Thanks! It has been fun and interesting to put together, but not something I'm looking to sustain if it will always take the 45 min or so to compile it. My hope is that whatever the new version of BB is will be more friendly to exporting data (especially the PBP) so something like AI could read it easier and not make the same dumb mistakes it always makes.

The wheels continue to come off on this FR-S... Maybe the pending return of Clement Mullins can help right the ship. Went 3-3 in games with him and have gone 0-3 since... Them again 2 of those wins were 1 points victories, so maybe this was always false hope...

📅 League II.4 | Week 9 Recap – Road Blocks & Breakouts (Saturday, August 9, 2025)

From statement wins to unexpected stumbles, cross-division play opened with a bang—and a few warning shots.
⸻
🏆 GOTW: Innovatus 92 - Delta 9 76 ⚡
Two teams looking to plant their flags in cross-division play met, but only Innovatus kept theirs standing. C. Zigui was a wrecking ball — 39 points, 12 boards, 3 blocks — shredding Delta’s interior rotations. Shelley (16/15) and Olmos (18/4/4/3 stl) tried to drag Delta back, but Innovates ran away in the 4th for a compelling 16 point signature win that could loom large in playoff seeding.
⸻
💣 Llama of Wall Street 89 - The Reductions 80 🦙
Llama brought the chaos—and the defense—swiping 14 steals and forcing the Reductions into 21 turnovers. Jurtaugas (15/4/3/5 stl) was the defensive engine, while Babenko dropped a steady 20. The Reductions’ Râsnoveanu put up a monstrous 28 rebounds to go with 17 points, but foul trouble and cold shooting from the front court left them behind all night and at the buzzer.
⸻
🔥 Kiwi Sheep Pimps 124 - FR-S 97 🐑
Kiwi’s dealt an evenhanded beatdown to FR-S on their home court. Palma produced off the bench (24/5/6) and Katerskis (24 pts) led an outside attack that FR-S couldn’t contain. Zviedris (25/10) battled, but Kiwi’s size and pace never let FR-S breathe. Three quarters of abuse left 12 minutes of scraps for the scrubs.
⸻
🚀 Wobbles 105 - Ferth Ozone 85
Wobbles played it tight and methodical, riding Rivera’s 26-point outburst that left Samara’s take the night off. Wob kept Ferth from ever finding rhythm despite great efficiency from Faltýnek and Spuldzinieks (22 for 29 between the two).
⸻
🐅 Wasco Tigers 99 - BC Lituanica 85
Pisano (24/13) led Wasco’s brilliant attack against Lituanica, holding a +20 reb edge. Lituanica’s Baratović and Pessach have been MIA so far this season, which is likely the reason for their being on the chopping block all year.
⸻
🪑 Bench Mob 114 - Wellington Warthogs 100
A clean, efficient night for Bench Mob, hitting nearly 50% from the field and keeping Wellington’s runs at bay. Bunn was impressive for the Warthogs (25/10 ast), but Bench Mob’s depth was the difference.
⸻
📉 California Supreme 63 - Meridian Hill McMornings 87
Supreme never found their stroke, hitting under 40% and getting beat on the boards by 15. Meridian’s Nash kept the tempo high, and their defense stifled any comeback hopes.
⸻
🍽 Tasty Tardsicles 127 - The White Walkers 31
Triple-double from Lovaina (20/13/11) and led to more (stat) stuffing than a Thanksgiving Dinner featuring Jiminy Glick.
⸻
📊 Stat Sheet Nuggets
• Top Scorer: C. Zigui (Innovatus) – 39 pts
• Top Rebounder: B. Râsnoveanu (The Reductions) – 28 reb
• Top Assists: J. Baratović (BC Lituanica) – 13 ast
• MVP: C. Zigui (Innovatus) – 39 pts / 12 reb / 3 blk

🔮 What It Means
The Great 8 only took 3 of the 8 road wins this week compared to the Big 8’s 4 from last week. Innovatus and Kiwi both making strong statements. Delta 9 and The Reductions stumble, Wobbles stays steady, and Bench Mob did their job. Game 10 will tell us if these shifts are trends…or just mid-season jitters (is that a thing?!).

