still feel that when the dust finally settles, it will be Cat High that remains standing.

Having said that, I think it is also fair to say that this year has seen a marked improvement in the overall standard of play by almost all the schools who made the Nationals. It is heartening to see so many young hoopsters who are putting in time and effort to hone their skills. Kudos to BAS too for trying to slowly improve on the level of coaching that is available in Singapore.

Finally, I really hope that C div Nationals will be held once again at BAS, Jurong West stadium is really out of the way.

As Les mentioned, it’s up to individual to express his/her view which may be correct or vioe versa. Early 2009 after the North Zone B Division Basketball Round 1 Grouping wss released, many voiced that PHS and AISS would qualify from Group A and ultimately be the Zone Top 4. But this was not so! A dark horse overturned AISS. Past historical records seem to preside the thoughts without realising the present strengths and weaknesses.
Underdogs, let’s prove ourselves to eliminate the dominance.

As with most or even all written pieces, writers have their points of view. In my book, all written stories are biased one way or the other.

This whole website is biased – against international sport. You hardly see any international sports right? That’s because we are choosing to focus on Singapore.

Coming back to this story, you may disagree with it. So that’s fine. And I encourage everyone to speak their mind. That is what makes it fun to run a website. People tell you what they think.

If RV and HCI qualify for the second round, then the writer will of course turn speechless. In fact, I’m sure more than just the writer will be speechless.

If they don’t, then he has made a good judgment call. That’s all.

It’s nothing personal and the writer has nothing against the two schools.

As I’ve said before, if you would like to write an opinion piece of your own, please feel free to send it.

You send it, we post it.

Hey, could a rephrase be done for “Perhaps the organisers can look into reformatting the competition to ensure such freak results do not happen again.” because it sounds rather offending and may give a bad impression to others. Thanks.
