Snipers vs J-Three (B) Game Review.

"Keep Winning".Tat's what da Sniperians are telling themselves each & every week.

Word Up Flava' fans?We're back with another Snipers' game review.This time,it was against da younger brothers of J3 (A),da J3 (B) brotherhoods.It's a face pace considering da clock whine down fast enough to end da game too & non stop basketball too.

In da 1st quarter,Snipers look more like they control da game by winning da jump ball first.After a few rotations,and a back & forth chase,Snipers open their score through their Center/Forward Mr.Muscle wit his favourite "Spin-da-ball-board" shot from under da hoop.Snipers were playing gud defense as J3 (B) tried to equalize da score but failed shots after shots & Snipers were on a 10-0 run in 6 minutes and 24 seconds until J3 (B) opened up their first two points.

After a quite run made by both teams,Snipers look a lil' lost as they gave up their possessions through 8 turnovers in a quarter.Tat looks bad,giving J3 (B) da chance to chase da points,but they too did not convert da shots made.Though they did a good ball rotation,but their shots weren't there.

And we move on to da 2nd quarter of da match.Again,Snipers' defense was a lil' hard to penetrate this week by keeping their "all out" slogan intact compared to last week's game against Archers.Another turnover by J3 (B) gave da Sniperians to charge towards da other end but failed to convert da shots twice.Changes were made,bringing in both Yen da Samurai & their injured captain KoBron.Snipers increased their score through Nazim wit a lil' dirty play by Gecko where he screened for Nazim but bringing his leg upwards & made da defender stumble which da ref didn't see it I suppose.

Not much action in da 2nd quarter as seen tat J3 (B) did quite a few turnovers tat led to Snipers' scoring opportunities.Rebounds and scores were more on Snipers' side and Snipers took control of 2nd quarter.

3rd quarter commences.It's interesting cuz we get to see J3's own Mini-Me no.4 player in action where he literally made Mr.Hustla fly-high,but he didn't take da shot.Instead,he turned it over,wit B-Joe already stole da rock,passes back to Mr.Hustla,& a beautiful dish to KoBron which he made it count.Beautiful fastbreak play by da Sniperians to start up da 3rd quarter.

One of another gud fastbreak play by da Sniperians was from da starting point where Mr.Muscle tried to block da shot attempted by J3 (B),instead,it went airball.Zikri Baby Justin wit da rebound,long pass to KoBron,KoBron dishes back to Baby Justin for da lay-up.Not counted due to travelling.Another beautiful play,but a waste of chance.

J3's 0 point scoring run ends in da 3rd quarter when Mini-Me manage to steal da ball from da Sniperians,dribbles along da way,and attempt a 3 point shot,but was airball again.But,this time wit a follow through by another J3 (B) player wit an easy 2 point shot.So they made it look like an alley-oop attempt.Pretty amazing though looks like a smaller version of Nate Robinson to Tony Allen thing.

Another great play came in by Mr.Hustla himself.After a turnover was made by Baby Justin wit a bad pass to KoBron,J3 got da inbound pass but out of nowhere came Mr.Hustla wit da steal,& da score.Da momentum soon came to an end where a 3 point attempt was made by Gecko,only to see it hit nuthin but da air.Other than tat,nuthin' much interesting in da 3rd as shots by shots & points chasing were seen.

Final quarter was in,& it looks a bit promising.Things were looking a lil' bit off when Snipers let J3 scored first,unlike da previous 3 quarters where they were da once who open da game.No matter,after tat shot,Snipers came back wit a more beautiful play.Mr.Hustla dribbles da ball up,passes to B-Joe,back to Mr.Hustla,straight to Da Samurai,passes to KoBron & a one touch pass to Mr.Muscle and scored.Manage to imagine it?How beautiful was tat?All in a single pass witout any running involve.

J3 (B) looks a lil' demoralized in da 4th quarter as they looked like starting to be playing evening-type games.They even create a turnover which led to Mr.Hustla's steal and score plus he was aided wit an extra screen play by da referee himself.Controversial?I dun think so.Funny?Definitely as da referee was laughing so does da Sniperians who were on da bench.

Closing down to da final minutes,Snipers look like they were off of their focus.They gave away two back to back turnovers wit bad passes and missed shot which leads to an easy scoring by J3.But on top of tat,Snipers still took control of da game,& wit da clock ticking away along wit da sound of da buzzer,it indicates tat da game is over,& Snipers took their team tally to 4-1.

