sp-tab-content-content\" id=\"sp-tab-content-content\">The MVP vs the most heckled. Jimmy&#8217;s well-drafted, meticulously crafted team vs Curt&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;ll just throw $$$ at anyone and win&#8221; squad of hired goons. For that lopsided look at how they drafted, the game played out much closer than most prognosticators thought.\r\n\r\nAD Curt was much more efficient on offense shooting 41% en route to a double-double and a game-high 24 points. This team was still looking for ball movement though. It seemed to be a little too much one pass and up offense&#8230;.which plays right into Ben &#8220;Ghost&#8221; Sears&#8217; hands. The &#8220;Human Hesi&#8221; was back in action after 17 different hiatus&#8217;. After showing strong in open run, Ben continued his quality play going 8\/19 and chipping in 7 rebounds with 4 assists. Lil Josh found his shooting touch going 3\/6, chipping in everywhere else, and having TRIPLE (6vs2) the GAPE of First Ballot HOF Boerdner. Well done Josh. Joe &#8220;Sweatsock&#8221; Marie was grinding down low most of the game, pounding the glass with a game high 16 boards. Joe also held down Mike &#8220;Go to Work&#8221; Ford to only 9 shots. Apparently the punch clock was busted.\r\n\r\nTeam MVP&#8230;.I mean Team Jimmy looked just like you would expect. The team would defer to Jimmy and take what he created for them&#8230;&#8230;all except new guy Matt &#8220;Foul?\u201d Kieta. Kieta walked into the league like it was LA Fitness or something and jacked-up every shot he saw, much to the chagrin of some of his teammates. However, &#8220;Keets&#8221; did score 16 points on 35% shooting. Not too bad for your debut in Grinders. E looked like he was still heart-broken from last year&#8217;s finals going 6\/19 and settling for mostly jump shots. Speaking of settling, Ford came back to Grinders from vacation or a work trip, and settled for 9 shots, allowing Jimmy to &#8220;go to work&#8221; for him. Ford did grab 12 boards and record 3 blocks. MVP Jimmy did &#8220;go to work&#8221; with a massively efficient triple-double, recording a 40 GAPE. Jimmy had a 24\/11\/11 stat line on only 18 shots. Gersitz eat your heart out. When Jimmy wasn&#8217;t creating for himself, he was getting open shots for his teammates off of the double-teams he created.\r\n\r\n<strong>Some interesting game notes:<\/strong>\r\n1. Dear Kieta. It is ok to call a foul on yourself. If someone calls a foul on you, don&#8217;t bitch about it. We watched. You hack.\r\n2. A very interesting play call to have Joe Marie shoot the game winner instead of AD Curt. Must&#8217;ve been a hunch like Kukoc instead of Scottie&#8230;..except Kukoc made it.\r\n3. It was great to see Lil Josh more aggressive and taking open shots.\r\n4. Welcome back Ben. I hope it lasts&#8230;..honestly.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"sportspress\"><div class=\"sp-section-content sp-section-content-logos\"><div class=\"sp-template sp-template-event-logos

sp-tab-content-content\" id=\"sp-tab-content-content\"><p>The reigning, defending, undisputed champs come out of the shoot week 1 versus league villain\u00a0Cole. KO was missing Lanzot and Newberry, and got Crazy Al to sub. C&amp;D was missing Wayne and Richie and replaced them with 1st Ballot HOF Boerdner. Normally in a Cole v Hughes game the sideline can expect to see fireworks. This game, not so much.<\/p>\n<p>Kellen and the rest of the Jets had a very effective offensive game plan. They used Tall Justin down on the block to get point blank looks. When he couldn&#8217;t get down there on his own, they screened for him to get into position. That my friends is some high level Grinders basketball. Tall Justin went for 25\/9 on 52% shooting, and was the answer for every C&amp;D run. Tantrumming Tommy was more like Triumphant Tommy. Mr. Hughes was extremely effective in scoring and running the Jets offense. He had a game high 26 points on 52% shooting to go along with a team high 11 rebounds. He used screens effectively to shoot 3&#8217;s and got out on the break for some easy buckets. Captain Kellen had a poor shooting game, but also directed the offense well, screened, and was a PITA on defense. Crazy Al was his usual athletic annoyance running around everywhere and getting to loose balls.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck and Duck was missing 2 big parts of their team, but got HOF E to sub. The strategy of captain Cole to spread the court and take open jump shots failed miserably in its first game. Chuck &#8220;3 for $1&#8221; Thomasulo shot <span dir=\"ltr\">2\/16<\/span> and generally looked out of rhythm. He did however, harass Crazy Al all game, holding him to 3\/8 shooting. &#8220;Bang Bang&#8221; Tirado was a little better, going <span dir=\"ltr\">4\/12<\/span>for 11 points and adding in 9 rebounds. He also did a masterful job in locking Kellen down and holding him to a -4 GAPE. E gave a great effort defensively but was a little undersized guarding Justin. Maybe it affected his shooting (<span dir=\"ltr\">4\/16 &#8211; 9 <\/span>points) or maybe it was playing back-to-back. Either way E struggled but not for lack of effort. Everytime I looked Cole was bricking another layup like he was Lil\u00a0Cuz. I have no idea how he had 25 points??? Cole did have a game high 33 GAPE and seemed to be the only consistency in the C&amp;D offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things from the game:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Tommy returned to MVPish form.<br \/>\n2. Tall Justin is a pain to stop when he&#8217;s not playing like Small Justin.<br \/>\n3. C&amp;D was up 25-17 late in the first half. They got to 32 with like 11 minutes left in the game. Ouch<br \/>\n4. Rumors swirl that Cole was so furious with their performance that he made the team forfeit in Week 2.<br \/>\n5. When will we see Wayne? When will we see Richie? Is Triado&#8217;s child already taller?<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 1 has come and gone, getting a new Grinders session underway.
