If you don’t know, now you know.
Death Row B-Ball is now in full E-F-F-E-C-T.
In the first game we had team Regulators vs. Sky High. The Regulators Gezzy coming off yet another
career day. Shooting 11/16 from the
field, 3 boards, and 3 steals (22 points).
Backing him up was Big Dogg, 12 points, 5 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals
and 1 block. B-dot a.k.a, “4-0-9” had to
sit for 4 min. His absence allowed team Sky
High to go on a roll, tying the game at 23.
Despite Sky High keepin it close through the whole game,
Regulators achieved the victory, 73-67.
4-0-9 set a new league record for rebounds (26). He shot 6/12 from the field, dished out 3
assists, had 3 steals and 1 block.
J-Dubb and Silk Money combined for (20 points).
Team Sky High fought a hard battle. Their big man, King Cobra is currently
unavailable. But, E-Smoove stepped up to
the plate, grabbing 13 boards. He
finished 5/19 from the field (20 points).
He also had 4 assists and 2 blocks.
Backing him up was Frost. He
scored (25 points) 11/23 from the field and added 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 4
thefts. Despite getting tossed out of
his last game Frost kept his team within striking distance. Billy Ho finished with (19 points) 8/10 from
the field, 6 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.
In game 2, we had the Runnin Rebels vs. Funky Technicians.
The Funky Technicians were looking for their first win,
despite jumping out to a 10-3 lead, the Funky Technicians couldn’t fight off a
Runnin Rebel surge that resulted in RR taking a 14-13 lead. Two big treys by Jimi Jam kept the Funky
Technicians close, but the Phenom and the Carpenter said: “Let’s go” and the Runnin Rebels turned up
the heat, running the score up to 42-31 at the half.
Now just before the half, we had Bucktown donate 2 points by
making a layup in the opponent’s basket for the play of the day J LOL.
The leading scores at the half were The Phenom (23 points)
and Heart-N-Soul (13 points).
As the second half got under way, Runnin Rebels looked like
the Lakers of the late 80’s and early 90’s – with The General running the
show. He dished out no look passes –
driving to the rack at will. He finished
with (11 points) 4/8 from the field, 3 boards, 7 assists and 1 steal.
Before The Phenom fouled out at 11:24 mark, he wreaked
havoc, finishing with 31 points (14/19 from the field), 11 boards 3 assists and
steals. Backing him up was Scrappy (19
points, 9 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals).
The Carpenter finished with (13 points, 6/10 from the field), 19 boards
and 2 assists.
Hill Top was 3/4 from the field; he grabbed 8 boards and had
1 assist and 1 steal. Despite the Funky Technicians
looking for their win, it was another disappointing day, 85-71. If someone doesn’t step up and take
leadership, they’re going to see more bad days ahead.
This game was plagued with fouls. Heart-N-Soul and Bucktown were both D.Q.’d
due to fouls. They need to find a way to
put the puzzle together and make it work.
It’s always another day.
Heart-N-Soul finish with (5/14 8 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, 1 block,
25 point). Tone (6/17, 9 boards, 2
assists, 14 steals and 17 points). Bucktown
(7/15, 6 boards, 1 steal, 1 block and 17 points). Pitt Bull (2/7 12 boards, 2 steals and 4
points). Jimi Jam and Slick Rick combine
for 8 points.
In the immortal words of Young Geezy:
“You think you ballin cause you got a block.
He think you ballin cause you got a block.
You know them cats wanna see me fall.”
So step your game up because God-willin, Friday, it’s
another jump ball.
Calling the shots.