📅 League II.4 | Week 10 Recap – Buzzer Beaters, Big Boards & Bounce-Backs (Tuesday, Aug 12, 2025)
From last-second heartbreakers to stat lines that look like typos, Week 10 reminded everyone why cross-division nights hit different.

🏆 GOTW: Wobbles 105 – Kiwi Sheep Pimps 106 🐑
It all came down to two seconds. Wobbles erased a late gap and took a 104-103 lead with 0:28 left. Kiwi drew up a perfect inbounds look for Gaffney—missed it. That turned into a hack-a-Hosemann (80% on the year), who split his freebies. Down 105-104, Katerskis pushed the ball and found Gaffney, this time from Curry-range…splash. Kiwi survived a wild finish behind Rae (26) and steady glass work from Guaraes (15 reb), while Rivera triple-doubled for Wobbles in the loss.
⸻
⚡ Wellington Warthogs 111 – Tasty Tardsicles 102 🐗
Tasty carried a nine-point lead into the 4th before Wellington detonated—+18 in the final frame. Bunn led with 25/8, Abrahamsohn posted a 10/12/11 triple-double, and six Warthogs scored in double figures. Tasty got 17 from Kwong but couldn’t stem the tide once Wellington’s depth started landing punches.
⸻
💪 Ferth Ozone 107 – Innovatus 97
Ferth had the scout nailed, picking apart Innovatus’ 3-2 zone with inside work. Kochanski was ruthlessly efficient (22/13/5/3 blk) and Faltýnek added muscle on the boards. Ikoma poured in 30 for Innovatus, but without stops inside, it was chasing shadows all night.
⸻
🏀 Meridian Hill McMornings 96 – Wasco Tigers 94 🐅
A ‘90s-style post duel broke out here. Tied at 94 with three seconds left, Kotrokois drove and drew a whistle—Wasco swears it was soft and they may have a point given that league officials have yet to release the final 2 minute report. Kotrokois hit both, and Meridian snuck out with a road win. Davis carried Wasco, but the Tigers couldn’t get their late game-winner to fall.
⸻
🛋 Bench Mob 83 – Delta 9 68
This was a bricklayer’s convention—neither team cracked 35% from the floor. McFadden dominated the glass (19 reb) for BM, and Delta’s Olmos had a tidy 12/7/7, but no one broke 17 points.
⸻
🪄 BC_Lituanica 105 – Llama of Wall Street 89 🦙
A huge 4th-quarter surge (+16) gave Lituanica a much-needed win. Pessach found his bag (32/6/5), Baratović orchestrated (15 ast), and Skrzypacz went point-Mutumbo, swatting six. Kung yung kept Llama afloat with 21, but their poor shooting did them in.
⸻
🔥 California Supreme 136 – FR-S 57
Eight Cali players hit double figures in an efficiency clinic (53% FG, 40% 3PT). Duarte dropped 25/5 stl, Villar and Noce each grabbed 13 boards. FR-S looked to be keeping bodies fresh for Cup play—no starter topped 17 points, and 24 turnovers has “B-Team written all over it.
⸻
🩻 The Reductions 113 – The White Walkers 73 ❄️
The White Walkers posted a season-high 73 points. Will this trend continue?! Don’t call it a comeback just yet… Paz says he’s ready for the big times, dropping a ridiculous 34/30/6 blks/3 stl, but his coach thinks he’s getting ahead of himself.
⸻
📊 Stat Sheet Nuggets
• Top Scorer: Cobb (White Walkers) – 35 pts
• Top Rebounder: Paz (Reductions) – 30 reb
• Top Assists: Baratović (BC_Lit) – 15 ast
• MVP: Paz – 34/30/3/3 stl/6 blk (EFF 62)
• Triple-Doubles: Abrahamsohn (Wellington), Rivera (Wobbles)

🔮 What It Means
The Great 8 tightened—Kiwi now sits one game off Wasco with momentum, while Wellington lurks. In the Big 8, it’s a logjam at 6-4 from 2nd through 5th, with BC_Lit and Tasty fighting to stay in range. Next slate? More cross-division chaos—and a few teams with something to prove before the stretch run.
