Tonights lessons:

Pay attention.

Balance.

Guards set up high.

Pass to the forward not the other guard.

Forwards work hard to get free.

Here's one: call the play before you hit the half way line to avoid confusion.

Don't ever play coach one on one. I rule.

Also, do you think us fouling on open layups when we not even keeping score in training has anything to do with our ridiculous foul count in games? Hmmmmmmm.

La mina's

Best lunchtime chicken in the city?




True story. It was May last year when me & Payne saw water down mina's. I pointed him out and told the cockney that dude can flat out ball.

B hooked it up.

Less than a year later I'm getting late night abuse.

Good times.

Current schedule:

Capitals @ pentwyn 4.30 April 11th

Warriors @ star 8.30 may 2nd

Crickhowell tbc

To come outright second we need three w's

To tie second with capitals and go to point difference we need to beat either crickhowell or warriors and beat capitals

If we lose more than one game we will end up third in a playoff against a team in div 2 west

Come end of season, as I am aware the following will occur.

E1 v W2 Winner V Winner for 1st, 2nd
E2 v W1 Loser V Loser for 3rd, 4th

E3 v W4 As above
E4 v W3

E5 v W6
E6 v W5

This will give final D2 positions combined from 1st down to 13th. 1st gets playoff vs bottom of D1 for promotion.

If we come second at present we would play warriors second (nas & carl dolecki).

At present standings if we came third we would play Swansea deuce (which Timmy JR and Lloydy hotpants would love) or beddau (which wes diesel and scotty 2 hotty would love).

Enjoy yr weekend x

Made a massive contribution on both ends of the floor culminating in 13 points in 6 minutes in his last game of Kings Basketball 2009 2010 campaign. I know you will be the loudest cheerleader for the rest of the year.

If we want to win the next game on April 11th:

We MUST run the offense.
We MUST rebound better.
5 Steals in one game?

I can't even talk about the refs. Makes me feel travel sick.

Warriors game CANCELLED.

As far as I know Crickhowell CANCELLED.

Keep your eyes peeled. Pay your subs. Learn the offense. Want to win more.

Get well soon Ray Ray.

Coach Phil

Ok ladies. Let's chop it up.

We have our winning season. We have our third place finish. That stuff is in the bag. And that's something to be proud of. But we could achieve something bigger.

We have the opportunity to finish first. To do this we need to:
Beat the capitals twice
Beat crickhowell away
Beat warriors away.

Do you believe we can do that?

I do.

To make the playoffs we need to:
Win three of our last four games.

Do you believe we can do that? Damn skippy.

That warriors team that we are playing... Finished second in div 1 last year. Without tony. Without patrick. Without Perrie. Are they fourteen points better than us? Fuck no.

But one thing at a time.

This thing tomorrow is personal.

They have asked for promotion ahead of us.

They have pronounced themselves and the warriors the two best teams in div 2.

They consider tomorrow a foregone W for themselves.

Here is the bottom line, we are stronger & deeper at EVERY position.

Ask yourself.

You want to lose to a team where chris smith is the starting centre?

You want to lose to a team whose million dollar power forward can't even dribble a basketball?

You want to have joe or john reminding you of an L when you see them in town?

Start focussing now.

We will not lose this game.

We will work hard.

We will get the result we deserve.

W.

Kings Basketball family 8-1.

KB blog. Keeping you in the loop since 2009. ;)


Gavin,

Hi, its westley. As the chaiman of Kings Basketball I wanted to send you this email.

On monday night we have Cardiff Capitals in a league game @ Duffryn. This will be the first meeting between our teams with the second match following on in about two weeks time.

I had a phone conversation with Mike Thomas yesterday after I text him asking if he could confirm the refs for this game. At this point in time he said he had one ref available and as it stood he was more than likely going to be the second ref. Immedately I brought it to his attention that we the Kings were/are not happy with this decision as Mike is involved and registered with the Capitals this season. He said he was no longer playing for them and has not done so in a couple of months. Still, this in my eyes is simply not good enough. The two games coming up are going to define ours (kings) and the (Capitals) season.

In our division the Warriors will finish 1st and then the 2nd place playoff spot will either be us or the Capitals. As you can appreciate our games against the Capitals are really important and season defining without a doubt.

Without being complicated about it all, I will say we Kings will not be willing to play this game if Mike is named as a ref for it. Nothing personal against mike which I explained to him during our conversation but we feel there is a conflict of interest with him being a ref.

