The Draft Day Review that Wasn’t

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming season, we got off to an inauspicious start.  Instead of conducting the player draft this afternoon we were informed the season, dubbed “Concrete Soul” by the MannofStat, has been postponed due to some aggressive above the rim tactics performed on the yard.

The game plan is to get that back-board repaired and finish their intramural tournament, and then begin our league play.  Our start date has been pushed back to a tentative July. 
We were assured by the head of the recreation department and unit manager that they will do all in their power to ensure we get started in a reasonable amount of time.  And we are all committed to making this the best tournament we’ve had to date.  Playing each game as if it were your last takes on a whole new meaning on the row, ya heard?
Everyone was looking forward to the jump off and there is disappointment at the delay.  However, the down-time can be used as an opportunity by some star players to tend to nagging injuries, Lil’ Magic (foot, back, knee), J-Rock (ankle).
The time can also be used to patch-up those rough spots on the court, which is long overdue and for ballers to fine tune their games.
Due to illness, Big-Shot Bo will take his talents to the bench and use his energy and emotional leadership as a coach this year.  In another twist – two time championship coach, Slick Rick will be runnin and gunnin as a player this year.  It promises to be a very entertaining season.  Until then, let the rock continue to pound the pavement like a heartbeat…
Keep it 100,

Mr. Blue
