Yellow (8-1) defeated
SPOC B (4-5)
Our illustrious Yellow leader “Ben Jong Palk” from Korea
dispatched the following instructions that must be obeyed at 13:00 on Thurs.
Guard 6, 22 and 44 at the 3 point line - they all like to go left (typical
commies). Keep 32 off the boards - get into him a bit ... He will lose it if
things don't go his way.
What BJP should have said was – give the ball to Stu and bow
down to his dominance. Without our glorious commander stealing all the peoples
good looks Dangerous was free to launch ICBM’s from all over South East Asia
and the Marion Leisure Centre. Yellow were also joined by the returning Purge
for his 2nd outing in a little over 2 years plus Foo, A, TMan & Madman. The
game started with Yellow getting great looks off crisp ball movement Madman
hitting, T with the inside move and then just like it was 2008 again with
multiple Purge to Stu 3 point bombs – Yellow 12-6 and emergency signs were
flashing. Our bigs started finding touches and Tomo got to the line for 2/4
freebies (quietly now 11/18 over last 5 weeks after rough start) then another
Madman J and 2 more Stu triples for a 22-13 half time lead.
The much more athletic Saint-bots adjusted at the half and
got their “European Handball” like offense moving (they basically take off,
fade sideways looking to pass but then end up launching a wild floater in the
vicinity of the backboard) plus worked out that by pressing up on our 1 legged
guards we might struggle a bit. They cut it to 28-20 and it felt like a game
was on (I got a little bit excited inside), feeling that excitement I decided
to catch the reversal at the point and whip a risky around the back bounce pass
to Stu for his 6th bomb. We then traded Big A free throws with transition
buckets as the younger blue legs got running. Enter the Footure who started
penetrating on the catch and slicing up the Saints, this really opened up the
game and when I hit Tomo fouline who drove and dumped to Big A for another 2/2
swishes the machine was moving again. Stu banged in his 7th and Foo got
multiple steals but didn’t convert however Yellow were left victorious 44-32.
Stu had a lazy 30, Tomo 6, A and MM 4 as we shot 9/13 from the line and moved
to 8-1. Rematch vs our only loss (Influencers) in 2 weeks!!
Fs (8-1) defeated SPOC
D (4-5) – Written by Max
Another week, another dominant win for the F’s, even without
our injured big man. The umpiring was atrocious for both teams with anything
approaching defense called as a foul, a total of 33 called for the game. All
the fouls provided plenty of opportunities from the free throw line and the F’s
percentage was improved with 12 from 19. Solid zone defence, quick transition,
and unselfish ball rotation were the keys for the F’s. For the second week in a
row Josh went on a scoring blitz in the second half racking up 13 points. The
F’s won 42-18. Josh had 14 and Max had 9 points. Thanks to G-man for scoring.

Hs (-) lost to Knightsbridge B (-)
The H-Bombs arrived early for their tussle with the White
Knights of Knightsbridge, which was lucky, as the car park was almost full to
capacity and it was a long walk from the overflow car park in Morphettville to
the stadium in Marion. The reason for
the packed car park became apparent on entry to the stadium, as some sort of
Gymnastics championship was being held.
It was strange seeing so many young fit girls and not one Guy. Speaking of young and fit, the Knights were
certainly that. While they were
certainly active on offence, and good shooters who made an amazingly high
percentage of their early shots, they were lazy defenders inclined to slap,
reach, and hack. The result was they
kept both their score and foul column of the scoreboard turning over. Unfortunately, although the Redmen were
moving the ball well and getting good looks, they weren’t able to match their
opponents’ shooting prowess, even when unguarded from the charity stripe. Half time we were down 26-10, our score
consisting of two three-pointers and 4 from 11 foul shots. Knowing our opponents willingness to wildly
swipe at the ball, our second-half strategy was to take the ball inside more to
draw even more fouls. The second half was more competitive, the Whites’
shooting percentage and scoring rate dropping, while still maintaining their
fouling rate. Sam in particular was a
target of their hack-a-Red strategy, but nearly every player took a turn taking
free throws as the Whites once again got well into the bonus. The Redmen kept moving the ball well and
getting good looks, but the middle of the basket remained elusive. A few White fast breaks in the latter stages
unfortunately pushed the margin back out in an otherwise even second
stanza. Final score was 46-21. Sam top scored with 8 and Rhys bagged 7. On free throws we were 8 from 21. Thanks to Captain Kirk for scoring.
