Players present and Game grades

Zuricalaw.com (B) - Wasn't assertive on offense as stated loudly by Joe, but had zero turnovers for maybe the first time ever

Ahmad (B+) - Attacked like a beast but needs to start hitting his open threes

Mike B (B) - Was off from downtown but scored from 5 feet all night

Zosh (B) Held his own against Muresan, but his mind was more on the boys and birds last night

Josh (B+) - Played suffocating D and picked us up when we needed

Bergs (B) - Slightly hesitant at first, but then hit a few long threes and some nice drives

Joe H (B) - Played a Joe game, controlled the boards and didn't hurt us anytime he was on the court, if this was hockey he'd be +15

Game 2 on the quest for an undefeated season. The lawmakers walked into the gym and some 6'10" guy was throwing down monster dunks. Alas it was the last time their team would put the ball thru the hole for about 20 minutes. I literally thought we could have shut them out if we tried really hard. They actually wound up with about 24 points which amazed me, considering the rim could have been about ten feet wide and they still wouldn't have broke thirty.

As for our squad, I know some guys were pissed that we didn't win by 30 and that it seemed like we didn't go for the kill all game, but I beg to differ. We did exactly what we needed to do to win and everyone played a good game absent some mental lapses here and there which are
expected when you play a team like that. I liked mikey b, ahmad, and bergs attacking the basket strong at times, I liked josh gettin all up in their grills as soon as they passed halfcourt, and I really liked Joe and zosh keeping almost every rebound in the air and giving us a lot of second chances. What I didn't like was my ugly airball. (I didn't forget it bergs).

We're one quarter of the way to our goal of an undefeated season and I know that somewhere along the road we're gonna run into a tough team, but I think if we play like we are capable there will be no way these teams will beat us.
