Week 1, welcome back, blablabla. Honestly it was good to see people again and have a pint or 3. I’m sure Edlridge was thrilled we were back as well. Onto the games……
6:30 – Gimmie a Minute VS Laundromats now known as MIA (only Mike In Action)
I’m not sure how this game was played or counted because Mike “Silent Death” Gersitz was the only one from his team to show. This was a hard game to follow as most there were trying to figure out who was actually playing for their team. Apparently Justin and co. had all their people, though no one really showed up (statistically). This should be an interesting team to watch as there is potential. But as usual, Justin stayed on the perimeter against the much smaller Gersitz. Lil’Cuz went “Happy Go Jacky” on every shot he saw, mostly out of iso ball. Jeff May struggled again with his calves and his shooting percentage showed it. Lil’ Josh was a pest as usual but had no major effect on what was going on. There was a lot of one-on-one, I’m getting mine going on. Wait and see if that changes.
Gersitz dominated play as proven by his 40 GAPE (26/18). Dude just finds a way to be effective even if his team doesn’t make him a focal point. Crazy Al went for $28. Based on last year and game 1 of this year, that’s about $22 too much. He struggled scoring again but his energy did help to get his team extra possessions. To be honest, we lost interest in this one after the first 16 minutes. It was best placed as the first game out of the shoot, much like the first fight in an undercard. No one knows who they are and no one cares or will watch. Be better next time.
Based on talent, this should have been the game of the night. Instead we got what may be the greatest disparity in Team GAPE…….ever!!!!!! (96-20) What’s a Pass? came out and absolutely dominated play. Matt “Eye Rake” Vaillancourt looked like the UNC version of “Psycho T” Tyler Hansburough. He destroyed Ford in the paint and completed dominated everything in the 3-second area to the tune of 26/20 on 68% shooting and a career high GAPE of 48. Curt did Curt things and scored at will against a much inferior team (mostly in garbage time) and almost had a triple double (30/10/8). Peyton “Jon’s kid” made his Grinders debut and contributed in every stat category, as did “Bang Bang” Tirado. This game was done before the 1st half had even expired.
Team Chuckets had us up-chucking with how bad they were. They didn’t score. They didn’t pass. They didn’t rebound. They didn’t try. Frankly they didn’t care. Once again self-proclaimed top 5 player in the league Tommy Hughes called “game” with a ton of time left on the clock. Rumor has it that he didn’t want rival Crut to drop 80 on his ass. There’s not much to go on stat-wise for this team. Tommy had a double-double (10/10) but……..ewwwwwww. Be better in week 2.
BOHICA vs Dadbod Does the Shammgod
“THE HUG”. That is all.
The games/shenanigans/trash-talk at the bar was waaaaaaaaay better than any of the games played. You want more write-up? Play better games.
