NCBL - Finals Review.

Pictures are worth thousand words.But in tat picture,it was worth more than juz words,it's indescribable.Word Up folks?NCBL 2010 season is over.And the results are up.Now we noe who got da gold,who got da promotion to 1st Division,who got relegated,and most of all,who got da 1 year Bragging Rights.

DIVISION 2 3rd PLACING (HURRICANES VS PHANTOMS (B))

Sorry ya'll,got no intel on tis one.I came late for da game.So all I noe is tat Hurricanes won by 5 points against da veteran team of Phantoms (B).It looks like there wun't be any "Clash of da Brotherhood" match up next season in da 1st Division.I mean,who wouldn't want to watch da Phantoms (A) vs Phantoms (B) match,rite?Anyways,horay Hurricanes.*wit da lame and not exciting tone*

DIVISION 1 3rd PLACING (J3 (A) VS PHOENIX)

Results tell ya' da truth.Surprisingly,it was da much underdog team of J3 (A) tat won da bronze,including da 3rd place of cuz,against da Flaming Birds who got such huge line-ups like Yasier,Gun-D and Fendy.But,it was more like a 7 on 7 game as both team had their roster,well,not filled up.

I can only conclude da match as sometime in tat match,I was doing sumthing else.But da match was pretty exciting better than da Hurricanes vs Phantoms (B) match I hope as both teams were chasing each other.And,not forgetting to mention tat both teams,promoted from da 2nd Division last season,and proved to da rest of da teams in NCBL tat they mean business.

I was only able to see da final moment where J3 (A) got da final free throw at da final seconds,and with a 61-60 lead,Phoenix made a horrible turnover and there goes da clock.Bronze,goes to J3 (A) indeed.

DIVISION 2 FINALS (SNIPERS VS SWOOSH 2)

Lock n' load,pick a target,aim,& SNIPE!!! Even da flying Second Supermen couldn't runaway or flyaway from da perfect aiming by da Sniperians.They beat Swoosh 2 by 65-50,but it wasn't easy tat's for sure.

As was predicted,Swoosh 2 give da Shoot-To-Kill team one heck of a fight.Even though differ by age,but they're always young at heart.With da gigantic sizes tat Swoosh 2 has,Snipers created their usual "Run Til' They Drop" play to outlasted Swoosh 2's stamina to zero.

During da 1st quarter as usual,Snipers will do watever it takes to take da lead.Firing all their 3 ammos at once.But Swoosh 2 didn't ease down as well.They manage to pull back loads of points during da 2nd quarter,bit by bit tanx to again,Mislan's penetration though some of it was an incomplete cut ins and Aaron's "Ain't gonna give up" shots.At one point,Swoosh 2 took da lead by 5 points.But again,Snipers is a shooting team,and they took da lead back with a back to back 3s tanx to their team captain KoBron.

Coming in da 2nd half,Swoosh 2 manage to generate wat's left in their tank,especially Old Man Farid who looks half-dead due to his lil' hustle plays in da 1st half.Although Swoosh 2 tried to use their King Kong Bundy for those who dun watch WWE,King Kong Bundy is a huge guy with incredible strength Amarjit,but tanx to a "No Way Ho-Ze" tight D by Cheesy Bear and Zic Efron which they subsequently D up during da match,Amarjit looks immovable at all.

Overall performance by both teams were extra huge.Aaron's offensively shots,Mislan's unstoppable defense and heck,Mr.Downtown still got wat it takes to give da youngsters an In Your Faces,haha.

Snipers' Mr.Muscle shot badly on da free throw line with only 1/8 shots made,but bring da stats back up by adding loads of "Come Foul Me" lay-ups.Nazim a.k.a The Other Guard as named by Old Playa',but we recognized him as Bo now took control of da tempo prefectly,even nearly made da Mitsui-type shot.Confuse?Watch Slamdunk on da last episode then.

By all means,both team were great,but only one deserves to sit on da 2nd Division's throne,and tat would be da Sniperians after all.

DIVISION 1 FINALS (PHANTOMS (A) VS SWOOSH 1)

Sumday,The Great Wall of China will fall down too u noe.Nuthin's gonna stay da way it is.Noe why?Cuz Swoosh's unbeaten streak and their legacy finally falls down to da unexpected win by Phantoms (A).Weird isn't it?I mean,they always got beaten during da regular season,in other tournaments and usually in da semis too,but da Finals?Who would have guess?

Anyways,da game was tight indeed.Points by points were poured down by each side.Phantoms (A) new line-ups surely bring them da gold for da first time,rite?Maybe.Anyways,it was a no one man show this time.It's a battle of both sides,as were seen tat Amirul got stuck to Ramesh,Zun da Angle goes wild shooting,Hilmi da Tiny Hulk played well on his position,juz a lil' unlucky I guez.

Wat was really seen tat of Amin Dragon,Adam da Roach,Sassi da Don and Sunel's incredible play tat put da deserving champs rite where they belong.Swoosh look a lil' lost sumwhere in da 3rd quarter as it was so obvious tat their Forward,Cicak if i'm not mistaken couldn't manage to slot in an easy under basket shots.They even lose in terms of defensive and offensive boards.I mean,look at them.They're huge,humongous,rock solid figures compared to Phantoms who were tiny,no shape and much smaller opponents da Don is an exception though.

Overall,after seeing da game,it came up to my mind tat maybe for once,Phantoms do deserve to be champions this season after all da hard fought battle since da beginning.Anyways,congratz to all da Phenoms for being da Division 1 Champs.

So folks,here's da round ups:

DIVISION 1 CHAMPION (PHANTOMS (A))

RUNNER UP (SWOOSH 1)

3rd PLACE (J-THREE (A))

DIVISION 2 CHAMPIONS (SNIPERS)

RUNNER UP (SWOOSH 2)

3rd PLACE (HURRICANES)

RELEGATED TO 2nd DIVISION NEXT SEASON:

ATM,FLAMES AND SCOREKEYS

PROMOTED TO 1st DIVISION NEXT SEASON:

SNIPERS,SWOOSH 2 AND HURRICANES

So,da season's over for me,and this will be my final review of NCBL's 2010 Season.Til' then,Stay AWE~SO~ME NC Fans!!!


SNIPERS 2010 2nd Division CHAMPIONS

NCBL - The Finals.

