Recaps 02/20 by Brian

Thursday 28th of August 2008

Hey everyone it was another exciting night as all games ended too close for comfort. Some stats may not be as accurate as we like since the numbers on the back of the shirts are black and the shirts are dark. What can we say, we will get this numbers thing right next year. At least they are staying on or we will see after you wash them.

Game 1
Gray 32 vs Green 26
This game will start similarly to last week's recap of the 1st game. Bad shooting 0-9 on one captain and one more captain injured so 4 more to go. The bad news is... its the same captain. Colman we are praying for a safe comeback. PG and E held it together mostly to the hustle of Matt Hedges aka Mr Boston(VH1's I love New York - its not actually him but they can make a case for being related.) Boston made some key steals and grabbed some important rebounds. Baller Neil didnt score as much this game but still provided some good rebounding especially on the offensive end.

The Long Lean Green Team lacked some offensive output as it seems like everyone was not willing to shoot as the opposing team launched 8 more shots and got to the line more often. JC continued to be a monster on the boards with 9 rebs. John Kwok entering the game may have disturbed the teams chemistry as they are not used to a shot blocker who goes after people who are shorter than 5'7".

We also enjoyed the time out in the second half because the Gray team only had 4 players on the court since someone forgot to go in.

Game 2
Team Red 47 Team Blue 46
Time outs, fouls to give, turnovers, lay up vs 3 pointer, so many possible executions errors at the end but the bottom line was the Red team won and the Blue team is stronger and more cohesive than before.

We also would like to note that ... we stopped Jon Yee's block per game streak at ONE. Prediction: Brian will be the next injured captain.

Game 3
Black 35 vs White 33
Without their captain Jeff, Team White looked lost at times but Adam Moscosco filled in the stats and came up with some timely threes. Darryl Greene had his Britney Spears haircut this week and may have lost some of his powers as he couldn't get his offensive game going. He still contributed 13 boards but that wasn't enough to stop Paolo from attempting a basket at the wrong end of the court.

Team Black was capitalizing on multiple offensive boards especially by Anthony Pineda who single handedly won the game at the end by grabbing a offensive board and putting it back up for an AND ONE!!! He also handed in 16 points. In spite of the win, Oz continues to look like the M-B-P of the league. Most Blockable Player

The Refs did an amazing job of seeing everything as usual and no foul calls were missed but many calls were challenged... just like a typical NBA game. More importantly, it was good to see the refs practicing their half court shots as they need to improve on that skill since they have perfected the art of the referee. One referee, whom I will not name to protect his reputation as a Pastor, accused me of talking trash when I was only encouraging my opponent to try and stop me.

Stay tuned for next weeks games and recaps and remember... you are in B's house!!!!
