Playoffs - Round 2
D1
(1) PayProTec (54) v. (4) Boogie (47)
The second round of the playoffs started off with #1 seeded PayProTec facing #4 Boogie! PayProTec jumped out to a 19-9 lead at the end of the first quarter behind 6pts a piece from Sunny & Moe (15p 7r). PayProTec outshot the Boogie team 49% (22-45 fgs) to 36% (15-42 fgs). Team Boogie was chipping away at the early 10pt deficit (38-34 in the final three quarters), but they just ran out of time. The offense was basically Sam (21p 6r) and Tye (12pts) and nobody else could help the duo! PayProTec will move onto the championship game next week versus Bomb Squad after beating Boogie, 54-47!

(2) Gators v. (3) The Fam
The first of two semifinal games pitted 2 vs. 3 as the Gators took on The Fam! The Gators jumped all over The Fam in the first quarter leading by 10, 21-11!  The Gators put it into cruise control the rest of the way. Rich (11p 6r) and Stevie (12p 3r 2a) led the way for the Gators. The Fam had a rough shooting day from the field shooting a miserable 12-49 fgs (24% from the field) while the Gators shot it at a 46% clip (17-37 fgs). The Fam tightened up the defense holding the Gators to 16 second half pts, but The Fam's offense didn't show up! They were held to 8pts in the second half on 2-23 shooting from the field (9%). The Fam saw their second consecutive trip to the finals disappear, 47-32.

(1) Strokers v. (4) Hapanese 
The second semifinal game in D2 had the defending champions (1) Strokers versus (4) Hapanese! This was a barn burner if there ever was one! The Strokers took a early 25-24 halftime lead behind Cam (14p 9r) and Ronnie (11p 5r). Hapanese could have folded under the pressure but their relentlessness could not be denied! TnT (Tye and Tommy) did their thing again by combining for 34pts 13rebs and dishing out 6asts! The two teams were pretty much even (FG: Hap 44% - Str 42%; 3pt: H 31% - S 36%; FT: H 52% - S 50%). Hapanese out dueled the champs, 56-54!on to the championship game where they will face (2) Gators! Should be a good matchup!

Open
Team Pacquiao (63) v. Rock Center (55)
The Open division started with a battle between Rock Center and newcomer Team Pacquiao! Rock Center took the early halftime lead, 35-28 behind the scoring of KC Pace (11pts in the 1st half). Team Pacquiao's defense stiffened up in the second half holding Rock Center to 4-18 fgs (22% from the field) while shooting a blistering 15-24 fgs (63% from the field)! Led by Rob Herndon's 22pts and 'Dre Jones who chipped in 19pts! Rock Center couldn't find their shot in the second half of the game. The second half of the game would've been much uglier if it wasn't for the 11-15 from the free throw line that kept them within breathing distance of Team Pacquiao! Final score: Team Pacquiao 63-55 Rock Center! A nice showing by the new guys!

Gamble Team (55) v. PrimeTime (52)
The final game of the day brought two old familiar foes to the court in The Gamble Team and Team PrimeTime! PrimeTime was prime for a battle as they jumped all over the Gamble Team, 18-5 after the first quarter! Corey Carlson (19pts) and Tyrone Dickerson (21pts) led the first half surge as they led, 30-19 at the half! The second half was a different story with the Gamble Team flipping the script on PrimeTime out scoring them, 36-22 in the second half behind the scoring of newcomer Josh (20p 8r). Josh had all of his 20pts in the second half! He was definitely the go-to guy! As the Gamble Team won, 55-52!

Behind Moe's 14pts and Sean Caiola's 13pts, PayProTec never looked back! PayProTec had 5 players in double figures as they beat Beastion, 66-40! Thank you goes out to Beastion!

(2)Dawgs (57) v. (7)Eagles (55)
This one came down to the last shot of the game as #2 Dawgs did battle versus #7 Eagles! The Eagles swarming defense was causing the Dawgs to make some mistakes and the Eagles took advantage early! As the Eagles took a 27-21 first half lead! The Dawgs came alive in the third out scoring the Eagles, 17-11, and bringing the game to a 38-38 tie going into the fourth! This game came down to the wire! The Eagles 3pt shooting (44% 3pt) kept them in the game. Down by 1pt, Quez grabbed an offensive rebound and put the shot back in with :05 seconds left! The Dubs called time and took the ball in at half court. Two passes and the ball was in the hands of Jalen, after a pump fake he took a dribble to his left and let it fly. Nothing but net as time went to 0:00! What a game!

In the 3 vs 6 matchup, Bomb Squad was pitted versus Jumpmen. Bomb Squad went BOOM! From the opening tip the Bomb Squad was on their game! The Wong brothers combined to hit 4-1st quarter 3pt shots! Nick (16pts) and Kyle (20pts) combined for 19 of the teams 26pts in quarter one to take a 26-15 lead and they never looked back! Jumpmen was working from behind the whole game! Their 3pt shooting failed them too, they were 3-19 (16%) from 3pt land and 16-45 (36%) overall. Good season, Jumpmen!