Indeed it is,da final week of this season's National Community Basketball League,or known as NCBL.Word Up Flavours?We're here,in da Finals,and da 3rd placing too for both divisions.And if ya'll didn't read da post regarding who won and who loss during da semis,well here's da Finals for ya'.

DIVISION 2's 3rd PLACING (HURRICANES VS PHANTOMS (B))

I'm being honest here,I hate Hurricanes.But neither way,I dun quite like Phantoms as well.Not da players though,it's just da team itself.So either way,I dun give a heck of ideas on who wins or lose in this match.But clearly I hate Hurricanes more cuz of their ego on da weaker team.I'd rather see Bullets in da 3rd placing match up wit Phantoms (B) rather than seeing these "arroganic" Hurricanas playing.

DIVISION 1's 3rd PLACING (J3 (A) VS PHOENIX)

I'm not sure myself whether they have met each other before or not in da past during their time in da 2nd Division but one thing I noe is tat Phoenix is a much better team.They have all da players they need,they can shoot,they have a much "gedang" players too.But dun forget tat J3 (A) is a shooting team.Which means,they are more dangerous if they can complete their transition game.My vote,Phoenix would be in 3rd place.

DIVISION 2's FINALS (SNIPERS VS SWOOSH 2)

Another slight margin win prediction?I dunno,tat was sumone else's game preview,not mine.Mine will be a more straight forward base preview for sure.But I noe tat both Snipers and Swoosh 2 will give all out for da Finals.

Let us see now,Snipers,with 10 men remaining through out da season,every player has their role,and they have proper and well prepared training session tat put them in da Finals' spot.Lock n' Load as they say.Whereas Swoosh 2 has their King Kong Bundy,Aaron,Old Man Farid,Mr.Downtown,Edmund and Mislan to put themselves on da throne.

Whoever wins this Finals will clearly send a message to da 1st Division teams,tat they are ready for da next level.

DIVISION 1's FINALS (PHANTOMS (A) VS SWOOSH 1)

It's da first time for da Phantoms I guez and well,not really a first time for da Mighty Supermen.We've seen it before,and most encounter made by these two veteran teams will create da same outcome,which is,a victory to Swoosh 1.Correct me if i'm wrong,but it's hard to see Phantoms to grab da win away this time due to Swoosh's enormous line-ups.My vote,Swoosh 1 wit a huge margin.

NC fans,we're at da final week,and da Finals of da Finals too.After tis,there wun't be any other games as exciting as da NCBL for sure.Which is,ya'll gotta wait for months til' KLNC starts banging on da doors to come up wit a new excitement.In da mean time,dun forget to come and watch all da final matches ayte.Til' then,Stay AWE~SO~ME!!!

NCBL Semi-Finals Review.

War was unleashed as da semi-final games for both division started last week.Word Up fans?We're getting closer to da final week,and as da semis were up to it and done for it,here's wat I got for ya'.

DIVISION 2 (HURRICANES VS SWOOSH 2)

It was indeed a very tight game as Swoosh 2 manage to pull out da win against da was undefeated and bragging boys Hurricanes by 62-60.Let's recap shall we?Both were in da same group during da grouping stage which is group C,but ended up Hurricanes beat da crap out of Swoosh 2 by some say,quite a large margin it is.

And as da saying goes,revenge is sweet,indeed.Swoosh 2 prepared themselves better than ever to face da young boys in da semis.And it pays off.But as like da previous meeting,da 1st half did belong to Hurricanes as they control most of da game.

Mostly noticeable when Hurricanes manage to score their points by grabbing da boards,and converting their 2nd chance points.But Swoosh 2 didn't back down without a fight as Mislan penetrates and did his job quite ok with a simple,basic and completed passes to their perimeter shooters.

It would have been a point chasing game earlier if only that Aaron and Edmund both hit their jumpers perfectly,but both were turned off tat day.A lil' disappointment to da rest of da NC Ballers as they watched da game eagerly and hoping tat Hurricanes will loose.As da 3rd begin,it started to pay off as Swoosh 2 slowly chasing their points tanx to da weak-and-sux defense made by Hurricanes.Mislan dribbles all over them as if like he was playing wit a 6 year olds bunch of rookies.

As da final quarter started,Swoosh 2 fires up their leftover tanks to power through Hurricanes.As were mention,Hurricanes really,and I meant really sucking at defense.So it made Mislan's duty even easier,and finally Edmund manages to pull up some shots,with da big and I MEAN BIG help from Swoosh 2's very own Amarjit a.k.a King Kong Bundy,and wit few fouls,they tied up at 60 a piece.

Da most memorable part is where Old Man Farid made a tremendous Off Da Board Block during da 3rd,or was it da final quarter.Anyways,it was huge that made da crowd go "oohs" and "aahs",pretty loud.Tat was da main course,and da dessert?Nuthin' sweeter than Mislan's final jumper to make it 62-60 and gave away da W to da much experience team of Swoosh 2.

DIVISION 2 (SNIPERS VS PHANTOMS (B))

Some said tat Snipers might win a slight margin.I dunno if da term slight margin means by more than 20 points or so.Yerp,Snipers made their very own team history,bringing themselves up to da automatic spot for a taste of 1st Division next season by beating Phantoms (B) wit more than 20 points,sumwhere around 74-50 or so.

Snipers took control of all quarters since da beginning,but at a certain moment,they look a lil' loss when they nearly gave away their large lead by not making any shots but loads of turnovers indeed.But no matter,as they had prepare themselves way more than any other teams for da playoffs round.

Phantoms (B)'s tactics of playing a mano-e'-mano defense was terrible as they were outmatched by da stronger and better in sizes and not to mention,younger team.But tat wasn't suppose to be an excuse rite?I mean,it's basketball after all.

It's easy to point out for concluding da game.Snipers were better,energetic,younger,they hit more threes than da veteran team,they got better number in rebounds and most noticeable was tat Mr.Muscle's block shots were nearly equal as Tight's who they call them a "swimmer" for certain issue average block per game.As if.Anyways,Snipers are going to da Finals at last.

DIVISION 2 (PHOENIX VS PHANTOMS (A))

It was suppose to be like a Finals showdown between Phoenix and Swoosh 1,but dreams can be shattered in a flick of a finger.Yes,Phoenix were beaten by Phantoms (A) in da semi-finals,not much,around 8 points,but still,a loss is always a loss.

