BooBaJones Playoff Edition- Pigs will fly,

 Elephants would ride  in the Indy 500 Orson Wells would skip Breakfast, Lunch and  Dinner in the same day  Before NC State would be Houston in the 82 finals The same odds applied to us tonight in our playoff match up against the 9-1 green team. Haim called me up before the game asking me to match him on Freddy Mann yup the same one that clipped us for 30+ last time we played I was adamantly against it he insisted and with Humility I will admit he was right. We opened up in man and quickly found our self stuck 10. There big man who i was matched up against was hitting from all over the floor dominating the boards and putting Barney in foul Trouble. We switched to a match up zone, with slightly better results. I am going to say something nice not about the other team now ( i generally reserve criticism to our team) They played dumb,  instead of putting us away they let us hang around and despite dominating the half they were only up four. We shifted our defense to a box and one with haim playing the one - and forcing Freddy Mann to give up the ball and forcing him to drive to the help - Solly as usual was in the mix of things stepping in front of balls doing the small things - Mike Mann was carrying the offense load and was playing inspired Defense. Through the second half we were down 6- 8 points, Barney made a couple of baskets one of an assist by Munster one of the positive things he did tonight, we got to with in 2 then Mike Mann hit a deep three to put us up one they came back and took the lead- Mike Mann got us up one again - They came down and missed- they fouled after letting 5 seconds go off the clock- we missed they came down and didn't get a shot off as time expired. Notes of the game: Haim, Myself, and Munster probably shot a combined 0 -24 ( that's a real stat) Haim Held Freddy to a single basket - Mike Mann was tremendous on both ends of the floor, Solly did the usual not in the box score stuff , Despite the Foul trouble Barney Was solid on the glass and made a huge presence in the game...We Match up with Yellow in the Finals - they beat us pretty bad last time game ball - Mike Mann
