Many non-competitive or partially competitive games tonight.

The most interesting result of the day is Rhino's Rage's not being able to protect the home court against some ill-intentioned musicians. The understatement of the day is that being down a 240k / week player is tough. But let me tell you... this game was U-G-L-Y. Each team made 24 buckets in 80+ shooting attempts, and the winners survived a 2-22 three point shooting night, making up the difference by taking a whopping 30 free throws and making 25 of them. To add insult to literal injury, the game was televised and many spectators called into BBTV to please ask for reruns of last season's playoffs.

The White Walkers punted, which was to be expected with a big injury and a difficult cup game ahead. But this also means that Visionaries has all but secured HCA and the next time we're gonna talk about them is when they next lose --- or if they fire Polk.

In the other two games that weren't total blowouts, the home teams --- Hipsterbears and Black Light --- hung on to beat the away teams. For Hipsterbears it was a much needed second win, although their path out of the last spot seems incredibly prohibitive. For us, it was a return to the winning column after three consecutive losses in three consecutive away
games.

Eight of the nine teams that were 3-4 last week are now 4-5. As noted on Tuesday, a single away win, like the one that Deronimo nabbed then, is a huge asset going forward. Right now it's the difference between third place and seventh place!

I missed this because I stopped following after I saw road double failed GDP! Pretty amazing performance though --- 24-32 with a "PG" just learning the ropes!
