Slingers just now lost yet another Grand Final Series - this time at home up by double digits in the deciding Game 5.

They have a reputation of being choke artists - it's their third runner-up finish in the last four seasons. Yet again denying the former Cannons/Pirates licence an Asian title! :p

I saw a Slingers match a couple of years ago and the standard wasn't as high as NBL, but it was still very entertaining. Kyle Jeffers was their import and played well, but played within himself.

The atmosphere was pretty good and against the Brunei Barracudas they were always going to win. Singapore is always going to have a lot of ex-pats who are looking for entertainment like basketball.

Their season (Jan - May) is a bit out of whack with our ABL (Apr-Aug), but I think a game between Singapore and our CABL Premiers would be a very interesting match.

I went to a Slingers game in Singapore in Jan v Thai Chang Slammers coached by Joe Bryant.The stadium was very empty and the standard of basketball very far behind then NBL. Ther worst team in NBL would beat either of these teams by 40 points plus. in that regard cant see it happening.

No former NBL players. Haven't been for some time. However former Newcastle Falcons legend Michael Johnson is the assistant coach.

As for them re-entering the NBL. Won't happen. But when the Crocs tried to hand back their license, there was talks about the NBL joining the ABL (ASEAN Basketball League). Which from my understanding is still an option depending on what happens with Townsville.
