Teams are back in action after the all-star break and Saturday was one of the greatest weekends so far. Close games, injuries and thrillers...
Indiana teams will likely land top seeds in both conferences. 3 teams in Big 8 and 2 in Great 8 are fighting for homecourt and 2 in Great 8 will try to make it to playoffs. With Pistons out, Dutchmen and Trafficers will eye 6th place in Big 8. 3 teams in Great 8 will try to grab 6th seed while avoiding direct relegation.
Flyers @ Illusion was a 1st class ball game. Illusion's FCP was a smart move and caused 24 TO's. But Flyers frontcourt duo Woods and Mannu function like Duncan-Robinson. Illusion attempted 49 three pointers and 120 FGs. Flyers went to the FT line for 33 times against Illusion's 12. Final score was 118-130 for Flyers. This is Flyers 6 wins in a row. We are in a point where we can discuss their chances of promotion.
Magic @ Gavno was again one of the top games of the day. After losing 2 consecutive games and getting kicked out of the Tourney, Gavno was on the verge of losing another. However all the Magic starters almost played 48 mins were exhausted on the last couple of minutes, 111-106.
The real thriller was at Chicago between the Goats and Tachenko. Paz missed the 3 pointer for Chicago and Tachenko got the win with one point, 102-103. There wasn't joy and happiness in Tachenko locker room. Their superstar Mayagoitta went down in the 1st quarter and news were very disappointing. He will be out (torn achilles) for the rest of the regular season. It's unlikely for Tachenko to keep up with likes of Cleveland without him and they look safe from relegation, so it might be training time for them. As a side note, Tachenko put more into this game than Chicago.
Hawks beat Steppers at Charlotte and remain undefeated, 95-122. If Steppers could avoid a brutal 3rd quarter, thing could get interesting though. Two biggest snubs of all-star game, Mina and Salisbury, each put in solid performances. Hawks didn't want to take a risk and put more into this game.
How can you lose when you collect 28 more rebound than your opponent? The answer is 0% 3pt FG and 11 extra blocks. This is the brief summary of Armageddons vs. Cleveland. Cleveland increased their winning streak to 4, 73-85. Pistons aside, Armageddons are in the biggest current losing streak.
Dutcmen @ Broncos was full of ups and downs and drama. Dutchmen was trailing by 18 at the half and 12 at the end of 3rd but made a great comeback to steal a very important game, 101-103. Broncos could tie records with Armaggedons if they have won. Kyle Pugh, mostly known with his hustle play, scored the game winner with 2 seconds left.
Not every game was close. Bnagers had a comfortable win against TIE'ing Traficcers, 97-62. Carlos Xiong, is playing a bigger role for Bangers each day.
Pistons, again decided to spoil things not showing up to the game against Investors. The game was supposed to be televised and broadcasters were upset at Piston's attitude.
Player of the day was, Clay Chow of Indiana Gavno. 28 pts, 31 rebds 9 assists and 2 stls.
Game of the Tuesday will be Illusion @ Cleveland. Both teams need to win and with their level of quality, they offer fans a great game.
