36ers Game Presentation (or lack thereof!)

Haven't been to a game for a while but what was with the game presentation on Sat night? It was woeful! What's the deal with those Coke bottles? I was a bit embarassed actually looking at it, especially with the almost soft porn show with the dancers and the aforementioned Coke bottles as the opening act. Was I the only one cringing?

You may not have been, but what are we supposed to do as fans??? sit there patiently waiting for the game to start, hands under our knee's discussing the plight of the spanish dung beetle with the person seated next to us? People go to the basketball for entertainment on a myriad of levels. Soft Porn would be a little generous... The girls have been doing similar routines for a long time know and i think have some of the most creative routines in the league.

Put down your cup of tea, take the silver spoon out of your mouth and perhaps next time post some suggestions on how you think home match entertainment could be improved...

PS: the Spanish Dung Beetle is doing fine after a recent drop in numbers to almost critical levels.

its called marketting and it is very helpful to the club. At least the half time entertainment incorporated the coke bottles better. dont lose any sleep over it.

Where to start? Get rid of the ballet and add some high energy dance that is good to watch, not the crap that I saw. Stop the commercials during each time out and replace with decent stadium music. See ESPN Stadium Anthems for some ideas. Bring back the half way shot, but let's not have Mark Davis do it. What actually did happen with that on Saturday. That was maybe even more embarassing than the pre-game farce. Bring back the mini-ball at half time with the best Under 12's and Under 14's in the state. People love that stuff. Throw socks and T-shirts into the crowd, people love free stuff!

Should I go on? I could for at least another hour.

I have seen NBA, NCAA, NBL in every State and Euro ball and never seen such a poorly presented game.

Get rid of a compeition that is going to have people taking a half court shot to win a car, but bring back 11 year olds playing 7 minutes of basketball?

I cant see how that would be more entertaining that seeing someone winning a car myself.

But they really dont want to give this car away... have you read the thousands of rules?
Cant shoot underarm,Cant shoot backwards,Your feet cant leave the ground. I sure haven't got my hopes on winning it.

You are kidding me? Feet can't leave the ground? So you can't take a jumpshot?

Good luck!

Did you have to make a half-court shot to shoot for the car? Or did Mark Davis have to make a shot? Or were you just drawn out of the crowd?

Best half time entertainment was when a certain coaches father did his knee while attempting the half court shot.

It was a while ago, but it was the talk for a while.

Seriously though, what about some variety. Break out the wheelies, or the Ivor Burge teams. Give them a thrill as well.

Just to clarify - I don't think that anyone injuring themselves that badly is entertainment. It was just interesting to know who it was! How's he doing Marc?

Marc wouldn't know because he was to busy hiding in the stands when his Dad went down.

i was one of the people picked from the crowd at the last game, if Mark picks you your into the comp. I was thinking my best chance would be to throw it backwards but my uncle was reading the form and it said you cant. Then we read bout the feet not leaving the ground, its gonna be bloody hopeless. And you only have one shot to do it.

I have email the club a number of times about the entertainment at half time.
I think they could promote local talen more, and not just basketball either. Get some of the breakdance/ dance/gymnastic clubs to come in and use it as a promo for them, there are millions of options you just need to think about it a bit, they would probably do it for free.
Let them have 7 minutes to promote their clubs/organisations/skills.

I agree with "igotmadskills". I understand the lame entertainment is to satisfy the sponsor(s), but local talent would be great! It would cost the club nothing, except a few seats at the game, and I for one would be interested in seeing something different, that has been home grown in SA. Like "igotmadskills" said ... there are millions of options.
