Sign of the Twine: (Water), Day 4

B-ballers,

What it do?

Game 2 of the NBA Finals must’ve left Kevin Durant, a.k.a. The Durantula in a heap of frustration. He squandered a golden opportunity to take a commanding 2-0 lead, by missing a 10 foot jumpshot in the waning seconds of the game. A shot that would normally be equivalent to a layup, for The Durantula. Na mean?

Frustration flows through each and every one of us. You can’t escape it, but you can definitely suppress it. Every time I pick up this pen, each thought is inspired by the fact that this could very well be my final entry. Because of that; frustration will not deter me from hitting ‘the big shot.’ Ya heard?

The Phenom led all scorers today (what else is new, right?) with 33 points. He was 11/21 from the field and 10/15 from the stripe. Leading the 4-0 Runnin Rebels to a decisive 71-55 victory over the 2-2 Regulators. The Human Eraser contributed 15 points, 17 boards and a season high, 5 swats; generating his 1st double/double of the 2012 season. The Carpenter donated 7 points and 14 boards to the win.

Geezy led the Regulators with 17 points and 7 rebounds. B-Dot; the glass cleaner, a.k.a. 4-0-9, and J-Dubb collaborated for 19 points and 18 rebounds. Silk Money contributed 4 treys in the 2nd half, but the 39-23 halftime deficit proved to be insurmountable for team Regulators. SMH.

Heart-N-Soul led his team, Funky Technicians (1-3) to their 1st win of the 2012 season. He turned in a dominant performance, tallying 27 points (11.18 from the field and 4/6 from the stripe), 8 rebounds, 8 dimes, 5 thefts and 1 block.

Team Sky High was led by Frost (19 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 thefts) and E-Smoove (18 points, 11 boards, 8 dimes and 1 steal). Billy-Ho tallied his 3rd straight double digit scoring effort with 16 points. His streak of consistency also included 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 thefts and 1 block. But team Sky High appears to be losing altitude as they came up on the short end of a 76-67 decision.

This week belonged to Heart-N-Soul. In two games, he’s accumulated 52 points, 16 boards, 12 dimes, 9 thefts and 2 blocks – going 16/32 from the field and 18/26 from the stripe in those two games. In the waning minutes of today’s victory, he knocked down a triple and tallied 2 steals, a block and an assist. Giving Sky High the bizzness fo sho! Heart-N-Soul is the undisputed Player of the Week.

Nuff Said,
