Last Week of the Season! There are some changes made on the schedule so check your schedule for game
times! Remember we start at 4pm this Sunday! And playoffs are right around the corner are you ready!
The Rainmakers
were without some key players (#17 Shun Gokita), and did not enough firepower to hang with the Rat Pack with a full squad.
A new key addition (#33 Malik Vayanna) helped to improve the Rat Pack inside play. Rat Pack looks like they are ready for
the playoffs. They lost to the Teddy Bears in the championship by 2 points last season, and look to take the crown this season.
Practice Squad 48 Sand Brothaz 39
Practice Squad played excellent defense and shut down one of the leagues top scoring teams. They fustrated Sand Brothaz
with their collasping defense down in the paint. We will see how far they can go in the playoffs without their top scorer
(#3 Trevor Callendar).
Max-Out 64 Supreme
Court 62
Max-Out played very well for most of the game and fell asleep. They had a 15 point lead
and let Supreme Court tie the game late, lead by #4 Duane Delresario with 26 points. But Max-Out's superstar #23
Bo Noung hit the go ahead jumper and willed them to victory with 38 points. Max-Out has won two in a row after losing 5 to
start the season. They seem to be peaking at the right time since the playoffs are right around the corner.
Sand Brothaz take the top spot in their division with this win, plus currently
have the best record the league with only one lost. #33 Ali Mokad is one of the leading candidates for this season's MVP
award scoring his league season high of 36 points. The Sand Brothaz also set a league record by hitting 12, 3-pointers in
this game. The whole team at one point in this game could not miss from outside.
Max-Out
58 Air Punjab 42
Max-Out finally gets a win! Max-Out finally did not self-destruct
as everyone played good defense and pitched in for their first victory. #15 Sam Chan lead on the defensive end with 5 steals
in the game. So is Max-Out ready to get over the hump? They have the talent, we will see if they can put some wins together
before the playoffs.
GT Rainmakers 70 Practice Squad 61
Practice Squad is not the same without Trevor Calendar, who is out for the season with an ankle injury. Trevor
provided consistent scoring and defense, which they really lack right now. But the rainmakers have an emerging superstar in
#17 Shun Gokita. He just fills up the stat sheet every game and great in the open floor. They way he's playing they can
give the Teddy Bears a challenge for the championship.
Supreme Court keeps rolling with their
fourth win. With Jessie anchor the paint they are looking to be a real contender for the the league championship. The addition
of veteran guard #4 Duane Delrosario (28 points) this seems to be a great pick up for them. He has added a steady confidence
to their lineup. Especially when he is stroking the 3 pointer like he was this game.
Max-Out
48 Atl Rat Pack 53
Max-Out still winless! The only winless team in the league keeps making
crucial mistakes that costs them game after game. But this team might be the most dangerous 0-5 team in the league, so don't
count them out yet. But maybe they are as bad as their record is. Rat Pack keeps squeaking out wins like good teams
do. They still haven't look sharp this season though. But a win is a win no matter how you do it.
Teddy Bears
52 Practice Squad 51
Practice Squad was hit with a technical foul early in game because of an
illegal player. That technical might have costs them the game, losing by only one point. Deng the illegal player was played
on another team and did not notify the league of changing teams (you are not allowed to play for more than one team in a season).
But Deng was allowed to play and almost help his team beat the Teddy Bears, but got the ball stolen at the end of the game
by Daniel Yoon to seal the victory for the Teddy Bears. The Teddy Bears this season, do not seem to have that edge the usually
have over most teams. For whatever the reason they just don't dominate teams like they use to. Great teams keep winning
though, thats what makes them great.
The Teddy Bears seem to be even with most
teams when they do not have Thomas Byrd. But they still have Billy Kim and an emerging superstar in Daniel Yoon (22 points)
to get them some tough wins. Supreme Court played good enough to win but couldn't hit shots down the stretch.
Practice Squad 38 Atl Rat Pack 60
Practice Squad were without
their best player Trevor Calendar and it showed. They struggled all game offensively and their defense wasn't any better.
The score could have been a lot worse. Rat Pack continues to pull out wins, but can they finally put together a championship
season.
Sand Brothaz 62 GT Rainmakers 60
This was a tight game
from start to finish. The Sand Brothaz two man attack of Usman Choudhry (30 points) and Ali Mokdad (27points) was enough to
take out the balanced GT Rainmakers. This game was basically 5 guys verses 2 the whole game. Usman is showing that he is one
the top players in the league with his non-stop hustle and scoring ability.
Supreme Court's 6'7 center Jessie Winchester is showing every week that he is more
than just an improved player. He is showing that he is a force to be dealt with. The Rainmakers had no answer for Jessie.
He had a career game vs the Rainmakers with 22 points and grabbing 18 rebounds. If Jessie keeps this up he is looking like
an early canidate for league MVP!
Rat Pack 49 Air Punjab 43
Rat Pack get
back on their winning ways again, but they still don't look like one of the top teams in Atlanta without their big man
Ali Igbal. But a win is a win. And Air Punjab looks good one week and so so the next. #29 Jaspal Bathal is struggling really
bad this season only scoring 3 points this game also.
Max-out 53 Teddy
Bears 64
Max-Out seems to be improving, but they are still no match for the Teddy Bears at full strength. They
are still winless in the league and winless against the Teddy Bears. Max-Out actually had an 8 point lead in this game, but
the sharpshooting of Billy Kim (5 3 pointers) snapped the Teddy Bears two game losing streak. The Teddy Bears have never lost
in league play with Billy Kim in their lineup.
