alright guys so if anyone is willing to do recaps let us know so we can get them going.

maybe you can do them, or everygame a different manager steps up and writes the recaps?

I was thinking maybe everybody could pick one team from their conference, and then whenever the team you picked is playing at home, you write the recap for their game? That would keep the workload pretty light for all of us (each person only needs to write a recap for one team and only every other game most of the time) but we'd still get the full schedule recap'ed and it might be fun to have one team to follow and sort of 'learn' about.

I was gonna suggest we do it by rivals until I saw some teams are rivals to multiple teams and some are rivals to none. If people are interested, I can start off the picking and volunteer to do Michigan Blasters recaps, unless somebody really wanted to do them?

I'll do tonight's recap.

Sucks for you guys I promoted because I actually have the time now to do recaps

I'm sure your div 2 group will enjoy them.

You know, you could just blow your Div II league ... off, and come back to write recaps for the best league in all of BB. Just an idea, :P

My team loves to get stupid in the 4th quarter. Dumb shot selection by the wrong players. Fouling jumpshooters. Turnovers. A 3 point game with 4 minutes left somehow ends up a blowout.

I have to remind myself it's okay to lose to the reigning conference champ but damn, it would have been nice of my team not to play their worst possible D in the 4th. Ehh, I'm still mostly concerned with training and getting a bit better every week so I'll take a win and loss to open the season. In the meantime I'll take out my anger on the D.V team in Thursday's Cup game.

I'll also take a win and a loss to start things off. But I'd pretty much forgotten what it was like to lose since I'm coming off a perfect season. I'd better get used to it again coming back to D.III. C'est la vie.

that's great news! can't wait to read the recap of day 2.

Im not gonna do it for Div II i dont know the teams well enough and my team is rarely going to win so it wont be as fun

Bangerz vs Blasters: Bangerz started off slow but came on strong with some great inside play. The extra enthusiasm by the Bangerz looks like the difference in two closely matched squads. The Bangerz had 79 rebounds and shot almost 50% from the field, a great combination for winning. Beavers is a perennial MVP candidate and is almost impossible to shut down on either side of the court. The Blasters strong backcourt play was not enough to hold up.

Magic vs Flyers: This is becoming a rivalry! Both teams great squads with serious low post players. The Flyers look a little bit better balanced and should compete for a high play-off seeding. Another contest that home court was a big factor. The Flyers also benefited from higher effort. Was it a crunch by the Flyers or a TIE by the Magic? Good Teams… Good Game…

No Potential vs Goats: Another game with enthusiasm being played by a squad. Crunch or TIE. The big story in this game was Vernon Partridge. Not the typical Partridge family play we are used to seeing. Seems like the Goats may have given this one away. Although, is this the season No Potential puts together it’s run? NP has a real nice balanced attack that played well as a team.

Crazies vs Red Terror: These are two teams with some separation of skills. The Crazies are a power that should be in contention this season with real nice players top to bottom. The terrors look better but are still building. Barry had a monster night for the Crazies and is one of the better SF in the league. Can the Crazies make there mark this season? That may be the only team in Cleveland that still has a pulse.

Dutchmen vs Champaign: Dutch have a nice developing squad. Champaign is an above average Div 3 squad. Pyatetsky may be the hardest working center in the league. He was 4-5 from 3 point range and 9-11 from the field.

Investors vs Oznap: PCI looking good after playing it’s second easy game of the season. Oznap better have big bucks to spend or it is going to be a long season and a quick cup of coffee in DIV 3.

Tachenko vs VD’s: What a tight game….. Problem was VD did not start playing until the 2nd quarter. Tachenko also played with more energy. Both teams look primed for solid seasons. VD also threw out a small roster. We are unfamiliar with his squad but we will see how he plays it over the next few weeks.

Royal Challengers vs Swanson: No review needed. Challengers win by 50.
