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

Up Next: Japan vs Tallula. Hungry Unicorns vs Ba Dunk-A-Dunk.
