Game 7 recap 6/3/08

Zuricalaw.com Vs. Brandy Room Bandits

Members present and game grades:

Zeke (A-) – Didn't try to force the issue as much as he could've, missed some easy ones, but threw some sparkling assists

Mike B (B) – His long range touch someone was transferred to the Love Guru on the other squad, but hustled his way to the B grade

Ahmad (A-) – Groin is no longer an issue as he took it to the rack with authority

Joe H. (A+) – Played his best game of the year and stepped up and made some HUGE shots down the stretch to keep the game out of reach.

Mike T. (A) – Played his typical Chris Kaman like game, but his grade gets boosted by the almost alley-oop dunk

Jeremy (DNP) – rumor rolling thru the crowd that he was at the 10pm showing of Sex and the City.

Mike A (DNP) – Went to Bar A to hang out with 17 yr old girls. Was searching for his soul, then ultimately realized you cant find it at Bar Anticipation.

Spartans, Tonight we dine in Hell! - Leonidas

Our movie quote of the week aptly described the conditions in which we played last night. While the court itself was actually pretty decent, it felt like were playing ball in the 9th circle of hell. It was sweltering in there.

Zuricalaw.com came sprinting out of the gates, I honestly thought we were going to have to mercy rule the Bandits. However, two guys on their squad decided to steal Mike B's powers like in the latest installment of the Fantastic Four movie. They were literally en fuego considering it was an easy 103 degrees in the gym. The game was close throughout due to the decent play of the only two decent playing Indians I have ever seen play roundball.

Basically this game came down to Big Joes ferocity and his attitude that we were not losing the game. Essentially, whenever the Whiskey bandits made a run, Big Joe stepped up and hit a huge three, got a huge rebound or made a ridiculous driving layup. He played like Kobe will have to if the Lakers want to win.

The other members of the 5 man zuricalaw.com squad all contributed in their own way. Zosh hit some key 5 footers, ahmad hustled all over the gym, zurica made a mini-steve nash impersonation on some driving dishes and Mike B, realizing for the first time that you cant shoot 93% from behind the arc every game, showed us the other assets in his repertoire, which consisted of cutting up their zone and playing tight D.

2 special shout outs.

- I have wanted to throw an alley-oop to Zosh since probably 1994 and finally 14 years later it happened. It want a dunk mind you, but it was as close to a dunk possible that his 29 yr old white ankles will allow. Kudos Zosh and thank god for the high tops as you may have seriously injured your ankles last night if you were still wearing the 1995 asics.

- To Pina for being a great scorekeeper. Joe pointed out the brief flirtation with the Love Guru, but I'm gonna chalk that up to the fact that she was just distracting him and throwing him off his game.

In what will be a new feature for the recaps, Mike and I will be handing out a game ball to that games top contributor.

This weeks Game Ball goes to : Big Joe (well earned sir)

One more game before the playoffs. Lets keep the momentum going. And Mike B, if the hammy is barking, just rest up for the playoffs.

Zeke out.