So I was hoping you may intervene here as I got the feeling mike was going to nominate himself. Can you address the situation as I would need to notify the hall we play out of whether there is a game or not?

Thank You Gavin

Regards


Westley George
Chairman Kings Basketball.

Lulz ensued

Onto the "incident" as discussed on SBW

Warriors turned up to play Crickhowell and were 30 minutes late. Crick were fine with this. Kevin Davies was not. He sent home the other referee. Then tried to cancel the game.

Chris Harpers response was along the lines of "c'mon Kevin we are here, they are happy to play whats the problem - in fact whats your problem been for the last seven or eight years."

A heated discussion ensued followed by Chris asking Kevin to come outside. When Kevin refused Chris offered to remove his head inside. Kevin declined. Deserve a 4 game suspension? After Kevin called our scorekeeper a "little prick". Not sure. Thats welsh basketball for you people. Where a registered blind referee can ref his own team. ;)

On to the next one.

Kings 84 Raiders 59

7-1

By quarter

Kings 18 19 22 25
Raiders 12 9 22 15

Stat line

Ryan Ford 11 pts 4 rebs 2 steals
Scott Lloyd 12 pts 2 assts 6 rebs 4 steals
Lloyd Davies 6 pts 9 assts 4 steals 4 rebs
Mitchell Reynolds 10 pts 8 rebs (7 offensive) 2 steals
Wes George 5 pts 6 rebs
Fung Chiu 3 pts 9 rebs 1 steal
Omar Zwawi 11 pts 5 assts 5 rebs 3 steals
Timmy Cowan 4 pts 3 rebs 1 steal 1 fucked up eye
Mikey Water Hollifield 11 pts 1 assts 5 rebs 2 steals
Aaron Freeman 10 pts 4 assts 2 rebs 4 steals

Man of the match - Lloyd Davies
Top Scorer - Scott Lloyd

So many highlights, how about....

**Timmy fucking his eye up
**The kebab dude having one locked and loaded for Wes - then getting ejected - see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
**Ryan's half time antics - offensive board and cheeky lay up with one tick left
**Ryan breaking his scoring record

But was that not the worst set of rims we ever played on? Omar left 10 points on the floor. Water left 10 points on the floor. etc etc. But we still have raised our ppg considerably. We are now 7-1 with a very good shot at making playoffs. As long as we stay sharp and want it.

Have to give props for Timmy getting mollywhopped when he was on his hustle. Mitchell's offensive rebounding. Ryan's scoring. Scotty checking his feet before he pulls the trigger on that trey. SICK. Freeman giving us 10, 4 & 4 proving me right sticking him back at the Point. Appreciated Ray Ray. OZ#4 live for playing with a fucked up thumb. Cos ya know on a different set of rims you would have had 15 in the first quarter.

Things that really make my dick hard:

6 players scoring double figures
22 collective steals
23 collective assists

Things that make my cock floppy:

Baseline 3 pointers
0 blocks

the 1-3-1 looked ok though right? I'm sure if we had played the full court man we would have broken 100. But we have bigger fish to fry.


Crickhowell next up and B's second game wearing the skull and crown. Lets keep up our momentum and go 8-1. Send out a message.

In other news I would like to announce the new Kings Basketball Structure

Lloydy becomes financial director
Wes becomes Chairman as well as Captain

I'm sure you would all agree G Wagon has done an awful lot for the club and respect given by the truckload where it is due. We definately have appreciated your time and effort in making our dreams become a reality. We all wish you well with the imminent birth of your second little Wagon.. And you will always be a King, so I'm sure your path will cross with the club real soon.

You know you're a British baller when...

