Finnegans 2009 Game 1 Recap

Finnegans v Healys Comets W (1-0)

Players present and game grades

Zupa (A+) Great coaching job by Zupa

Pedro (B+) Came back strong after his yearlong travel in the arctic

Bugout (B) Coming off an injury, played his usual gutsy game.

Juan (B) A little tentative at first, but played hard as well

Anthony Z (B) showed some guts by coming out with one ankle in the second half

Anthony P (B+) Dwight Howardesque on the block, hit 2 huge free throws

Mr. Anderson (said that in my Mr. Smith voice from the Matrix) (B) – This newcomer fit in nicely with the team

Bryant (B) – Acknowledged his rustiness but had a solid game nonetheless



The boys in Green came out looking for revenge. Lamars shot is still seared into everyones brain. Being one inch away from the chip is a tough place to be for this long.

Luckily the schedule gods gave us this rematch right off the bat so we could pull it off quick like a band-aid.

While we never really hit our stride it was more than obvious that Anthony P and Zup did a great job with our free agent signings. Bryant and Mr. Anderson both bring different things to the squad and these are things that will hopefully lead us to what we missed out on last year.

Healys played their usual game which is – give it to Dunleavy and get out of the way. He did his best to singlehandedly keep them in the game.

It looked like the game was headed to overtime when the 8’9” guy on their team thought we were inbounding on the sidelines with one second left, however we were under the basket and Anthony P threw a lob alley-oop to Mr. Anderson from out of bounds and we won (ok the lob alley oop didn’t happen, but it was still a cool play).

Game 2 against Russo and Team x coming up
