|
| 4:16 |
[Comment From phileos]
slingers defintely has a better chance in terms of home ground advantage & also in term of squad depth, i guess it will goes down to how the locals from barracuda perform, if they want to have any chance in this game |

|
| 4:22 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Plenty of energy from Wei Jian, despite his injured hand. This only spells bad news for the Barracudas. They have to do something about those turnovers. |

|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc pass to a free pathman on the switch! 11-5 |

|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Steven Khoo is on for Jeffers. |
|
| 4:26 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: pathman airballs a jumper over jones. it looked like he was over compensating on the shot over his 6’11 defender |
|
| 4:27 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: camaso loses the ball on the dribble, thats after desmond misses a 3 |
|
| 4:27 |

|
| 4:28 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: and the 2nd. 20-13 lead for slingers, 30 secs to play in the 1st quarter |
|
| 4:29 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc misses the 3, and brunei will hold for the last shot |
|
| 4:29 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: but they lose the ball, and desmond’s bank shot rims out. slingers lead 20-13 after the 1st period. |

[Comment From phileos]
so who is the captain for slingers ? |
| 4:30 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phileos – Make a guess! ; ) |
|
| 4:31 |
[Comment From KIDOOOOS]
pathman! |
| 4:31 |
[Comment From phileos]
hmmm .. pathman ? |
| 4:31 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: LeBlanc is top scorer for the Slingers with nine points. |
|
| 4:31 |
[Comment From Wei3]
pathman! |
| 4:31 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the slingers’ running game is definitely hurting the barracudas. while jones has been relatively effective inside, their turnovers are hurting them. |
|
| 4:31 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @Kidoooos, @Wei3 and @Phileos – Not quite right! Think out of the box guys! |
|
| 4:32 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: A total of 6 turnovers for the Barracudas – something they definitely have to work on. |
|
| 4:32 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: slingers, though, are only shooting 8/23 from the field. 2nd quarter to begin now, with brunei on possession |
|
| 4:32 |
[Comment From phildude]
Al Vergara captain! |
| 4:32 |
[Comment From phileos]
al vagera ? |
| 4:32 |
[Comment From KIDOOOOS]
wei jian? |
| 4:32 |
[Comment From Wei3]
marcus? |
| 4:32 |
[Comment From slingers]
weijian? |
| 4:33 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: esmond tan with a long 3 from the wing. 20-16 slingers |
|
| 4:33 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: and weilong answers back wtih a terrific high arcing 3! 23-16 slingers |
|
| 4:33 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Hint: Think out of the box ; ) The game has resumed, I’ll reveal shortly. Follow us on Twitter if you haven’t already! http://twitter.com/redhoopsdotcom |
|
| 4:33 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Wei Long is on for the Slingers, along with Steven Khoo and Michael Wong – a very Singaporean lineup |
|
| 4:33 |
[Comment From wwl]
weilong? |
| 4:34 |
[Comment From phildude]
COACH ARSEGO — captain hehehehe |
| 4:34 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: steven khoo inside for 2! jones and jeffers collided on the play before that, and jones looks hurt. |
|
| 4:34 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phildude – Haha, that is way out of the box! 😉 |
|
| 4:34 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 25-18 now after a brunei score |
|
| 4:34 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weilong gets clobbered on the screen by jones, and an offensive foul is called. |
|
| 4:35 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc just missed another open 3 from a steven feed |
|
| 4:36 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jeffers gets fouled on the shot and will get 2 from the line. timeout barracudas . |
|
| 4:37 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the visiting team looks somewhat out of sorts. they definitely need to talk things over in the huddle now |
|
| 4:37 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: TO Barracudas. They are just simplely not playing as a team – the look on their faces show it all. Slingers are running circles around them. |
|
| 4:37 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 25-18 slingers, with 7:16 to play in the half. |
|
| 4:38 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jeffers at the line, and makes 1 of 2. 26-18 slingerts |
|
| 4:39 |
[Comment From wwl]
weilong is good 🙂 |
| 4:39 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: and now pilgrim to the line after jeffers’ first foul. |
|
| 4:39 |
[Comment From phileos]
i guess the barracuda has not gel enough as a team, & also their locals aren’t versatile as their imports, |
| 4:39 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phileos – Yeah they are really not playing as a unit, and the locals look very nervous. |
|
| 4:39 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he makes 1 of 2 as well. 26-19 |
|
| 4:39 |
[Comment From phildude]
how about leblanc as captain? wild guess |
| 4:39 |
[Comment From Defence wins Games]
Michael Wong Captain ? |
| 4:40 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Al Vergara and Wei Jian is on for Wei Long and LeBlanc |
|
