Team Blue vs Team Grey….or as Witt calls them Grey’s Anatomy.
15.5 point spread!?!?!?!? 15.5 points?!?!?!?!!??! What the hades were the oddsmakers thinking (their GAPE, most likely)? Team Grey must have used it for billboard material cause they came out to play. In what was a highly competitive game throughout, saw it’s best and worst action in the last 45 seconds. First, up 3, Blue decides to cover Vaillancourt for some reason and then even DOUBLE TEAM him in the post. This left ball reversal and BANG! the first of Timmy Hughes’ big shots. Tie game. Blue had a chance to recover and score for the win. They drew up the perfect play and…………CLUNK! Mark “O’Doyle Rules but not this time” missed a wide-open back door layup. Blue is scrambling and shook and before they get a chance to clear their heads………BAAAAAAANG! Timmy Hughes drills in his words, “a 360 spinning, double-pump, half-court heave with defenders draped all over him”, game-winner! Grey wins. Witt tantrums. End scene.
Team Black (minus Curtis) vs Team Pink:
This game was pretty much a non-story with the exception that the league finally got to bear witness to Wayne “LeBron Freight Train” Haynes. Wayne has only made appearances in open runs and such and has never graced Grinders with his presence in a real game. Wayne had 22 and 14 filling in for Creamer and May and also had Pink’s best GAPE. Not a bad debut. Black gave excellent effort and I for one liked their offensive scheme, but they just couldn’t get buckets. This team could look very different if everyone is there………
