Week 4: Mission Wildcats vs. Take THAT for Big Data

The second game of the night featured Mission Wildcats (2-1) taking on Take THAT for Big Data (1-2) and showcased perhaps the most dominant individual performance of the season thus far. Like the previous game, the scoring opened up with two individuals draining multiple threes for their teams, with Matt Bissel on the Mission Wildcats and Boskovich for Data. Bissel was unconscious from deep, hitting 3 in a row to open up the game but Boskovich was quick to counter with a pair of his own.

In the second half, Patrick Dreith became a man possessed as he could not miss from the field. In a game where he would finish with a season high 41 points (26 in the second half), the big man for Data knocked down 6 triples including the eventual game winning dagger that finalized Big Data’s comeback and put them ahead late. On the Wildcat side, the hot shooting in the first half cooled off, as Nixon was the only consistent scorer for the game, finishing with 18 points. Along with Dreith, the solid guard play from Jordan Mautner helped manage the comeback and his 10 points proved to be a key to the eventual win. For the Wildcats, Santry finished with 15 and Bissel with 12 in the loss.

Take THAT for Big Data is now 2-2 on the season with the two losses coming on forfeits. In both of their games, they’ve had a scorer finish with 30+ points so the possibility of an explosive performance looms for any opponent. Mission Wildcats are also now 2-2 on the season.

Right from the tip, it was mono e mono as the sharpshooter for Remy Boyz, Sebastien Damas, and scorer down low for Sauce, Jeff Stefanis, went back and forth scoring multiple baskets for their respective teams. In the first half, Damas lead Remy Boyz with a quick 12 points and Stefanis was able to contribute 11 points in the opening moments of the half. The reliable scoring duo of Peter Horn and Sean Brennan picked up where they’ve left off all year long scoring the rest of the points for Remy Boyz in the first half. For TeamGotSauce, Josh Roberts was strong on the block helping his team on the boards and scoring 10 points in the first half. All together 7 players on Sauce get on the scoreboard in the first half, letting them pull out to a 45-30 lead at the half.

In the second, Sauce’s scoring from deep and the team’s overall depth became too much. Ankur Sharma and Will Winston combined for 4 total threes in the half that allowed Sauce to extend their halftime lead. The nail in the coffin came toward the end of the game with a hellacious slam dunk from Josh Roberts. To close the second half, most of Remy Boyz scoring came from 3 players: Brennan with 18, Damas with 15, and Horn with 14.

On the season, Remy Boys fall to 1-3. Unlike Sauce, depth has been a problem for Remy Boyz but with a full lineup, the scoring is there to make them competitive with any team in the league.

Week 4 - Pippen Aint Easy vs. Reckless Recruiting

This game would be best identified as an intense defensive game. Right after the tip, both teams were trying to figure out what offense would work, it was quite a difficult match up as both teams came on the court running man defense. Offense was hard to come by for both squads. The big guys began to dominate with various post moves and did whatever it took to put points on the board. Team Pippen began to get multiple rebounds and second chance points on the offensive side followed by good shot defense and steals on the defensive side. RR really didn’t seem to have much of an answer the entire first half. However, changing match-ups and switching into zone defense managed to keep their opponents scoring low. Pippen’s Center Zinsli #0 started the game off with a three pointer and only got hotter as the game went on.

Going into the half it was a low scoring half for both teams, Pippen Aint Easy 13 - Reckless Recruiting 7.

RR came out in the second half still looking for ways to put points on the board while PAE found the answer and didn’t look back from that moment. With almost everyone scoring on Team Pippen, the hustle player of the game was Zinsli, who posted a season high 20 points scoring 15 in the second half by his self. He stuffed his stat sheet with fast break points, rebounds, steals and shooting a high percentage from the field. Team Reckless players M.Boylan #5 and P.Wilson #7 tried their best to keep their team in the game but the shooting barrage from PAE closed the game out once and for all.

With some of their key players struggling with fouls and others with shooting, the off night now makes the Wildcats 2-1 overall. With 3 players in double digits (Ian Halpern, Nahrek Hartoonian, and Miller with 14,13, and 11), The Bricklayers are now 3-0 and the team to beat in the league.

Week 3 - Trust the Process vs. Reckless Recruiting

For game 2, Trust the Process (1-1) took on a Reckless Recruiting team looking for their first win of the season. Early on, Trust the Process went on a scoring spree while Reckless Recruiting had an equally slow start. Much like their game last week, Reckless was able to weather the initial onslaught and keep the game competitive. On the green side, 6 players were able to get in the points column in the first half, once again making their case as one of the most balanced teams in the league. Leading those six scorers were Joe Lee down low with 12 first half points and Sumit Mitra and Phil Opamuratowongse with 4 total tres combined. However, the guard play from Emery Montelibano and mid-range shots from Matt Sauer kept Reckless in the game, only trailing 37-26 at the half.

In the second half, foul trouble on the grey side combined with the relentless scoring from Trust the Process made any hopes of a second half comeback disappear. Trust the Process’s deep bench, offensive threats, and high energy defense proved to be the difference. To close the game, 4 players for Process ended with double digits: Joe Lee with 14, Phil Opamuratowongse with 13, Sumit Mitra with 11, and Brad Lookabaugh with 10. On the Reckless Recruiting side, Matt Sauer did his best old school Antoine Walker impersonation scoring down low, from mid-range, and even knocking down a 3 with ease. He finished with a night high 21 points. Final score at the end of this one, Trust the Process 64 to 51.

