Team of the scroll closes out the pre-allstar break with a 7-6 record. Sitting in a playoff position. ShadowSlam un-surprised by where his team sits. "A lot of our struggles to win early came to some of our key players, Luwa & Marks, Struggling. But as the season progressed Luwa got things going, and in our recent match-up vs Team of 7, we finally saw Marks play like the player he is."
Last game Team of the Scroll won easily at home vs Team of 7 102-55. The 2-3 zone was no problem as the Team of the Scroll run and gunned their way through it!
Eric Marks was the player of the game shooting a season best 11-18, 1-3 on 3s, 2-6 at the line, to go along with 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 turnovers, 3 steals and 25 points. It's Mark's 3rd consecutive dbl-dbl when he gets the start, and his 1st 20/20 performance of the season.
Donald Luwa not as sharp as usual as he defended one of the league's leading scorers, Charlie Conner. Conner was held to 8 points while shooting 2-10 from the floor and 4-4 at ft line in 44 minutes of action. Luwa, had his assists number higher than usual, which can only mean, that it's because Marks was finally knocking down his shots. Luwa posted 16 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover, 1 steal, and 1 block in 47 minutes of action. Shooting 7-15 from the floor, 1-4 from deep, and 1-4 at the FT line.
David Thomas' assists have been dropping off the map lately with the great team play, but he's found other ways to stay effective. Thomas scored 7 points, had 1 rebound 3 assists 2 steals and 3 blocks, 0 turnovers.
Team of the Scroll has been on fire since
(65837005) coincidentally, the 1st game Mark's got going as well. Having won 5 games in a row, and 3 in a row within the league. Team of the Scroll has a fair bit of momentum going into the all-star break. Dave Burgos is expected to be in the 3-point shootout.
Possible all-stars from TOS are Burgos at SG, and Thomas at PG.
As inter-league play winds to a close after the all-star break, Team of the Scroll fans can expect ShadowSlam to be working hard during the AS Break to come up with a game plan to close out the season strong and make a strong showing come playoff time. Things others should be wary about is the line-ups TOS have been using. Where has Sean Clark, and Burt Branch gone? Branch whom was so effective, and Clark whom was a fearless shooter and a mismatch causer?
With their incredible improvement at rebounding from the season' beginning, is it cause for concern to the rest of the league? Does ShadowSlam's team have what it takes? Keep watching and find out!!!
