No game reviews this week. With playoffs approaching I thought this would be more fun or appropriate. My version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Top of the Heap:
These team(s) are at the top of the league and have the best chance of winning the coveted GRINDERS championship:
Team Richie: Team Richie is sitting in first place at 6-2 and holds the tie-breaker on the second place team (Witt). Chances are GOOD they finish as the 1-seed. This team is pretty BAD when it comes to ball movement. It seems like either Richie or Curt bring the ball up and shoot. Their last 2 games have been UGLY. They’re arguing, complaining, tantruming, all while going 0-2. Did they peak too early???
Team Witt: Team Witt is in second place and has a shot to claim the 1-seed with a good final 2 weeks. Their play as of late has been more than GOOD. They’ve won 5 in a row after starting 0-2. The only way Witt spending $31 on Cole can be described is BAD money management. We’re not saying Cole isn’t a good player, but he certainly isn’t worth that amount. The Team Witt defense has been making other team’s offenses look UGLY. Team Witt has the best defense in the league statistically.
Middle of the Pack:
These are good teams that just haven’t hit full stride, but can beat anyone on a given Wednesday in the GRINDERS dungeon.
Team Ford: They sit in 3rd place, with arguably the best player in the league (no, not you Ford). Out of the Middle of the Pack teams, they have a GOOD chance at earning a bye. The schedule shake out has them in control of their playoff seeding. The shooting percentages of said best player is BAD. When you’re that guy, you have to be more efficient. The schedule has been favorable to Team Ford mostly because of his non-stop requests. Requesting every week is an UGLY look for the team and the league. BE BETTER.
Team KO: Team Kellen is in a tie for the 4th seed. They’ve been a little up and down this season, but are trending up currently with a GOOD win vs, Team Ford. They have the other guy who could be considered the best player in the league and an interesting cast of role players. The BAD for this team is their offense when and if Jimmy isn’t being Jimmy. Can those other role players step up and lead their team if Jimmy isn’t walking on water? Finally, have you seen Kellen’s new sneakers????? FUGLY.
Team Tommy: Tied for 4th place but capable of beating anyone. The GOOD has to be Mike G. His GAPE is more than GOOD, it’s freaking great! The only guy that can stop Mike is Mike….maybe the most efficient player in GRINDERS history. The BAD for this team is their seeding. We here at GRINDERS HQ had this team as a pre-season finals team. Not living up to expectations…….yet. The UGLY is simply Tommy Hughes’ game. This guy used to be a walking triple-double. Now he’s just walking, and at the butt of Richie’s jokes.
The FCS: Next year boys.Team E. is currently the only winless team in GRINDERS so it’s a GOOD thing that everyone makes the playoffs. This team has a nice collection of people who can score and do damage. The reason they’re 0-fer is their BAD defense. If they put the effort into their D that they put into jacking up shots, they could have the ability to make some noise in the playoffs. The UGLY are the punishment ideas going around the league should Team E go winless. I’ve heard naked laps. I’ve heard about a bar tab on them for the rest of the league. I’ve heard of a ketchup/mustard shower at the Eldridge Club. Boys, don’t let that -ish happen to you.
