Premier League Pre Season

Tigers will go back to back easily.

BSA, can the other 9 teams please play for a separate shield?

That being so - has any team stood out in the pre season? What have some of the results been?

Has anyone seen the West Imports - They apparently are good.

And Green 54 I would hope the Centrals imports can play

I wouldn't read too much into pre-season games.

It's a good time for clever coaches to give fringe players a chance to prove themselves. The starting 5 and key bench players are there for looks, but it the ones battling for the final few positions on the bench that play good minutes to impress.

Green - you mean they have an import who can score & another import who can block shots? Or they have one who can do both?

Centrals will be decent but just have some chemistry issues currently. Both imports can play and the inclusion of Hoffman and Larkins will help.

Mavs can only get better and they look like they have a good import who can score and block shots. Overall depth will be the biggest issue as they are very "skinny" beyond the starters.

How did the "new improved" Centrals team go?

And has anyone seen the Mavs import?

I am waiting for this league, i really like this.

The Roundball Tournament kicks off today in the Riverland (Waikerie), with the new improved Centrals with their new imports v Eastern Mavs who also have their new 6'9 import. SA Metro v SA Country and Southern Tigers taking on the Keilor Thunder from the big V.
Games all day and tomorrow, only 1.45hr from the Adelaide CBD. Get along to some fantastic hoops action in the fabulous Riverland.

I see the SEABL teams in Millicent smacked around the PL teams. Is that unusual?were either Woodville or Forestville at full strength?

Was anyone there who could comment on the new imports for either side?

Surely something has to have happened since then?

Kobe Bryant became the first athlete to have his hands and feet imprinted at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Saturday.

ESPN: http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=6140335

From the article:

"It's fitting that Kobe Bryant would have a place in Grauman's Chinese Theatre because although he's not an actor nor does he have any experience in theatrical arts he is -- wait, why is this fitting?" Kimmel said. "I'm not sure exactly. The closest Kobe has ever come to acting is pretending he's going to pass to Luke Walton."

Before introducing Bryant, Kimmel had a theory for why Bryant has never acted.

"I think this is where Kobe saw the movie 'Kazaam' and decided basketball players should never act; they should just play basketball," Kimmel said. "It is remarkable to be alongside so many legendary actors, especially considering his biggest acting credit was a role on 'Moesha.' It gives you an idea of what an impact this man has made. This is the highest honor you could bestow on an athlete short of winning a Kardashian's hand in marriage."
