3-on-3, 5-on-5 and 4-on-4

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

In Game 1, there was a collision between Denver’s Dan “The Tick” Soder and Dan “Mr. Burns from The Simpsons” Allen. Allen’s elbow is slightly fucked up but he might be able to play this Sunday.

Fisch and List were confused at Comix when they heard Allen’s joke, “I only attract girls who find Skeletor sexy.” Fisch and List agreed that Skeletor isn’t a logical choice because although he is a “skeleton”. He’s more muscular than Allen will ever hope to achieve.

The day started with a 3-on-3 tournament.

Game 1
Aldous, Bergman and Allen beat McCarthy, Hirshon and Soder (16-8). Bargatze, Shaki and List beat local Astorians Jason, Ronnie and Nick.

Game 2
Aldous, Bergman and Allen beat Jason, Ronnie and Nick (15-7). McCarthy turned on the heat and scored 14 points to help his teammates Hirshon and Soder beat Bargatze, List and Shaki (16-4).

The games then morphed into 5-on-5 full court.

Game 3
Aldous, Bergman, Allen, McCarthy and Nick won (19-12)

Game 4
Aldous, Bergman, Allen, McCarthy and Nick won again (19-12)

The games then became 4-on-4 half-court.

Game 5
Hirshon, List, Bargatze and a local Astorian won (16-13). (Note: Possible Vanderbilt graduate Bargatze modestly claims he scored 14 of those 16 points.)

Game 6
???????

Game 7
Aldous, Berman, Allen and McCarthy came back and won the final game (19-12)

It was day of slaughter or be slaughtered. Each team had an Achilles Heel that was only vulnerable to certain teams. Think Mega-Man (circa 1990):

Each team could be represented by a Robot Master.

Fire Man: Bergman, Moody, Nick, Allen
Strength: Three-point ability, rebounds, Moody’s left hand
Weakness: 2 out 40 three point attempts

Ice Man: Aldous, Kareman, Bargatze, List
Strength: Aldous’ tenacity, Bargatze’s fade-away, List’s perimeter shot, Kareman’s defense
Weakness: Lack of three point shooting, Joe “Pukey McGee” List (see Boulger)

Bomb Man: Fisch, Hirshon, Boulger, Jason
Strength: Fisch’s spaz power, Hirshon’s uncanny ability to ride Fisch’s coat tail, Boulger’s penetration
Weakness: Fisch’s sweat, Jason’s inability to pass, Boulger staying out late with List

PLAY OF THE DAY:
Allen’s profile three point shot.

MVP:
Julio (????)