Phantoms (A) were pushed for da win tanx to several threes like 5-6 threes made by Adam "Roach" and weird shots converted by one of da Phantoms' twins,"Angle" Zun.No matter wat Phoenix did to prevent them,still,as soon as da ball has been release by these two crazy shooters,da ball will pass through da hoop's net for sure.

Swoosh's-loan-to-Phoenix player,Yasier doesn't look alive during da semis.He made several inside-da-arc jumpers but failed to make it.Even Gun-D got 3 airballs on his stats.Somehow,da margin wasn't a huge one tanx to Phoenix's main point guard,Fendi for da shots he made count.

He made several cut ins,a few threes,free throws and fastbreak plays,but pity for his effort,it wasn't enough to lead da team to da Finals after all.But it was a clear message tat Phoenix isn't a team to look down to,and not only Yasier is their man,Fendi can be da real deal if da team needs a player up for da task.

DIVISION 2 (J3 (A) VS SWOOSH 1)

Most of NC Ballers were hoping tat a team could break da undefeated NCBL reign of Swoosh 1.And it all lies down to J3's hand to make it happen.But as were expected to be,they too falls as a victim to Swoosh 1's win-loss list of teams included.

I can say tat da match was pretty exciting during da 1st quarter til' da 3rd quarter as they were playing cat and mice chasing games.At a moment,J3 took da lead by 2 points,but as da 1st quarter ended,Swoosh looks prepare and ready to boost up da momentum of da game.And as da 2nd begin,Swoosh took da game to da next level by taking over da lead.

But da lead wasn't tat far as J3,a team known well for their perimeter jumpers did made lots of three point shots to ensure da margin isn't tat far to chase.As Swoosh pull up da lead to 6 or 8 points,J3 will chase back and make it into a 4 point game,not more than tat until da 3rd quarter ends.

But as da 4th begin,well,ya'll know and can conclude it yourselves.Swoosh make it look easy by demolishing J3 til' their faces said so.But kudos to da Bangi Boyz as they put up a gud fight and never quits even though their opponent were a much bigger team than they are.

So NC fans,ya'll can make up da list already on who will be facing who on da final week rite?So,let's waste no time and let's see who's in da Finals ayte.Til' then,Stay AWE~SO~ME!!!

NCBL's Semi-Finals Preview.

Ladies & gents,Flava's back!! Word Up folks?Now,we're getting closer towards da end of this season's NCBL.And da final four for each division remains,Division 1 (J3 (A),Phantoms (A),Swoosh 1 and Phoenix) and Division 2 (Swoosh 2,Hurricanes,Phantoms (B) and Snipers).So,let's get it on!!

DIVISION 2 (PHANTOMS (B) VS SNIPERS)

As ya'll noe it,only da top 3 will advance to next season's 1st division.So,it's da battle of da fittest.Another veteran vs youngster match up.Like last week,everyone expects tat Snipers will bow to WeMotor.com's feet,but da thing is,da bullet made it's U-turn.

So some people thought da Shoot-To-Kill team won by a fluke.Yerp,this week,everyone expects tat Phantoms (B) is going to win.Again,totally being an underdog da Sniperians are,it's gonna be a heck of a match for sure.Cuz for sure,both teams have an almost exact playbook up in their sleeves.

DIVISION 2 (SWOOSH 2 VS HURRICANES)

Another veteranians against up and going youngsters.One thing is for sure,can Hurricanes ever stop da powering Swoosh 2?Everyone noes tat rite now,both Aaron and Mislan made a gud guard-to-shooter combination.While Old Man Farid is still at his best at wat he does,penetrating da hoop.

Whereas for da Hurricanas,as wat I saw from last week's match against Quakes,btw,sori for da wrong statement upon da final score,Quakes only lost by 7 points they're sure need more than juz jumping around,doin' fancy moves and circus shots.Against Quakes,they had da advantage of chemistry among them.But against da more expert team like Swoosh 2,well,I hope they will be blown away for gud,go Swoosh 2!!!

DIVISION 1 (PHANTOMS (A) VS PHOENIX)

Da ultimate question for any Phantoms' fans out there,"with or without Edika?"Well,technically,Phantoms (A) look more superbly on offense tanx to their main man,Izran Edika who is now on da KL Dragons' roster,with a lil' help from this season's addition youngsters like Adam Roach,Ma'e and Man Rebound.But as heard,Edika is a lil' busy with da KL Dragons' trainings and such.

And now tat they are facing da Flaming Birds,da top gun Phoenix,I wonder if Phantoms (A) can catch up wit them?A more properly conducted team,well organized and well,not too bad in offense mode,Phoenix is much a tougher team in da 1st Division believe me,they beat Pegasus and J3 (A),and Phantoms (A) too if i'm not mistaken comes next after Swoosh 1 of course.

Anyways,Phoenix has Yasier da Caru King not so caru anymore to settle da jumpers when they need it.So,how Phantoms (A) is gonna to retaliate,u gotta observe urself.

DIVISION 1 (J3 (A) VS SWOOSH 1)

Clearly,da mighty Swoosh 1 is da favourite.But for real,this is NCBL,Where Drama Happens.Take da match between Swoosh 2 against UBSA,where da Shah Alam Ballerz loss tat match by 5 points as an example.It's an unexpected moment for all who voted UBSA as da top contender for da 2nd Division Title.

In their previous meeting,da Supermen did outlast da Bangi Boys for gud.But another repeat in this semi-final could prove tat anything,can happen,for sure.

So folks,we're here,at da end of da previews.Not much though,but it's gonna be excited as most of us NC fans were waiting for this Final Four week to come.Honestly my vote,it looks like its gonna be another Phoenix-Swoosh 1 final showdown for da Division 1 Title.Til' then,stay AWESOME!!!

NCBL 2nd Division's Quarter-Final Review.

Word Up Flavours?Before I start making my opinions matter,let's recap a lil' shall we?First,all teams from group B were dominating da 2nd round,Quakes and Arions respectively won their game by beating Nirwana Shocks and Titans.Secondly,UBSA was da favourite and no.1 pick to win da 2nd Divsion title this season.And thirdly,some were expecting that group B representatives are goin' to advance to da semis.

Well,for what's it worth,it could be a fairytale ending for all da group B representatives.But games are not won by writing down notes.It is a lot easier said than done.So,wat's da catch?Let's hit it.

