7am?!?! That’s just insane.

I just found out Singapore is playing at 7AM tomorrow against Korea.

I was going to cover them for their originally scheduled 11am game but sorry lah, 7am is just ridiculous.

So to play at 7am, means they have to get to the stadium at 6am, which means they have to wake up at 4.30am if they are to eat breakfast or risk playing on an empty stomach.

What kind of scheduling is that?

Okay confirm already. The reserve of nationals u-16 will not replace although kang liang is the first reserve he will have the jersey and so but he will not be allowed to play as BAS do not wish to pay the replacement fee of 800US dollars to FIBA as a fine of late changes to the teamlist. So singapore is going ahead with 11players with 2reserve. To AND yes both kang liang and sherwin is good, i have seen them play and personally kang liang has a strong defence with lots of steal and do great decision and sherwin with good fastbreak and fakes. But too bad to kang liang as BAS do not wish to fork out such big sum to replace.

@redsports, thanks for letting my comments go through. Feel free to edit my comments and hopefully they don’t offend because I got a really sharp style of writing.

Yea agree..basketball is based on teamwork. Teams with 1-2 star players can win but will not shine brighter than teams with fantastic teamwork that aids them to win matches. =) All the best boys for FIBA Asia! Enjoy the process of winning 😉

Basketball is a Team game and not depends on individual star. The Team has to work together and with a selfness attitude, notwithstanding to outshine one’s capability and fame.
