Week 2 Recap

#2 The Bomb Squad 50 - #17 Phase 4 16

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Phase 4 didn't win the tip, and The Bomb Squad went on a 22-2 run to finish the half, making it 22-2 at half. Also when Nicholas Rachmaninoff had 10 rebounds, a career-high.
Peter Lind. Lind had an unusual double double with 14 points and 15 steals. Phase 4 isn't best known for their ball-handling, and Lind took advantage of that right from the start.
"I dropped 7. Not satisfied. We r gettin betta tho. Gradual" - Sam Shapiro (in a text)

Up Next: The Bomb Squad vs. The Express. Phase 4 vs. Boo Radley and Friends.
#3 The Express 17 - #5 Boo Radley and Friends 15

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
John Haller hit a floater with 5 seconds left to break a 15-15 tie. Once again, a low scoring game due to George Lopez reffing the game. The man calls every touch foul that can possibly be called.
John Haller, and the Express' shut down defense. Haller had 13 of the 17 Express points, and led the Express' 2-3 defense. The Express went with zone knowing nobody could stick to Spencer Levin.
"Take a seat!" - George Lopez to Spencer Levin, threatening to eject Boo Radley's star player. However, Levin ended up staying in the game.

Up Next: The Express vs. The Bomb Squad. Boo Radley vs. Phase 4.
#4 Tallula 36 - #18 Off In The Woods 24
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Tallula realized they were much better than Off In The Woods. Obviously nobody on their team bet them against the spread because they didn't even come close to covering their 43 point spread.
James Knight. Knight replicated his Week 1 effort, scoring 24 points to maintain his season average. Mac Tucker wasn't as enthusiastic as James, citing a Connor Murphy fart as his reason for goofing off.
"Snyder's a wild stallion that needs to be tamed" - Connor O'Halleran


Up Next: Tallula vs. Ortega. Off In The Woods vs. The Bullets.
#6 Theo 33 - #13 McGarry Dangles Inc. 27

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Walt Lyon knocked down his free throws. Walt made 6 straight free throws at the end of the game to clinch it for Theo. At 27-25, McGarry Dangles couldn't score, and were forced to foul Lyon, who knocked them both down. Walt didn't flinch after McGarry Dangles scored making it 29-27, ending the game on 4 for 4 shooting from the charity stripe.
Walt Lyon. Walt showed that he will be the new leading scorer, contributing 28 of Theo's 33 points. When Danny Malkin had 10 at the break, Walt called for a Box and 1 defense on Malkin. Malkin wasn't as productive due to the new defensive set, and it game Theo just enough cushion to win it.
"Mills' lack of production was key" - Walt Lyon, acknowledging another reason why Theo prevailed.


Up Next: Theo vs. Supreme Court. McGarry Dangles Inc. vs. Mallard Magic.

#10 Ortega 51 - #7 The Bullets 26

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Robert Gorodetsky stopped knocking down long shots. It was 29-22 Ortega at the half, The Bullets still close due to Gorodetsky's shooting (14 points), but in the second half it was all Ortega.
Reid Berry. Berry had 17 including 10 second chance points. His offensive rebounding skill caused a big upset. The Bullets were a big favorite in this game, and at 0-2, are looking like they'll take a big hit in the Week 2 polls.
"I can beat anybody in the school 1 on 1" - Robert Gorodetsky, after the 25 point loss.
Up Next: The Bullets vs. Off In The Woods. Ortega vs. Tallula.
#8 Mallard Magic & The Funky Bunch 37 - #14 Supreme Court 22

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Alex Nadolna played PG for Mallard Magic. Much like Tallula, Mallard Magic was the much better team in this matchup, and didn't need to exert full effort in order to win.
Alex Porter. He was hitting mid-range jumpers like Goran Suton, an unusual shooting touch from the normally out of control Porter. In other news, Christian Sarkisian was ejected for taking out Nick Dronen, after he thought Dronen took out Ryder Borre, but Chris Williams really took out Borre.
"We beat the spread and caused an ejection. We'll take the moral victory" - John Secaras

Up Next: Mallard Magic vs. McGarry Dangles Inc. Supreme Court vs. Theo.
#9 Medieval Times 66 - #19 Hank Mardukas 13
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Medieval Times went on a 32-0 run to end the first half up 32-1. They couldn't keep up the torrent pace, winning by a margin of 66-13. Last year, Medieval Times won by 58 vs. Boo Radley, adn this year, it's 53. Week 2 suits Medieval times I guess.
James Bartels. Bartels was talking trash to Alex Hankin, thinking an upset was in order, saying,"Hubris is a term used in modern English to indicate overweening pride, haughtiness, or arrogance, often resulting in fatal retribution or Nemesis. See you on the court". Turns out he was wrong.

"If Roche could've made a lay-up, we would've dropped 100" - Mike Maley, disgusted that Andrew Roche couldn't convert on "30" lay-ups.
Up Next: Medieval Times vs. Wascher. Hank Mardukas vs. Coot's Coot.
#11 AD 54 - #16 NWA 20

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
NWA (formerly Ba Dunk-A-Dunk) an 0-8 team from last year lost their best player John Secaras. They could compete with Hank Mardukas for worst team in the league.
Alex Wislow. The new acquisition for AD is producing, impressing Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face, and now going double digits on NWA. Watch out for Wislow and AD to maybe make a postseason run like last year.
"I bet AD won: Heisler was looking pretty glum after the game" - James Bartels


Up Next: AD vs. BYE. NWA vs. Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face.

#12 Re-Elect Judge Jim Wascher 51 - #15 Coot's Coot 16

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Re-Elect Judge Jim Wascher figured out Coot's Coot's defense to the point where they scored on every trip down the court.
Ben Burgess. Burgess had 17 in an effortless win for Judge Jim Wascher. Their average margin of victory so far this year is 36, winning 50-13 last week. However, both Coot's Coot and Hank Mardukas are leading candidates for worst team in Night League.
"Coot's Coot. Coot's Coot" - A slow chant Coot's Coot says while their opponents are attempting free throws. Wasn't as effective as planned in Weeks 1 and 2.


Up Next: Wascher vs. Medieval Times. Coot's Coot vs. Hank Mardukas.
