Recap
Game #1 Easton 48 – DTP 56
Guy’s first game as captain got off to a rough start as he started the game with only 4 players thanks to the Jays wild card game. Luckily Dave Robertson stepped in to fill the void until Dan Baker decided to make a late appearance. Gold apparently didn’t appreciate Dave’s help in the first quarter because he later got two elbows to the mouth. Luckily he escaped with all his chiclets intact. Surprisingly being short didn’t deter Gold with keeping it close all night as they decided to let Neil carry the weight and drop a measly 32 pts to open the season. Grant was up to the task dropping 29 himself as well as racking up the first tech of the season. Thankfully neither the tech nor the numerous missed bunnies from DTP were enough as DTP was able to weather any pushes from Gold and escape with a game 1 win.
Game #2 CCC 69 – DMB 82
Team red dominated most of the game with a well balanced attack. Led by captain Luke DMB had 5 players in double digits. Team CCC showed signs of light as captain Phil continued to make the shots he’s been known to make year after year but his 32 pts wasn’t enough to get his team out of the whole they had dug. Getting out rebounded one can only hope Lawson’s missed presence down low could have made this a closer game on the defensive and offensive ends. DMB with an easy one.
Game #3 KREO 67 – KRACO 64
It’s official captain Menzie will do whatever it takes to get out of the basement this year, and that includes changing his Jersey colour. Sporting the new Green look this was the game of the night. Back and forth throughout Koolhaas and Piercy took turns making it rain keeping the game close right done to the end. With a slip up from lefty near the end of the game jacking a three with a running clock early in the shot clock and only up a couple points Kraco had second life. Unfortunately they weren’t able to take advantage of the poor use of the clock and Menzie left the gym 1-0 for quite possibly the first time ever.
Prediction Record 3W – 0L
Week 2 Predictions
Game #1 Easton vs CCC
Lacking a full roster in week 1 a lot is still unknown about Guy’s team gold. One thing we do know is that CCC will need a better appearance than they had in week 1 if they want to grab their first win of the season. Both teams are hungry for a W, and both Phil and Neil will be weighted on heavily to get it. The team that finds some offensive help for those two will win this one. Team CCC’s struggles continue for another week and Guy gets his first BMBL Captaincy win.
Game #2 DTP vs KREO
Someone’s undefeated streak will quickly come to an end tonight. Menzie will try to build on last week’s success, while Grant is eager to show up and ruin his party. Grant will continue to dominate but the rest of his team will still struggle to help get points on the board. If Kreo can help keep Grants output to a minimum Menzie’s matchups prevail.
Game #3 DMB vs KRACO
DMB can run, shoot, and score as they showed in week 1 over CCC, but they are lacking in the height department. Without a true centre the height of team Kraco could cause problems for DMB unless their shooting with Albrecht and Hoogsteen can help keep the floor spread. With the addition of Bubba to an already big team in week 1 George will have the definite height advantage in this one and should have an advantage on the boards. This one should be close but size matters regardless of what your wife tells you.
