mighty boys vs coutas - week 14

11th-jul-2007 - posted by dtra

the team with the tools, but not the commitment, it was going to be a tough game, cos they had a big size advantage. fortunately for us, they were missing a few players, and one of their big guys, so the plan was to push the ball. we lead 24-17 at the half, and eventually won 46-33, but they did make a couple runs at us. most notably late in the first half, when we were leading 22-10, they finished the half with a 2-7 run, and after we pulled away at the start of the second half to 35-23, they went on a 0-10 run to pull within 2. we called time, and when we came back out, we finished the game with an 11-0 run for the win.

it's good to play against a team that doesn't really push back on d, i managed to grab some boards and push the ball down the court, and we had several 2, 3, 4 on 1's for easy baskets. i did manage to fluff a few easy layups though, just not concentrating i guess. everyone played well though, wills and kang on d, and henry, andy, simon, gordon, and fred (in his return and finale game smiley) all got in the act on offence and on the break. i made a couple of clumsy turnovers and handling errors, i was probably over-excited about the chance to play with some freedom (in terms of not much physicality).

i scored 16 points, and was 2/4 from the line (smiley), for 139 points, and 27/46 from the line, for the season totals. we're now 10-3, and should maintain second on the ladder for this week.
