Amazingly, the buzz in the gym was that the other team in this fight for the title had allegedly dropped their game the night before to a hungry, young team and this made last night's game for the Pubbers "Win and we are in"!
It was now for sole possession of the Title - for the 2nd year in a row - and the visions of another beautiful green t-shirt (or possibly a plastic trophy if the team votes that way) slipping over the Pubbers was enough to fuel this short bench team into a frenzy.
From the opening tip, it was clear the Pubbers were focused and determined to repeat their regular season title run last night!!!
The passing was crisp and patient - -the shots were falling, the defense (save for a seemingly 10-10 three pointer performance put on by their point guard OVER yours truly) was staunch, the rebounding and driving were firing on all cylinders! It was one of our best performances by all of the squad and it could not have come at a better time!!!
When the dust settled and Jeff had gotten so into the head of one of their players that a proffer to engage in pugilistic activities ensued -(it was denied and never commenced) - the Pubbers had decimated their opponent and basked - ever so briefly - in their repeat title performance!!
However, that basking lasted all of 13 seconds as the focus shifted to the next round and our next playoff opponent for the REAL QUEST - the Ring!!!!
All hands on deck, Pubbers --- we hit one milestone last night, increased to 10-2 overall - Regular Season Champs - but we now face our biggest battle!!!!!
We will do it --- we will insure all of our hard work was not in vain -- and we willl fight to the death in our pursuit of this Title we came ever so close to capturing last year!!!!
GAME NOTES: TJ turned ankle slightly but is ok. Doug pulled off hot three point shooter and kid goes O-fer rest of game -- nice work Rob et al. Best Defense vs own team however does go to DF!! Great TEAM effort and win -everyone contributed!!
Next game and playoff schedule TBD!!!!
