WILDCARD and ROUND 1 Recaps

Jumpmen (73) v. Pandas (39) Today started out with Jumpmen on a mission. They began the game by blitzing their opponent with a 21-7 1st qtr lead and never looked back. Defeating the Pandas 73-39! The Jumpmen were led out of the gates by Joe Santos playing big with a double-double (15pts 10reb) and Joachim playing his part with 14pts 5reb. The short handed Pandas were led by Joe's 20pts 7reb and by Will's 8pts 8reb.

  FULL GAME: Jumpmen came to play!

Bay Area Kings (59) v. City Stars (53) The City Stars came out on fire! All of their field goals made were 3pt shots until Ant H hit a layup with 4:58left in the half! They took a commanding lead into the half, 36-29. The Stars were led by Ant H (17pts 7reb) and Mike R (15pts) who was perfect from the field. The Bay Area Kings stepped up the defense in the second half limiting the Stars to 17 second half pts while scoring 30pts. The Kings were led by Ivan (23pts 6reb 4stls) and TK (15pts 8reb).

 FULL GAME: Kings strong second half prove to be too much for the stars

Tenacious D (65) v. Islanders (55) Alert the officials...we had a Milan sighting in the 65-55 victory over the Islanders. Milan who had been struggling with his stroke scored 15pts scoring 12 of the 14pts his team scored in the second qtr. Ronnie took over the scoring duties in the second half as he scored 23pts (10-13 from the field). The Islanders were led by Tone (24pts) and Booba (16 pts). The Islanders need to bring a solid 7 or 8 players next season if they want to make a run at the championship.

                            FULL GAME: Islanders let one slip away in the 4th quarter.

Jumpmen (53) v. PayProTec (55) This was the game of the day! The 9th seeded Jumpmen battled the top seed PayProTec. PPT was short their man in the middle, Moe. While Jmen's big man, Joe Santos, was back in the fold. Jmen carried the lead through the 3rd qtr but PPT played "Simon says". Simon scored a game high 35pts (10-13 from the field) to lead the team. Santos (20pts 5reb) and 15pts from Joachim made it close. The game came down to a 3pt shot from the corner by Joerdan that came up a bit short! Good season Jumpmen! I'm sure we haven't heard the last from you...

  FULL GAME: GAME OF THE WEEKEND!

Tenacious D (34) v. Rangers (54) The Tenacious D just ran out of gas. TD's Ronnie had 12pts 7reb and Tony chipped in with 10pts 5reb but it was far from enough to defeat the 2nd ranked Rangers. The Rangers were led in scoring by Tay (29pts on 6-13 from 3pt range) and Szeto (10pts 8reb). The Rangers clamped on the "D" in the 2nd half...holding TD to 4pts in the 3rd qtr (12pts in the 2nd half)! Nice work Tenacious D!

  FULL GAME: Rangers continue to show their Power

Dawgs (58) v. Eagles DC (48) Eagles DC came into the game a little short handed...losing top scorer, Arj to a fractured hand. EDC kept it close behind John Calara's 17pts 4reb and 10pts from Uriel. The Dawgs were led by Ryan Sera (20pts 9reb) and "Big" John Maldonado's double-double (10pts 10reb). Maldonado also striped a 3pointer to show off his range! I look forward to another good season from the Eagles DC...

                                        FULL GAME: Dawgs clicking at the right time

SUNDAYS - Final Four Preview!!

PayProTec:  PayProTec is undefeated but showing some cracks. No Moe. No Sean. More trouble. Can PPT win on the outside shooting of Simon?! If all their players show up they are the odds on favorite...but if they don't the championship is up for grabs. Their first opponent are the Dawgs. With their young, upbeat style can give PPT trouble. The Maldonado boys will be a handful for PPT.

Rangers:  The Rangers are playing well at the right time. If they can control the game they can win. Tay and Tak are playing on another level. Tak needs to control the ball and run the offense. Inside Szeto needs to play the tough "D" and with the help of JMac off the bench the Rangers will be a lot to handle. Their defense will be challenged by Ivan and TK. I see a lot of points in this #2 v. #3 battle.

