Match day #12 8/10/10


E.C. High-Flyers @ 1Derz Bangerz. The Flyers wanted to win more on this night and it showed. Bangerz took it easy to get ready for a very tough cup draw on Thursday. The 2-3 zone of the Flyers was very effective against the inside game of the Bangerz and it resulted in an easy win for the hot handed Stefanini and his boys. Flyers 91-73. Despite the easy win, Flyers’ coach was not happy with the amount of turnovers his team allowed.

Red Terrors @ The Illusion. The Illusion took it easy and despite conceding the most points they have all season, it was an easy win. Illusion 117-101. The Terrors showed that they can get the ball in the basket, but need work on the defensive end. Statovci commented after the game on his near perfect shooting night, “I was really feeling it tonight, I even knocked down 2 threes. My coach was not happy with me shooting from that range, but hey he couldn’t say anything after they went in.”

Tachenko @ Chicago Goats. Tachenko couldn’t give the match their all while trying to manage minutes, and in the midst of multiple injuries. Goats on the other hand took advantage of the fact that they are expected to play inside and instead went for a run and gun tactic. It was an easy win for them against the 2-3 zone of Tachenko, but Goats still didn’t shoot well from beyond the arc. Goats 94-78.

Marietta Magic @ No Potential. Magic were able to take it easy and manage minutes and still have no problem with No Potential. Magic 109-79. Sean Ryan and Mario Mannu were talking about the all-star game after the game and are getting pumped to see if they will be the ones to represent the inside game of the Big 8.

Champaign @ Indiana Gavno. Gavno is starting to look more like a team, but they took this match easy and it gave Champaign an easy win, 90-75. Gavno will have to address their ball handling if they want to be more effective because Champaign was able to force 19 on them. Champaigns primary scoring options were really highlighted this game with 3 of their players scoring 72 of their 90 points.

Cleveland Crazys @ Roxas City Red Claws. Claws still forfeiting gives Crazys a 116-48 victory.

San Diego Crusaders @ Prov City Investors. The Crusaders didn’t stand a chance especially without their offensive leader Gassol gone and no replacement in sight. Investors 121-65. Carmona went off for 35 points this night and it surprised no one. An interviewer asked him about where he thinks his team is at as we are coming close to the all-star break and he commented, “We are definitely trying to get better, but right now we are ok sitting in 3rd place. Our record is sub par, we would like to at least be .500 but as long as we don’t start dropping in the Great 8 standings we will consider where we are good for now.”

TDX Dutchmen @ Armageddons. The Geddons tried to switch things up with a motion offense, but they didn’t have the fire power to match Donny Hutson and his backcourt. Dutchmen 81-77. Both teams actually shot almost the exact same fg%, but the Dutchmen were able to get to the free-throw line more often. The key player this game was sf Aydin who was all over the place getting 12 boards and leading the Dutch with 19 points.

Nightly Notable

Lowell Webber of the Chicago Goats. He picked up 6 boards, dished out 4 assists and scored 25 points, but the real reason he stood out was his timeliness of scoring. Whenever the Goats needed a basket he was there to knock it down and cover the asses of a struggling backcourt.

Great Summary!

thanks

Wow, Lowell Webber stuck out enough to get recognized.

I'm sorely disappointed in my team this season. Clinton Cantrell keeps playing far too many minutes while Lawrence Coyle has rarely been subbed in like in the past. So I had to try something else.

Veiga Paz is shit.

Yeah Paz really seems to not be cutting it for you guys. Get some cash and replace him and make sure his replacement can play some major defense as well, at very least prolific.

I'm going to be moving soon (staying in USA though) does anyone know how I can change my town for BB so that the time will be correct for me.

Gajda injured, Pyatetskiy injured. How am I supposed to be win without 2 of my best players. And I am not even talking about the timing, all these happens against Illusion!

tough luck.

Is it just me or have the standings not updated? I think PD might be right but records haven't updated.

Yep, still down.

Due to a combination of the Allstar Week processes and the delay at yesterday's games some standing updates are still running. Allstar standings take a little longer to run than normal standings, but we are catching up. We expect that you'll finally know whether some of your superstars made the Allstar Team in a few hours!

Big year for Italian point guards. Three made the all star rosters and the next in line for each conference are Italian.