| 4:40 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Regarding Slingers captain, Arsego has gone for a co-captain system – so TWO captains! 🙂 |
|
| 4:40 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: marcus misses a contest layup, brunei with the ball now |
|
| 4:40 |
[Comment From phileos]
jan .. the captain is an local or foreign ? give some hint .. haha |
| 4:40 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Marcus Ng is also on for Michael Wong. |
|
| 4:40 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: pilgrim draws contact from steven before banking in the layup. a chance for the 3pt play |
|
| 4:40 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he converts it, and the lead is 4 now. 26-22 |
|
| 4:41 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weijian misses a wing trey, and barracudas with a chance to cut the deficit again |
|
| 4:42 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: marcus turns it over, and brunei ball now |
|
| 4:42 |
[Comment From phileos]
2 CAPTAINS !!! thats indeed out of the box … so pathman & al vagera ? haas juz a wild guess |
| 4:43 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: slingers timeout now, they’ve come up wtih several consecutive empty possessions now and thats something they will definitely talk about. |
|
| 4:44 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Barracudas has been unable to make use of their height advantage in the paint. Slingers’ speed seems to be the winning formular. |
|
| 4:44 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Out of the box as I’ve said it 😉 So whoever makes the right guess for BOTH captains first will win a prize from Red Sports – A pair of tickets to an ABL game in Singapore! Fastest finger first – guessing starts at the Half Time buzzer. So start cracking your heads 😉 |
|
| 4:44 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: pilgrim scores, and the lead is down to 2. |
|
| 4:44 |
[Comment From slingers]
2POINTGUARD ARE BOTH CAPTAINS!!! |
| 4:44 |
[Comment From phileos]
i guess that timeout is needed to get back their tempo |
| 4:45 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: brunei on a 1-2-2 zone defence now |
|
| 4:45 |
[Comment From Wei3]
slinger girls time 🙂 |
| 4:45 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: marcus misses badly on a trey, and is replaced by leblanc. a chance for the tie, or even a brunei lead |
|
| 4:45 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: but esmond misses a shot, and vergara brings it up now |
|
| 4:46 |
[Comment From singapore slings]
think in ABL brunei has the strongest import in mike pilgrim but has the weakest local players |
| 4:46 |
[Comment From phileos]
zone defence is more of a advantage to their height, |
| 4:46 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Slingers are letting Barracudas back into the match! A horrid 32% FG shooting! Barracudas are within 2. |
|
| 4:46 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: wei jian slashes left and right down the lane on the drive, and gets fouled by pilgrim, who falls again, |
|
| 4:46 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Pilgrim doesn’t look like he is very ‘bouncy’ – if you know what I mean. Perhaps because he is so tall already, ha ha. |
|
| 4:46 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he makes 1 of 2 from the line, 27-24 slingers |
|
| 4:47 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: esmond fouled by pathman and the shot goes in, a chance for the 3 point play and the tie game |
|
| 4:47 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he misses, but behjmamin lin corrals the offensive board |
|
| 4:47 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: they score, and brunei leads 28-27 |
|
| 4:47 |
|
| 4:48 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc answers back with a trey from vergara’s pass, |
|
| 4:48 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: they score agian though, now brunei up 31-30 |
|
| 4:48 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: The Barracudas are coming back. Slingers look distracted |
|
| 4:48 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jeffers puts back weijian;s miss , slingers back in front 32-31 |
|
| 4:49 |
[Comment From Wei3]
how tall is esmond tan? |
| 4:49 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the ball barely brushed against the cylinder before the shot clock went off. |
|
| 4:49 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: brunei come back to score and lead again, 33-32 |
|
| 4:49 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: they are trading baskets and leads now |
|
| 4:50 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jones with another huge rejection. he;s ruling the defensive paint now |
|
| 4:50 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @Wei3 – Not very tall for a basketball player though, 1.8m thereabouts? |
|
| 4:50 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the brunei coaching staff are up in arms over the shot clock now, which shows 23secs left. its now adjusted to 16s |
|
| 4:50 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Michael Wong is on for Wei Jian |
|
| 4:51 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc travels. the mistakes and missed shots are piling up for the slingers now |
|
| 4:51 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jones posts up on jeffers and banks in one. 35-32 brunei now. |
|
| 4:51 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Techical errors is what we don’t need at a time when the game is so close as is! |
|
| 4:51 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the slingers need to gert some stops and score at the other end |