Trust the Process is now 2-1 on the season and once again proved they will be one of the hardest teams to stop offensively. They currently have 4 players averaging double figures in scoring and their high intensity defense makes for a deadly combination. Reckless Recruiting will continue to look for that first win next week and have some big offensive threats that definitely make it attainable any week

Final Score: Trust the Process 64 – Reckless Recruiting 51

Game 3 - Pippen Ain’t Easy vs. Remy Boys

To open up the week 3 action at Mission Dolores, Pippen Ain’t Easy (0-2) took on Remy Boyz (1-1). Jonathan Carrol started the game off hot scoring from down low, the free throw line, and from deep to lead the team with 9 points in the first half. Down low, Jamie Smith complimented Carrol’s all around scoring with five points of his own. For the undermanned Remy Boyz, for much of the game the scoring came from the shifty forward Sean Brennan and stretch shooter Kodie Critzer. The duo combined for all but 2 points for Remy Boyz in the first half. After 20 minutes, the score was close with Pippen Ain’t Easy leading 21-19.

The second half shifted into a possession battle as both teams struggled to score in a tough fought and offensively lacking half. Pippen’s lock down defense, particularly on Remy Boyz leading scorers, allowed the team to pull ahead as Remy Boyz was only able to score 7 points total in the second half. Jamie Smith was consistent throughout for Pippen to finish the game with 10 points and Jonathan Carrol lead the team with 11. Much like the first half, most of the scoring for Remy Boyz relied on Sean Brennan and Kodie Critzer, with 11 and 10 points respectively. At the end of 40 minutes, Pippen pulls away for a 33 to 26 victory.

Pippen Ain’t Easy now has one win on the season putting them at 1-2. Every game Pippen is involved in is competitive as their team dynamics and playing style dictate games to rely on efficient possessions. They will continue to be a tough team to beat, especially if they find their shot. On the Remy Boyz side, bench depth played a factor as they struggled to find offense with some key scorers missing. They are now 1-2 on the season, but even at less than full strength they show that they have players that can keep them in any game.

Final Score: Pippen Ain’t Easy 33 – Remy Boyz 26

Week 3 - TeamGotSauce vs. Stifle Browser

The ZBL game held at the San Francisco Y.M.C.A this past Monday night at 8pm was a hard fought game to say the less.

The two teams, Stifle Browser and TeamGotSauce, both battled a hard 40 minutes. Browser got off to a hot start with point guard Tyler Barksdale draining 4 three pointers to start the game. TeamGotSauce continued there attack-the-paint method with continuous lay-ups keeping them in reach. As team Browser continued there barrage, TeamGotSauce had no choice but to call timeout to calm the scoring run down. With TGS coming out of the timeout, they began to create more open shots and also began shooting at range which switched the momentum of the game. The defense became much tighter, they forced tougher shots and frustrated the SB forwards as they tried to attack the basket.

As the second half began Pete Greene and Barksdale both decided to attack the rack and take over again for SB. Multiple pick-and-rolls and dribble drives froze defenders and started working in there favor but TeamGotSauce was still on fire from downtown.

Week 2 – Trust the Process vs Take That for Big Data

The first week 2 game at the YMCA Buchanan was a matchup between the Winter 18 runner-ups, Take That for Big Data, and Trust the Process who returned from a seasons hiatus from the ZBL. Both teams started by trading off buckets with a few huge performances from well-known ZBL scorers.

Austin Liou picked up right where he left off and began his campaign to be the first repeat ‘Get Buckets’ winner in the ZBL. Throughout the game, he got to the line at will and finished 10/11 from the charity stripe. He outperformed his Winter 18 PPG average and finished with 30 points. TTBD’s versatile big man Patrick Dreith lived up to the Karl Anthony Towns comparisons by scoring both inside and out, finishing with 16 points and cleaning up on the boards.

Trust the Process plays a great team game and is helped by their depth with all 9 guys in attendance for the second straight week. Brad Lookabaugh who scored from all over the place and finished with 17 points led Trust the Process in a close game. Joe Lee helped keep the game close scoring 10 of his 15 points in the second half. Fan favorite, Phil “The Alphabet” Opamuratawongse also finished in double digits with 10 points. Despite a great effort, Trust the Process were unable to knock off Take That for Big Data.

Trust the Process is making a name for themselves for their ability to score from range and keep fresh legs out on the court. On the other end, the ZBL has yet to find a team that can handle to powerhouse combination that is Austin Liou and Patrick Dreith.

Final Score: Take That for Big Data 75 – Trust the Process 68

Week 2 – Hezi-Pullup Jimbo vs TeamGotSauce

Two ZBL expansion teams faced off in the second game at the YMCA Buchanan in week 2. After a rebranding campaign, TeamGotSauce (previously TeamNotHot) came out saucin’ and took an early lead against HPJ. Nicky Khurana might have a second career as a painter with the way he was putting up buckets inside. He led the way for TGS with 20 points. Captain Sam Wagner and Ankur Sharma helped out by putting up 14 and 13 respectively.

Hesi-Pullup Jimbo are still looking to build their team chemistry and learn where their guys like to score from out on the court. They have some solid individual talent, demonstrated by one of our resident Zog free agent journeyman, Shawn Swim, who led his team with 12 points. PG Ethan Bush and Brandon Johnson also dropped in 8 points a piece.

TeamGotSauce came away with a 15 point victory in this one. They are still somewhat of an unknown in the ZBL and look to use that to their advantage. For HPJ, developing championship chemistry can take some time so I wouldn’t count them out just yet to put together a win streak and work their way back up through the standings.

Final Score: TeamGotSauce 57 – Hezi-Pullup Jimbo 42
