Blackout: Powerhouse fusebox busted by Regulators

The Regulators made it three wins in a row and four of their last five with a 3 point win Monday night.

This wasn't the first thing to pop up when 'blackout' was Googled...

Apparently Britney has an album of the same name.

I like the blonde one better

In a controversial and often spiteful encounter - where allegations of cheating forced the Regulators to have a man on the bench and play 4 on 5 - the Regulators continued their scintillating form and held on in the dying seconds for the win.

Missing big man Reuben and the solid play of Matt Owens, the now confident Regulators still felt they were the team to beat.

Recently injured Sam looks back to 100% and dominated the paint, wearing out Powerhouse's big men who basically did nothing all game long.

Matt Leonard didn't have the eye-popping game we've been seeing in recent weeks, but still managed a solid effort. His board work once again conjuring thoughts of Dennis Rodman at his best.

So with the Powerhouse bigs being asked to deal with way too much, how did the game become so close I hear you ask? (terrible comment, I know - someone pass me a drink or shoot me...I feel numb...)

It was a combination of two decent guards and good use of bench rest. And that's where the game was won. They might have had the better, more skilled players, but this is the fucking Regulator defense we're talking about! Read last weeks column if you need to.

I'm talking Roopa hassling their PG before he crosses half court. He was damn near molesting the poor sucka. And this was from start to finish, with no bench! The man is a walking Energizer battery advertisement. You know with him being the one with the Energizer battery in his back and the opposition has the Home Brand shit? No? Well fuck you - I can see it!

This hustle inspired Digs and Ben to work hard too. Flat from the late game time and possibly hung over. A close game like this requires a full effort and these two delivered, particularly in the end of the game when rebounds and scores were crucial.

In the last five minutes when Powerhouse took the lead and had an extra man out there you'd be forgiven for thinking 'game over, nice try Regulators'. And if you did think that, you're a filthy slut. Ben and Digs delivered the winning touches through offensive rebounds and clutch scoring. They had about five offensive boards each at the end, tapping back missed shots until the sucka went in. Back on defense they grabbed rebounds over bigger guys who were exhausted. It was like they said, 'thanks guys for getting us here, we'll knock them off now.'

One last game left in this season - 10pm next Monday. Against the hated rival Dictators.

Bring.that.shit.on.

Regulators Union smash Captains of Industry

Regulators enjoying the hard fought ass-kicking

The Regulators fielded a full squad for the first time all season and played their best game of the year, winning 28 - 15.

Down 9 - 13 after a tough first half, the Regulators gave an almost perfect defensive effort in holding their opponent to two second-half points.

I'll write that again and let it sink in people...

Down 9 - 13 after a tough first half, the Regulators gave an almost perfect defensive effort in holding their opponent to two second-half points.

Now I'll put the main passage in bold and quotes...

'holding their opponent to two second-half points'.

Now I'll put the important words in italics....

Down 9 - 13 after a tough first half, the Regulators gave an almost perfect defensive effort in holding their opponent to two second-half points.

Check the scoreboard - more fouls than points in the second half!

Have you got it yet? No? Well this is what the number two looks like:

2

and that's how many points you get for a made field goal (inside the 3 point line.)


Thusly, biatches, the so-called 'Captains of Industry' scored one-fricking-field goal in twenty mo' fo'ing minutes. Or it might have been two free throws - can't remember.

Alright, I think that's enough on that subject. Except to say that there were numerous steals, blocks, defensive and offensive rebounds in the Regs favour on the night. The Regulators were possessed by a demon-creature from the pits of hell and that demon-creature was created for the sole purpose of stopping opponents from scoring. Yep, I'm pretty sure that's what it was.

PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!

That towel got a workout.

Ben showing that perfect form we expect.

The secret is in the warm ups.

Man. Am I ever shit on the camera.
Nah I'm really sorry for the shitty shots.
Must improve.

Other notes:
• The media guide listed Ben and Sam as not playing (injured) but both played and contributed.
• Matt Leonard following up his career-high scoring night two games ago by producing what was surely a career-high rebounding game, (the man is on fire!)
• Digs drawing oohhs and ahhs with some nice handles to get to the rim, then missing at point blank range.
• A halftime shouting-match between teammates Roopa and Roobs that seemed to inspire everyone to come together and produce that brilliant second half.
• Mattyo working a one-man triangle offense in the high post and racking up the assists. He is the Zen-Master.

What will happen next? The Regs are firing on all cylinders, they've won 3 of their last 4, the full squad looks fitter than ever, an identity on the court is emerging before our eyes and next season's rego has been lodged.

This is dizzy stuff folks!

Yes photos of the game and the usual hotties photo rewards will be up later you pervs.

Regs rout Shadows

Shadows: we'll never be that crap

It wasn't even close. The Regs brought the pain and the Shadows dissappeared.

Okay so I can't change font style (huh?). Lets just move on.

The Regs got their second win in three games and erased almost all memories of the shit-fest that was the start to the season.

In an absolute flogging of the Shadows, every Regulator played flat out and contributed in almost all stat categories.

There was much anticipation for this encounter with one excited commentor asking 'When do you play The Shaows?' - now we know why - they wanted to see a blood-bath.

And bathe in blood they did, even without Ben Torrance (season ending injury) and Sam Fuggle (1 week - ankle) and with the bitter taste of Dave's signing for a different team, the Regs played like fucking legends.

The reward this week for a kick-ass effort - more hottie pics.

So tally-ho you little bitches, and bring forth a slurry of smut-laden comments...
