With a full team in tact-(minus munster). Blue Raced out to an early 15 point lead mainly in part to the soft zone our opponent chose to match up in. They called time and switched into a man. Gurney ran isolation's for himself and Mann there help D was non existent and when it did come Barney stepped it up and solly was able to spot up for good looks. We had a comfortable lead going into the second half. Defensively we got a little lazy in the second half missing assignments and losing track of our guys but Mann stepped it up big-time going for 30 + Barney was a presence both on Offense and Defense end. Gurney managed the game well, and Elmann was solid on D (exception when he lost his man on open 3) we shot well as a team, didnt turn over the ball, accountability on D was an issue which we needed to address-
A WIN IS WIN....Gurney was quoted after the game saying. I actually know someone that after winning a league championship was so disappointed with his and his teams performance he chucked his trophy- and basically that was sentiment for this game. UGLY is an understatement for the way the game was played last night only to be fair the officials had a terrible game as well botching up calls, rules, the clock and failed to have any control over the game. Chemistry may have been an issue for us, For the first time all season we had a full team we opened up in a man and from the on set we were slow uninspired unmotivated, settling for bad shots and careless with the ball- Mann was carrying the load with the scoring and aside from him no one was doing anything offensively as bad as our offense was our defense was worse- a ridiculous claim by some guys on the team was they were "making crazy shots"- we were getting out hustled, We didn't help,no communication Barney was pretty much a no show Elmann generally a terror on the floor was reduced to error. They Boxed - Michael Mann and our offense went into a funk - game went back and forth- barney made a tough catch and reverse layup to put us up one - where we held up to escape with that margin - Missed layups, defensive assignments, turnovers, lazy- would be a way to sum this game up inexcusable
