What do you do when you’ve been labeled “the worst of the worst,” cast off from society and left to die? You accept the challenge ; Elevate! Game 1 Chaos vs. Hustle. Silk Money sets the tone of how its going to be with a pull-up trey off the rip, proving his All-World status with an effortless (16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks) and Chaos blows out to an early 20-7 lead they would never relinquish. He along with Heart-N-Soul *15 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals) frustrated team Hustle, swarming the passing lanes like killer bees.
The lead was cut to 4 in a scoring lull for Chaos when Frost stepped up, hitting all of his 14 points in the first half including (4 – treys) boosting the lead to 37-2`. That lead ballooned to 47-25 deep into the 3rd quarter and J-Rock (7 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block) was whistled for a technical foul at the 2:22 mark that seemed to ignite his team, who would finish on a torrid 31-14 run led by Scoop who played out of his mind in the 2nd half with (26 points, [18 in 2nd half], 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks).
Bigg Dogg’s (5 points, 17 monster boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks) and the General nailing two huge treys (3 for the game) cutting a 23 point deficit down to 4 at 60-56 with under 2 minutes to play, but it would be too little too late as the door got slammed shut with two humongous boards by the Chubsta. The Carpenter went in the paint and got his grown-man on (10 points, 13 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals) sealing the deal and allowing Chaos to escape 61-56.
Game 2 same the Quiet Storm and the Silverbacks do battle. The Silverbacks did it their way; gully. With lock-down D. and get it with your muscle style of play led by Bucktown’s (12 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks) and Sunchild’s (4 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks). Good team balance with the Diesel, Tone and Fowl combining for (22 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 10 steals and 1 block) and once again coming away with the rebounding edge 43-35.
The Quiet Storm were paced by the Phenom’s (19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks) and E-Smoove’s (15 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks). E-Smoove put it in over-drive early with – 9points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the 1st half. And with (11 points) from Lil’ Bison, it was enough to secure a hard-fought 61-47 victory.
We’re about half way through the battle for the chip. Just when you think it’s over you might find that it’s only just beginning. In basketball as in life, you get out of it what you put into it. Go 100 all the way through. That’s the Blue View.
