What’s poppin?
The NBA finals are now complete. Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd have solidified their positions amongst an elite class of professional ballers. Becoming a NBA champion is a dream come true, for most ballers. The passion to compete between the lines is attained by the best ballers.
Death row is far from a baller’s dream of competing in the NBA. The deprivation of freedom is a nightmare we live from day to day, but thru basketball we can compete for the right to be called a champion. Tragedy to Triumph. Feel me?
The Quiet Storm (3-2) faced team Hustle (2-3) for the second time this season. The final shot made the difference the last time these two teams faced off, a shot that ascended team Hustle to 2-0. But today’s forecast would be much different. You might need your umbrellas.
Team Quiet Storm led 25-13 at the end of the first quarter. They closed out the first half leading 42-27. The Phenom led the way with 25 points (5/6 from the stripe), 11 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. The Phenom appears to be getting back into his scoring groove. In his first three games, he accumulated no more than 17 points. He’s tallied 26 and 25 points in his last two outings and achieving his 5th straight double/double of the season. Nasty Nas and Streets stayed active in the Quiet Storm front court. They collaborated for 18 points and 11 rebounds.
Team Hustle was led by Bigg Dogg (13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal), but he needed a lot more help because this one was never close. Team Hustle was hung out to dry in a Quiet Storm romp, 67-50. The Quiet Storm 3-game winning streak is the real. The raw uncut. Have your MannofStat O.D’d cause it’s never enough. Holla if ya hear me Lil’ Kim.
Team Chaos stands alone at 4-1. First team All-World selection, Silk Money, came off the bench to tame the beasts. He tallied 18 points (4/4 from the stripe), 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Heart-N-Soul aided the demise of the Silverbacks (1-4) with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals of his own. The Carpenter had 14 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The Carpenter is averaging 12.1 rebounds per game this season.
The Silverbacks were led by Bucktown’s 16 points (10 in the 4th quarter), 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Diesel and Wakil a.k.a. T-Owl, combined for 15 rebounds, 6 rebounds and 5 steals, but the Silverbacks were outrebounded 53-28. Word is bond!
Team Chaos recovers from last week’s loss to the Quiet Storm, by shellacking the Silverbacks, 59-42.
Nuff Said,
MannofStat
