Week 6 Recap

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit on My Face 48 - #9 Boo Radley and Friends 36

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Gillyweed got busy. He's listed at 6'4", but was playing 6'11" today (7's a little generous), and just dominated Boo Radley and Friends down low the entire game. Barifinkle's size is going to be tough to beat this year, and after a Globo Gym loss, they are big favorites to win it all (they were before too, but now doubts about the Cobras have been confirmed).
Not Healy. Charlie Gilvarg dropped 29 for Barifinkle, and showed why they're number 1 in the land.
"Justin Horwitz is tough" - Team Sit on My face, also naming him to 1st team All Night League Bitch team, possibly a new team in the final awards.

Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Malkin. Boo Radley vs. Globo Gym.
#5 Theo 30 - #2 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 28

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
John Haller's 40 foot buzzer beater hit the front rim. Although Theo completely outplayed Globo Gym, a run orchestrated by John Haller's late heroics at the end kept it close.
Harry Furse. Furse scored 20 for Theo, and dominated the entire game. His pro-hop layup shot is one of the toughest to stop in all of Night League, but he proved he could hit the outside shot as well with a few baskets.
"Despite the ref's best efforts, Globo Gym still couldn't win" -Tim Stringer, possibly implying that the ref was bribed by one of Globo Gym's players. I wonder how much it was... anyway, not enough, I guess.

Up Next: Globo Gym vs. Boo Radley and Friends. Theo vs. Tuesday's With Morrie
#3 Men 46 - #7 Brown 38
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Mike Sopko started shooting. In possibly his best performance ever, Sopko hit everything he looked and showed why Men is always a threat.
Sopko. Who else? Brown played their hearts out, and Gordie Campbell dropped 27, but you can't be MVP if your team doesn't get the W. Men showing their strengths now that TJ Keene is back.
"He [Sopko] shot like he would never touch a ball again" - Alex Hankin

"Mike Maley is the most unselfish player in Night League. He is the sole reason they won" - Gordie Campbell
Up Next: Men vs. AK-47. Brown vs. Ortega.
#4 AD 31 - #10 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 26

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
AD started to press. Jim Wascher doesn't have a great ballhandler on their team, and AD took advantage of that, forcing turnovers at the right time. When Wascher tried to press back, it left Nik Appelt and Brandon Batt open.
Nik Appelt. Contrary to popular belief, he is a real person, and really burned Jim Wascher today. Obviously not respected by team Wascher, he was given open shots, and hit them. Brandon Batt also scored a lot, despite shooting very poorly from the field.
"I messed him up. Tell Brandon Batt he's next"- Tim Denenberg before the game, describing what happened to Kerby Hilardes 6th period.


Up Next: AD vs. Hungry Unicorns. Elect Judge Jim Wascher vs. OKC Thunder.

#6 AK-47 40 - #17 Tuesday's With Morrie 38

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Robert Gorodetsky fell on Charlie Polan's ankle. That's when all of AK-47's hopes of ever playing another good game went down the drain. The only thing that helped them was their opponent.
Doug Lavey. He's AK-47's best player, and led his team to victory. However, they showed they are a bad team without Robert Gorodetsky, keeping a game with TUESDAY'S WITH MORRIE close. Wow.
"Nope and don't care cause they are all fags" - Anonymous after being asked if he knew anything about this game.

"Lots of turnovers and no D. If Ahern wasn't so high they might've won" - Doug Lavey
Up Next: AK-47 vs. Men. TWM vs. Theo.
#8 Oklahoma City Thunder 52 - #13 Malkin 17

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Metro North came out with this year's schedule, and called for New Trier Blue to play Stevenson. That meant no Jeremy Rosenfeld for Malkin, and no Danny Malkin didn't help either. Jeff Dsida and Co. took advantage.
Jeff Dsida. Jeff is the fearless leader of OKC, and dominated a weak Malkin team. This game was played 5 on 4, OKC with 5. OKC scored 52, and who else on that team do you think scored a marginal amount? Credit Dsida with 20. Also, Chris Reagan contributed, scoring 8 of the first 12 for OKC.
"Reagan was the key" - JP Harvey

