Last

Last night we played our last game for the year. And we won again, so we are pretty happy. We played Saints development, but they were without 4 of their biggest players, so it would have been interesting to have seen who won if we were both at full-strength.

Player of the Week: Jarryd Kelly. Shot the lights out, but only when he was open. Whenever he took an uncontested 3, he nailed it, to finish with 7 from long range. Thats 21 extra points to us, if you didnt realise. He also contributed well in transition to get a few fast baskets.
honourable mentions: Brock Monck: His offensive game and on-ball screens were very classy. Sean McMulkin. Didnt spend much time on, but played well when he did, including a 3


Play of the Week: I'd have to call it a draw this week, between 1. Brock's massive drive and lay from the top of the key through 3 defenders - something we've never seen hi do before but all know he can, 2. Lachie's improvised ally-oop off an errant pass for 2 points. Slick.
Honouable mentions: Brock's block, any of Jarryd's threes.

Completely off the topic of basketball, we found out yesterday that Jeremy Armstrong died yesterday. He was hit by a taxi early sunday morning and was taken to Perth Royal hospital, and he was in a critical but stable condition, but things worsened, and his family had to turn off the life support.

For those who didnt know him, he was a pretty stand up sort of guy. He was my best friend all through priary school, and Kelly knows him pretty well from hockey too. So it's pretty bullshit that this gay stuff keeps happening to good people.

im out.
