Winter 2010: B1 League Champs: Basketballs Deep

At least someone played a competitive game....
Guards-R-Us 67 Silky Johnson 62

Holy Crap I didn't do round 1 write-ups?!?! Must be because of the 3 blowouts all by at least 36 points. You think that was fun for me?!? It wasn't. At least i can sleep walk my way through those write-ups.

But not this one. Ok, I probably still will, as for much of this game it was an ugly defensive battle when neither team could generate much O.  Silky Johnson certainly had their chances to pull this one out.  Roly, or DoubleBarrel if you follow the Lunch League at all, was once again the go to guy. He and Haven made it work in the first half, continually taking momentum away from GRU and establishing their own pace.  With Belletti coming through in the second half, i thought they'd have enough to get it done.

But no, all it takes is a five minute lull and a quality team like Guards R Us pounces.  Larkin, in particular, is capable of catching fire on the turn of a dime.  Without Evans, Kaplan was shockingly the steady hand, breaking double digits in both halves and, as usual, absolutely clutch at the free throw line. 

It's been rough billing for DBag this seaosn, who's been asked to guard basically eveyrone in the league, rebound, especially when evans isn't around, and only take a couple 3s per game while everyone else is firing away.  All that and he barely generates a mention in the write-ups because of it. Well I'm sick of it! He and Rob both played great, and again, without Evans, it was good to see them getting more shots and PT!

Let's hope Frail convinces Evans to show next week against BDeep, or else that game will be as ugly as the first 3 were in this round, no one wants to watch games that bad...
