Good luck to everyone tonight. Looks like I get to take my first lump of the season via the hands of the Bobcats. We'll see what we can do I guess, but I have to train this season and make a deal or two.

with you TIE and my SG draining all those shots, i think i got lucky with this win.
It shows your dominant interior game even under my 2-3 zone you manage to get a strong rating for inside scoring and strong inside defence. sell few players to get some decent guards or two will make you top few teams in this league probably.

p.s. RECAPSSSS!!

Recaps Game 1

Bobcats at Rougher Nation
With one team looking to bang inside and the other shooting away this game was sure to be a fan pleaser. The home team banged it down low and Runyon and Kvecinskis combined for 55 pts. Seems like a hard point total to ovecome but the Bobcats had an answer in the play of Kucumen. He drained 46 on the nation defense and single handedly dismanted the Rougher Nations dreams of taking the first game of the season. Kucumen's play and the Nation getting called for 18 fouls helped the Bobcats bring win number one to their team. Bobcats 115 Rougher Nation 102

P and C at Crank Dat
With Crank Dat coming off a strong season 15 the fans looked to keep the wins a coming. The P and C crowd thought otherwise. Garcia drained 4 three pointers for the P and C gang and totalled 29 for the game. These points combined with another 3 of his teammates going into double digits was just enough to hold off 5 Soulja's in double digits. 3 point field goals and a little added effort were the difference in this one. P and C made the 3's and Crank Dat did not. P and C 92 Crank Dat 90

Vikings at Prov City
One went low and one pushed it hard. In the end running it seemed to be the answer. Carmona had 28 and that combined with a stingy Prov City defense allowed Prov City to pull away from the Vikings early. An additional 20 rebounds didn't hurt matters either. Prov City 113 Vikings 90

Challengers at Blasters
These old warriors decided to start off the season fighting it out early. Blasters felt the need to run while the Challengers decided to slooowww it down. Well that was supposedly the plan but if Marangon put 51 on the Blasters playing slow who knows what would have happened in fast forward. 51 is impressive but not if you are the only one who scores for your team. The Blasters had 6 in double digits which was just enough for the Blasters to take the W on this one. Blasters 112 Challengers 98

VD's at Sharks
With the Sharks putting the hearts into this one they wanted to show VD's just how big their bite was. All in all this game was a tad bit of snoozer with each team trying out their squads for the first time of the season. Each team struggle to score but luckily the VD's had Arnaud who drained 31 by pounding it inside. Arnauds 31 was more then enough to keep the sharks from circling. VD's 85 Sharks 70

Terrors at Flames
With two teams who took their turns struggling at different times last season only to turn their teams around late this looked to be a very interesting game. Terrors put a bunch into this one and combined the teams put up 197 shots to the crowds pleasure. The terrors had consistent scoring but so did the flames. The Flames looked more like a flamethrower from 3 land and that was the difference in this one. Flames 116 Terrors 104

Dutchmen at Zebras
The Zebras had an impressive night rebounding the ball and look to be dominate in the paint. They need to be able to turn those rebounds into points and with that they struggled at times. With 20 offensive rebounds you would think that would lead to a win but in this case they couldn't finish the deal and couldn't keep Hutson and Romary from scratching out a win. The Zebras coach was heard after ward in a press conference trying to figure out how they got 20 offensive boards but couldn't produce points. "It is definately a cause for concern but the season is young". Dutchmen 101 Zebras 90

Tachenko at Crazy's
With one of the older rivalry games Tachenko looked to come in and pound the ball inside. This is no shock as they have one of the stronger inside games in the league. The Crazys also played to their strength going with a motion and hoping the guards could pull it out. With Tachenko putting some heart into this one they went up early. The Crazy guards help pull them back into this one and tied it up late in the game. After Tachenko pounded it down low a couple times late Barry missed a 3 pointer to tie the game at the buzzer. Tachenko 110 Crazys 107

MVP got to give it to Marangon with his 51 even though it did not produce a W. I know you think otherwise that is fine feel free to post. Got to give some props to Kucumen as well.

P.S. Recaps are a bit harder when we are playing cup lineups but I realize that everyone will be using some lineup magic in the next few weeks so I will simply comment on the players not what could have been.

I'm trying to reshape the roster and switch to a different training regimen. I need a small forward and i have one to train now....might be a long season, but if I can stay up this season I am confident I could possibly make the playoffs next. We will see.

Good game to your squad as well.

Wow...disappointed we couldn't finish the game with a win. Would have been nice to start off with a win, but looks like I have some work to do. Still happy to be in this league. Can't wait for the next game.

Awesome recaps by the way! Good game, Dutchmen!

I can't believe all those offensive rebounds didn't come back to haunt me but my D held strong, even if they couldn't box out. Free throws ended up making the difference. Your team looks like it has really good depth in place to support your Big 2 so you're already in good shape for a newly promoted team.

I've been lucky in my first division game....the cup game draw was terrible,I will certainly lose,the forum is active this is a great thing.Good luck to everybody

My team has been so unstable lately I could lose to a bot.......................but I don't think so this week. :)
