Game 10 recaps

Crazy's at Crank Dat

The good news for the Crazys is that the 8th Wonde of the World Junde only had 7 points in the 2nd half. The bad news is he only played the 3rd quarter and oh he still had 35 points. That's right 28 points in the first half did enough damage to sink the Crazy's boat early on. The Crazy's kept Barry and Marmolejo home to stay fresh for the Cup game and the rest of the team looked relaxed but bottom line is even with Barry and Marmolejo they would have struggled to keep the Crazy's in this one. Crank Dat 107 Crazy's 85

Terrors at Prov City

Prov City came out hot in the 2nd half which helped increase a lead that became unsurmountable for the Terrors. Both teams are still competing in the Cup and may be resting some starters but Prov City controlled this one early. Alot of guys were double digit scorers but a huge rebounding lead and much better shooting sunk the Terrors. Prov City 110 Terrors 81

Flames at Bobcats

Anyone noticing a trend with the Flames. They may have to rename at the end of this season. Bobcats 106 Flames 39


Phantoms at Phakeouts

Anytime your high scorer drains 8 it is time to rethink things. Phakeouts get rocked at home. Phantoms 116 Phakeouts 30

Champaign at NP

Both teams came out looking to fire away and that they did. Unfortunately for Champaign the 3 ball rarely landed and they didn't defend the NP guards from beyond the arc. NP outrebounded Champaign badly which didn't help with the catch up efforts any. Better shooting and more rebounds put NP up early and it stayed that way. NP 112 Champaign 83

VD's at Blasters

VD's came up with a big win tonight. Anytime you play the Blasters you need to bring your best and Ken Wilson did just that tonight. 36 points by Wilson helped blast the Blasters right off the court. Anytime you shoot 50% from 3 pt land teams better sit up and notice and figure out how they will guard him. Well guys better start thinking. Wilson outshot the guards from the Blasters and that sealed the deal. VD's 85 Blasters 70

Tachenko at Challengers

This one was a close one..............until the 4th quarter. Mayagoita was a beast again draining 27 pts and grabbing 16 boards. His PG Butler had 27 pts but nobody from Tachenko had an answer for Paul Overstreet. Overstreet put in 38 and Skalec who is often in the headlines was strong again with 28. Both teams had a great game but this one came down to the 4th quarter and the home team came out ahead. Challengers 118 Tachenko 106

Dutchman at Allstars

Dutchmen came out swinging in this one and delivered a knock out punch. Both teams came out with the same game plan but the Dutchmen put more into this one tonight. Hutson came out hot.........as usual and drained 28 on the Allstars defense. Personal fouls absolutely killed the allstars tonight. The Dutchmen capatilized and that spelled victory.
Dutchmen 90 Allstars 76

MVP
Junde 35 points in 35 minutes

Honorable mention Wilson 36 points

Intra League Record

Big 8 14 wins
Great 8 10 wins

Great 8 closes the gap tonight.

Just to echo what everyone else has said, don't give up on the season. If you looked through the thread for I think two seasons ago you would find a post I made about being fed up and preparing to sell off everything and start over/give up altogether. I think I added a player instead and stuck with my training and managing game shape/enthusiasm and it all basically turned around. I'm not banging down the door to D.II or anything but I think I'm set up pretty well to get there at some point, although I'd kill to have some extra money to play with. I feel like I'm at least one more really good player from truly competing for a D.III title...once Phantoms move on of course.

Sorry for the digression haha. Point is, definitely don't completely bail on hanging in D.III. Doesn't matter what happens in the regular season if you go on to win your relegation games.

thanks for all the support guys!
I've been trying to sell 3 of my players but simply just no one in this world is interested in them...

its crazy how crank dat can sell and buy players in such a speed!
I'll try to improve...and also need to find out whats the good offensive tactic for my team...
seemed to find it two seasons ago but now I'm lost again...

I need a small forward.

Who has one? I need decent (not great) outside skills but the inside skills really need to compliment my below average big guys.

don't underestimate the need for outside skills on your SF especially OD.

Congrats to PCI, Blasters and Champaign still representing III.4 in the Cup.

Bobcats, I spend alot of time looking through the market to find the great deals. Its not something that can work unless you really stick around to find guys you can easily sell for more. The rest is managing how often you sell considering the depreciation in the percentage of money earned. Patience is the key and if you can do it well I'm sure you can make it through here

don't underestimate the need for outside skills on your SF especially OD.

I am already guard heavy. My OD is fine. I need someone to add to my ID

got ya

Rivalry game on the road vs the Crazies. Always a tough matchup. Good Luck! I wish I had the Celtics and you had the Cav's!
