Touching Chris Kaman: Game 2

For Game 1 results and highlights click here.

I’m a little sore today — oh man, I’m getting old — so instead I’m passing off last night’s Game 2 recap to TCK’s pseudo-center Dub. So here you go, roughly 94% of this recap is his:

The team we played last night was a bunch of big guys and we got killed on the boards. Their guards were pretty weak though so Tony, Skeets and Kieran basically abused them all night. They mainly scored in the post or on second chance rebounds — more times than not from the weak side.

Late in the second half we were down by 3 or 4 but we started to go on a run. Kieran’s forehead was split open by an accidental elbow, but one of us clocked one of their guys as well. I think we all had at least one shot swatted away at some point in the game. We managed to tie it up and eventually got up by one.

On our last possession, maybe 25 seconds left, I drove to the hoop for what would have been a tough lay-up, but I spotted Skeets in the corner, who calmly knocked down the nail in the coffin. (Ed. Thank God it wasn’t a left-handed lay-up.) We win by 2.

Individually: Skeets and Tony were lights out and Kieran handed out some LBJ type of punishment to his man on the inside. (Serious strength baskets for him.) I played okay but lost my shooting towards the end. Tas played all right as well, but no buckets for him and he had some defensive difficulties. He locked it down for the last 3 minutes though.

It was a good game all around; a gritty win for the team.

    LBJ type of punishment. LBJ= Lyndon B Johnson or =LeBron James? Were they bombed into the Stone Age or over powered by an overabundance of skill and ability?

    Way to play well for 3 minutes Tas…do you wear #15 or what?

    Kieran’s a military man, so I’d say a bit from both.

    (After one particularly nice play, Kieran saluted the scorekeeper.)

    Wish I was there! I love breaking down big guys with some, “whoops-a-daisy”, shake and bake. Holla!

    I know I played horrible, it was a rough sleep last night. Dub, maybe if you didn’t call for me to pass the ball every time it touched my hands, some shots would have gone down.
    Settons, just washed my arm pits. They’re ready for a facial on your weak jumper.

    I think you passed up a great opportunity to spread the TBJ name around Toronto by not getting the powers that be to sponsor your team. Someone should write the big basketball head at the Jones and tell them to give you some sponsorship money.

    That or write Chris Kaman himself and demand he cough up some dough for the free premotion. Or demotion. Apparently depending on how Tas plays defense ;)

    In case you didn’t notice, Tas and I have chosen to speak through the media. It makes for more drama.

    […] I mean, sure, we could roll with “The Basketball Jones” (bor-ing), “Touching Chris Kaman” (awesome, but taken), “The Zora Neale Troy Hudsons” (odd, possibly controversial), or “Chad” (slightly intriguing), but the truth is we want one of you to name it. Yeah, this way our team will be like one of your own. (No, not even close…) […]
