Sign of the Twine: (Water) Day 2


It’s that time again.  June.  The NBA playoffs are reaching a crescendo.  Lebron went out of his mind dropping 45 on the old-heads up in Beantown forcing a game 7 back in South Beach tomorrow night – with K.D. and the boys layin’ in the cut back in OKC looking untouchable.  It’s hot and Death Row b-ball is on and poppin.’

Game one saw The Phenom (26 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals) lead the Runnin’ Rebels past Sky-High 50 – 40.  The Rebels opened on a 10 – 0 run triggered by swarming D by Scoop (8 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals and 1 block) and the General (9 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 1 block).  Sky-High made adjustments but looked out of sync all game long. Young Frost was ejected after receiving a double-technical foul at the 5:55 mark of the 1st half, further depleting an already under-manned squad.  

But, Billy-Ho held them down with (17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block) – Grown Man Ballin.’ SunChild (4 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 steals, and 2 blocks) brought the high-level intensity we’ve come to expect from him.  Runny Ray, Ali and Lil’ Chris combined for (16 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block)  in a gritty performance that, even in the loss, put everyone on notice that if you want the chip, you’ll have to go through Sky-High and oh, by the way; Breaing News:  E-Smoove is back from a temporary hiatus.  Watch out for Sky-High.

Game 2 featured the Regulators and the Funky Technicians.  The Technicians got off to an 11-2 run lead by Heart-N-Soul (13 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 steals), Bucktown (10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks); Pitt Bull went hard for (12 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block) and Nasty Nas snatched boards and took names (6 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks) bringing the fear factor to the paint. 

But, too much Regulators, led by B-dot (22 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assist and 1 steal), a career day from Freezy (18 points, 10 assists, and 3 steals) and a double/double from the Bigg Dogg (10 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block).  A less than stellar showing from Silk Money (8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals), not the gaudy numbers we usually get from him – a true baller; and only a matter of time before he gets untracked.  Regulators win 61-53.

Congratulations to the co-players of the week.  B-dot’s numbers for the two games this week: (35 points, 34 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals).  And of course, the Phenom: (65 points, 23 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals); that’s whoa!  Now that’s bringin the heat.  Next week - 6 games – and I promise your b-game will not get it done; bring it.  It’s that time again. 

Also, shout out to the new refs:  Big Bank, The Diesel and Lil’ Magic.  My peers; My family.  Let’s demonstrate to the world the possibilities of Man.  Much respect!

Mr. Blue
