Zuricalaw.com v. Edelmania
7/22/08
Loss

Team members present and game grades

Zuricalaw.com (C+) - didn't have too many errors, but didn't assert himself at all on either end of the court. Needs to get in much better game shape.

Noel (B-) had some nice shots and played solid, just not enough (as with the rest of the team)

Mike B (B-) Had a good game shooting, but was one of 3 that tried and failed to stop the Hebrew hammer from scorching us on offense

Ahmad (B-) Another third of the Hebrew hammers victims. Tried to assert his will on offense, but just another case of not enough for the zuricalawyers

Joe H (B-) Combined with our other big man to miss a total of 79 layups and put backs. Other then that played some nice D, but was petrified of the 2.5 mile court

Gantor (B-) Made his debut with the boys in tan and had a decent game. As aforementioned, combined with Joe to pull a 2 half Charles Smith Act.

Zosh (DNP) - Went to tenjune with Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher

Anicito (DNP) - was too scared to come back to earth after his career game last week and decided to skip the match

Noel and I arrived at the gym (or dungeon) pretty early and as we were sitting there, a few teams showed up. Out of the three other teams there it was obvious as to which one I wanted to play. Their team was talking about google/microsoft for about 20 minutes and they had a guy that looked exactly like the kid from Family Guy that wants to date Meg (see pic).






Unfortunately for us, the kid turned out to be the second coming of Ray Allen. He scored about 45 of their 73 points. I've never seen someone shoot that well. He made Anicitos game of last week look like little league. And even besides the Hebrew Hammer, the rest of their squad also shot about 95% from the field.


You guys know I hate recapping losses, so I'm not going to go that much further, but some of the problems last night were poor rebounding, not getting back on D, not hustling on offense, missing easy buckets, etc... With all that we did a decent job to cut the lead to 44-40 at the beginning of the second half, but it just seemed that for every 3 we made, they made 4 more. It goes without saying Mike and Mike would have made a big difference last night. Also special thanks to super sub Gantor for coming down and helping us out.


I know i didn't emphasize how ridiculously big that court was, but lets just say the Steve Prefontaine would have taken one look at it and said "damn".


Right now, we're 2-2 and we honestly cannot afford too many more losses if we want to make the playoffs. Next week we have a much needed bye, so lets rest up and come out strong for the second half of the season.
