MATCHUP SUMMARY
Me (5) vs Aid (8)
Aid pulled off the effective win by absolutely destroying this third class trash in the offensive categories. It was a complete domination and burial that Triple H would be proud of when you lol at the shooting and scoring categories between these two teams. Another week, another agitating loss which leaves me with nothing but the legend of Saiyan lore to cling to, the legend of the super, but what if Kobe can no longer transform into the player that's been 25/5/5 ever since 2000? What if its not possible to ascend into the black mamba? Lamar we need you, together as KBLO you were a force.
Showtime (5) vs. Chico (8)
The self proclaimed Pat Riley of this league saw his team get taken down by the chowder headed Bad Guy. Showtime shall try to take solace in the fact the margins he lost categories by like DREBS and TOS were small, but at the end of the day it's just another loss and he slowly descends down the standings make one wonder if he's just another flash in the pan destined for obscurity like the Miami Heat in 2007. Maybe he and his guys are just too fat and lazy to get up for these games. After this win, the bad guy stands on top of the ladder in all the glory of his vaunted role model Razor Ramon, but he better not forget that there's always a showstopper read to flip his illogical trade offering ass off and remind him he will forever be a midcard act as opposed to a main event player when its the grand stage.
GA (5) vs. Mak (8)
What we take away from this matchup is assembling a cast of Wall and Olidapo goes right up there with the master gameplan the Raptors had of assembling Gay and Derozan. They will kill your percentages and turn the ball over, and when they do we have to read posts every day with GA bitching. We also have to begrudgingly admit that the return of Smith to Run n Gun is making them look formidable. They look like they have found their leader, their captain, their el presidente, their Derek Fisher and that makes them a playoff force waiting to be dealt with (who I'd be happy to tank to beat) as the gamesmanship of letting GA's squad narrowly lose the ft (4), fgm (3), blk (6), and fg% (1) was akin to a dagger right in the heart.
Notorious (8) vs. Cwalker (4)
The corpse of Andrew Bynum has come alive (why must you do this to me drew) and that gained him a narrow victory over the newest and modest member of this league. The skim margins that notorious won by with 3ptm, ast, and stls is becoming a habit for him. He's like the Randy Orton of this league, just narrowly escapes an ass kicking every week with his tail between his legs as the basketball gods seem to do a solid and turn water into wine when he's backed into a corner, as we can see with Andre Drummond. One has to wonder what will happen if Pau Gasol and Kyrie Irving ever snap out of their funk and become effecient again?
Kif (5) vs. Sal (8)
Welcome to the cavern! Kif is without a doubt the most improved gm in league history after one year. He's making moves that would make Morey himself jealous. That didn't stop him from entering though where he was forced to take it like Sasha Gray at a glory hole, while listening to endless loops of Colt Cabana promos. Sal easily won the categories of fgm, 3ptm, drebs, FTM, fg%, and 3pt% so there's no mistaking the fact that even though he's not as present on those boards as we are accustomed too, that RONDO loving sum bitch ... Arrives, raises hell, and leaves in a vintage fashion that begrudgingly makes you admit he still has it.
Brandon (5) vs. Ben (8)
At this point one is left to ask three questions: What the hell is with these losses mostly being 5-8? Who the hell did Ben sell his soul to at the crossroads to become decent as opposed to our own personal NBDL affiliate? Marc Gasol will you be able to save the day? Branduns team experienced a loss that knocked them narrowly below the 500 mark. There's a chance that this can be another Kevin Love situation, and the team headlined by Gasol and Wade fade slowly off into the sunset together sipping appletinis in South Beach, where they discuss what life was like when they had working knees.
IYF (9) vs Stax (4)
Much like the guy he's named after Stephen Jackson, retirement may be the best option possible for him. He's holding out hope that Deron Williams will leave happy meals alone for treadmills, so that his own wheels will begin to function again. He's also banking on the narrowest of margins that Rondo will be as loyal to him as he was good ol' SM28. He currently sits in the bottom of the league, while IYF is making headway once again in the standings, like he does every year at this time. One is left often times wondering if this is the year he will have a team that is healthy? Then they think back to every year past and realize its not likely, so he better pray for Gallo to return as his General just got bumped down to latrine duty with the trade by his favorite Sacramento Kings.
