#4 How Much Jam ya Got man? 59 vs. #22 What would Scooby do? 39
What would Scooby do? never figured out what to do in this game. Right from the start Scooby was JAMed on. JAM played their usual up-tempo style and Scooby had no way to stop it. The playoff picture does not look good at all for Scooby. Basically mathematically out of it, they dont have much to play for any more.
Standout:
Peter McNitt playing very well like always. Leading his team in many categories. He is one of the few stars in this league that does not plat every second of the game. He is not focused on winning the MVP or his stats. If you ask him, he will say that its more important that his team won then his personal stats.
#5 Blazers Era 26 vs. #9 Callahan *buffucers 28 OT
This game started off very slowly in the Stage gym with the score 12-3 at the end of the first half. The lowest scoring first half this entire year. Getch said "the only reason that we won this game is because we played in the stage gym and got to use our speed against them. Blazers Era outscored team Callahan in the second half by 9 points, but in another overtime game, buffucers ends up on top. Many members the league are convinced that Blazers Era is the most over rated team in the league.
Standout:
Mick Parks is for sure the best player on their team and continued to be a clutch performer. Racking up 10+ points and being a leader on offense and defense, he gets the game ball again.
#8 Big G All Day 38 vs. #16 JSCF 28
This one was a "ugly game" says Big Gs captain David Berlinghof. Big G actaully shot under 20% from the field. "Michael may have taken more then 50 shots" says captain Berlinghof. JSCF may be considered the smallest team in the league, they have no size! Towards the end of the game JSCF started to foul and once again teams made their free-throws to lock up another W.
Standout:
No one thinks that any one in this game had double figures. A low scoring game with a lot of balance. The game ball here I gotta give the game ball here to the team of BIG G.
#11 No Sympathy 35 vs. #12 Sacson 5 31
Two relatively evenly matched squads squared off wednesday, where No Sympathy edged out their opponent in a sleeper Sacson 5 team. One would not have anticipated the outcome as No Sympathy found themselves down 12-20 at the half, a deficit that can be hard to make up in short Night League games. Edrick Chu shot and drove well to get his team up early. However, he lost his stride when the second half began as No Sympathy shot near flawlessly in the home stretch of the game. Stu Haley rattled home a few free throws at the end of the game to secure his team four point win.
Standout:
Game ball goes to Stu "The Lanky One" Haley and Sam Thomas, each with 12 points, in what was a less than comfortable four point victory.
#18 Where Brooklyn At? 46 vs. Nuclear Octopi 22
The Octopi continued to be the biggest joke in Night League, and once again wasted the time of another team, as they have done on wednesdays for the three past years. Sadly enough Steve Lampert before the game said "I'm nervous that theres a chance we could lose". Even though the Octopi have yet to win a game in their careers, there are still some unconfident teams afraid of losing to them. They chucked up half courters the entire game and gave away careless baskets on the inbounds to contribute to Matt Wolfe's 27 pts.
Standout:
Matt Wolfe with an impressive 27, no matter what team you're playing against its hard to score 27, so that gets him the game ball.
#14 TWAT 18 vs. #3 Big Trouble in Little China 36
Big Trouble came out blazing this week, doubling their opponents score. They played well in the first half, but a struggling TWAT team essentially gave up in the second half resorting to granny style half courters. TWAT had trouble getting down low in the first half and wasn't getting any calls when they did find their way down in the paint. Big Trouble didn't play especially well in the first half but looked professional next to atrocious shooting from TWAT, who scored 6 first half points. From what NTJNL can decipher, Big Trouble is a good team but certainly not #3 material.
Standout:
Kyle Nittiss with 16, although most of them were uncontested layups late in the second half.
#17 Big D Legends 36 vs. #20 Semaca 31
Big D Legends let by their LA forward Peter McGuire tally another win. Are these sudden wins coming too late? Most of us think so considering that 3-4 most likely wont make the playoffs, but they do still like to ruin teams chances. With this lose team Semaca really establishes themselves as one of the worst teams in the league. Even though the game was close everyone knew that Big D would win.
Standout:
Peter McGuire gets another game ball to put in his room. Racking up 15+ points and "he beasted kids on D" (Lee Weir). He is the main reason why they won this game. Congrats Peter on another Game Ball.
#1 Bella Mafia 30 vs. #21 Team Flanagan 34
This Game was the best game of the entire year. Hint the red font will grab peoples attention. One of the worst teams in the league took down the #1 ranked team the other night. This was by far the biggest upset of year. Flanagan who got blown out by many teams and coming of a 30+ point lose to How Much Jam ya Got man? really came alive in this game. Even though two of Bella Mafias star players in Chad Sawyer and Mac Anderson were not there, Mafia has enough talent that they should have killed Flanagan. Captain Brian Flanagan said after the game "We all just played really good, the last games we all sucked, and this game we just play pretty good" Eventhough their playoff chances are most likely over, look for them to make a run for the silver shoe.
Standout:
I gotta give the game ball to Team Flanagan, beating the best team in the league is a huge statement: not only for the rest of this season, but going into next look for them to be future bracket busters.
#15 Milk was a Bad Choice 57 vs. #10 Off in the Woods 43
Classic Night League game. Close game at half, which developed into steady lead-building in the second half. Off in the Woods proved they need to work on their ball handling as they turned the ball over on every other posession in the second half. Both teams shot well which kept the score high. The game was capped off by a reverse dunk by Milk's Bennett Wakenight, the second reported Night League dunk for the class of 2011's class. Clearly as it was a reverse he is already comfortable dunking so we look forward to others in the future.
Standout:
Bennett Wakenight, aside from the dunk he also had 16 pts. The team had balanced shooting all around.
