Hooley, Rowley and Co. got knocked out in the second round, but a fine effort to get to the big dance.

Lobos also out, but a big effort by Bairstow who had a big game, well done to Cam and his mate from down under who plays as a point guard, name escapes me sorry...

Quite a few surprises, many close & O/T games, making for an exciting tournament, as always!

Use Foxtel GO, if you have Foxtel and you can watch it on your lap top etc...

Maybe not quite what you are after, but still it's kind of online and needs no hacking etc..!

Tim Morrissey, never short of opportunities to rail against missed opportunities in Sydney basketball, writes today about a meeting between the NBL and Sydney Spirit.

NBL boss Chuck Harmison will hold a crisis meeting with the Spirit this week to address the alarming lack of support for Sydney's only basketball team, which is heading for a $1 million loss.

The Spirit reportedly lost around $800,000 last season when they were called the West Sydney Razorbacks. However, since rebranding themselves following the demise of the Sydney Kings all they've achieved is alienation from the majority of fans from both organisations.

That was highlighted by Friday night's dismal crowd of 1,476 at the Spirit's showcase game against Brian Goorjian's new club, the South Dragons, at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.

Here are my suggestions to try and fix this:

1. Go back in time.
2. (optional) Don't vote against giving the Kings more time to stay in the league (pissing off their fans in the process).
3. Pick a venue and stick with it.
4. Don't change your name to something already used by a WNBL team (a freebie poll on OzHo showed that 'Sydney Razors' was your best bet if you absolutely had to change something).
5. Don't transparently try to appeal to abandoned Kings fans.
6. Don't alienate your few existing fans by trying to pick up the Kings fans as well.
7. Don't get the kid down the road to create your corporate brand.
8. ???
9. Profit!

Now, admittedly, #1 could be a challenge, but CEO Steve Aquaman Aquilina could take the money spent on "appointing a fulltime media manager and contracting a marketing company", and throw it all into time travel research instead.

Here's the full article
