Week 3 - 10/9/11 Preview
12:15PM: 3rd Rock (0-2) vs Brooklyn Hustlas (1-1)
Game Line: Brooklyn Hustlas -10
The Hustlas squeezed out an impressive win last week against Manhattan Pride. With a full squad at every game, this is could be a playoff team. 3rd Rock on the other hand lost again last week--this time at the hands of Real Ready. This is a must win for them, and it's not going to be an easy one.
Prediction: Brooklyn Hustlas covering
Game Changers in Week 2:
Otis (3rd Rock) 10 PTS, 8 RBS
Lewis (BK Hustlas) 14 PTS, 12 RBS
1:15PM: Wen Bo (1-1) vs Manhattan Pride (1-1)
Game Line: Manhattan Pride -2
Wen Bo and Manhattan Pride both lost their first games last week. Neither team wants to drop two straight especially if they want to make the playoffs. This is a potential playoff preview.
Prediction: Manhattan Pride covering
Game Changers in Week 2:
Herman (Wen Bo) 16 PTS, 4 RBS, 4 ASTS
William (Manhattan Pride) 17 PTS, some deep ass threes
2:15PM: Real Ready (1-0) vs Ponzi Schemers (2-0)
Game Line: Real Ready -2
This matchup features the league's top two scorers. Keep in mind, during our Spring Season, Richie (28.9 PPG) from Real Ready edged out Adam (25.2 PPG) from Ponzi for the scoring title. This season, Adam is yet again in Richie's shadow, but he's come back in the Fall with a stronger squad. Will this be a battle of the leading scorers? Or will these two pass the ball once in a while? I think the former.
Prediction: Ponzi and the points
Game Changers in Week 2:
Adam (Ponzi) 24 PTS, .625 FG%
Richie (Real Ready) 30 PTS, .600 3PT%
3:15PM: Game, Blouses (1-0) vs Anthony Weiner's Weiner (0-2)
Game Line: Game, Blouses -3
Following their bye, Game, Blouses looked strong in Week 2. As runner ups in the Summer Season, the Blouses are coming back with a vengeance looking to go undefeated with their new big man Tyler and the fast handed Anthony who had a record 7 steals last week. The Wieners have a good squad with the return of their PG Michael Molina, but they still haven't connected the pieces to get their first win. Will the Wieners bring back their stellar performance from last season or will their losses continue to pile up?
Prediction: Anthony Weiner's Weiner and the points
Game Changers in Week 1:
Anthony (Game, Blouses) 14 PTS, 7 STL
Jihad (Wiener's Wiener) 13 PTS, 15 RBS
4:15PM: Team X (2-0) vs Kaman His Pants (0-2)
Game Line: Team X -6
Last week, Team X showed everyone who the real champions were after beating Spring champs Wen Bo. With a bigger and faster roster, Team X looks to maintain their undefeated season. After a humiliating defeat to their former teammates last Sunday, the Kamans are still looking for their first win. From missing half their team in Week 1, to the absence of their key big man Dave in Week 2, the Kamans need to get their act together if they want to play deep into November.
Prediction: Kaman His Pants outright win
Game Changers in Week 1:
Nobby (Team X) 20 PTS, 53.3 FG%
Allan (Kaman His Pants) 9 PTS, 6 RBS