|
| 4:51 |
[Comment From singapore slings]
is the crowd good today?? |
| 4:51 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @singapore slings – Moderate I’d say. 🙂 |
|
| 4:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: which they do! weilong gets fouled on the long jumper which goes in, but he misses the free throw though |
|
| 4:52 |
[Comment From phileos]
the slingers need to get back their tempo badly for a time like this |
| 4:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: vergara sinks a 3! slingers 38-35 now |
|
| 4:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: that was a 3 pointer from weilong as well, the one he was fouled on |
|
| 4:53 |
[Comment From phileos]
crucial 3 at a crucial moment … haas |
| 4:53 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weilong to the line now. 25.9s left in the half, slingers up 3 |
|
| 4:53 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he misses both though. thats 3 misses from the line from the backup point guard |
|
| 4:53 |
[Comment From slingers]
wow.. weilong plays well today.. gogogo! |
| 4:54 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: benjamin lim fouled on layup by weilong, and wiill get 2 from the line |
|
| 4:54 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: YES! He is definitely on fire – a lot hunger from the young man. |
|
| 4:54 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he misses both, but adirano rebounds and scores |
|
| 4:55 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: in a hurried end to the half, weilong’s 3 rims out. so the slingers lead by 38-37 at the half after being up by at least 7 early on |
|
| 4:55 |
[Comment From slingers]
but i think he mus improve in his free throw.. hehe |
| 4:55 |
[Comment From phileos]
another lose rebound from a lost free thow |
| 4:55 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
we are losing out on rebound |
| 4:55 |
[Comment From phileos]
the slingers need to control their defensive rebounds ..rebounding is important esp playing wif a team that got height advantage over them |
| 4:55 |
[Comment From bballer]
is wei sian still in the team? is he injured or what? |
| 4:56 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @bballer – yes he is.
|
|
| 4:56 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: That wraps up the first half with Wei Long probably the star of the end of the second quarter. He has 6 points from 2 three pointers but his free throw shooting is horrid! 0 out of three attempts. |
|
| 4:56 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
weilong need more playing time |
| 4:56 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Alright guys, lets plat the GUESS THE CAPTAIN game!
Arsego has made an out-of-the-box co-captain system decision. So whoever makes the right guess for BOTH captains first will win a prize from Red Sports – A pair of tickets to an ABL game in Singapore!
Fastest finger first – guessing starts NOW.
|
|
| 4:57 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Let’s play. |
|
| 4:57 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @Wei3, @phileos – Nope. |
|
| 4:57 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @pro – There are TWO captains 😉 |
|
| 4:57 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: it seems lonnie jones is quite a force in the defensive paint. he has blocked 3 shots and altered many others. so the slingers need to convert their open jumpers. something which they are not doing to great effect so far. they are 9/24 from the field, 5/16 from downtown |
|
| 4:58 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @singapore sling, @phileos – Nope. |
|
| 4:58 |
[Comment From changz]
anyone know where we can stream the game online? i cant watch it as australia doesnt have the coverage. =.=” |
| 4:58 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @pro – Nope! |
|
| 4:58 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phileos, @bballer – Nope! |
|
| 4:58 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: barracudas, after a tentative start, are shooting a sizzling 12/22 (55%) so far. |
|
| 4:58 |
[Comment From Wei3]
can make 1 more guess? pathman and marcus? |
| 4:58 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Yes you can make unlimited number of guesses until someone gets it right! |
|
| 4:59 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @pro, @slingers, @singapore sling, @phileos – Noooope. |
|
| 4:59 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Well, we thought at the end of the first quarter, that Slinger would run away with the match – and it definitely looked that way at the start ot the second quarter with Barracudas looking demoralised. Not sure what it was, but Slinger let their opponents back into the match with very slack shooting. Fortunately, Wei Long and Vergara paired up to restore Slingers’ lead. |
|
| 4:59 |
[Comment From phildude]
I’m disqualified in the contest as I’m here in the Philippines. After the challenge series, the Slingers definitely have my respect |
| 5:00 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phildude – Thanks! |
|
| 5:00 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: The Slingers definitely have to play more seriously. Marcus Ng hasn’t turned up yet and neither has Pathman. They will have to be more active in the second half if Slingers want to win this match. |
|
| 5:00 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @slingers, @Wei3, @phileos, @lol – Nooope! |
|
| 5:01 |
[Comment From bballer]
is both the captain local? |
| 5:01 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Here’s the hint – Not both locals 😉 |
|
| 5:01 |

