Regulators tune up for finals with annihilation of Choc Thunder

Mattyo and Sam go off in biggest win of the season.

There was a massacre on the court Monday night...

The regular season finished with a bang for the Regulators Monday night - winning by 35 points (72-37).

Resting their two bigs (Mal & Big Ben), the core of the Regulators went into the game loose and energetic. This team seems fresh, confident and have the aura of a winner. Time will tell if they are legit, or just a steaming pile of feces not worthy of gobbling the sack of the Melbourne Basketball Association.

Digs and Mattyo got the party started with some quick moves to the hoop and with only four men, Choc Thunder soon realised they had no chance of ending their season on a high. The lead climbed at a steady pace and until the Thunder managed a few 3-balls to cut the lead to five.

Digs entered the game again and went on a scoring spree like it was downtown L.A. circa 1992. He was stealing, looting, dropping dimes and dropped a few jaws with an incredible up-and-under move near the end of the half. At halftime his boner was visible and a rest on the bench where he could "squeeze one out" was well deserved.

With the lead back up around 20 points, Mattyo continued to rack up points like a pinball machine and had the official scorer nervous looking for room to put all those buckets on the sheet. Something had to be done before the algebra needed to be applied.

Enter Mr Sam Fuggle.

Scoring two points in the first half, Sam decided to light it up in the second and produced his most dominant sequence of basketball the Regulators have ever seen. Offensive rebounds, put-backs, Kevin McHale post moves and coast to coast layups were all broken out. He couldn't be stopped.

So the Regulators have now made the playoffs twice in three seasons. To advance they have to beat Wasted who defeated them by one point back in round six (49-48). The Regulators are a different team now and have a new ace up their sleeves in Big Ben.

From what we know Wasted live and die with their big point guard. If the Regs can shut this AND1 Mixtape try hard down they will have a great shot at the grand final.

See you all there at 7pm this Monday, tickets are scarce...