So NC fans,make sure to stay tune to da 6th week's game preview ayte?I'll be doing it real soon,unlike last week,it's gonna be stirred up wit spices and extra ingredients as promise.Til' then,Word Up!!!

Boost Your Way Up.

Word Up Flavours?Ya'll noe & surely remembered well when ya'll were lil',& having sweet tooth or teeth considering it as in,"kids love sugar".Tat's why they love sweets.

Well,as we grew bigger,all of us are concern bout our teeth & jaw rite?Anyways,forget tat part for moment.Cuz I'd like to tell ya'll about da latest Cadbury chocolate named "Boost" not boops,not boots.

As seen in da picture,it's wrapped in blue paper,with a clear sign of it's name in red.I never heard of this bugger until a good fren of mine saying tat there's a new chocolate named Boost,& we were at da Petronas station tat time.So da heck,I looked for it,bought for him & myself.Then went I ate it,I was like,obsessed.

Da first bite was like a love bite winning a thousand bucks.It's chocolaty taste filled wit inner layers of chocolate makes ur mouth water.& seriously addicted if ya'll not careful enough.I noe I did.Til' I got myself a hole in my teeth.

Anyways,this section is juz so ya'll heard of it.Cuz I keep seeing parents or kids buying da same Cadbury bar all da time.In Tesco,Giant,& even 7-E.Same old Black Forest,same old Hazel flavour.Now Boost,is a new thing,& ya'll should try it & see whether u can hold urself together.

Juz so ya'll noe,it is a lil' hard to find,but most of it were sold at gas station & Giant outlets.So look for it,& gnaw ur teeth in it.Til then,Word Up!!!

Feelin' Durr-ty?

Noted tat all conversations have been translated from Malay language into English,so it may sound funny.Or not.

Officer 1 : Pull over,park over there.Car with plat number J** 5*** drove how fast? (wit a grizzly bear voice tone)

Officer 2 : 110.

Officer 1 : Gimme' ur license. (Like a thug ordering for a bag of weed)

Me : Ok.Sir,was I driving tat fast?

Officer 1 : Of cuz,wat kind of a stupid question was tat?U were driving 110 at 1.7 km highway wit a limit of 80. (Explaining wit da "I-noe-better-than-u" tone)

Me : *Da heck is his problem?Period pain or sumthin'?* (Thought to myself)

Word Up Flava' fans?As ya'll read da above conversations & ya'll are curious,it's wat happen when I got my 1st summon during a road block when I was on my way to da 6th June's edition of NCBL league held at Balakong,Cheras Batu 11.

Here's da catch,I dun really mind receiving a summon during a road block,but it's juz tat these factors below made me felt like these grandpas wit uniforms are juz looking for dirty money.Due to :-

1) As an officer,where da heck is ur "politeness"?So much for ur "Tegas Tapi Mesra" slogan.Or sumthin' like it.It's not tat I said "Hey Grandpa,da heck u hold me off for?" or anything like it.

2) I was stepping on my pedal,so yea,maybe I was a lil' unlucky tat my speed meter went from 60 to 110.But as my frenz recalled,da meter didn't even reach 110.It was only 90 going 100.

3) Are they juz making dirty money from rotten-looking cars?Cuz there was a BWM 7 series speeding way faster than I was,while I was doing 100 or so.& by da time I got to da road block point,da BWM was rite in front of me,& drove off,without being ordered by any of da officers there to pull over.Now u call tat 'fair' & 'just'?

If ya'll wanna noe more,I dun really need to tell da details.It's juz tat I felt like I was robbed by an officer.Da people who were suppose to be watching over our nation.Is this part of being a dirty cop?Or juz being plain corrupted?Wanna noe why?Here's why.

I've got a fren who were robbed off his & 2 other frenz' phone.Not juz any phone,1 of it was an iPhone.Robbed by 2 officers on a highway.They were pulled over sumwhere on da highway,without any reason,& da officers were black-mailing them by saying tat they can put all 3 of them in prison.No purpose,no nothin'.Want it or not,they had to give away their phones.This is no fiction,it's a story told by my fren himself to me.

