"It's FLASHover, baby... not PUSHover!" That's what GM GForce03 was heard screaming in the tunnels of Undo Stadium, after Flashover stomped all over hitherto undefeated Rhino's Rage. Vilja dumped 46 points on the visitors in 41 minutes of play, which pushes him into the NBBA scoring lead. Good use of a home normal gets them into the positive integers in the win column.
Only 36 seats were left unsold at History Repeating Coliseum for the game between Black Light and Deronimo. Deronimo had tried mind games in the media and seemed to have an early edge. Things looked dire for us in the third, when Deronimo hit four threes in a row. But we did just enough to stay attached and deliver the winning punch in the fourth. Monster performance by Salazar who manages to not foul out (rare for him). Black Light's PG, SG and SF end the week with 80+ minutes. Jackson's return will be extremely important to rebalance minutes next week. But, on a more general note, minutes can be kind of a mess in this NBBA, where there blowouts are few and far between. Deronimo is in between players and could field incredible depth, but we had just enough to hang on.
The Explosive Bubble Wrap did in fact explode into a CT. Not sure it was necessary given the 26 pt win, but facing #1 and #2 team in their conference next week, it probably does not make a huge difference and secures the win.
southpaw army (I'm still struggling with this: is it lowercase at the beginning of a sentence?) returns to the winning ways with a comfortable home win against HPH. Not much to see here. The higher payroll team cruises at home. Maybe the only surprising thing was that it's a high-scoring affair, instead of a defensive blowout. Relatedly, pace was also kind of crazy (109 possessions for HPH, 108 for sa).
In a bit of a surprise, we had just finished saying that OD is still overpowered. Big Gulp puts up an incredible perimeter defense rating, and yet loses because they field five Ben Simmonses and end up with 60 pts in 88 shooting possessions for 68 pp100 (excluding, as usual, FT's).
Sofuegg is beginning to look more like a tank than 3d chess.
Visionaries win and Polk is still hanging out with Madonna.
