After leading for three quarters, blowing the lead, getting it back and blowing it again by missing 3 out of 4 free throws in the waning seconds, the Dutchmen get consecutive Hutson threes in OT to pull off a big time TV road win over the Blasters. Took every last inch of the CT to get it done.

On a sidenote, the guy had 35 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. Just pure scoring. Would a more well-rounded player be nice? Maybe, but I like having him do nothing but score. My other guards who normally fare pretty well were mostly shut down by Blasters and his starting big men combined for over 40 rebounds. Without my high enthusiasm and CT, I likely would have been smoked tonight.

cogra soulja boy.

another lost for me tonight which is there to grab...looking to get out of the cup sooner or later...
recent improvement of my stadium will allow me to come back strong after the all-star break.

until then, my team will still be on a losing streak possibly!
haha

keep up the good work!

Game 8 recaps (Intra league play)

Tachenko at NP

Tale of two tactics here. Tachenko fed the big boys underneath while NP had Beckman firing away. Anytime you have a player drain 41 you usually expect a victory. This game Beckman became the BB Carmello Anthony. Tons of points but takes an L. The Tachenko big men combined for 77 points and it was too much downlow for the NP bigs.
Tachenko 112 NP 100

Dutchmen at Blasters

Had an OT here baby! Both teams came out firing away. Blasters went into the 4th quarter down but a huge quarter saw them tie it up and force an OT at home. Unfortunatley OT was not as friendly and the Dutchmen came out ready to steal one away. Hutson drained 35 on the Blasters D and helped put away the Blasters in OT. Neither shot real well from the charity stripe but Blasters still looked great on paper. Unfortunately paper is........ well not what brings in the W. Guards too much for the Blasters in this one. Dutchmen 99 Blasters 90

VD's at Philly

One tried low and one drained em from high. VD's came out and put a full team effort into it. Not all the starters were there for Philly and it showed with a lackluster performance. No outstanding stats to speak of here unless you think that 22 for 80 from the field and 0 for 14 from 3 land is significant. Oh yeah it is.................you lose when you have those stats. VD's 94 Phakeouts 49

Champaign at Bobcats

Champaign put some effort into this one and it showed. Grecijonas who has been somewhat invisible thus far drained 26 for Champaign. Bobcats had Bustelo firing against Grecijonas and he had 24 but to no avail. 3 more three pointers for Champaign was the difference in this game. Champaign got back to its winning ways tonight. Champaign 81 Bobcats 72

Phantoms at Investors

The Phantoms defense held the Investors to 22% from the field. I would be more impressed if the Investors had dressed any of their normal starters. It appears most people plan on rolling over for the Phantoms this season. Don't know if anyone can be blamed the Phantoms have a stellar team. Phantoms 115 Investors 53

Flames at Crank dat

According to the stat sheet it stated that both teams played at the same effort level.................huh there was another team playing tonight. Crank dat 128 Flames 53

Terrors at Allstars

You don't get much closer then this finish. Terrors put alot into this one to try and steal one away but Nalesso willed his team to victory netting 28. This was a close one that either team could have pulled out with better foul shooting. Navales struggled a bit tonight and it may have cost his team a W. Allstars 96 Terrors 95

Crazy's at Challengers

The first quarter belonged to the Crazy's and the fourth to the Challengers. Putting in the second and third string in the fourth proved to be a costly mistake for the Crazy's. Up 21 going into the 4th the Crazy's looked to cruise to a W but the Challengers went on a 21 to 5 run which made the starters take off their warm ups again. This game saw great play from Skalec again with his 26 but it was little known Calles that turned heads with 31. Luckily for the Crazy fans Zabalbaru and Barry were both on tonight accounting for 71 of Clevelands points. Crazy's 114 Challengers 102

MVP

Beckman 41 points

Got a give a shout out to Zabalbaru 38 pts in 38 minutes aint shabby

If I ever need a sub for the recaps your it man. lol good win tonight. Hutson is a beast.

FML.....
starting PG Piotr out for 2 weeks....
i wanna stay in DIII!!!!!

Just logged in so I can't be 100% sure but John Barr has only played 13 minutes of 2.5 quarters. I have to think he went and got himself hurt.

Kinda sucks since I went R&G just to see if I could get him out of his slump.


EDIT: Nevermind. The dumbass fouled out and his backup is well on his way to doing so as well. This game is stupid sometimes.

embarrassing...plainly embarrassing
my team isn't doing crap!!

don't know what is there to do to improve my team...
going back to DIV means that i need to sell some of my starters again which I do not want to do for sure.

Give yourself some more time to see whether your rebuild is working or not? Everybody (except Cleveland!) looks bad against the Phantoms.

Game 9 recaps

Prov City at Flames

Only took a squirt gun to put out this flame. Prov City 118 Flames 36

Cats at Phantoms

Disappointing night for the Cats. They put everything into this one and found that it would not be enough. Looking to go inside the Phantom defense held strong. More rebounds, less fouls and better shooting spelled victory for the Phantoms.
Phantoms 79 Cats 59

Phakeouts at Champaign

Phakeouts came out with some serious effort looking to pound the ball down low. Champaign was steady as they used an outside attack. The Phakeouts couldn't buy a 3 pointer but that didn't matter since Chapaign couldn't stop fouling. 23 points from the line was too much for Champaign to overcome. Phakeouts 78 Champaign 64

NP at VD's


3 words in this game................Benson, Benson, Benson. 43 points in 27 minutes. Unstoppable even for a NP team who put some effort into winning this one. NP had Csikos draining 23 but he could not keep his team in the game. Too many offensive rebounds and superior shooting was too much for NP to overcome. VD's 88 NP 64

Blasters at Tachenko

With Tachenko's big men it is no wonder that the game plan is to go down low. Mayagoita came up big again with 32 points but a curious site happened with his rebounds only 7. On paper this one looked to be real close but better shooting and more effort meant a win for Tachenko and company. Tachenko 108 Blasters 88

Challengers at Dutchmen

Both teams looked to come out fast and furious. Gagis and Hutson had 46 points between them but it was not enough to overcome the 38 from Skalec. Slakec added 4 blocks and 12 rebounds and the Dutchmen big men didn't have an answer. Challengers had a great 1st and 4th quarter and it was too much to overcome for the Dutchmen. Challengers 104 Dutchmen 92

Allstars at Crazy's

The Crazy's put 6 players in double digit points with an inside attack. The Allstars fought back shooting from the outside. Putting 5 players in double digit scoring was impressive but allowing the Crazy's to outrebound the Allstars by 33 proved that the Crazy's put more into it and it paid off. Crazy's 101 Allstars 75

Crank Dat at Terrors

Crank Dat's streak came to an end at the hand of the Terrors. Both teams came out firing and played an outside defense.This one simply came down to a home court and more effort. Not anything outstanding to report here but the bottom line is Terrors shot a whole lot better. Terrors 108 Crank Dat 80

MVP Benson 43 points

Thanks for the props but Phantoms were playing for the cup and neither of us had our normal starters. Our game was the exception not the norm. With that being said Phantoms are a formidable team not as much for their offense but for their defense. Look at the stats. Bobcats.............stick it out, stick with it the season is still young.