so difficult dun guess already |
| 5:01 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: much has been made of brunei’s 5 imports but it’s actually the locals off the bench who have made the differnce. esmond and ben lim have combined to score 8 points |
|
| 5:01 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @singapore sling – Oww, don’t give up! |

| 5:02 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: OK Big HINT!
Its a combination of 1 Local + 1 Foreigner 🙂 |
|
| 5:02 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: For the Barracudas, Esmond Tan has been very impressive. Of course the Americans have also made their presence felt, but for a local Esmond Tan is definitely the man to watch in the second half. |
|
| 5:03 |

|
| 5:09 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the largest slinger lead was 9 points, 20-11 and 25-16. it looked like a blowout at the point, but brunei has done very well to establish their offence and adjust to slingers’ attack |
|
| 5:10 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: their zone defence is obviously channeling the slinger players into the paint. where lonnie jones awaits. |
|
| 5:10 |

its seems the slingers are getting back their tempo, & the barracudas are falling .. |

Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Pathman gets some playing time, takes over Co-captain Jeffers. |

Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he misses both, and the baaracudas miss one from half court. 3rd quarter ends with slingers up 69-52 |
|
| 5:30 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Wei Long’s three point shooting has been on the money! A nice 57%! However, his free throws has been horrid! 0 out of 5! |
|

[Comment From phileos]
wei long is telling his coach … he wants more play time !! hahaha .. but i guess he is on on form today for those 3 pts made .. a good start for him … |
| 5:31 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: now’s as good as anytime for coach frank to blood in some local players like steven, michael or lao lao. the latter hasnt featured in this match yet |
|
| 5:31 |
[Comment From slingers]

[Comment From phileos]
wow wei long 5 misses from free thow line .. free throw shooting seems to be a major problem for the slingers … |
| 5:31 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
maybe we can suggest weilong to take his free throw from the 3 point line |
| 5:32 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
he will definately make some |
| 5:32 |

Jan, Red Sports: @singapore sling – HAHA! Good one. |

[Comment From Guest]
Go BArracuda. . . .. |
| 5:32 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: wei jian has played sparsely in the 3rd quarter, perhaps to preserve him? he suffered a hand injury last week and has not recovered fully |
|
| 5:32 |
[Comment From phildude]
an all-Singaporean line-up can torch an all-Pinoy RP Patriots at any given time. judging from last night’s game the imports delivered the goods for the Patriots |
| 5:32 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: the fourth quarter just got underway, brunei in possesion |
|
| 5:33 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: The scoring for Slingers has been very evenly spread out – points for all players. However, a player that hasn’t shown up is Marcus Ng. Only 4 points from the starter. Hopefully, he’ll show up the fourth period. |
|
| 5:33 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jones drove in for 2 and gets fouled, leblanc’s 3rd foul and jones misses the free throw |
|
| 5:33 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 69-54 slingers now |
|
| 5:34 |
|

[Comment From bballer]
maybe they resting wei jian for 4th quarter |
| 5:35 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weijian misses badly on the 2 v 1 , camaso is remonstrating with the ref now |
|
| 5:35 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: that was his 5th, and he has fouled out of the ball game |
|
| 5:35 |
[Comment From Sesemo]
PLs mention also Brunei’s players that make points. . . |
| 5:35 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @Sesemo – Jones 10 points, Pilgrim 14 points, Avenido11 points – the top 3 scorers for Barracudas now 🙂 |
|
| 5:35 |
[Comment From phileos]
with the given lead, slingers just need to hold on, played at a slower tempo, avoid injuries, the season is still long .. |
| 5:36 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: leblanc to the line for 2, but he misses both |
|
| 5:36 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jones gets fouled on the hook shot, and goes to the line once again |
|
| 5:36 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phileos – I think Arsego is giving the locals maximum exposure with this comfortable lead. |
|
| 5:36 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
wats the lineup?? |
| 5:37 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he makes 1 of 2, 71-58 slinger lead now., |
|