D2
(2)Gators v. (7)Team Royalty
The first matchup in the D2 division brings the #2 seeded Gators versus #7 Team Royalty! The difference in this game is that the Gators were ready and Team Royalty wasn't! Dennis A. (16p 6r 6a) led his team in scoring and assists. The Gators had scoring across the board. They shot a season high 54% (25-46 fgs)! Team Royalty had a rough beginning. They only had four players to start the game and by the time the rest of their players showed up it was too late! AJ (11pts) and Shawn (10pts) did all they could do but it wasn't enough as the Gators went on to win the game, 63-40!

(3)The Fam v. (6)GPC
This game started off at a snails pace! As #3 The Fam took on #6 GPC. The scoreboard didn't have much action in the beginning of the game but after a few minutes the ball finally was going through the hoop! The Fam was able to take a 25-17 halftime lead. The shooting improved throughout the game for both teams (The Fam 17-39 / 44%; GPC 14-35 / 40%). Jessie led his team to victory with inspired play! He and James Soy were consistent members as The Fam took the lead and never relinquished it! GPC on the other hand had a rough time shooting the rock! Jordan's 14pts led the way for GPC. Nobody else hit double figures. The Fam moved on to the next round winning, 54-37!

This was a competitive game between the 4/5 seeds as Hapanese battled The Putties! Both teams shot the ball well (Hapanese 48% / Putties 46%). Hapanese held a 34-26 halftime lead behind the play of Andrew (14p 10r) and Mike Lim (13pts). Hopefully, these two players who missed a couple of games this season will be able to help Hapanese reach their ultimate goal! The Putties were led by Clif Szeto with 20pts on 6-8 fgs! The game got close but in the end Hapanese was able to pull away from the Putties, 66-53!

(1)Strokers v. (8)MonStars
On paper, this should be an easy game for (1) Strokers but (8) MonStars were giving it all they could! The Strokers held a 30-24 lead at the half. The kids from the MonStars played their hearts out! Adonis (21p 10r) and Maynard (18pts) were the only highlights for the MonStars, who were in the game for three quarters but they ran out of gas! The Strokers went on a 20-12 run to end the game. Ray (19pts) and Cam (16pts) led the way for the Strokers as they beat the MonStars by 20, 69-49!

Week 7 Recaps

 D1
Dubs (72) v. Jumpmen (58)
In the first of two games, the guys from Jumpmen were up to the challenge! First challenge came from a team that has found their stride at the right time, the Dubs! This was a competitive game! The score after the first quarter was all knotted up at 18 apiece! Then the Jumpmen couldn't find their shot! They shot 4-18 (22%) for the quarter...and the Dubs took full advantage shooting 11-22 (50%) in the second period. That was the quarter the sealed the victory for the Dubs. Jumpmen played even with the Dubs the rest of the way. In the end, it was the Dubs day, 72-58! On to the next one...

Bomb Squad (68) v. PayProTec (61)
In this battle of behemoths, a short handed Bomb Squad took on an also short handed PayProTec squad. PayProTec was welcoming back Moe (20p 7r) from vacation and injury. They were also missing Jason Rockwell and Sunny Margate! Two of the big guns that have made PayProTec champions in the past! Bomb Squad was up to the challenge as Nick Wong led his team with 26p 8r 4a! They shot a combined 25-51 (49%) from the field versus just 21-49 (43%) by PayProTec! The better shooting and all out hustle made the Bomb Squad winners, 68-61!

Boogie (70) v. Jumpmen (68)
In their second game of the day, Jumpmen looked to be a new team with a renewed vigor! Their opponents were Boogie, who were led by Sam Allen! Jumpmen led by 5pts going into the fourth quarter, leading throughout. Jed kept the Jumpmen in front with a barrage of 3pters (23pts 5-11 3pt)! But, as they say, it ain't over until it's over! With :03 seconds left in the game and Jumpmen leading by a single point...Boogie went to their man, Sam Allen! Boogie inbounded the ball to Sam, he took a dribble and took the shot about three feet behind the line...hit the shot at the buzzer to win the game by 2pts, 70-68!

The Strokers took full advantage of the Hapanese ineptitude! Out scoring Hapanese in the quarter, 14-1! The Strokers with they're #fullsquad, were led by Ray with 10pts & 6rebs! The Strokers go into the postseason on a 5gm winning streak looking for back to back titles! Meanwhile, Hapanese fell to the number 4 seed in the playoffs!

Week 6 Results

 D1
Jumpmen (54) v. Dawgs (50)
Week 6 began with Jumpmen taking on a depleted Dawgs team! With 3/5 of their starting five out due to unforeseen circumstances the Dawgs were left in a lurch. Jumpmen felt no remorse for the Dawgs, because they know how it feels to be on the other end! James Maldonado and Joe Scott each poured in 12pts as the Jumpmen defeated the Dawgs, 54-50! The Dawgs were outshot by Jumpmen (42% to 34%). Their poor shooting from the field led to their demise! Next for the Dawgs is the playoffs and for Jumpmen, they have two makeup games next week!

