Confucius say team that play no defense not deserve to win.
Theme tonight will be Potential Replacement Mascots should Slamson ever be abducted by aliens:
Artest ( B ) -- strong first quarter again, powering inside again and again, was actually having some probolems with Gerald, although got the better of him on several occasions poking balls away. Gave us extra possessions by repeatedly poking balls away. Decided to try out all kinds of shoes int eh final minute -- the hero shoes, for hittign a huge three that looked like it might win it. The goat shoes for missing a FT to open the door for the Bobcats, then blatantly running over Sean May out of a timeout for an offensive foul that largely finshed us. And then the martyr shoes for being wide open for a potential tying three in the final seconds, but being compoletely and maybe purposefuly ignored by Mike, who wanted to take it himself I think, and instead ended up dumping it to Kevin for a lousy low percentage challenged heave.
YOSEF THE MOUNTAINEER (Appalachian State University ) -- sucking on some moonshine at a game near you
Thomas ( D ) -- got lit up by Sean May in the early going, who is not a 20pt a night scorer. May was grabbing all the rebounds too. Pattern repeated in the third, and then Kenny had to elave the game because of a foot problme or some such. Which was a real "oh darn". Kenny: 5pts 1reb. May: 20pts 12reb. Hmm...
ANTHONY THE FIREANT (Fayetteville Fireantz (minor legaue hockey)) -- his mom sewed that together
Miller ( B- ) -- shrug of a first half but came muscling down with several true big man rebounds, and he also came up with 3 blocks tonight. Through three quarters was playing much like a true big man, although it should be noted the man he was outmuscling was Primoz Brezec, who would lose an arm wrestling contest with Eva Longoria. But down the stretch he just did not show up, and the no skill hustle of Jake Voskuhl proved much more difficult for him to handle than the tall finesse of Brezec. Not sure because it was an open court situation, but he might have also been the man who did not get out to challenge May for his backbreaking three in the last 30 seconds.
BILLY BREWER ((Burton Albion (British soccer)) -- gotta love the pure class
Martin ( A- ) -- did a nice job in the opening quarter in using his quickness to create for others, and closed the first half on a very efficient run, hitting everything and maybe getting a few friendly whistles. Not sure what happened after half, as he came out of the lockeroom looking out of sorts, and forcing shots out of rhythm. May have hurt his ankle as well on one drive. Missed some big shots down the stretch, and got beat along the baseline by Matt Carrol at a critical point in the last two minutes. Took our final desperation three point heave to try to reach OT, but it was heavily challenged and airballed. Thought B+ here for the shaky late play and some invisible defense, but liked the way he created shots for others tonight.
RATTLESNAKE (Florida A&M) -- I've been told that is a snake. With hair. Wearing a cheerleader outfit.
