Recap

Team Where’s Richie 43 vs Team Curtis 55

Team Cole came into this matchup needing a victory over Team Curtis to clinch 2nd place and a first round bye. They came out… and they tried their best. We think.

Cole’s squad was once again without Richie “Team Player” Creamer. One game back and Richard was already on another sabbatical. Captain Curtis, who went full-out Patrick Mahomes on draft day, is thinking he may have dodged a bullet. Wayne played a solid game – maybe his best of the season, pumping in 17/14/3 and 23 GAPE on the night. Tag teammate Christopher Cole put in a reasonable all-around performance too. He shot 40% from the floor, 12/8/3 and a respectable, albeit underachieving, 15 GAPE. This Beat Writer will have to verify with the GAPE Chicken – but I don’t think that is a very good GAPE/LBs ratio. We’ll get back to you on that one. Anyway, Team Cole really struggled with their number 3 and 4 guys. Airball Brothers Chuck and Johnny T shot a combined 6/32, converting only 2 from three-point range. Respectively, they finished with -4 and -3 GAPE. Way to ball out fellas.

Team Curt’s depth players really outplayed their Team Cole counterparts. Boccio, along with fellow role-players Little Josh and Curtis, combined for 10/23 on the night – out-scoring Tirado and Thomasulo 21-14. Those points really seemed to make the difference. Oh wait – no. Just kidding. They didn’t make the real difference in this one. In game that was closer than the final indicated… Joey “BANG-BANG” Marie went OFF. Nailing 3 after consecutive 3 at the end of the game, Joe single handedly gut-punched Team Cole by taking their 3 point lead and turning it into a 12 point lead in like 90 seconds. Then, he took himself out of the game – citing that he was tired of slaying and needed to rest for next week. Ben bounced back from a poor performance last week with a double-double (12/10) and a solid 13 GAPE. Curtis will try and brag that he had 7 assists… but when you have Joe Marie hitting uncontested shots on 57.9% EFG, do those assists really mean that much? Real Grinders know better. Keep working Curtis – you are so close to being in the league’s elite. The beat writers can almost taste it for you.

Fun Facts::

“The Spies Who Chucked Me” Chuck T and Jon T have a combined WaR of 0.07.

GAPE Chicken reports the aforementioned inquiry on Christopher Coles GAPE/LBs statistic is indeed, not great. GAPE Chicken also reminded the Beat Writers that it is against his programming to humiliate real people.