1. You know to turn off the audio when watching basketball with British commentators
2. You got cut because you're not the coaches son
3. You're on the bench because your coach is in the starting 5
4. You haven't practiced in a week because it has been raining and you've got no access to a gym
5. The first thing people ask you when you say you're a baller is 'can you do a slam dunk ?'
6. The sneaker you (and the rest of your teammates) rock depends on Footlocker's latest delivery
7. You gotta pay to play
8. You look into the stands during a game and see 4 people watching
9. You can't see the court markings because of the 20 zillions other markings on the floor
10. At least one member of your team doesn't have a matching kit
11. You have no idea who won in the BBL last night (and you don't really care)
12. The last time you saw basketball in the national press was...well, never.
13. You know that on an outdoor Adidas rim if you don't dunk it or swish it, it aint going in
14. The only words you know in Ghanaian are Nana Papa Yaw Dwene Mensah Bonsu
15. All you wanna do is play ball in the States
16. The only thing you know Beverly Turner for is ruining your only decent basketball fix on TV (NBA 2001)
17. You think the best thing about Brighton is the beach court
18. You are falling asleep at school/college/uni/work from staying up until 5am watching the NBA
19. The refs in your games seem to be more preoccupied with making sure your shirt is tucked in as opposed to you actually committing a foul
20. You're friends with Glenn Hardaker on Facebook
21. You remember the Haribo advert with the kid dunking off Martin Henlan's back
22. You have no chance of being any number other than 1-12
23. You have at least one member of your team that looks like they have never picked up a basketball before
24. The second thing people always say to you when you say you're a baller (after #5)- "I used to play at school and was really good", you instantly know they were wank.
25. You have to wait for badminton to finish before you can get on the court
26. Your starting centre is 6'3
27. You have at least one player on your team who has as many accessories (sweat bands, headbands, arm sleeves, goggles etc) as humanely possible
28. You secretly want to punch someone in the face when they call it a ' basketball match'..it's a FUCKING GAME DAMMIT!
29. Same goes for calling a court a 'pitch', a basket a 'goal' and stealing the ball 'tackling'
30. Every few weeks it's your turn to wash the kit
31. You're on the break and someone shouts 'MAN ON!'
32. Someone asks to bounce your ball and they proceed to lift their leg up to bounce it through their legs
33. People ask if you if you play in attack or defence
34. In the first half your shooting at a basket which is a good half a foot lower than the one at the opposite end
35. The further North you get the less black people there are on the opposing team
36. The court's boundaries are walls
37. You roll your ankle mid game and the best treatment you get is to lie on the hard floor with your foot raised on the wooden bench
38. The only 'court' you have access to is actually just one ring and a backboard, above a football goal...and over grass.
39. The round the back, through the legs lay-up is a staple component to every warm up
40. You're admiring someone's fresh kicks...only to see a fresh pair of white Umbro socks sticking out the top
41. You can't shoot a baseline three pointer because there's not enough space for your feet between the three point line and out of bounds
42. You go to an event and the dunk contest is cancelled because..no-one can dunk.
43. You can't shoot a shot outside of the key because you'll hit a beam
44. You wonder why one of your teammates speaks with an American accent despite never having visited the States. If you don't, then it's probably you so stop it.
45. All you cared about was waiting for the next streetball.co.uk video
46. You consider it a lot when a team has practice more than once a week
47. For away games you have to sort out who's driving/taking their car
48. The scoreboard is a white board and a marker pen
49. Practice/games are all shut down during exam period
50. You get paid expenses to play in the top league in the country (and that's it)
51. Your friends ask "but isn't it a non-contact sport?"
52. Followed by 'are you tall enough to play basketball?'
53. No matter what court you play on, no matter where it is in the country, it's as slippery/dusty as hell.
54. On every fastbreak two of your team hang back as they don't want to be offside
55. The highlight of your summer is Midnight Madness
56. You have played with a free Sunny Delight ball
57. There's always a couple of Chinese or Filipino guys at your local court that only play between themselves
58. You have constant arguments with footballers who think basketball is for pussies
59. At least a dozen of your friends have already joined this group (and you're going to forward it on to at least another dozen)
60. When there's a leisure centre worker/ school caretaker rushing you to finish your training session
61. You have to share changing rooms with the opposition
62. You didn't know there was a guy actually called Shamgod, you just thought Stuart tanner made up that move
63. People think you're going to the NBA because you play for someone other than your school
64. At least one member of the crowd ends up doing the table
65. If you're going to watch a game, you make sure you turn up just after tip-off to ensure it's not you (see #64)
66. You miss a shot and someone says 'unlucky mate'
67. You wonder if Andre Alleyne's eyes will ever actually pop out of his head
68. You are shooting and one of the scrubs doesn't give you your 'change' when you score
69. You have a unique knowledge of American cities and states and you know exactly which ones are east coast and which ones are west coast. This always amazes even the smartest of your friends.
70. You know at least 3 people with an Air Jordan tattoo
71. You spend an hour on Facebook reading the comments on the wall of this group and make yourself late for your workout