Up Next: OKC vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher. Malkin vs. Barifinkle.
#11 Ortega 30 - #12 Attack the Rack 29
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Nobody scored in the last 1:10. After taking a 6 point lead with 4 minutes left, Attack the Rack self-destructed, allowing a 7-0 Ortega run to end the game. Attack the Rack needed this one if they wanted a berth in the A playoffs.
Ben Morton. Morton had some late second heroics, leading Ortega's final charge propelling them to a win, a .500 record, and with Brown and Barifinkle left, they have a slim shot at the A league. They'll need some help.
"Who's more of a bitch? Ben Morton or Ho?" - Chris Sweitzer, once again discussing the new All-Star team.
Up Next: Ortega vs. Brown. Attack the Rack vs. We Are Huge in Japan.
#14 We Are Huge in Japan 23 - #15 Tallula 22

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Japan, down 22-21, got a big basket from Dronen. They went up 1, and closed the deal on defense. With Attack the Rack and Boo Radley and Friends left, they could get 1 more win, finish .500 and sneak into the A bracket. This team is 5 points, and a Willie Peppey non-foul away from being 0-6. That would be amazing.
Nick Dronen. Dronen leads a Japaneese attack that is now 3-3, with wins against Ba Dunk-A-Dunk, Hungry Unicorns, and now Tallula, #16, #18, #15. Now that's taking advantage of opportunities. Average margin of victory in those games? Less than 2.

"One beer queer" - Nick Dronen, about Joey Bartzis, who he lately referenced with a few choice words that shall remain unlisted. By the way, Dronen, Bartzis wants to hurt you, and he's very strong.

"We just want a spot in the conso bracket" - Connor O'Halleran




Up Next: Japan vs. Attack the Rack. Tallula vs. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk

#18 Hungry Unicorns 26 - #16 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 25 (3 OT)

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Ba Dunk couldn't get an and-1 at the end of the game. John Secaras' layup wasn't enough to win it, and now Ba Dunk-A-Dunk joins Tallula as the only winless teams in the league. Next week's matchup? Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Tallula. That one should be good.
Andrew Roche. Although he has a unique shot, he can get the ball in the hoop, and showed some mental toughness too, getting out of the Winless Teams group. Round of applause for Willie Peppey too, who after fouling Dronen to lose last week's game, didn't foul Secaras at the buzzer, securing his team the win.
"OK, so Alex Porter should be kept in a cage. End of story.
We were afraid of him and just couldn't match their girth. I was on fire and Heisler hit some big shots, but missed free throws killed us in the end" - Anonymous

Week 5 Recap

#1 Barfinkle/Team Sit on My Face 41 - #4 Theo 34

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Murnighan scored 8 in a row with under 4 minutes left. Theo led nearly the whole game, thanks to a stellar rebounding effort from Walt Lyon.
Ryan Murnighan (got it right?). Murnighan scored 20 in a big vindication win for Barifinkle. Star benchwarmer Walt Lyon switched allegiances pregame and suited up for Theo.
"Not Healy" - Murnighan answering the question of who game MVP was.

"He outrebounded our whole team" - Murnighan about Walt
Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Boo Radley. Theo vs. Globo Gym.
#2 Globo Gym Purple Cobras 40 - #5 AK-47 24

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Kraznow started complaining to the ref about fouls instead of playing basketball. The Hallers pounced, creating turnover after turnover after turnover.
John Haller and Matt Haller. The two combined for a double digit number of steals, wreaking havoc in AK's offense.
"We HAVE to cover the spread" - Matt Haller, with Globo Gym up 14

Up Next: Globo Gym vs. Theo. AK-47 vs. Tuesday's With Morrie.
#3 Men 35 - #9 Ortega 21
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Men showed up. They controlled this game from the beginning, and led throughout. With TJ back, they're showing that they're the team that beat Boo Radley by 62, and not the team that lost to Jim Wascher by 3.
TJ Keene. Making a big difference for Men, and coming back to play for the first time since week 2 proved the difference for Men.
"Shut up Morton" - TJ Keene
Up Next: Men vs Brown. Ortega vs. Attack the Rack
#11 Boo Radley and Friends 29 - #6 Oklahoma City Thunder 18

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Spencer Levin showed up. Boo Radley's success this year has hinged on Spencer being there or not.
Spencer Levin and Justin Horwitz. The two provided the spark Boo Radley needed, and their team is now 3-2, definitely looking past their 62 point loss earlier in the year.
"29-18. We got totally raped. To restate that I got totally raped" - Jeff Dsida


Up Next: OKC vs. Malkin. Boo Radley vs. Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face.

