BBL championship finals... and an odd pic...

Ok... this pic is for something else and is not related to the post at all... Ignore the picture!















So i was at the basketball final last night. It was a really cool game! And cos i went by myself, i was able to get a really cool seat... Literally 3 rows back. i was sitting about 3 yeards behind where the Newcastle Eagles were sitting!


This pic was taken from my seat... I wasn't using zoom or anything! look how close i am to the court! Woohoo!

And the match was pretty, well, shoddy in the first half. We were 12-19 down at the end of the 1st quater, and 28-40 down at the end of the first half. Now if my brother was with me it would have been a battle to get him to cheer up and believe that we could still win it.

But in the second half we managed to get our fingers out and actually began to play defensively. It's something that even players have noted; if we don't play defensively we don't play well. So at the end of the 3rd quater we went from being 12 points down to 3 points ahead at 53-50. During the 3rd quater we were only ever 3 points ahead, and until about 3 minutes from the end we were only ever 5 points ahead, but then the last 3 minutes are always the best. And we went from having a 5 point lead to a 12 point win, at 83-68!

Sky sports were filming the match, and my dad was watching it at home. So when i texted him telling him the score he said he was watching it, nd asked if i had gone or if i was watching it. So i told him i went, and he told me that i had just appeared on the TV! OK, so it was only for 3 seconds, but so what?! I got onto the TV!

Before the game started, there was a call for the Scottish Rocks' (the opposition) bus driver to go back to their bus! Had to call for him twice. How embarrassing is that?! Can the driver of one of the best basketball teams in the country return to the bus!

I say one of the best cos they aint the best. We have a clean sweep of the trophies this season. BBL league, BBL cup, BBL trophey, and now BBL championship! About bloody time Newcastle had a decent team in SOME sport!
