The Wildcats Bite the Bullet(s)

We went to see some ozi basket ball for the first time last Friday. What we saw was a mixture of the pageantry of WWF, the commentary of Boxing and the entertainment of the Ekka!

One of the neatest things about the game was that (hip hop) music was played all through out! :) The commentary was funny and deriding at times. Between each quarter there was a slew of entertainment from youth dance groups. Fans also got a chance to sink a ball to win prizes such as plane tickets etc.

The game itself was kind of a let down. The Brisbane Bullets were the supposed "favourites", yet they were quite sloppy and lost the match to the Perth Wildcats 95-105. I guess I've been spoiled by watching NBA playoffs (on TV) and movies like White Men Can't Jump and Tv Series such as One Tree Hill. I guess I was expecting a lot from a professional team. Maybe too much.

That said it was a very entertaining night which was reasonably priced at around $30. (or less if you have Entertainment book vouchers or if your kids use the ABC Learning Centres) A guaranteed fun night out! :)
