The 4 games I've played against the Steppers, the only guy I was concerned about controlling the outcome of the game was Jorge Mina.
During the only 4 games we've played against each other, Mina averaged 28.75 per game on 0.402 shooting. He shot 0.306 from the perimeter with an adjusted shot percentrage reflecting only 2-pt attempts at 0.483. His free throw shooting was average 0.636.
The four seasons I've played Mina, he's been the only guy I was concerned about ... to a certain extent. I had no problem letting Mina get his shots in as long as the four other guys on the court were contained. Mina was a beast but, and I am sorry to tell you this because I liked having your team here, but playing your team was like playing the Atlanta Hawks back when it was just Joe Johnson. Mina is going to get his points, there is no denying that, but it makes it that much easier to figure out how your game plan. There never was any gray area. You either were going to concentrate all your effort on shutting down Mina ... or concentrate on shutting down the other four.
Now hurry your ass up and get back up here. My Goats' revitatlized squad certainly wouldn't doing the two-step all over your Generation-Xers.
I love it! and I'm trying, I'm trying. A nice road victory for the X-steppers tonight to remain undefeated. The next league match will tell the tale on whether or not I can live up to Bigcatic's demands and remain undefeated. I'm going on the road against the other undefeated team in the league. Good news for me is that Mina should actually be back. Bad news is his game shape is somewhere below the toilet in the sewer.
Anyway, be careful what you wish for, my friend. When I come back, Mina won't be alone. His sidekick is coming along quite nicely. At the very least, I'll have a two headed monster for that fast paced style I love to play. Heck, I might even have some cash in the bank to make some Marietta Magic type of moves after selling a trainee or two. ;-)
Either way, this forum rocks and I appreciate you all allowing me to come in here and stir things up.
