Season 2, Game 3 Recap

7/15/08

Zuricalaw.com v. Bugle Boys

Win

Team members present and game grades

Zuricalaw.com (B) - Had some nifty passes and played hard all game. Deduction in grade for forcing a few too many passes

Tanzosh (B+) - Has become a clutch foul shooter, who woulda thunk it.

Joe H (B) - Played his game, but didn't stand out as much as normal.

Ahmad (B+) - His hustle was exactly what we needed. Helped stave off a few Bugle boy runs

Tommy P (B+) - Came back to the court after a ten year hiatus and gave us quality David lee type minutes

Anicito (first half B-, second half A+, overall A) Tale of two cities with mike in this one. He looked disinterested in the first half, then somehow played like a modern day larry bird in the second half. I mean, for the love of god, the kid had a 4 point play. Hasn't been seen since the days of grandmama.

Betancourt - (DNP) Back spasms caused by heavy lifting of Styrofoam cup at work

Noey -(DNP) Playing little league (Didn't little league end when we were 13?)

Last night was all about 2 things, the near brawl and Anicito having the game of his life. Before the game he must've asked Zoltan from the movie BIG if he could be "the guy" for once in his life. Mike was actually "the one guy we have to stop" according to the Buglers. "This guys killing us", "Someone guard him", "He's their only shooter". These were some of the other comments heard. Mike was praying that this game was caught on tape somehow so he could show his kids somewhere down the line that he actually played "out of his mind" at least once. Kudos to Mike, I haven't seen shooting like that since i borrowed Tommy P's Peter North tape last fall.

As for the second big thing in last nights game. Zosh and graybeard from the other team went toe to toe about 3 times. It looked like Tyson, Holyfied was about to go down. My favorite part was when graybeards cousin had to step in and defend his honor cause "that's my cousin your messing with". Good job to get in their head Zosh.

Back to the game, huge thanks to our super sub Tommy P for stepping in and giving us some nice defense and much needed breathers. Tommy wanted me to remark on his dunk, but unless you're talking about that oreos and milk last night, I must've missed it.

Ahmad, Joe and yours truly all played solid games and it was just one of those times where we looked like a well oiled machine for pretty much most of the game. Probably one of the more enjoyable games I've played in a while. Although, i must say, 9:00 games are rough. I felt like a zombie waking up this morning.

Well, we're back over .500 and I don't plan on falling back under. Lets keep it up. Next week we play at a nicer gym I hear, so I'll see you all then.

Zurica out.
