Big Nice 74 Pau Gasol’s Beard 83
Quite the upset we had on our hands tonight as PGB defeated Big Nice for the 2nd time this season. CPW picked a bad time to skip out and I kept thinking he’d roll in on his blades at any moment because to him time is just a suggestion. But alas, he did not, musta been off tending to his cranberry bogs. His presence was sorely missed as he was a huge part for Big Nice this season and his absence left a hole in the paint PGB exploited like O’Cal was on his prom night. Big Nice actually held the lead for about 87.5% of the game thanks to Mazz and JaySar finding their shots since the week before. Their 3 point attempts were limited, Mazz 2-5, Jay 1-2, and Fizzle making his reappearance 3-6. Believe it or not that is like a record low attempts for the 3. Despite holding on to a slight lead, the momentum always seemed to be on PGB’s side. Brian led the attack with a huge first half getting down the court for quick buckets and being the sole big man inside for his team.
Trailing 40-38, both teams began a cat and mouse game or something like that. But since I’m not entirely sure how to use that statement, I’ll tell you how it went. Mazz scored off a pass from O’Cal, Duncan hit a bucket, Fizzle took a 3, Dorey hit a bucket, O’Cal threw the ball away, Jay hit a 2 footer. And on and on…the leading man was struggling to find his guys and without CPW’s hands up there to grab his lobs, and a rusty Fizzle helping him out in the backcourt that PGB took their first lead of the game with 4 to go. Duncan was nailing everything and The Ragin Bull finally started to get inside for buckets. They went on a 10-2 run and upped their lead to 10 with just 2 minutes to go. Big Nice was forced to foul down the stretch and all their hopes and dreams slipped away in to the hands of the only team able to beat the Big Nice squad this season. PGB played more composed than ever, nailed some big shots with just minutes remaining and the A2 Championship was theirs. Just because I date the Player Prez doesn’t mean that anything I say at CAC matters and once again I was overruled. Duncan valiantly handed over the Championship MVP nod I gave him to his teammate Brian, who I’ll admit was well worthy of the award. Congrats to PGB, some of us have to wait more than 2 seasons for a Championship!! Next season I imagine Big Nice will be back to avenge their PGB demons.