Bay Area Kings: The Kings have a hard road ahead of them. They have to get by the Rangers and beat the winner of PPT and Dawgs! All four teams have a chance to win it all. TK needs to led his team with his stellar performance and Ivan needs to continue his high scoring to give Kings a chance to win. The Kings also need a big helping of Elton on the boards versus the likes of Szeto and JMac.

Dawgs:  The Dawgs are the fourth seed but they are not playing like a fourth seed! Behind the play of the Maldonado boys, the Dawgs will be a tough out! They will be challenged from the jump. Ryan Sera and Dez will have to step up their game. Their shooting from the outside will help balance the offense. If those things can happen then the Dawgs will be a tough out for PPT.

SUNDAY PLAYOFF BRACKET!

WEEK 6 RECAPS and FULL GAMES!

Dawgs (55) v. Jumpmen (42) This was a battle of the young guns (Dawgs) versus the grizzly old veterans (Jumpmen). The Jumpmen led after the first qtr but the Dawgs led by Ryan S (18pts 7reb) and Janes Maldonado (10pts 8reb) took control of the game winning the last three qtrs. Jmen were led by Joachim (16pts 11reb) and CQ's (15pts 4reb) performance in a losing effort.

FULL GAME: Dawgs finish the regular season strong

City Stars (72) v. Islanders (71) This was the game of the day! These two teams battled all the way to the end with the lead changing on a dime. Ant H came through with a double-double with 19pts 11rebs and DJ added 17pts 6reb to help the City Stars outlast the Islanders in a thrilling game! The Islanders were led by Tony (19pts 5rebs) and Buba (16pts 6asts 3rebs).

 FULL GAME: City Stars wins the game of the day!

Rangers (56) v. Eagles DC (46) Despite having a 1pt 2nd qtr...the Rangers behind the 23pt performance from Tay out dueled the Eagles DC 56-46! Along side Tay's heroics, the Rangers were aided by Szeto's 11pts 7reb. The Eagles DC on the other hand were led by a great game by Arj (25pts 3reb 3stl) and the 3pt shooting of Drew (12pts 4-7 behind the arc).

 FULL GAME: Tay continues his scoring spree

Tenacious D (71) v. Pandas (48) Tenacious D had only 6 players show for the game but that was enough to beat the 5man team of the Pandas! The Pandas started the game with 4 players and did not get their fifth until Will showed up in the 2nd quarter. By that time it was too late. The lead was 21-12 and it only got worse for the Pandas. Led by Ray's 19pt 11reb and 17pts off the bench by Lloyd, TD cruised to a 71-48 victory. Pandas were led, in defeat, by Joe (25pt 10reb) and Wally (18pts 6reb 2stls). If they can get their team to show up they'll be a force to be reckoned with.

 FULL GAME: Short handed Pandas need their squad to show up!

PayProTec (58) v. Bay Area Kings (39) Bay Area Kings gave PayProTec all they could handle for 3qtrs but the veteran leadership provided PayProTec a 19pt victory. Moe dominated inside with 23pts and 11rebs and Sunny chipped in with 17pts. The Kings were led by TK's 13pt 6reb and Ivan's 11pt 8reb performance.

FULL GAME:PayProTec completes the perfect regular season! 

WEEK 5 RECAPS and FULL GAMES!

Dawgs (77) v. Pandas (48) The Dawgs came out strong behind the three point shooting of Karlo (21pts 8-16 from the field 4-9 behind the arc) and the fierce inside play of James Maldonado (21pts 10reb 10-13 from the field). The Pandas were led by Joe S (18pts 5reb) and Wally N (16pts 2reb). The Pandas had a cold shooting day from long distance (3-20) which led to their dimise.

 FULL GAME: Dawgs cruise to the victory.

Rangers (79) v. Islanders (57) The combination of Szeto (14pts 14reb) and Tay (25pts 6reb 5ast) were too much for the Islanders on this day. Off the bench JMac went 8-10 from the field for 19pts to secure the victory. Booba (26pts 5reb) and Fale (13pts 5reb) led the depleted squad. Once they get all their players to show up I think that the Islanders will be a team to be reckoned with.

FULL GAME: Rangers continue to roll!