THE BIGGEST UPSET (UBSA VS SWOOSH 2)

Well,as most of ya'll had known,UBSA lost.Not a big margin though,it was a 56-51 game loss for da Shah Alam Ballerz in their match against Swoosh 2.Da game was mostly dominated by Swoosh 2.From da start,til' da very end of da buzzer,UBSA look a lil' loss.

UBSA has a slight disadvantage as their monster,Ayie,was out wit another injury.Technically,da same injury tat he had last year,which is da knee.So,UBSA battle hard enough under da hoop by using Mr.X to da fullest.Unfortunately for them,Swoosh 2 is a team full of veterans,technically speaking ayte.

Swoosh's defence was well coordinated tat they made it look like UBSA couldn't even get da easy 2 point jump shots.Whereas for Swoosh 2's offence,it was so much easier for them.As both Aaron and Mislan showed UBSA how's it done.Aaron stunningly made almost 5-6 3 pointers,a few jumpers within da arc and very well made free throws.As guessed,he would be da Player Of The Game for sure.

UBSA somehow battled with all their might,playing their half-court defence,but it wasn't enough to stop Mislan from penetrating towards da hoop.Or even dished out for their bigs like Amarjit,or Old Man Farid.

Well,da game goes on juz like how it was described in da above lines,and from a 13 points lead tat Swoosh 2 had,UBSA manage to cut down to 5 points,but ended up loosing.A heart breaker,a slap in da face and it was all not enough even though UBSA had all players tat is suitable for da team itself.

So,1 down for group B representatives,3 more to go.With Swoosh 2,a group C representative,advanced to da semis.

THE SECOND CRUMBLE (QUAKES VS HURRICANES)

Da Great Walls of Group B's dominance falls apart more and more as another group B's representative falls down to both knees as Quakes were beaten badly by da Hurricanes.I dunno,da margin was like,a near 30 points I guess.

To see it physically,Hurricanes was all bones and flesh,I mean,literally.Even their big guys were all skin and bones.Compared to Quakes,they had more flesh,bulk and built shapes.But it was all about chemistry and making shots.Da game wasn't about speed and strength.

Hurricanes' lightweight made them cruised past Quakes easy as they grabbed more rebounds and made more second chance points.Their defence wasn't tat gud as Quakes manage to play da cat-and-mouse-chasing game in a moment.

At a point,where they were neck-to-neck,chasing a single point every time.But Hurricanes showed them tat they were better.Even Quakes' Munex da Mean Machine couldn't do anything about it.Couldn't quite see da final score,but I noe it was bad though.

"No matter how da wind howls,da mountain would not bow to it."Well,clearly Hurricanes made tat statement wrong for gud.Another group B elite falls,2 down,2 more to go.

AND THE COOKIE KEEPS ON CRUMBLING (ARIONS VS PHANTOMS (B))

Da young against da old more experience match.To be honest,da game was only excited to be observe during da first quarter as Arions and Phantoms (B) fought hard against each other as da first quarter ended up at 8 points each or was it da Quakes vs Hurricanes match?.

But coming up da second quarter,and until da fourth,it was all dull,and all expected as Phantoms (B) pummeling through Arions to book their spot in da semis.Even with da 3 Rainers,T-He and Raimi in da team,they could not stop da veteranians for gud.

And tat's how da cookie crumbles,3 down,and juz 1 more left as a group B representative anxiously waiting for da next match to commence.

SNIPING DOWN THE ENGINES (SNIPERS VS WEMOTOR.COM)

Load up your ammos,pick your target right,aim,& SNIPE!!! Finally,out of da 4 representatives in group B,1 manage to pull out a win.And it wasn't an easy win too.

Facing their hard task this week,Snipers are up against WeMotor.com,where MRN,da Tsunami,Fuad Prince and Syed Bontot as what others recall him,i'm juz rephrasing is their top players.As for da Sniperians,they are sticking wit their remaining 10 players,wit some injured,but still effective.

Lemme juz conclude da whole game ayte,da game was a close game.WeMotor.com was chasing points as da Shoot-To-Kill team took da lead by ending da first quarter 13-11.Gaining da momentum,Snipers took da whole game by leading every quarter and ended up winning by almost 13 points.Something impossible?Not really.

Snipers were prepared a month before da game.Even in da puasa month,they took their training session at nite hours,and eventually brushing up everything they could.And it was all proven worthy.Their defence was superb as WeMotor.com couldn't finish their shots,and Snipers' offence was better than before.Well coordinated,and with more playbooks too.

There's only one major problem.Snipers let their opponents get an easy second chance points as they couldn't grab more rebounds than WeMotor.com.But still,as a team named by an elite group of rifle men,they manage to pour down more threes than usual which is an exciting moment to watch.

Anyways,da final match of da day ended up Snipers,da only team in group B,advanced to da semis.Making their own team history,after years of participating in NC games,and finally,heading towards da 2nd Division's Finals.

So NC fans,da quarters are all settle and done.Now both divisions,one and two are in da semi-finals mode.So,we're gonna have more excitement than before,so get yerself something to chew and drink,as da semis will start this coming weekend.Til' then,stay AWE~SO~ME!!!

NCBL 2nd Division's Quarter Final Preview.

Word Up peepz? Flava's back for the preview of this week's NCBL,2nd Div Quarter finals.For a month,all players were at rest,feeding themselves wit Raya food,& as guessed,fattening up all da flab on da tummylesser trainings.So,wit 4 matches available this week,let us get on to it.

UBSA VS SWOOSH 2

UBSA,line-ups are full wit Goliaths.Grizzly Bear,Alip,Mr.X,PowGasol,Sha-Monstar,Circusalso known as Badut and Kei.Not to mention their rebuilt-guards consist of Epyn,Panda,Muaz and Botak.Wit additional players and their mastermind unpredictable man,AfiqPG,no wonder they are da contender to climb back to da 1st division.

Standing in their way is 1 half of da Swoosh family,Swoosh 2.Wit Mislan and Edmund to be their ball handler,blind passes will surely be made perfectly if their top duo Giant Armajit and Farid Old Man maintain da way how they played during da beatdown of da Benchwarmers.Besides,they still have Mr.Downtown,if he is still playing with them.

