Kings still rule in my book!

Well, I guess it had to come sometime...this is the first season since I started working with Sydney Kings that they haven't won a National Championship. Last year was their third in a row--and that was unmatched in NBL history.

This year we were top of the ladder on win/loss record at the end of the season, but we all knew it would be tough to beat the Tigers, especially after the injury loss of our "big" (Rolan Roberts). The Tigers had four players on their team taller than our tallest, but we put up a good fight. Only 16 points difference in all three final games combined. (Last year, in our first win of the series there was almost twice that point spread in the first game alone.)

The Tigers were just better this year. But, there's always "next season". Congratulations to them...and "enjoy" it now boys. It will not last forever.