Dawgs (48) v. Bay Area Kings (53) This game was a tight one throughout but there was too much Ivan! The guard scored a game high 33pts 6reb 4stls. Elton was able to chip in 10pts 5reb. On the Dawgs side of the board they were led by another strong performance by James (19pts on 9-16 shooting and he collected 6rebs). The Dawgs may have been a bit tired from playing their 2nd game of the day. They just ran out of gas in the 4th quarter.

FULL GAME: Kings pull away from the Dawgs

PayProTec (65) v. Jumpmen (61) This was another nail biter! Jumpmen jumped out to an early 22-15 lead over PayProTec behind the scoring of Jochim (27pts 12reb) and CQ (13pts 5reb). But without any subs the Jumpmen faltered in the second half falling to the 3pt shooting of PPT. Without the inside presence that they usually have PPT had to change up their game plan a tad. Bombs away! Behind Simon (23pts 7reb 6asts) and Sean Caiola (19pts 4-6 from 3) they did just about enough to hold off the Jumpmen.

FULL GAME: Jumpmen give PayProTec a scare, but not enough

Tenacious D (53) v. Eagles DC (59) Eagles DC came out strong behind Drews' 16pt 1st quarter and Rel (12pts 3reb 6asts) running the point was too much for Tenacious D. On the other hand Tenacious D, without their leader and birthday boy Lloyd, were led by Ray (16pts 7reb) and Ronnie (12pts 6reb 3asts). TD put on a late rush to cut the 15pt deficit to 3 but they ran out of gas to finish the job as EDC held on to the victory 59-53.

FULL GAME: Eagles spoil Lloyd's birthday!

Week 4 RECAPS and FULL GAME FOOTAGE

Bay Area Kings (47) v. Tenacious D (44) F/OT A defensive battle between these two upstart teams came down to the wire. Tenacious D's Tony (15pts 5reb) hit a last second, game-tying shot with 00.1 seconds on the clock. Unfortunately for TenD, there was too much of the tandem of TK (24pts 5reb) and big man Hamilton (14pts 13reb). On a side note, Hamilton was supposed to join TenD, but decided not to add him to the roster because they thought he was too tall! But after the commish measured the center and found out that he met the 6'2 height limit he joined the Kings. Sorry Tenacious D!

 FULL GAME COVERAGE: Kings pull off the OT victory!

Eagles DC (68) v. Jumpmen (56) After an exciting first half that saw the Jumpmen down by 2pts, the Eagles DC turned on the afterburners to win the game going away. Led by Joachim (13pts 6reb) and Chris (19pts 5reb) the Jmen stayed in the game for 3qtrs, but didnt have enough steam for a 4th qtr! The young legs of Arj (15pts 5reb) and Uriel (16pts 5asts) turned out to be too much for the Jmen to handle.

FULL GAME COVERAGE: Eagles fly high past the Jumpmen

PayProTec (91) v. City Stars (78) PayProTec jumped out to a 30-12 1st qtr lead and never looked back! PPT led by Moe (17pts 13reb) and Barry (19pts 5reb) put it in cruise control for the rest of the game. Big games from Mike R (25pts) and Ant (24pts 5reb 4asts) were not enough to beat PPT. Watch out for City Stars in the near future, JBel (16pts 6asts) says that there will be some faces added to their roster by the cutoff period next week!

FULL GAME COVERAGE: PayProTec's dominance continues with the W over the City Stars

Islanders (59) v. Dawgs (63) Maybe they're better with 4 players! The Islanders took a 34-27 lead into the "locker room" led by Buba (22pts 6reb 4asts) and Tony (23pts 6reb). The Dawgs were led by Ryan (22pts 5reb 4asts) and James (14pts 6reb) who both had big 2nd halves. The Dawgs were without leading scorer Tyler but managed to prevail in this "dawg" fight.

FULL GAME COVERAGE: The Dawgs turned it on in the 2nd half which led to the W

Rangers (63) v. Pandas (33) The Rangers jumped out to a 15-3 advantage. The team was led by Tay (21pts) abd by a strong 1st qtr by Szeto (14pts 5reb). The Pandas, who never found their groove, were led by Joe (12pts 9reb) and Wally (11pts 3reb 3asts). A special shout goes to my fellow SI alum Matt Lai who grabbed a season high 11rebs!

FULL GAME COVERAGE: Rangers showed their Power against the Pandas