Da match should be interesting as pace & speed is more towards da Shah Alam Ballerz indeed,as they are much a younger team than da more experience Supermen.My vote,will be on UBSA.

QUAKES VS HURRICANES

Quakes battered down da rookie team,Nirwana Shocks during their 2nd round match about a month ago.Though da Shocks gain height advantage,but it was truly experience says it all.Fierce play by Munex lead da team to da quarter finals indeed and set up a meeting wit da well-said unbeatable Hurricanes.

Hurricanes was unbeaten during da group stage.Beating da favourite team in Group C,WeMotor.com,easily to gain and stay at da top.Now,they have to face Quakes from group B,quite a threat to other teams as well.If Quakes is able to finish Hurricanes off,it'll be quite a dramatic ending for da Hurricaranas.

PHANTOMS (B) VS ARIONS

Da veteran team,against a much younger team.It's all about which team controls da pace and ball movement.As seen by others,Phantoms' dynamic duo is getting better and better.Yup,just like Batman & Robin or Roadrunner and Coyote,or even Tom & Jerry,they manage to pull off huge wins to ensure their quarter finals appearance during da group stage.

As for Arions,they did struggle a little to make their first well,it is mostly first appearances appearance in da league's quarter final showdown.But unfortunately,Arions' lack of size,leadership and tactical plays.My vote,I think tat it'll be an easy win for Phantoms (B).

WEMOTOR.COM VS SNIPERS

Da 3 Amigos from WeMotor.com,and da Shoot-To-Kill Sniperians from Snipers.I'd say,it's a much balance game.WeMotor.com's finishing touches are prepared by their pin-point-passer,mostly done by MRN.Coming next would be by Izzat Tsunami,and mostly da rest will be done by Fuad "Tayshaun" Prince.

On Snipers' part,it looks like they will be playing all da way wit only 10 players on their roster.Injuries led them to deducting da rest out of this season's game.But still,they are always full of surprises.Wit still on going hustle plays by Mr.Hustla,big high post shots from Mr.Muscle and wicked moves created by team captain,KoBron,it's gonna be fun to watch indeed.

So Flava' fans,it's da end of da previews.Dun wori,after this week is done,there'll be more to come and to watch as da 1st division's semi final will be on da run,& so does da 2nd division's.So,pick ur team,predict ur scores,load yourselves wit food and they'll sure be bringing ya'll more entertainment.Til' then,stay AWE~SO~ME!!!

Finally,NCBL's 2nd Round Review Is Revealed.

Word Up Flava's truly?Yerp,Flava's NCBL review is back on track.Been missing a while,got sumthings to do,so let's just get it on wit it ayte.Da 2nd round gives us 4 matches tat is a must-watch in order for da quarter-finalists to advance through if they wish to do so to da Finals.So,here are da game reviews of da 4 matches available.

SWOOSH 2 VS BENCHWARMERS / BW

It's da young,against da veteran team well,most of them,da most experience and da 2-years-amateurs,da strength and da speed,da Younger Supermen against da Bws.

It's da repeat of wat most of us had witnessed from last season where da two teams had already met wit each other.& last season,they were neck to neck til' da very last second.But ended up,Swoosh 2 took da win by 9 points ahead of da younger counterparts.

Impressively,BW matures a lot this season,better basketball,better stamina,better plays,& most of all,better defence.Under da supervision of Phantoms' very own Imran Bakri or well known as da Jumper,BW looks to punish Swoosh 2 very much this round.But at da start of da match,they were trailing da old-timers by 11-2.Da 1st quarter dun look gud for them though.But tat truly didn't stop them at all.

Da start of 2nd quarter,BW jumps back into da game.Wit more furiousness,pace and speed,tat forces Swoosh 2 to do several turnovers too.Unbelievable ain't it?They manage to chase points and closing down within 6 points.But Swoosh's very own Farid whom they called Orang Tua or Old Man,and BW's ex-Center during KLNC,were at his top performance,giving his best moves by spinning,do fake shots and block shots too.

Da much interesting part was during da 3rd,where BW pull da points within 2,by using their secret defence,da Full Court Press.And they did it.They manage to force Swoosh 2 to make terrible passes,they even attempt several steals by Mislan himself.But da gap didn't last long as yet again,Old Man Farid put their patience to their test,and BW made silly fumbles and by da end of da 3rd,da gap was back at 10 points.

BW didn't back down however as they manage to cover up their silly mistakes during da fourth,but due to Old Man's tremendous double-double figures as wat Mr.Rpk mentioned from his blog from da previous three quarters,BW couldn't manage to keep up da trail,and loosing again to Swoosh 2 by 7 points this season.And as da buzzer sounds,da end is there in da 2nd round for da BWs.

ARIONS VS TITANS

Well,to be honest,it's just a matter of which team from which group is better.Arions,representing group B,and da Titans,representing group C.Easy saying is tat,Titans didn't play well witout their savior Ayie not da big bear Ayie and ended up loosing to Arions.

Arions played better than da Titans as da Titans played like every ball possession they had is down to da last 5 seconds.Get da point?No?Alrite2,they played fast-break pace all da time.Whereas Arions played more rotation and more 3 point jumpers too.

NIRWANA VS QUAKES

Rookies will always be rookies.At least,tat's wat da veterans said so.& indeed,they were rite.Da Shocks was juz a figure-team to being so called "frightening".They have da advantages,yerp,wit da heights,da speed,da ball handlers,but they juz dun ave da brains.

So yea,Nirwana has tis 6 footer kid,and heck yea,he was gud in rebounding and block shots too.Never have I witness someone can make a near double-double by gaining numbers in rebounding and block shots.Tat kid took 10 boards and 9 blocks.But in terms of points,well,he sux anyways didn't do pretty well.

Though da Shocks was a young team,but tat doesn't mean tat they can't play.They can,but lack of leadership and tactics.As they were facing Quakes,they did put up a fight.Quakes mostly loss in terms of rebounding,lack of height I guess.But Quakes' defence were excellent.Steal by steals,and converted shots were made tat lead them to score da W and put them into da quarterfinals.

Quakes,led by their Scoring Machine Munex,was impressive somehow.It looks as though they made like 80% of their shots.Converted shots.Not those airballs or missed shots.Anyhow,another representative from Group B advances into da quarters.