#7 AD 28 - #12 Malkin 26 (OT)

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Mills Rendell missed the ugliest hook shot ever. Then Brandon Batt and boys knew they had escaped with a win.
The member of AD who bribed the scorekeeper to help their team out a little. Two of Jeremy Rosenfeld's baskets were credited to AD.
"It's hard to put points on the board when the scorekeeper can't count" - Rosenfeld, about the scorekeeper

"He was bald, ugly as fuck, and had an IQ lower than Rod 'He Hate Me' Smart" - Rosenfeld, after being asked who it was
Up Next: AD vs. Elect Judge Jim Wascher. Malkin vs. OKC.
#8 Brown 60 - #16 Tuesday's With Morrie 32

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Brown stayed in Night League by turning in their $300 dollars, only 2 month late. If they hadn't turned in the money, they would've been tossed out of the league.
The Woods. The twins played the game of their life. They both scored 20 points, granted it's against the #16 team, but still a great game. Gordie Campbell helped with a lot of backcourt pressure.
"We were running all over them because the legs feed the wolf" - Gordie Campbell

Up Next: Brown vs Men. TWM vs. AK-47 .
#10 Elect Judge Jim Wascher 19 - #17 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 17
IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Dunk couldn't make their last shot. Scott Gantner grabbed the board and dribbled out the clock.
Elect's defense. They forced a ton of turnovers, and was the only reason they avoided an upset. Their offense couldn't get anything going.
"Too close. Way too close" - Tim Denenberg after being asked the outcome of the game
Up Next: Wascher vs. AD. Ba Dunk-A-Dunk vs. Hungry Unicorns.
#13 Attack the Rack 38 - #15 Tallula 30

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Tuck Daddy Jr. and Co couldn't connect and free throws. Team Tallula went 2 of 12 from the charity stripe. They reached their low point of the season when Teddy Challenger tackled Peter Lind in frustration.
Sam Shapiro. A career game for Shapiro, quite possibly the high of his athletic career. You can't underestimate 10 points on the #15 team in the league. I think Attack the Rack's found their 6th man.

"I dropped 10! Leading scorer baby!" - Sam Shapiro, obviously very excited about his mediocre performance.




Up Next: Attack the Rack vs Ortega. Tallula vs We Are Huge in Japan.

#14 We Are Huge in Japan 36 - #18 Hungry Unicorns 34

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Willie Peppey commited a foul on Nick Dronen at halfcourt. Dronen made the front end of the one and one, then added the second one on for good measure.
Nick Dronen. Can't underestimate how clutch his free throw was. Let's be honest: Japan needs to get any win it can, and this win puts them to 2-3, giving them a slim hope of the A Bracket.
"Hermanson, put me as MVP of that shit" - Nick Dronen, in memory of Brandon Batt

Midseason Awards

The Brian Fantana Memorial "Hey, Champ, Maybe You Should Stop Talking For Awhile" Award

This award goes to none other than Brandon Batt, who is getting a lot of criticism for how much he's talking about himself, and his team. Batt and AD are 4-0, but have yet to beat a team with more than 1 win.


THE CHRIS WEBBER AWARD FOR "MOST EGREGIOUS NO-SHOW IN A PIVOTAL GAME"

TJ Keene. I understand he's hurt, but TJ has missed 2 games in a row, including Men's first loss. He also wasn't there in Men's loss to Globo Gym 61-47 after finals were over Friday. Men definitely is not the same team without TJ, and if they wanna go all the way, he definitely is gonna have to be part of it.

The Anthony Smith Award for "Latest evidence that karma points really do exist"

Remember when that no-name safety from the Steelers predicted that his team would beat the 12-0 Patriots (aka The Greatest Team of All-Time) last year? The Steelers lost 34-13. This award goes to Alex Hankin, who on "Overtime" predicted the results for the rest of the year for each team. He predicted Men to go 8-0 this season. Of course, the next week, they lost their first game and now sit at 3-1. Actually, this week I explained why Globo Gym was number 1. Let's hope this theory doesn't work out all the time.

The Arizona Cardinal, "Nobody Believed in Us!" Award

This one's a tie between AD and OKC Thunder. 17 and 18 ranked strength of schedule rankings cancel out these teams 4-0 records. Both teams are lobbying for respect, but we'll see what happens when AD has to play AK-47 Week 8, and we'll have to wait to see if OKC plays anybody decent in the playoffs, since nobody on their regulation schedule is any good.

