karandak Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Dont suppose anyone went to Birmingham today to watch Sharks in the Play Off semis?! Was a good day overall, we played good, if not a bit sloppy at times, got through to the final after beating London Towers 94 - 88. Hopefully we might get our hands on our second trophy this season, and the one thats eluded us for 10 years!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickszz Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sorry, I've only been to one sharks game and that was years ago and I found the atmosphere lacklustre. I guess I expected/wanted something as good as the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karandak Posted May 6, 2004 Author Share Posted May 6, 2004 Sometimes the games do lack atmosphere, not enough promotion to get new fans in at times....but i think its mainly due to the difference in quality between the teams in the league, there's a big gap from the top to the bottom (like Sharks/Brighton Bears who are at the top to Birmingham Bullets and Leicester Riders who are at the bottom, and very close to folding:(), so the odd game can be such a one sided event and a bit boring! That doesnt create a good game of basketball! Generally though, the games are entertaining, i couldnt stop going now if i tried, im addicted! The good games outweigh the odd bad ones! The whole BBL setup is a loooooooong way off NBA standards, lots more funding, better venues, better promotion/exposure is needed to even get close! I would love to see the sport grow more over here and be even a quarter as popular as the NBA, but there needs to be some major changes before that could happen!