J3 (C) VS WEMOTOR.COM

Again,it looks like a fight between da rookies and da pros.Well,to make it short and simple,J3 (C) is very well known for their rough plays.Literally.Elbowing,pulling opponent's jersey,stepping on their shoes,blocking opponent's knee,but hey,tat's basketball.It's a sport,not a cooking show.

But unfortunately for da younger Bangi Boyz,they met wit a team tat is well known on how to play dirty too.Especially Izzat "Da Freestylist" Tsunami.Yea,I witnessed maself,when da kids tried to play dirty,Mr.Freestylist can do it double,and serves them rite.

Anyways,as most had predict way before da 2nd round started,WeMotor.com will obviously grab da win.And not juz tat,Mr.Freestylist's elder brother,MRN,did a spectacular show for da crowd.By breaking ankles.Tat moment proves tat NCBL is juz not a minor league,it's a basketball league understand?.

So NC fans,we've done wit da review,now coming soon for da preview of da upcoming quarterfinals,ouh yea!! In da mean time,stay tune and enjoy da Ankle Breakin' move made by MRN below ayte.Til' then,stay AWE~SO~ME!!

Court-less?


Word Up Flava's truly?Remember tat 2 or 3 months back I got me a summon ordering me to court?Heck,things were a lil' easier but stupider to me.Da story goes like this.

I woke up early at 7.30 am considering da time is early for I used to wake up at da usual 11 am or 12 pm during my free days,getting ready,all dressed up for da court session.By 8 i'm on my way there.Well,view da picture above to know where will I be in da next hour.

After all da hustling & bustling through da highway freeway,low way,midway,anyway,I started to realize tat i've been to this wicked place more than once.Da route is where I used to come over or send my lil' sis Phacat back when she used to stay over in Duta area.Anyways,once I arrived there,as usual,search for a parking lot is always a priority.

I got there & was amazed by da surroundings.Not juz tat da parking lot has a lot of "pak guards" there,but they ave additional extra members too.Wild dogs.Lazying around like there's no other business to do.Anyways,I lead myself to da main door of da complex.

Once i'm in,again,I was amazed.I thought to myself,"so this is how lawyers look like".Noe why?It's like they're attending funerals instead of court sessions.They were all wearing black minus some who are literally black from head to toe.Da inside of da building was beautiful no doubt about it.But still,too much lights.Now I guez I noe where do all our electricity bills cash went to.

After a while,I asked on how to go to my court room.Well,da first mak guard gave me da direction.So I went for it.Almost circling around da building,I still couldn't find da court room.So I asked da first office,they mentioned it is at da back.Ok,after walking a while,still no sign of it.Then I asked da 2nd pak guard,he too said it's juz "there" by pointing at da unknown direction.

My mud wasn't so gud,& my temper had rise bit by bit.I'm not sure myself whether I'm excited to see da court room itself or angry with all da walking I made.I mean,first timers rite?I was like,"Does da court room look like those in da movies?" or sumthin' like it.Anyways,after almost a 20 minutes walk,I made it to da court room entrance juz in time.9 am sharp as on my watch.

I registered myself,and a sword juz stabbed my head juz like tat when da lady officer mentioned to me tat my summon hasn't been key in yet.Heart broken?A lil',as I couldn't get into da court room and witness da environment wit my two lil' eyes myself.But da lady officer told me tat it's better for me to go to da "Balai" rather than entering da court itself.

"Are you plain stupid?" Tat's wat I wanted to say at first,but not literally,it's juz a thought.So I asked why.Then she said tat if I go on wit da procedure,da minimum fine I'll receive would be RM1000.Yea,u got tat rite.1k,no kidding.If I proceed to da "Balai" I would juz receive a maximum fine of 300 bucks.Tat's a lil' relief to hear,but still,goin' to da Duta Court Complex and have to head back towards da "Balai" is a different path.& further distance for sure.

So there I go,& again,I realized tat da "Balai" was juz nearby da area of MABA home of da KL Dragons and Petaling Street da heck is wrong wit da officers these days.Anyways,nuthin' interesting there.I went in,check myself in,registered my summon ticket,line up for da payment,& finally settled.

Da point is tis,has our officers loss their mind and work ethics?They need cash for sure,as our government are begging for da people's money regardless tax or summon or anything as they couldn't even sum up their finance to pay their own bonuses.But still,da system are all on a downfall.More quantity,but lack of quality.

I'm here stating tat our officers are mostly corrupted.They couldn't even solve a simple crime case.Not like those officers in London.Why would I say this,do read this article in da link I've given here http://www.facebook.com/Cicak#!/note.php?note_id=432073840741&id=586500176&ref=mf and ask yourself,"Are we safe enough to live wit officers like these?"Til' then,Stay Awesome!! I change da ending phrase from Word Up to Stay Awesome for your info.

Legging vs Boxers.


Yes Flava' fans,i'm back.A month of disappearance,& finally I got sum time off this week.& i'm gonna enjoy tis.Ayte,before we go further,I'd like to ask ya'll,who likes legging?No,not legs,legging.U noe,those type-like-tights tat gals are wearing.And who loves boxers?No,not those pro athletes,but shorts-type-underwear tat guys wear during in bed.

Da feeds are like this,nowadays,da legging trends are back.Like they said,"it's da 70's".Yea rite,mind ya'll tat we're now in 2010,& in a few months,we're heading towards 2011 already.New style,new era.Anyways,my point is this.Ya' see,gals love to show their arses out in da public.But whenever they see boys in their boxers in a particular area say erm,college,they'll like,"dude,dun u ave any pants to wear?",da heck?

Pretty much of a saying ain't it?Here's wat I thought for wat's it worth.

Ladies in legging :-

1) Ya'll are like wearing panties in da public.

2) If ya'll got gud body shapes or hot legs,fine by me if ya'll got da shape of an oak tree,better check again.

3) Is legging to cheap to buy?Or ladies' wear nowadays are too expensive for ya'?

4) FYI boyz who let their girls wear these legging stuff,dun be an idiot.Ur like selling a whore on da street letting other people starring at ur gal.Ur not gonna be Tom Cruise by juz letting other people stare at ur gal's butt.

Well,I dun ave much thoughts on guys in boxers,cuz most of them only wear it during da sleeping hours,or juz by staying at home.But for once,I did see boyz using boxers and go out to da football field and go-soccer.Same ideas to ya'll,dun be an idiot.U wanna let ur ding-dong be free for some fresh air?Do sumthin' else like soak ur stick in ice.

