Brian:
I'm Brian Sanborn, and this is the Warriors Pregame Show here at 98.5. I'm here with legendary Warriors, Bret Rodrigues and Douglas Diamond along with my Hunt Palmer and fellow Sanborn Charles, here in The Canyon where the Warriors will be taking on the Southpaw Army in their final matchup of the regular season. So first question what is it either of you expect from this game?

Everyone else in unison:
Nothing!

Douglas:
I mean everything from this point is set in stone. This game doesn't really matter. The game after Veteran's Day is what matters.

Bret:
Yeah, when Coach said the hope was to get to 12 wins, the unspoken sentence after was that also it's likely the 209 will not have nine wins and fortunately they don't. So unless some kind of divine intervention occurs its a foregone conclusion these two teams are meeting in first round of the playoffs. I mean the 209 ran out of runway. Philly and Linndale are too far behind.

Brian:
So what do you think both coaches are going to go for tonight?

Hunt:
I mean the Southpaws are going to continue to terrorize the othoer members of the Big 8. They're going to want to decimate the Warriors but they've been doing that and with very little effort. It's no different than what we saw with the White Walkers a couple of seasons ago in the Great 8. The Soutpaws are going to wreck and pillage because who can stop them.

Charles:
I got to agree with Hunt. The Southpaw tonight are going to basically be "Hello I hate you. Now die and let me feast on your carcass" but I don't see them doing anything different than what they've been doing all season. Both teams are treating this game as a formality, its a chore to get through on their way to the final showdown in the playoffs.

Brian:
So we shouldn't expect any kind of tricks or any sort from either coach?

Bret:
I mean nothing should surprise you if it happens in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if Coach went with a lineup of Tercero, Vrana, East, Bermundez and Manley any more than Coach seeing what happens with Granger at the point. Mainly because why not, game doesn't matter other getting intel thus don't be surprised if both teams do the most unlikely things to off set that. Other than who is hosting between the Lion Rebels and the Internet Love I don't seeing anything really changing in the Big 8 playoff picture.

Brian:
When we come back we'll talk about the Big 8 playoffs and the future of the Big 8 next season. This is the Warrior's Pregame Show.

Happy Ourer: “Well, it was a hard fought battle, but in the end Linndale wasn’t able to pull it out, falling to 209’s MostWanted 120 to 116. Coach Pio Reina joins us live. Coach, tough loss tonight.”

Pio Reina: “It was a very tough loss. The team battled. We went back to a Linndale staple of the last few seasons, the motion offense. The results were not what we would have liked, but the effort was. The turnovers were kept in control, and that’s a feather in the cap of Air Allnite. I didn’t like the way the whistles went against us, and I hate the fact that we lost the rebounding battle, but we took steps today. We don’t think we’re that far off.”

HO: “Coach, was there any clarity gained at point guard tonight?”

PR: “Farley had a nice game tonight. Cerri was incredible in his minutes. I don’t know that we have any clarity quite yet, but we’re getting there. I’d say Cerri still is the frontrunner, but Farley made sure this was still a competition.”

HO: “How about at small forward? What did Hatfield and Reynolds do to clarify that position?”

PR: “Reynolds had his best game of the season. We want him to build on that. Hatfield got some needed experience at small forward. He didn’t do badly, he’ll get better. Even if the experiment doesn’t work, it will help him long term. That, in turn, will help the team. Clarity is still a ways off, though.”

HO: “The bench tonight was very productive.”

PR: “Well, with a shortened roster, guys have to show up and get to work. Tonight, they did. We have a few things to look at, so the grouping off the bench will be fluid. Bench production is a thing we’ve been trying to locate for some time, but the Cerri-Reynolds-Pemweiser trio looked solid tonight. Petriukstis was solid with that group, but we need a bit more from him.”

HO: “Even with a short roster, Rich McCain didn’t make it into the game. Where does he stand?”

PR: “Rich has a long way to go. He knows it; we’ve talked about it. He knows where he stands; we’ll see what happens with his development.”

HO: “Thanks, Coach. That was Pio Reina after a tough 120-116 loss at home to 209’s MostWanted. We’ll be back with more after the break.”

Don’t like the double OT game and effing up both our GS!

Yeah, especially as I wasn't expecting to be competitive! At least it was an entertaining one, I guess?

Tough loss last night, man. I caught the end when you were still within four. Good run though!

Thanks. Me and that team were the best teams left and based on ratings I'm a little surprised I lost.

Brutal week overall... we went double OT so the minutes were already messed up, I lose that game, then I got busy and didn't set my scrimmage lineup so minutes got REALLY messed up.

Hell of a way to go into the postseason. Sheesh.

You're still winning out because you dominate a division 3 league and will auto promotion. Money strategy was brilliant but probably should have switched up the looks to see what you're capable of since they changed the game engine. I'm guessing but your team has high defense and passing with mild shooting(16+being the lowest possible)with that SF as a glue guy capable of running all positions. Hell 5 players in the A, A+ category is wild and you did it all season(salaries rank from 100k to 58k. Yes, I'm assuming McNair is top tier as he was the highest salary guard for U-21 last year and only got bested by a center overall.) You literally played two ways all season and bust everybody's asses.

Haha. Thanks for the encouragement. That post wasn’t a woe is me… just a tough week in the grand scheme of a successful season. 😀