Second story.Ya'll heard about da incident where da 15-year-old school boy got shot rite?At first,I would say tat it was kind of his fault because driving witout license during da nite.But later after wat happened to my fren & myself,I thought tat da officers pursuing da boy have no right to shoot da boy til' he died.Excuses?None given by da officers.Different stories were covered up by da higher chiefs.Where da heck is justice?

If ya'll wanna noe,I wasn't given any compound ticket by Grumpy da officer.I was given a ticket,ordering me to attend to da Traffic Court on da 6th of August this years,believe tat huh?

Anyways,I want ya'll to read this.Think carefully.Think wisely.Is this da supposedly ways of our nation's peace keeper to work?I dunno.To my eyes,they're nuthin' but corrupted creatures hiding under da blue & white uniforms.Til' then,Word Up Flavours!!! & becareful wit any police officers out there.Who noes,they might target u next.

-Spain vs Portugal Preview!-

Hey, what up folks… hope you guys are growing well as the tournament is…well, as expected the mighty Brazil won past their relatives in South American Chile to book a mouth-watering-last-eight clash against the Orenje…wow, isn’t it great? Nothing much to review on that match instead of the Samba in Brazil was BACK! Yiehaakkk..

So, back on business…this is the preview of another exciting of last-16 clash between the reigning European champions – Spain VS the European-Samba side – Portugal. To make it more interesting, we shall look at their both strengths and weaknesses…(maklumla, blaja event management..hakhak) so, shall we?

SPAIN

To be honest, this is one of the best team that plays a very beautiful football with a marvelous individual skill from every player. Name me at least 5 most influence midfield in the world nowadays, I am very positive that it should include Xavi Hernandez, Iniesta, Fabregas and not to forget Xabi Alonso. They are more than capable to generate something good from the centre of the field and IF their strikers are not performing well, they also can score a goal, more importantly a winning goal. Other strength in this Del Bosque’s squad that we can’t deny is they are naturally talented and almost perfect in every department. The nightmare of defends is to faced a challenge against the pair of David Villa’s and Fernando Torres. The “el Nino” might not scored yet, but you surely did not want him to get one – if ur not a fan of him or Spain. They also have one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Iker Casillas and also with the maturity of Puyol and the capability of Pique to protect his defend and produce a threat at the opponents net, this is almost a complete squad.

Well, in the other hand, Spain is not the un-touchable team. The Swiss had proved it in their opening match. How bout that? The biggest enemy in this team is their confident level…it is good to have a high confident –especially when you’re wearing those Spanish jersey- but don’t let it become too high, thus, the result will be another defeat. Other than that, they yet had to find their stunning-club form all over again. This was what happened to England at this entire tournament, probably their best player now is Villa’s who always produced a brilliant thing when the team was in need, but if both Xavi and Torres not recover their form, they will be in a potential early exit against a better side-in this case, it’s the Portuguese.

Player to watch – David Villa.


PORTUGAL

Well, enough said with the “Matador”, now let’s analyze behind the enemy lines. The strength of this team surely is with the present of their skipper, Christiano Ronaldo. Well, FYI, im not actually a big fan of this country, but to become a runner-up from a group of death, and to produce 7-0 victory against the North Korean, I shall said they look like a big contender now. Forget about CR7 or 9, we all know the capability of this young man, but I would like to mention about the un-song heroes in this Carlos Quieroz’s side, that would be Raul Meireles. He is playing very well in the big won, he scored the opener and produced in the build-up of the others, and every time he step forward, he always produced a threat. The other thing that could worry the Spanish is the Portuguese went into the knockout stage without any goal against them. A goalless draw against Ivory-Coast and Brazil showed how strong their backline was and please watch this young player – Contretras – the left fullback who was so impressive in this tournament.

However, to beat the European Champ, the Portuguese need to look back upon a few things. First, their formation. Putting Pepe as a holding midfield player was never a good decision. We know that some centre-back have that capability to fill in that role, but not Pepe. I would like also to see Mr. Quieroz to put CR7 back at the winger position where he was grown to play there. He’s is good as a centre forward, but he can be better when he got his space at the side- which he had already shown for so many time.

Player to watch – Christiano Ronaldo

So, the key for tonight game is the midfield battle. If, Thiago could stop the domination of the Spanish trio – Xavi, Iniesta and Alonso from influencing the game, that should be interesting. Well folks, enjoy the game, lot’s more drama to come and let’s not hope it not coming from the referees. Till then, word up! p/s…no MAD-nesday for this week. Huhuhu.
regards, -Mr.C-

Flava' Welcomes Mr.C.