Well,i'm not sayin' tat i'm right,& definitely those who wears legging or boxers for public outings are wrong.I mean,c'mon,we're not Euros,or Americans,da nations are different ayte.Get da point?It's juz from my perspective,no offence anyways.

I'm not saying tat wearing leggings or boxers are wrong,I mean,sum pro athletes wore them in games.Like Wade and AI.They wore tights or leggings sum of u idiots might recall during their matches most of the time.And like KG,he once wore a boxer during his spell at Timberwolves.

Final words,nuthin' big.It ain't a big deal,but juz keep in thought.For ya'll ladies,dun hate da guys who wears boxers out in da public,& vise versa to ya'll fellas,dun hate da gals who wears legging out in da public too.Cuz to me,all of u are equally certified as "supernoobs".End of saying,Word Up!!!

World Cup "Fever"?

Word Up Flava' fans?Remember World Cup 2010 : This Time For Africa?Yep,Flava's gonna share a lil' sumthin' wit ya'll about tis.Nah,it ain't about da goals,da winner,da losers or wat so ever.It's juz about one nite,during da grouping stage,da match between Cameroon and Japan.

Ayte,it's not about da stats,or whether Eto'o played badly,or Honda not da car was superb.It's about tis one guy,who was laughing through out da entire game from da start of da match,til' da 90 minutes are up.

It's like tis,Flava' went to tis one stall to have dinner.And while I was eating,coincidently da Japan-Cameroon game started.Not far away from my table were 4 grown ups,watching da game as well,smoking,drinking and,well,apparently were talking about da match as well.

So there I was,monitoring da game and da grown ups too and devouring my dinner.And suddenly,da moment where Honda was tackled by tis one Cameroonian,one of da gramps laugh like he was attacked by hysteria as or sumthin' as if sumone tickled his armpits.I was surprised,and was wondering why da heck did he laugh for?But no matter,I continued watching da match,and still munching my food.

Again,tis time,Eto'o was tackled by Nakamara or sumthin' like tat and again,da gramps laughed.I thought to myself,it's alrite,maybe he was just too excited for no reason.But then again,I was wrong.He laughed,well,like da saying says,"3rd time's da charm".Then I changed my mind about tat guy.

So I thought,"Is he hysterical?","Has he gone mad?","Is tat a hyena sitting on da table?".It's not tat I ave a problem wit people laughing in public,it's juz tat he laughed everytime any player was tackled by another player.Weird rite?Wat is so hilarious about watching players being tackled?Besides than laughing when he stops laughing tat is,he acts like he was Shabby Singh or Martin Tyler from ESPN commentator crews.Criticizing by saying things like "Apa la dok tegolek sini tegolek sana" and like "Bodo,xreti pass btol2 ke" and "Baik aku tengok Liga Malaysia mcm ni".

Pfft,I heard tat,& I laughed myself from da inner side of me.Da point is this folks,first,Liga Malaysia?Dude,even if u give away free tickets there will be very rare chances tat da Liga Malaysia's stadium be filled up wit spectators u noe.Secondly,who da heck he thing he is?No problem if u wanna give ur own opinion,but saying things like tat?Looks like he didn't finish his Bahasa language very well.And thirdly,it's World Cup tubby.They dun play like Malaysian League ayte.It's wat footballers do to get free kicks,actingfall down to da ground.

Anyways,like i've been saying before,I ain't perfect,I ain't a sports journalist or even a commentator,or any criticizer around da globe.I'm not even a professional blogger.But one thing's for sure,I dun compare things tat low when da rate is high,noe wat i'm saying?

So Flava' fans,wat do u tink of tis year's World Cup?Exciting?Disappointing?U decide ayte,but convince me,dun be da guy I've mentioned above ok?It's annoying,& irritating to be honest.Makes me loose my appetite too.Til' then,Word Up!!!

13 It Is.


Word Up Flavours? As of 13th of August 2010,Snipers' very own KoBron had turn 22.And guez wat,they had a heck of a surprise party for him.And it feels like a ghetto nite after a training session at our very own BJ Court da same nite.

It was 12 am,but we had a slight delay waiting for Azri da Siamang Saion and his date partner to come to Khausar's house.Besides,most of us were late,after a heck of 5 on 5 training session,we had to rush back to go and get da stuff.U noe,cake and drinks.But we made it.

As we quietly arrived at Khausar's front door,my guez was tat Mr.Hustla' called her and told her to drag birthday boy out.And as da light flicks on,everybody sang da traditional usual birthday song.Should have seen KoBron's face,haha.

Anyways,we ate,we laughed,we chit & chat til' nearly 2 in da morning,but we sure did had a lot of fun goin on.Anyways,da point here is simple.Though Snipers is kinda a problematic team,but one things for sure,it's alwez been a "Brothers in Arm" hook up for us.Whether it's gud or bad,win or lose,we're alwez there together,well,most of us I'd say.

Above all,Happy Birthday KoBron,this year's 22nd should be a blast for ya'.& be happy with ur gal there,Khausar's a sweet girl I presume,haha and she sure heck cares for ya'.We all do.Til' then,Word Up!!!

Snipers vs Cagers Game Review.

Word Up peepz?It's been a while,yea I noe,quiet and all tat.Hey,dun forget,i'm still a student u noe.So,it's normal if da blog is a lil' silent sumtimes.Anyways,i'd like to post da game review between Snipers and Cagers in da final match in group B,2 weeks ago.So,heads up and sorry for da delay.

First of all,no vids from da game.Somehow da battery was out witout us noticing about it.But da game isn't.Anyways,da Sniperians nearly made an incredible knock-out shock by coming late to da game.Yerp,really late.Da refs gave them another 10 minutes extra "waiting" time while da other 4 Sniperians waited wit anxious.1 minute left,da rest showed up,hora!!! But apparently,da refs gave Cagers a 2 free shot to make a statement,yea,we understood u refs.

So,da 1st quarter began wit a bang.Not a loud one though by da Sniperians.They were trailing 19-9.With emotion of coming late still running around da bench and among da players,Snipers look a lil' lost.But manage to keep up da points.At one point,they were running da court pretty well,but due to Cagers' extra "3 players" on da court,well,Snipers look like they're out of ammo.

