Otherland Coach Troy Valmont, deciding to have his players Take It Easy (TIE), and the result was a 92-69 blowout on the road. Otherland's most convincing win, since their cup game, and their largest margin of victory in league play this season... came on the day, when the team gave the least effort.
Grzegorz Citak getting the start at SF over Władysław Żwirski despite Zwirski's 53 point performance in their last league game, played 31 minutes. In 31 minutes of action Citak contributed 5 points on 1-4 shooting, 1-1 on 3s, 2-2 at the line, Citak also contributed 9 rebounds 1 assists 3 steals blocks and 1 turnover.
Zwirski played 20 minutes off the bench scoring 10 points on 5-13 shooting, 0-2 beyond the arc, with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 turnover.
Quigley also coming off the bench added 20 minutes, 5 points on 2-6 shooting, 1-1 from downtown, with 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals.
Against the weaker opponent, Singer getting the start over Falcao, Singer was good for 13 points on 5-14 shooting, going 2-4 from triple-town, and 1-2 at the charity stripe, adding 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 turnovers.
Falcao playing only 19 minutes scored 6 points on 3-8 shooting, missing 0-2 on 3s, and throwing in 1 rebound and 7 assists.
Paul Salas shot 5-12 from the floor, 0-1 beyond the arc, split a pair at the ft line, ending with 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, a block, and 2 turnovers.
Zacharia Belkhaouas with a dominating performance in light of his back-up/competition Chung Hui's injury. Zacharia Belkhaouas dominated the Bostics with 12 points on 6-8 shooting, 14 rebounds, 3 assists 5 blocks, and 5 turnovers.
Huey provided a spark off the bench adding 11 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists in 14 minutes of play, he shot 3-7, converting 3-5 from deep, and splitting at the line 2-4.
Watt, with better game-shape now, scored 16 points on 6-13 shooting, flawless 2-2 from downtown, going 2-3 at the line, adding 4 rebounds (3 on offense), 2 assists, 1 block and 4 turnovers. Watt was a mid-season acquisition meant to come in and facilitate the offense and improve the flow, but so far we haven't seen that kind of play from the crafty veteran. Since being acquired he hasn't scored more assists than turnovers.
As a whole Otherland, despite putting in less effort, and committing a whopping 31 fouls in the game! opposed to the Bostics's 12 fouls. DOMINATED the Bostics all the way. Otherland shot 37-88 and 10-19 on 3s, compared to Bostics FG of 21-73 and 5-17 from deep. Bostics converted 22-36 FTs opposed to Otherland going 8-13. But Otherland put up 55 rebounds to Bostic's 44, had 26/15 assists to turnover compared to Bostic 12/19, and just seemed to have their way with bostics all game.
Coming up next for Otherland are the Shakin B4Bi3z, Shakin B4Bi3z are coming off of a 125-47 win at home, and are in possession of arguably league MVP Juan Luis Carapio. Carapio averaging over 19 points and over 19 rebounds per game. Otherland ha s0 chance at this game, and its nationally televised. Shakin B4Bi3z are only an 8 person deep team, with 1 out to injury... but Coach Valmont's realistic after that debauchle vs the Indy Super Saints. We'll see how they can do, luckily they have 1 televised game left on the season after that vs the #2 seed Thunderstorm. whom earlier in year, when they were 1st in the division, Otherland held tight to losing 117-108, before adding Watt, and way less development of Salas and Quigley ago.
