Uuumm... this is the game!

I thought this is more of an American way of creating an exciting atmosphere for the audiences and fans but maybe I belong to the old school.

Going by this logic, basketball an American invention so it would only be right no? Laughs.

However, we were pretty annoyed by the announcer who kept talking (interrupting) during the game. For example, when the Breakers were doing the penalty shot, the announcer would encourage the audience to boo the Kiwis. I thought it was pretty unfair and very distracting to the players.

This is basketball, not golf or tennis my friend. No shooshing here... MAKE SOME NOISE!!!

That said it's unfortunate that your first live basketball experience was at the Kings. Sydney is way too pop, with d-list (non)celebs filling Kings games instead of grassroots supporters. This is why although I live in Sydney I cannot support this team and happily get the train down to the 'gong for as many of the Hawks games as I can. Now that's an exciting team to watch.

Time to get a new soundtrack too (for the guy that does it in Adelaide!)

Nah, Adelaide is an awesome basketball city for fans. Steve Carfino and Brett Maher commentary is always great out there. It's a good venue, good atmosphere. Always reminds me of harlem globetrotters out there. Maybe some of the soundtrack you speak of.
