As the play-offs approach this Sharks team continue to struggle to find any consistency and are still to put in what could be called a good performance for 40mins.

This game was a fair reflection of the season so far; pretty good on the defensive end limiting opportunities for the opposition but close to appalling offensively, along with the usual handful of missed lay-ups and poor free throw shooting, the issue this week was a complete inability to take care of the that most precious of objects; the Basketball!

Stockport caused the home team trouble with their half-court press. This should have been fairly simple for the sharks to get around as there was plenty of space to be exploited. When they did get it right the ball would move quickly and result in an open lay-up. This was a rare occurrence however and Sheffield turned the ball over an incredible 39 times, even more worrying is the fact that 22 of these were committed by the two guards, Conor & Renny. The Sharks seemed incapable of making the right decisions and when they did, the execution of the pass would be poor, furthermore there were countless travels and bizarrely, the players stepped over the boundary lines on several occasions despite being on their home court.

On a positive note, George Brownell continued to impress with his all around game. His 29 points went a long way to securing an extremely ugly win.