PayProTec (48) v. Boogie (41)
This was billed as a battle between two of the top teams in the division as defending champs PayProTec took on the boys from Boogie! The Boogie team took a 26-22 lead at halftime behind JMac (16p 7r 3a) and big man Jose (10p 8r). PayProTec shot a putrid 29% (13-45 fgs)! Their saving grace came at the free throw line (12-17 / 71%). While the Boogie team was a mere 2-5 / 40% from the charity stripe! PPT was led in scoring by Jason, who had 17pts, and Sean Caiola who contributed 15pts (6-6 ft) in a decisive 3rd period!

In their second game in a row, Boogie wanted to get their mojo back after losing a hard fought game but Beastion was in their way! After the first quarter, Beastion held a slight 1pt advantage, 18-17...but that was all they had because team Boogie finally answered the bell! They out scored Bestion, 54-35 the rest of the way! Boogie found their shooting stroke! They shot 50% (24-48 fgs) from the second quarter on! Beastion couldn't find their shot from the arc (5-20 / 25%)! They drop to 2-4 on the season. The postseason is next!

PayProTec (91) v. Eagles (90)
This was the game of the day! In one corner there was the undefeated PayProTec team versus the 2-2 Eagles! Let me just say, the 3's were flowing! The Eagles were 19-31 (61% 3pt). Six different players hit a 3ptr! John Calara and Faro led their team with 4-3ptr each! That would have been great on any other day, that is...because PayProTec came out on fire as well! Shooting a mind blowing 76% (16-21 3pt range)! It was a very turbulent game with PayProTec leading by 3 after making two from the line. The Eagles called timeout with 9.1 seconds remaining. They took the ball across half court and got it to Law and with time running out he heaves a one-legged prayer and he hits nothing but the bottom of the net and we have overtime. They would trade buckets and Sean Caiola made two free throws to seal away the victory! Behind Sunny (8) and Barry's (6) marksmanship, PayProTec was able to outlast the Eagles, 91-90!

Dubs (66) v. Eagles (55)
After a hard fought loss, the Eagles were primed for a let down versus the winless Dubs! Trailing by only 2pts after three quarters, the Eagles ran out of gas as the Dubs, who had the fresh legs, finished them off, 66-55! Quez (14p 9r 4a) and Arj (11p 6r) did all that they could but they were spent. The Eagles shot a meager 29% (4-14 fgs) in the final period. While the Dubs shot 50% 7-14 fgs) in the fourth quarter led by Uriel (18p 8r 4a) and Los (14p 6r). The Dubs shot well from the field, 51% (27-53 fgs)! Hopefully, they will be able to continue that kind of shooting next week!

This one was an ugly game! The shots weren't falling for either team! The Putties shot it at a 30% (14-46 fgs) clip and The Fam at 32% (15-47 fgs)! James Soy (19p 5r 3s) was the only bright spot in an otherwise dreadful shooting game for The Fam. Jason and Bruce both chipped in with 6pts & 8rebs! Meanwhile, the Putties could not find their shot until it was too late! Matt Szeto had 15pts & 8rebs but 12 of them came in the final quarter! Matt Lai also came through with 10p 6r but that wasn't enough to beat The Fam on this day!

The Gators proved to be too much for Team Royalty to handle on this day! The Gators jumped down Team Royalty's throat from the beginning of the game! Mike, of the Gators, had 15 of his game high 28pts in the first half and Jordan was the man on the boards with 15rebs! It was total domination from the start! Team Royalty needs to find that go-to guy that they can rely on to go with Their core! Irish (14p 5r) and Erwin (10p 5r) were the only bright spots for Team Royalty who shot 31% (17-54 fgs)! The regular season is over for both of these teams with the Gators finishing at 4-2 and Team Royalty 2-4. Next stop for both teams is the postseason!

This was another "grind it out" type of game as the Strokers look to extend their winning streak vs. GPC! This was a close game throughout. The Strokers were leading at the half, 28-23. The difference in this game was 3pt shooting! The Strokers were 8-22 (36%) while GPC shot it at 5-18 (28%). Georgio led his team with 13p 6r 1a 2b and Ray chipped in 12pts. The GPC had a tough day from the field (16-49 / 33%)...but the game was in their hands! Tommy (13p 8r) and Steven (11p 6r) were the only ones to show up on this day! They'll need a all-out team effort in the playoffs!

This was the biggest upset this season, as the winless MonStars took on the undefeated Hapanese squad! Maynard (26p 8r) and Alex (18p 12r) helped the MonStars "shock the world"! The MonStars outshot Hapanese in every category: MonStars 35% fgs, 30% 3pt, 67% ft / Hapanese 30% fgs, 13% 3pt, 50% ft! For Hapanese, Tye and Tommy showed up late no time for warmups, and it showed! Tye still scored 16pts and Tommy had 12pts but their 3's were not falling for them! I guess it goes to show you...any team can get beaten on any given day...
