Week 7 Results

Monday, 28 January 2008

Week 7 Results Friday Night at 7pm Spartans vs Money Crew The Money Crew came out guns a blazin vs the Spartans. The Spartans kept the game close with some clutch rebounds and put backs from Rex. In the second half the Money Crew permiter shots were not falling and the inside game of the Spartans began to wear down Money Crew. In the second half Sijo Jacob led the way with drives that carved up the Money Crew. The Money Crew players began to lose their composure, and Taksim was hit with a technical foul for misconduct. The Spartans showed a lot of energy and have taken their game to the next level. Next up for the Spartans is a reeling SWAT. Friday Night 8pm HitMen vs Dream Team This hard fought game found the Dream Team clicking on all cylinders. They played one of the best games they have played all season. The Dream Team began with Sekander Yosofi draining 2 consecutive three pointers. The Dream Team took a 20-2 lead and a 25-5 lead over the struggling Hit Men. The HitMen began to chip away on this lead specifically with dominant post play by Simran Lamba (27 points 14 rebounds). By the second half the HitMen had come all of the way back from the 20 point defecit. The Dream Team had some big threes by Parminder Mandar and drive after drive by Shaun Ramani. But with Shaun picking up his 5th foul and the Dream Team clinging to a lead with less than a minute left the HitMen were forced to foul to stop the clock. At this point the Dream Team lost their composure and it resulted in double technicals on the Dream Team and the HitMen. Both players were ejected from the game. With the Dream Team now missing the entire starting back court, the Dream Team relinquished the entire lead and the game was tied. With only 6 seconds to go the Dream Team missed a potential game winning shot, not once but twice when the rebound put back by Sekander just didn't go in. In over time the HitMen's Simran dominated and the only offense the Dream Team could muster was free throws, which just couldn't hit. Friday Night at 9pm Humans vs Basketballers In the game our online analysts on the message board picked to be the game of the week we found two power house teams ready to go at it. This game didn't disapoint. HUMANS were led by Yaseen who hit turn around jumper after turnaround jumper in the paint. Basketballers were passing the ball around until Nadeem would get the ball and he responded with 3 after 3 to keep the Basketballers in the game. This game was definitely hurt by the HitMen and Dream Team going way over their allocated time. The Humans played stifling defense on Talha keeping him out of the box and causing him to snap his consecutive double double streak. Shajeel drove in at will in the first half but after some adjustments the lane was closed by newcomer Waleed of the HUMANS. Sunday Night 5:30pm game Triple Threat vs SWAT This game had two teams still strugging to find their identity and to play consistent team ball. In the first half the two teams exchanged leads left and right with Abdullah and Joe from Triple Threat providing the spark for TT and Wasik and Davis providing the spark for SWAT. When the first half ended both teams seemed winded but SWAT held on to the lead, in the second half both teams battled, but after a few big rebounds were taken by Triple Threat they earned the lead. SWAT began to force the issue resulting in many turnovers and Triple Threat didn't miss those opportunities resulting in SWAT losing for their third consecutive loss. This loss coupled with a Dynasty win puts SWAT on the brink of playoff elimination. Sunday Night at 6:30pm Dynasty vs Force Dynasty came in missing 4 of their players and were playing a Force team that had shot themselves to a victory against the HUMANS. Force used the run and gun technique against Dynasty to keep the game close, but Dynasty began to pass the ball and control the paint with rebounding coming from Harpreet, Kunal, Yakin, and Sajed. The team was completely dominating the paint. Ahmad was hitting floaters and getting to the line. This game that began with Dynasty being undermanned became a game in which Force looked undermanned. Dynasty played a zone defense that negated a lot of the Force outside shooting as Ajesh, Tom, and Koshy couldn't really get going. This game was over by the middle of the second half as Dynasty pulled away for didn't look back.

Weekend updates

Sunday, 20 January 2008

UPDATE Please be advised that any team that has friends and family come to watch the game. We have to make sure that the friends and family respect the rules of keeping the gym clean and not bringing in any food or drinks. Secondly we have to make sure that when the games are over that we leave quickly, we have been having situations of the friends and family not leaving on time and instead shooting around in between time outs. There is to be no shooting around in between time outs or games, this court is for the teams that are playing that night only. Friday Night Results Spartans vs Dream Team This game featured the premiere match up of Shawn Ramani and Shahin Shirhkani vs Joe Varughese and the Spartans. This game went back and forth for a while and was close right to the end. Shawn had 15 points and 4 steals to lead the way. Both teams kept it close and ultimately a few big defensive stops by the Spartans sealed the deal vs the Dream Team. Money Crew vs SWAT This may not have been the game of the week on the message board but this was the game that everyone came out to see. There was a sizeable crowd on hand to watch the game. The game featured the Money Crew taking over the glass. They pushed and boxed out the SWAT team and took a commanding lead that they held. SWAT pulled within 6 but back to back 3 pointers by the Money Crew put away SWAT. The crowd was oohing and aahing with every Money Crew made basket. Basketballers vs Triple Threat This was the most talked about game on the message boards and this game didn't disapoint. This game came down to the wire between the Ballers and Triple Threat. The Basketballers went toe to toe with Triple Threat. Abdullah slashed to the basket, Joe controlled the glass, and Zebi Pirzada had some long three pointers. On the Basketballers front, Nadeem was hitting three pointers, and slashing to the basket, Zeeshan was providing strong interior defense along with some huge blocks, and last but not least another strong game by Talha who had control of glass for the Ballers. This game came down to the wire and due to some bad fouls by the Ballers, the Triple Threat were right there until the very end. Sunday Night Results Force vs Humans Force literally shot themselves to a victory today. Force had 12+ shots from behind the arc. Force drained three after three. The Humans could not capitalize near the end of the game even though Force gave them ample opportunities to get back in to the game with many ill advised fouls that caused the clock to stop. This game just proved that on a night where Force is hitting that many shots from behind the arc, that any team can look just human in front of them. Titans vs Dynasty Dynasty came closer than any team has come so far in defeating the mighty Titans. Dynasty actually went in to the half leading by 8, but the Titans came out really strong starting the second half and took the lead back from Dynasty within the first 3 minutes of the second half. Stanley had another dominant game with rebound after rebound, and had a few blocks to go with the rebounds. The Titans came close but Dynasty just seemed to fall apart near the end. The Titans streak continues.
