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