11th Game: vs Titans

Date: 28th September 2006

We this game turned out to be a lot like our previous encounter with this team several weeks ago. We had seven players for this game although Tim and Simbo were both late and missed about 5 minutes. Tim forgot his top so after a timeout at the 11 minute mark we all used bibs. Dave had to take the tip despite still recovering from his injury.
In the first half Dave and James both made two shots, and Simbo fluked a shot from outside the key. He got the ball and didn’t really think about the shot, just putting it up and off the back board. For much of the game I wasn’t happy with most of what was going. When I found out that we would have to wear bibs, it was just another frustration to add to the game.

At half time the score was 10 to 39. The second half was a little bit better, but not by very much, Dave scored three more baskets, James scored another field goal and 3 of 4 free throws, and Harbs made 1 of 2 free throws. The final score was 22 to 69 which was similar to our previous encounter. My own game was pretty crap with some of the time I just watched the opposition get the ball. I picked up two fouls, the first one I grabbed the guy to stop the fast break, while the second one was a blocking foul, as the guy drove in, and bumped me, then took another bounce before making the shot.. and the bloody ref decided to count the basket… it was like 2 seconds before the shot. Jerks. Simbo picked up 4 fouls with heaps of time remaining in the game, but managed to not foul out.
