The game contained some uptempo play, plenty of bombs from downtown, a Saints-like defensive stand and some of the best trash talking seen for quite a while - I'd pay $0.16 to watch a replay (streaming online of course).
The matchup was unique:
4 guards, 1 Centre
vs
2 guards and 3 centres.
Two of the three Regulator front line were out leaving Sam the task of taking on the Twin Towers of the Smegmen. vs
2 guards and 3 centres.
The Twin Towers of Houston (not Smegmen).Up front, guards Digs and Claude were creating some havoc with the Smegmen weakness - bouncing the ball! Ha ha, they had no handles.
Can't recall if it was tied at the half but was close.
The Smegmen caught fire and though they was All That and their stupid-assed no-handle-havin' old dude of a point guard (can't believe they let him run any point at all) started yappin' at Claude!
This writer couldn't believe his eyes! Not only was Claude breaking him down with his response but did he not know acclaimed trash talker Digs was on the court?
After gathering the info from Claude, he quickly confirmed that the old dude was Wack and launched a vintage tirade on the guy for the rest of the game. Basically Smegmen should be pissed off because it changed the game for the Regulators from "probable win" to "certain win".
Everyone got in on the act then and you saw all the best from the Regs including Mattyo's pullup J's and Torrance's inside-outside offense. Fun game, fun times.
Next week is another low-ladder team and a win is favourite on TAB. This journo is taking his work to war-torn North QLD again - so updates might be sketchy.