2nd quarter looks da same though as if like 5 Sniperians against 8 Cajunsgers on da court.Foul after foul was called against da Shoot-To-Kill team whereas it was so obvious tat da Cajuns I simply call them Cajun cuz it sounded like Cagers had lesser foul calls against us.With temper on da court,da Sniperians took their rage by chasing in and closing on da gap.

By da time da 1st half is done,Snipers look like they really could shoot down da refs from where they sat.But no matter,they regroup themselves,wit gud motivation and wisdom words by Nazim Hero Remaja,Mr. Muscle's "main je" phrase,and encouragement by their team captain KoBron,they played like there's no next season for them.

During da 3rd,it showed that Snipers isn't a team tat relies on their 1st five only cuz they proved that even da bench can contribute and kick arses too.Wave after wave of hustling by both Mr.Hustla' and Man Ayam Kampung,with a lil' help with brave penetration by B-Joe,they manage to keep their score-chasing game intact.

On da defensive terms,all da biggy boyz from da Snipers team look formidable as if like da Great Wall of China.Raining blocks by Mr.Muscle,Baby Justin,KoBron and Geck clearly made a statement tat they do not only score,but they can smack tat rock away too.By da end of da 3rd,they tied da game at 39 a piece.

Da final decisive quarter began wit da Sniperians shoot through da so called "solid" Cagers juz because they beat UBSA few weeks before by creating a fastbreak play.From da starting point where they took da lead ever since da 1st quarter,Snipers never look back and keeps on penetrating Cagers' hoop.After a while,they realize tat not even da refs and even da coach can do anything about it TAKE THAT.

As da clock ticks down to zero,Snipers won da game wit pride and proven to da other associates or any bias referees and particularly players tat they're not backing down witout a fight.Besides,Snipers intentionally or unintentionally helped Arions passing through da 2nd round,cuz not all of da teams around here like Cagers anyway.

So,da group stage is over,and Snipers now is officially in da quarterfinals after a lucky draw by da leading team UBSA,and wit a month rest,every team have an ample time to prepare,& train for more excitement to come.Anyways,time for da Playoffs.So NC fans,ya'll gotta wait for it ayte,in da mean time,Selamat Berpuasa dun cheat on ur fasting month ayte.Til' then,Word Up!!!

6 Champs Again,12 Humiliated.


Word Up basketball fans?As some of ya'll noe it,last week was da week of S.A.F,a short form of Sukan Antara Fakulti,or Inter-Fac for short.& S.A.F for shorter.Anyways,i'm not here to cover up all da sports,& of cuz,as u guez it,i'm here juz to cover my basketball.Yerp.& mostly it'll juz be some & some.

Lets head on to da ladies first.Well,as some  of ya'll noe it,FSR was da defending champ.They won da title a year ago,so I guez some of them thought tat training is not compulsory.Anyways,they passed the test in their group matches where they beat APB wit a large margin,36-0,& they beat FSPU 12-6.

Although they were nearly beaten by FSPU when they were down 3-0 heck scared da hell out of me,but fortunately,they got back their composure,& put up a gud fight.Eventually,they won.

After da draw,da ladies were lucky tat they manage to go through automatically into da quarters sounds familiar rite? & not having to bust their arses in da 2nd round.So,a night's rest,& in da quarters,they met FPM.A faculty from Puncak Perdana they came all da way to Shah Alam? as I heard.

Well,during da time before da quarter-final match started,they were all prepared.Warm ups,they did some warm up shots,free throws,lay ups.But guez wat?They got beaten like first timers or more like someone who doesn't know anything at all by da FPM gals.Imagine this,they were leading 4-0,& tat's it.& later on,they were trailing 4-12.Da heck?

So,after their loss,they had a lil' discussion among themselves.& here's some of it tat they manage to list out:

1) They didn't understand how da defence goes ordered by their coach.

2) They couldn't play wit other teammates or easy to say 'tak ngam / tak leh masok' or they dun ave da connection between them.

3) Coach's mistake.

4) Other player's mistake,not individually.

It's not tat hard to tell.Flava's not saying tat all of them were bad,out of 12 of them,maybe 3 of da players do not realize their own mistake superstar rank I guez.Let us revise shall we?Here are da things tat they should have realized a month ago before whining like a cry baby:

1) When they are called for training,da number of players attented never even reached da number 5.They'll juz ave excuses.Even during Saturday mornings and Thursday nights when they dun ave any classes bugger ain't it?.

2) Let us see,when u are a player in a team,watever ur coach says,u do it.Listen,adapt & perform instead of whining yada yada cuz it's not tat hard.

3) Some coaches can accept criticism,cuz it makes them to become better each & everyday.But when u think tat ur a superstar beyond & above ur teammates' level,tat's why u can't play wit da rest of ur teammates.Think ur better?Go ahead for an individual sports.Cuz as far as i'm concern,basketball is a team sport.

4) Last but not least,da ladies lack of chemistry & trust among themselves.Due to?Easy,refer back to da words I've been repeating over & over again,self-thinking superstar.

Like da title said,12 humiliated.Yup,all of them were.Yet,da boys made it all da way,winning all matches in their group stage,passed da 2nd round due to they were a bit unlucky by da draw tat made them in da 2nd round,into da quarter-finals,semis,& finally,take home da gold & pride.

Why did da boys triumph but da ladies fall to their feet?Easy.Though not all da boys knew each other well,but we play cuz we believe in our teammates.No one proclaims to be da superstar of da team.If i'd say tat da great chemistry among us,it's only between da 6 former UiTM Arau players Panje,Ayie da Grizzly Bear,Geck,Kuya,Dowh & Muz da Panda but yet,they can still snatch da gold back to FSR.

How's tat possible without training?Easy,we play,we believe in each other,we trust each other,& most of all,we listen well to our leader / coach.Tat's not even hard to do.

So,wat's da different between da boys & da ladies' FSR basketball team?Well,communication.Tat's just it.Well,tough luck ladies,ya'll better learn to be a good listener instead of being selfish.Again,it's not a teaser to all,only few of it.Anyways,it was a gud week of basketball & for other sports as well.& let's hope tat it'll still be da same wit more improvement for next year ayte?Til' then,Word Up!!!

p.s. - Not to forget,kudos to our 2 hardworking and cute too managers and their crews too.
