We are literally in the middle of the season and the big picture is shaping up a bit.
Hawks didn't expect such a comfortable win but Gavno frontcourt seems to have only a little help from their backcourt, 88-67. Gavno and Chow did a good job against Billon and Aranburu, slowed them down, gave them foul trouble but Hawks backcourt lead by Salisbury took over the game on last quarter.
Magic have the 3rd best record in whole league this season and the main reason is the increased defensive intensity. The same intensity helped them beat Armageddons on Saturday night, 87-67. Holloway is absolutely one of the most all-around and underrated players in this league.
Investors are no joke! Dutchmen TIED but they usually don't lose by +20 pts and Investors deserve credit, 89-111.
In a game full of ups and downs between Flyers and Steppers, 4th quarter quite belonged to home team, 109-90. Mario Mannu of Flyers, one of the early top candidates in MVP race, made his case once again with 31-19-7. "He was like a merciless Italian godfather on the court and thanks god he was on our side" said Lorenzo Woods after the game.
Cleveland is starting to get in sync more and more each day. 6 players for Cleveland scored double digits against Chicago, 120-102. Chicago center Patridgde who made some "not very nice" comments on city of Cleveland like "Cleveland sucks" before the game, didn't receive a warm welcome by 12.612 crazy fans.
Most exciting game of the day was between Pistons and Bangers. Bangers snapped their 5 game losing streak thanks to the buzzerbeater by Xiong, 93-95.
Illusion got easy win over Trafficers, 85-65. 3 of the Illusion's starters recorded double doubles and other two were close.
Tachenko is having a tough season and maybe 98-66 win over Broncos could start a much needed winning streak for them. F. Mayagoitia was the MVP of the game with 21 pts and 24 boards.
But the MVP of the day was someone else: Gael Carmona of the Investors with 57 pts, 7 rbds, 2 asts and 2 steals. Yes he may posses the ball a lot and might have stayed on the court for whole game but he delivers over and over again.
Most important games of Tuesday are, Flyers @ Investors and Magic @ Illusion. Hawks @ Bangers will also be live on ESPN 2.
