THE REAL 2008 CHAMPIONSHIP - Breakdown Commish Style

Feb 26, 2008
   

Cutten vs Jeromy.
Offensively this battle is a draw. Cutten is better away from the hoop and has a better outside shot. Jeromy is the last of a dying breed of big men and currently the best post player in the L. (BA is playing on a farm team in sask). On the offensive glass jeromy has the edge and always seems to get 4 or 5 O boards a game. This will be a war complete with kidney blasts and elbows. Looks for sparks between these two heroines.

Wizard vs Shipwreck (Perry)
Wizardry factor edge obviously goes to the wizard. His up and under spells have dazzled many defenders. He recently returned from a stint in AA Edmonton where he went back to school to work on his outside shot. Reports from the butterdome indicate his shot has improved. On the other end of the tofu block you have the leagues most dangerous man. Shippy has jersey holding skills cheap players dream about. After receiving an early season berating from the Godfather in turkey and GM Healy, Perry turned his games around, he checked in with Tobi and Cory, went back to his roots and started to play in SNYB he also started eating steak and chicken (last sentence a lie) Look for the wizard to pull tricks out of his hat and look for Perry to counter with vegan elbow blasts. Ever seen the wizard mad? Get ready.

Commish vs Deh Cho destroyer (Dez) this battle has developed over the ages, trust me. Ever since Jim Antoine asked the Commish to accompany him on a MLA visit to Simpson the air has been filled with tension. Dez questioned his fathers true love like a 2pm soap opera. “How can you do donuts in an GNWT truck with the Commish and not even lend me your bravo?” From this point on the destroyer has made it his vendetta to hammer the commish. He has won titles in consecutive years and continues to pull the strings on championships.
Offensive skills edge DCD
Three Point bomb – Edge even. Although the commish has been sited at 7am schooling AWG guards Tyler and Eman in three point contests!
Defense – To blow my own horn, I’m very underrated as a defender. Edge Commish.
Basketball IQ – Edge Commish. Not debatable.
Overall even


DC vs Colin
More like an under card to a heavy weight battle but still worth the price of admission. DC plays with in his realm and doesn’t try to do thing he can’t. GM Healy drafted him for this very reason. Not many people know but DC is one of the best fast ball players in YK. His skills with a bat are night and day compared to his free throw shooting an lay-ups. One other note DC may be the only coach to win at the Junior A level against southern competition, not sure what this means.
Colin is one of the most talented players in the league and has a deadly fade and outside shot.
DC like to get wet and isn’t afraid to get in others players shorts?
Edge DC he is hungrier.


God vs Titan (Cory vs Nick Diem) Battles such as this are best saved for bookshelves and bathroom reading. The ultimate scoring machine vs the ultimate WOWer. The stat man tells me Nick will win the regular season scoring title. What does this mean? Nothing. All that is left is one game to decide who is the better scorer. Lets take a closer look.
Outside shot – Edge Cory. Not much debate here, when he gets hot a Rug gut punch won’t even stop him. You just have to roll with the punches and hope he gets tired. Nick is also an excellent outside shooter but Cory’s years of shooting in the east pushed his through.
Driving to the hoop – two distinct driving styles. Cory is a bull with lead pellets in his a$$, loves to scream even if he isn’t touched and rarely doesn’t finish. Nick on the other hand cuts to the hoop in a contained fluid motion, similar to DC peeing himself when he shoots free throws.
Edge even.
Leadership skills – Both players don’t say much on the court an let their skills do their talking. Noble attributes that a certain J .Ball could learn from.
Edge even
Rebounding – Both players like to hear their hands slap the ball. Nick has improved his vert over the years, cory use to be able to dunk and still gets up for rebounds.
Edge Cory, Nick gets lazy sometimes.
Killer instint – Cory doesn’t like to turn the ball over – watch him when he does you know thors hammer is coming down on your paws. Nick doesn’t mind turning it over and his laid back style blends nicely.
Edge Cory.
Overall edge Cory. Too strong. Too determined to win.

Thursday 8:00 Weledeh. BK vs Hot Shots breakdown to follow.
