Men’s League Winter 2016-2017 Week7 Results

on Jan 29, 2017 in Basketball, Basketball Blog, Events, Men's Basketball

Team Standings [table id=24 /] Game1 – Black at Red (“Hamza Heat Edition”)   Takeaways: Hamza came out blasting this game hitting 9 of 20 beyond the arc. He finished with 35 and Black could not stop him and his partner Afan with his own 27. Myro struggled but Kanav was mugging players all night with 6 steals Even with Ian and Mike scoring 14, Christian and crew could not overcome the barrage of 3s game stats Game2 – Purple at Green (“Don’t Mess with the Ref-Roland Edition”)   Takeaways: Relatively easy night for the Purple squad with the automatic default win as once again Green continued to struggle with their roster. Who steps in, Roland decides to lace it up and show some of the youngbloodz how to score 28! 6 for 12 beyond the arc and 5 for 9 inside. I’ll bet someone will pic this ref up on their squad next season. Arvin was Picasso all night with his paintbrush finishes in the paint all night and dropping 23 in the losing effort. Marcus, Santi and Robin did not take the game lightly and continued with their attack scoring at least 20pts each. game stats Game3 – Gold at Carolina (“Ervin-Effect Edition”)   Takeaways: Carolina was coasting until Ervin showed up! Gold had a balanced attack with huge contributions from Bob’s 11 and Edward’s 12. Carolina relied on Kevin, Alejandro and Allan all night. With full court press in place, a late come back was spoiled with a big three from Marwin. game...

Men’s League Winter 2016-2017 Week6 Results

on Jan 29, 2017 in Basketball, Basketball Blog, Events, Men's Basketball

Team Standings [table id=24 /] Game1 – Carolina at Black   Takeaways: Welcome back Alejandro! … dropping 10 fresh from his vacation. Odd stat, Black team out-rebounded Carolina on the offensive boards 12-2 and still loses game. Overall the difference was on the charity stripes with Carolina making 15 of 20 game stats Game2 – Green at Red (“Trade Edition”)   Takeaways: A first for the league, with only four players on Green, Red gave up Afan combined with two other guests and allowed the game to count. Those guests combined for 43 of the 70 points scored hence the victory Myro went bananas with his 25 for the Red team but it was clear they needed their MVP Afan as they couldn’t pull out the victory, staining their perfect record With 14 steals and 15 more points inside the arc, Green was able to pull out the win game stats Game3 – Gold at Purple (“Santi-Tekounmpo Edition”)   Takeaways: Another close game between this LA LA Land matchup! It was back and forth with these two squads and it was enjoyable to watch Marwin extending his range hitting 2 3’s while Murphy was ‘Sherwin-Williams’ all night ….. doing all his work in the paint dropping 15. Santi-Tekounmpo put his team on his back and delivered but the unsung hero late was Joseph hitting 6 for 6 on the free throw line ultimately making the game out of reach for Gold game...

Men’s League Winter 2016-2017 Week5 Results

on Jan 14, 2017 in Basketball Blog, Events, Fall Ball, Men's Basketball

Team Standings [table id=24 /] Game1 – Black at Green (“Father and Son Edition”)   Takeaways: Not often do you see a father and son competing against each other. Soundbites from Rio before his game with Macky, “No Mercy!” He wasn’t lying because Team Black finally gets their first win of the season! On the expense of a Pat injury though 🙁 Get well with that ankle sprain Pat! I think Richard, Rick and Mike were the difference makers with Ian breaking out with 18 points. Good team effort on this night so it paid off. game stats Game2 – Carolina at Purple (“Old Bloodz vs Young Bloodz Edition”)   Takeaways: Another OT thriller for the Purple squad but this time losing out on the veteran Carolina team. A little biased you may say but this was an up and down game with multiple lead changes. The Kevin and Dee show kept Carolina close and ultimately winning in OT. Chris A hit a big left corner three to hush the naysayers and Dee had the block of the year! He must have had R. Kelly’s “I believe I can fly” track on heavy rotation. Charlie pulled out a flu game performance with his 11 pts. Carolina was huffin and puffin without Allan and Alejandro for sure. Team Purple was happy to get Richard back and he was gang-busters all night dropping shots from midrange to 3 pointers to drives to the hoop. Complete game but just fell short. The bucket exchange leading up to overtime was bananas. Santi attacked the paint with his 12. Jose continues to hit big late game shots and also put the lock down on Charles on the last play forcing overtime. game stats Game3 – Red at Gold (“Chef Afan with the shot boi!”)   Takeaways: Highest score in a game, in the history of the league was posted on this night! Give it up for Afan for dropping 48 on the Gold squad that I thought had a chance to finally give this team their first lost Ervin was dropping cross overs left and right, while the Murphy-Joel connection converted on multiple 3pointers Red team continues to set the shooting bar high, you must pick them up at half court because you never know they might pull up on you at half. Myro was cold for the night but that didn’t matter because someone needed to hose down the office of Saleem-Saddique because it was on fire! Afan hit 10 3s while Hamza finished with 5.  Kanav’s best game so far with high efficiency of going 6 for 9 Don’t be shocked, but the game is evolving …. Team Red went 16 for 57 3 pointers. Yes that’s 57 attempted 3 pointers, 3ball is the new dunk! game stats This is what it feels like when you’re playing this Red...