Jan, Red Sports: @singapore sling – The American imports are back on court with Wei Jian, Wei long and Pathman |
|
| 5:37 |
[Comment From singapore sling]

|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jeffers scores from a pathman pass, lead now up to 15 |
|
| 5:37 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @singapore sling – Yeah especially its only beginning of season! |
|
| 5:37 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: pilgrim scores at the other end despite leblanc;s close presence. |
|
| 5:38 |
[Comment From singapore sling]

[Comment From fan]

| 5:38 |
[Comment From slingers]
is thr alot of brunei supporters? or is there more slingers supporters? |
| 5:39 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 75-60 slingers now, and weijian with a chance to extend it to 16 after the timeout |
|
| 5:39 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @fan, @slingers – Definitely more Singaporeans. Can’t tell the numbers though, not as many as the pre-season games definitely. |
|
| 5:40 |
[Comment From phileos]
i will say more neutral supporters .. hahaha .. |
| 5:40 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 7:18 to play, and the lead LOOKS safe. but no lead is safe in pro basketball |
|
| 5:40 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @phileos – Yeah can say so, ha ha, Singaporeans are not the most ‘hard core’ when it comes to basketball, unlike how they are with european football 😉 |
|
| 5:40 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: Barracudas are shooting rather well – 50% as compared to Slingers 43% |
|
| 5:40 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: barracudas coach ramos just told his team not to give up. they will strive not to. |
|
| 5:41 |
[Comment From ok la]
what seems to be the problem with the baracudas |
| 5:41 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @ok la – They are not really playing as a unit., I’d say. |
|
| 5:41 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weijian , though, makes the freebie. 76-60 lead now |
|
| 5:41 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: jeffers, while trying to reach in a steal, appears to have his forearm jabbed by jones. jeffers looks pretty hurt |
|
| 5:42 |
|
| 5:42 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: weijian steals the pass and slams it ! SLAMS IT! |
|
| 5:42 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: its showtime slingers now, marcus with a over the back pass to leblanc who failed to control it. 18 point lead now |
|
| 5:42 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 20 now, after weilong steals it and lays it in. |
|
| 5:42 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: Jeffers is asking for a sub, injury I reckon! |
|
| 5:43 |
[Comment From slingers]
i believe supporters is the 6th man for the team in this match.. but not so for next match against a philipines team.. |
| 5:43 |
[Comment From singapore sling]
the problem with baracudas is they cannot play as well as the slingers |
| 5:43 |

|
| 5:45 |
[Comment From phileos]
barracuda as comapred to the rest of the team in ABL, is weakest in the squad depth i suppose, at least in southeast asia, you won’t see the bruneians famous for basketball as comapred to RP, thailand, malaysia & indonesia, & not to mention singapore is not even in the top 4 in SEA |
| 5:45 |

Slingers playing not to los. not playing to win. Very bad!!! |
| 5:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he makes one of 2, 82-66 slingrs now |
|
| 5:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: they run right back at barracudas and jeffers scores inside, 84-66 |
|
| 5:52 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @fan – Its the first game, I reckon they are taking it slow and steady. |
|
| 5:52 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: vegara leads the fast break and dishes to desmond for the layup. |

[Comment From ok la]
can you compare the imports of both teams looks like the slingers have better imports? |
| 5:53 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @ok la – The Barracudas imports are bigger, but definitely not as good a shooter as the Slingers. |
|
| 5:53 |
|
Koh Yizhe, Redsports.sg: 5 local players! Steven Khoo, Lao Lao, Pathman, Michael Wong and Desmond. |
|
| 5:53 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: he makes 1 of 2 |
|
| 5:54 |
|
Jan, Red Sports: @ok la – Also the Slingers’ imports seem to have better chemistry with the locals, Barracudas’ imports feel somewhat misplaced. |
|
| 5:54 |
|
Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: 86-67. surprisingly, wielong and vegara are both not on the court., lets see who plays point for the slingers |

Erwin Wong, Redsports.sg: thanks for staying with us, basketball fans. it was a good result for the slingers, but they still have to work on certain areas, like preserving leads. the players arent pleased with the way they led their first quarter lead slip |

Don’t forget little Alvin (he’s 9) XD Wei Jian’s number 1 fan
@jan hohoho, we’ll try to sneak to that area again this sunday XD
@Slingerrocks – You are welcome! I suppose you were sitting with Gordon? Then both of your cheering for the Slingers motivated us too especially for someone like me who is quite a basketball-idiot. So thanks!
Thxs Yizhe, Erwin and Jan!!!
