Someone please seriously explain to me why there is an occupy Adelaide movement? I dont really know enough to judge it.. But I am. Seems like we’re a couple of weeks behind the punch (like normal), and they’re holding it on the day of the Christmas pageant, which is just going to make it harder for hundreds of parents to take their kids on a nice day out.

UPDATE: the ladies of The View - well half of them - say they will be playing “bad basketball” on their show until the lockout is over. Bad basketball? Do you know what this means? JR Smith could get his own show!
The real reason you want a 4S, the camera is un-freaking-belivably good.

What’s making me smile tonight.
Yum. Yum.
Full of win.
Exactly the type of thing I was *trying* to convey here…just more eloquent.
Nice work -
Basketball in Australia is back! At least that’s what the headlines should be reading in the paper today. Unfortunately the back page will undoubtedly see Harry Kewell awaiting his Victory debut. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited that the A-League has generated this kind of excitement considering soccer hasn’t fared too well on our shores in previous decades competing with the AFL and NRL. Still basketball is just about ready to explode like the A-League did a few years ago.
The planets have aligned somewhat for Basketball Australia in the last year, after their rebirth season last season. The coverage ONE gave initially to NBA was something many Australian basketball fans had craved for years, free-to-air ball, and now ONE is showing the NBL too. Couple this with the last NBA season being one of the best in a long time and all of a sudden basketball in our country can get a bit a ride on their curtails; much like it did in the 90’s with the Jordan era. Then with the NBA lockout this season and players like Patty Mills joining Melbourne, all is in readiness for basketball to rise this season in Australia.
Firstly, it’s late. So that usually means I’m pretty verbose and ranty.
So…apologies for that.
Given I was lamenting the amount of NBL basketball on TV only yesterday, I switch on the Idiot Panel tonight (I guess you can’t really call it an “Idiot Box” anymore, can you?) to find a delayed telecast of the Adelaide 36ers’ season opener against the Perth Wildcats.
(Don’t get me started on delayed telecasts, by the way. I understand that when I’m in Adelaide, there’s no way I’m going to see a game in Adelaide live on TV, but last night the broadcast of Sydney vs Melbourne was also delayed. Why? Who knows…but I digress.)
As an aside, that’s one helluva crowd!
MORRISON WATCH 2012
As reported last month, two-time NBA Champion Adam Morrison has signed with Serbia’s Red Star Belgrade.
It’s been lull since the announcement but we can only assume Adam has made a playlist of nothing but Pantera and Rage Against The Machine songs on his iPod and has been vigorously training for the Euro league.
And then this happened.
In a friendly—or should I say not so friendly amirite? amirite?—game, Adam Morrison gets ejected after getting in a bit of a scuffle with Bayern Munich’s Bogdan Radosavljevic. Adam scored 17 points and got 6 rebounds but more importantly, showed Bayern Munich and all of the Euro league the almighty wrath of a former college superstar and twice over NBA champion who looks like a member of Dethklok from the TV show Metalocalypse.
The lockout continues.

What’s making me smile today.
One of my favourite songs, covered by one of my favourite bands.
Full. Of. Win.
There is no doubt, I am a lover of sport.
In fact, (perhaps stupidly) I almost make it my business to take an interest in any and every sport I can possibly lay eyes on, with very few exceptions. I love the thrill of the unique passion it generated and the strategy of competition. There are very few pursuits in life that can provide the regular endorphin lift that delving into a sports culture can.
As I only have access to free-to-air television, this weekend marks the start of that awkward period in the year of an Australian sports-lover when the football season has finished, and regular sport finishes. (Dear A-League and NBL fans, it’s not you…it’s me – I love them both, but don’t seem to get the chance to watch as much as I’d like.)
Rather than descending into the Slough of Despond on such an occasion, I’ve resolved this year to take a step back and reflect, and spend some time stepped back from the madness that is Australian sports culture.
Time to breathe, and reflect on balance of my life, the people in it and the things that are truly important.
This, of course, is until Sunday morning.
After all, you make time for the one you love…right?
