Season 51 Featured Game No. 8...Philadelphia at San Jose...plus Golden team of Sacramento River Dogs


Philadelphia 80, San Jose 74

Phobia balance outlasts Amigos

SAN JOSE -- The balanced power of the visiting Philadelphia Phobia earned the 80-74 win in the battle of first-place teams in this excellent cross-over contest that put an end to the 7-game winning streak of the home team San Jose Fighting Amigos.

The win clinched a playoff spot for the Phobia and extended their win streak to 6 in a row.

PLAYER OF THE GAME 
34 GVP...San Jose's Hall of Fame guard JESSE SHERSHOT delivered a game-high 30-point performance that produced his league-leading third POG, but the clutch performance was not quite enough to overcome the relentless Philadelphia attack. Shershot's 30-point effort was his second 30-plus game of the season, and the league's leading scorer for the fourth consecutive season used a variety of shots from all four zones, including a slam dunk, to get to that total. The 6-5 fifth-year man was 12 for 21 from the floor, hitting on 3 of 12 from beyond the arc and 3 of 5 from the foul line. He also tied for team-high in rebounds with 4.

Other 20-plus GVP performers
29 GVP...Shershot's running mate at guard Cremeofsum Yunguy came up big for San Jose with a 21-point effort that included a game-high 3 steals, tying for game-high in assists with 3 and 2 rebounds.

25 GVP...Philadelphia's excellent rookie guard Vinny Zazeech used his 6-8 frame to pull down a game-high 7 rebounds. He contributed 17 points and 1 assist as well.

25 GVP...Philly center Taco Toosdae totally dominated Twinkles Spatula, scoring a team-high 18 points, grabbing 5 boards and handing out 2 assists.

20 GVP...Second-year Philly point guard Ehhy Table played a balanced game, tying for game-high in assists with 3, scoring 13 points and pulling down 4 boards.

Season 51 Featured Game...San Jose at Los Angeles...plus Golden Team for Gillette Humps

San Jose 76, Los Angeles 70

AMIGOS REMAIN UNBEATEN

LOS ANGELES -- The San Jose Fighting Amigos (now 7-0) became the first team to clinch a Season 51 playoff spot, as they completed the season sweep of the defending champion Los Angeles club (now 3-4) with a 76-70 victory.

The win, which also clinches the West Division title for San Jose, featured a first half of wild swings, with San Jose taking the first quarter 28-13 while L.A. responded with a 25-12 second quarter run.

The second half was nip and tuck until the fourth quarter when Hall of Fame guard Jesse Shershot of San Jose finally broke free of the defensive grip of Great Gruncle Terry to deliver 11 of his 13 points, including all 3 treys he buried in this game.

PLAYER OF THE GAME

28 GVP...Third-year star forward CRENTIS "THE" DENTIST of Los Angeles dominated his opponent, Lupalin Greenbeard, scoring a team-high 18 points on 8 of 11 shooting that included 2 for 2 at the foul stripe. Dentist filled the defensive role for his team as well, blocking a game-high 3 shots and getting a steal. He also grabbed 3 boards.


Other 20-plus GVP performers
27 GVP...Despite having multiple buckets removed by the defense of Great Gruncle Terry, San Jose Hall of Famer Jesse Shershot played magnificently, as the 6-5 shooting guard grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds, handed out a team-high (tied) 3 assists, registered 1 steal and scored 13 points, with 11 coming in the decisive fourth quarter, including all three of his bombs. 

24 GVP...With Terry shadowing Shershot, San Jose needed 15-year point guard Cremeofsum Yunguy to provide some points, and the veteran did just that, scoring 16, dishing a team-high (tied) 3 assists, pulling down 4 boards and getting 1 steal.

23 GVP...San Jose center Twinkles Spatula matched All-MBA center Quick Tink bucket for bucket, scoring 18 points, grabbing 4 boards and coming up with 1 steal.

22 GVP...Having the best scoring season of his solid career, Eddie "the Milkman" Creamer continued his points production in this big game, getting a game-high 19 points and dominating none other than Christ Almighty. Second in the league in scoring behind teammate Shershot, Creamer also pulled down 3 boards.

20 GVP...Having another All-MBA season at center, Los Angeles pivot Quick Tink scored 16 points, grabbed 3 boards and had 1 assist.

Season 51 Featured Game No. 6...Philadelphia at Oklahoma City...plus Golden 50 Team of Dallas Demons revealed

 


Philadelphia 73, Oklahoma City 70
PHOBIA OUTLASTS LATE LARIAT RUN
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Despite a near-miraculous 24-13 fourth-quarter comeback try, the Oklahoma City Lariats could not overcome a horrendous first half and bad free-throw shooting as they lost to first-place Philadelphia 73-70.

The win by Philly was their fourth in a row, giving the Phobia a 5-1 mark, while the Lariats drop to 3-3. 

PLAYER OF THE GAME
29 GVP...Fourth-year shooting guard HANDSY JOE POTATOE of Oklahoma City led the fourth-quarter charge that fell just short of victory. The 6-5 Potatoe scored a game-high 24 points on 6 of 10 shooting that included 4 of 6 bombs and 8 of 9 from the foul line. He also tied for team-high with 4 rebounds and added 1 assist.

Other 20-Plus GVP performers
27 GVP...Philly center Taco Toosdae dominated his counterpoint Carga Larga, scoring a team-high 21 points and grabbing a game-high 6 rebounds. The 6-11 pivot is now second in the MBA in scoring with a 17.8 ppg average.

26 GVP...Rookie forward Buba Lipa of Oklahoma City dominated longtime star Wawa Wewa in this game, scoring 16 points, tying for team-high in rebounds with 4, swiping a game-high 2 steals, blocking 2 shots and doling out 2 assists. 

24 GVP...Rookie shooting guard Vinny Zazeech of Philadelphia continued his All-Star-like play with 16 points, 3 rebounds, a steal and a game-high (tied) 4 assists. 

23 GVP...The only mid-season All Star on Oklahoma City, third-year power forward Toilety T. Paper contributed 16 points, 3 assists and tied for team high with 4 boards. 

MBA Standings … Season 51

EAST DIVISION

PHILADELPHIA…..5-1 (4 division wins)

CHARLESTON…… 3-2 (3 division wins)

MILWAUKEE……….3-2 (1 division win)

OKLAHOMA CITY..3-3 (2 division wins)

DALLAS……………….1-4 (1 division win)

 

WEST DIVISION

SAN JOSE………….5-0 (5 division wins)

LOS ANGELES….. 3-3 (2 division wins)

GILLETTE…………..2-4 (2 division wins)

SEATTLE……………2-4 (2 division wins)

NEXT UP: Charleston at Milwaukee in a pivotal game for both teams. A Greyhounds win would mean they replace the Mountaineers in the second-place playoff spot. Charleston has had a bitch of a time with Milwaukee these last few seasons and they are playing the remainder of their schedule without their starting point guard.
