On and on we go.
Who will keep stats?
Nobody knows.
Did he get a steal?
I couldn’t see.
Do I mark an “A” or just give him the “3”?
Do I have a deadline for these?
Eff it…
Oh and hey, we have Twitter now!
Team Ford aka Richie’s karma for being born vs Hi-liters
As score would indicate, this game was never close. Hi-liters dominated from the beginning and through ’til the end. They led by 8-14 points for most of the game. Their lead was never really threatened.
Team Ford could have had a chance if either their captain OR their highest paid player did anything. A disinterested Ford was 1/6 shooting. Richie showed interest but also showed a serious lack of skill, going 3/18from the field, turning the ball over 4 times, and possibly setting a Grinders record for futility WITH A -9 GAPE. My god. Could be the worst performance in Grinders HISTORY!!!!! On a positive note, Ben “Hesi-crossover” Sears had himself an effective game. He was the ONLY player in double figures, scoring 16 points.
Team Hi-liter slept through most of the game and still won by 17. Tommy “On the Russ-Bus” Hughes had a double-double. Gersitz scored 17. Wayne had 15. Pauly J had a Draymond Green game (9/5/7/2/1). Due to the blowout, Hi-liter actually let Josh in the game and even let him participate. He scored 4 points on 5 shots (both season highs for him with hi-liter) and had 6 rebounds.
Team Richie’s jumper is nails on a chalkboard vs Hoops I Lost Again
How would team Ford react in the second half of their double-header after getting throttled? Would Curt finally take a Ford team seriously or lose to him……AGAIN? How would it go? This was a great game to watch with a lot of back and forth and not decided until the last minute. Team Curt didn’t execute great offense down the stretch and Team Smirk…I mean Ford scored at the right times in the end to seal it.
Team Curt was led by Curt who had a monster game! He dropped 31 pts on 50% shooting with 16 rebounds. He also led his team with 4 turnovers, 2 of them proving costly at the end of the game. Jeff May had 21 points and Josh Lanzot had his best game in recent memory. Josh “Fullback dive” Lanzot had a massive GAPE (24) with 8 points, 16 boards, and 6 assists. He helped to control the flow of the offense (until Curt took over late – see turnovers).
Normally I’d go into how a whole team played and spread the wealth……..NOT TODAY!!! Richie FUCKING Creamer ladies and gentlemen. Richie came out guns a-blazin’, aiming to prove who the alpha male was on Team Curt last year. 3 after 3, jumper after jumper, Richie single-handedly carried the dead carcasses of Vaillancourt and Ford to the win. Richie dropped 32 points on Team Curt and was unstoppable (except for missing a 2 on 0 breakaway layup….cough, cough). Richie channeled his inner Isiah Thomas and just torched Team Curt. DAMN.
Hoops I Missed the Bucket Again vs Spare Tires Around (Dadbod/Shammgod)
The almighty Ford and co won the tail-end of their DH. Could Curt and crew save face and do the same???? Nahhhhhhhhhh. A tired Curt and crew played a soft 2-2 zone, packed it in, and packed up for home. This game was close-ish at half and Team Curt made a run with 4 minutes left, but couldn’t sustain it.
Curt had another decent game, scoring 24 pts (on 34 shots) and grabbing 16 more rebounds. Crazy Al and Jeff “Don’t call me Vintage” May each chipped in with 10 points. The story of Team Curt’s DH had to be Justin “Put Me in Coach” Gerardi. in 80 minutes of game action, Helmet played maybe 15 of them. He took 3 shots…….combined.
DadBod had a full team effort, especially on the defensive side. They were able to keep Team Curt on the outside and didn’t give up too many high quality chances. “Chuckets” Thomasulo played excellent D on Curt in the second half and Witt harassed Jeff May almost all game. Mike “I Lost at Dodgeball” Salvait grabbed 12!!!! rebounds and was efficient on offense (3/7). Witt led the team in scoring (again) scoring 22 points and collecting 12 rebounds. Cole finally found the basket and didn’t shoot 5 of……..as many more as you want they’re not going in no matter what.
Everyone pays to play in this league gentlemen. No one is going pro. Put your pride and egos aside and adjust your playing time. People should not be sitting the bench for long stretches of time. There is not reason for it.