The 2008 Memphis Tigers Award for Biggest Team Weakness That Hasn't Yet Been Exposed That Everyone Thinks Has to Be Exposed Eventually

To the Globo Gym Purple Cobras, who have been making their case for #1, yet most say don't have a legitimate big man. Men has the Twin Towers, Barifinkle has two taller towers in Charlie Gilvarg and Stu Voit. Yet Kerby Hilardes and Brantner Jones are Globo Gym's big men, and most don't think they can compete with the best. Memphis' free throw shooting caught up to them in the National Championship game...


And without further ado, here are the real awards for the first half of the season

Midseason All-America Teams

First Team:
Ryan Murnighan
Willy Moore
Jeff Dsida
Chris Sweitzer
John Haller

Second Team:
Robert Gorodetsky
TJ Keene
Matt Haller
Joe Lankford
Stu Brown

Third Team:
Harry Furse
Ben Morton
Doug Lavey
Charlie Gilvarg
Conor Healy

Fourth Team:
Nick Dronen
Walt Lyon
Ryan Rakocy
Stu Voit
Scott Gantner (he shoots 90% for cryin out loud)



League MVP

Jeff Dsida. When you look at the top 4 teams record wise so far, you have players such as Ryan Murnighan, Chris Sweitzer, John Haller, and Jeff Dsida. It's hard to imagine someone who's done more for their team than Jeff has. He has single-handedly taken his team to the top of the league at 4-0, and although it's been against the weakest schedule, he's still dominating. Other candidates in this category: Ryan Murnighan, John Haller, Chris Sweitzer, Willy Moore, TJ Keene, Robert Gorodetsky, Matt Haller.

Tyler Sugiyama Best "Hustle" Player

Henry Perry. This kid runs the point on the most underrated fast team, Elect Judge Jim Wascher. Their defense is a swarm attack on whoever has the ball, and Henry is a key element to that attack. Their swarm defense is one of the reasons why they pulled off the upset of the year. Other candidates in this category: Ben Morton, Peter Lind.

Best Shooter

John Haller. After playing the last few days with Barifinkle and Men, Ryan Murnighan has become a real candidate for this position. Robert Gorodetsky is always a threat to be here as well, but I still haven't been swayed out of the mindset that John Haller is the best shooter in Night League. When he's on, it seems as if everything goes in from everywhere, no matter how good your defense on him is. Other candidates in this category: Ryan Murnighan, Robert Gorodetsky, Joe Lankford, Brandon Batt.

Best Rebounder

Stu Voit. TJ Keene and Doug Lavey are both contenders in this category, but I've seen Stu rebound, and he's just so tall and always in the right position. Although he may not be the best at putting the ball back in the hoop, he sure can graba board. Stu is a key part of Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face, and their height, along with Charlie Gilvarg, is a big part of their success. Other candidates in this category: TJ Keene, Doug Lavey, Charlie Gilvarg, Walt Lyon, Willy Moore.

Best Ball-Handler

Ryan Murnighan. I think this is the award that is easiest to choose, because Ryan sees the court better than anyone in Night League, and his ball-handling skills are terrific. He plays point for Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face, and every time he gets on a fast break, he's never out of control, and always finds the open man or scores himself. Other candidates in this category: John Haller, Jeff Dsida.

Best Blocker

TJ Keene. Here's where the volleyball skills come in handy. In addition to being 6'3", TJ may have the highest vertical in Night League. Combine that with great instinct and an enormous wingspan, and you've got best blocker. Other candidates in this category: Charlie Gilvarg, Doug Lavey, Stu Voit.

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE

Leading scorer for Theo keeps them in the playoff race at 2-2. Also gives them a big win in a rivalry that started freshman year. Gorodetsky should be quiet for a few days.

#6 Oklahoma City Thunder 37 - #17 Ba Dunk-A-Dunk 28

"It's tough to win when they're on a 30 minute powerplay" - Mike McGarry (Malkin played with just 4)
Up Next: Malkin vs. AD. Ortega vs. Men.

IT WAS OVER WHEN...GAME BALL GOES TO...QUOTE
Stu Brown made the only basket in the extra session, to give Brown their 2nd win, and put them currently in the playoff picture.
Chris Kennedy. The sophomore replacement for an injured Christian Sarkisian proved he can play with the upperclassmen. Look for a possible addition to Brown's current roster.