Men’s League Winter 2016-2017 Week4 Results

Team Standings [table id=24 /] Game1 – Purple at Black   Takeaways:   ‘Battle of the Winless’ went down as one of the best games of the season needing two overtimes to get a decision. Jose with a big left corner three to take it to first overtime and ‘Santi’ Claus delivered the presents for the black team in the second overtime with a huge 3 of his own, ballgame! If you had 6 more turnovers and did not protect the boards from 15 offensive big ones then there’s a good chance you might loose. Team black hopes 2017 will be a whole different story game stats Game2 – Red at Carolina   Takeaways:   ‘Battle of the Undefeated’ went down as a classic with Carolina getting a chance to tie late in the game but fell short with some questionable calls 🙂 Red went 19 for 37 in 3-pointers, apparently Carolina didn’t get the memo that these are a group of snipers, with Myro and Hamza leading the attack. Afan was somewhat contained with his below average 18pts Rd 2 of round robin should be awesome! With Carolina missing a couple of key pieces in Dee and Alejandro, they still managed to keep this game close. Kevin finished with 25 while Charles finished with 16 Red was so efficient that they took 11 less shots than the opponent and still took got the victory, team to beat for sure as they remain perfect for the season! game stats Game3 – Green at Gold   Takeaways:   Hats  off the the green team as this proved to be the upset of the night! Considering they didn’t have their big man in Carlo, Nowell stepped up with 12 boards to help out the squad. Ford continues his super efficient performance shooting 9-for-13, nearly 70%. Bal lit it up with his 5 3-pointers Ervin “Tim Hortons” Campbell did his usual damage, with double-doubles! 22 pts, 17 boards and 7 assists ….. I have no doubt he will get the triple dip before the season is over. Keep in mind Dexter and Marwin was not dressed for this game and gold really needs Bob back from that ankle injury but Alvin Sr. played a huge part in this game with his 12 pts game summary is almost even across the board but green hitting more 3’s I think was the difference game...

Men’s League Winter 2016-2017 Week3 Results

on Dec 17, 2016 in Basketball, Basketball Blog, Events, Fall Ball, Men's Basketball

Game1 – Black at Gold Takeaways: Rio stepped up for team black this week scoring 12 on 4 3 pointers, still not enough with Christian’s 20 to get them their first win for the season Big night for Alvin Jr. scoring 19 for team gold having a super efficient game going 8 for 11 inside the arc Murphy chipped in with 10, while Ervin did his usual with 17 and monster 19 on the boards looking at the side by side, the black team’s loss could be caused by having more turnovers game stats   Game2 – Purple at Red Takeaways: Purple squad is also quickly realizing this league is no joke as they too are facing an 0 and 3 start. Lots of fouls committed got the Red team in early bonus The Red ‘Huskies’ of North Delta continued to howl with their main scorers in Afan (28), Hamza (22) and Kanav (16). Can they go 4-0 in week4? This is what you call a ‘volume’ game, between the two teams … 45 shots converted out of 123! Whoa, good thing we don’t have a shot clock in this league game stats     Game3 – Carolina at Green Takeaways: Give the game ball to Carlo for team green in week3, 7 for 8 in the field finishing with 14pts. Louie finally came and dropped 8 pts for his first game with the squad Give the game ball to James for team carolina, James went off with 24 pts going 7 for 15 beyond the arc. Even with a depleted roster, all players scored that night and found a way to win, together. They remain 3 and 0. game...