Word Up Flava' freaks out there?Remember in da last post tat I mentioned I was looking for a co-blogger a.k.a a partner to keep this blog going?Well,introducing Flava's partner,Mr.C!!!

As for Mr.C,well,it's his secret.Like myself,we hid ourselves to da outer side of da boundary called "friends" and "families".Only da people in these two categories knew our true identity.I will be in a mask,while Mr.C,well,tat's he's choice truly.

NCBL 5th Week Review & Mid-Predictions (2).

We're back Flavours,wit da next edition of Flava's very own mid-predictions of NCBL starting from 5th week.So,let's get it on wit it.

DIV 2 (GROUP B)

ARCHERS VS QUAKES

Quakes won against Archers.Another boost for them as they look to grab da top spot or no.2 spot in group B.Tat is,they have to beat da Ballerz from Shah Alam first.But still,things look good for them though.

K-2 VS SLASHERS

K-2's first win of da season,wit a narrow win against da Slashers,44-42.Not bad for an old-timer huh?This proves tat though K-2 are mostly veterans,but they still have what it takes to beat da youngsters of today's basketball players.

ARIONS VS UBSA

Is UBSA tat good?Most people predicted tat UBSA is gonna go all da way without a single loss in their win-loss column.Well,in da mean time,they did beat Arions this week.Arions' key player T-He somehow is in an off form.He missed his favourite 3 point jumper most of da time,& wasn't in his head at all.I guez fatigue from last week's game against Quakes hasn't all gone yet.Better luck next time.

CAGERS VS BANTURAZ

Cagers won,as expected I guez.It looks like they really intend on securing their last week's spot of no.3.& determine on to qualify to da 2nd round.

J3 (B) VS SNIPERS

Da actual review will be shown in another post.In da mean time,Snipers won this game,51-23,& battling out for da no.2 spot.& probably going for no.1.

DIV 2 (GROUP C)

WEMOTOR.COM VS FENRIR

As expected,da 3 Amigos from WeMotor.com showed tat they are still on track to put themselves in da 2nd round position.

VENOM VS RUDDERS

Venom won,finally?Maybe.At least,they are tyring to avoid from being at da bottom of da group.Could be possible.

PRINZE VS HURRICANES

Prinze,a former 1st division team,lose to Hurricanes,a 2nd division team.Where does tat lead your thoughts to?Easy,not all Division 1 teams are going back to 1st division after a season in 2nd division but UBSA might be an exception after a mass renovation.

D'FLIPSE VS TITANS

Titans won,not to say anything,but D'Flipse might need to reconsider on getting better players next season.

TOP 4 GROUP B

1)UBSA

2)SNIPERS

3)QUAKES

4)CAGERS

TOP 4 GROUP C

Well Flavours,tat's all from me this week.A very quick review of NCBL's 5th week games has to an end.But there will be special reviews for certain teams coming up later on.So,stay tune,stay safe,& Word Up!!!

England-Germany review!

Hey guys, it’s me again…this review came just after the game finished...So, I guess, I’m still in da mood huh... well, as the truly England fans, it should be frustrated when seeing ur team being humiliated in such a big stage like World cup…but, as a football fans, here’s come the 4 important keys of this game from ‘Mr.C’ which ended by a big win to the Nazi’s.

Team selection

On my last preview, did I ever mention a name of Upson in the heart of England central defender…it’s a NO, and it was for a reason…he played for West Ham, didn’t have any pace to stop Klose, his judgement and passing was too bad and he was not good enough…Come on Capello, yes he scored the only goal, but his main task was to PROTECT the team, and he failed.Klose and Mueller were not the best striker in the world, but still… he can’t reached any of those two. To be honest, Terry also not playing well, but not as bad as UPSON.

Lampard’s disallowed goal.

This is such a key moment of this game and Mr. C also believed many of us agreed. When you are 2-1 down, and Lampard produce a brilliant shot like that which obviously went in…the only people to blame was the referee. Oh my gosh, when will FIFA learn. It happened to Rep of Ireland in the play-off and now it happened in the Finals. Some said that England will still not won, but remember, if that goal had been allowed with the usage of video tech (like rugby), it might change the entire night (or evening in Africa). It will be a hot headlines and believe me, it will be a biggest upset of the tournament.

Germany’s beautiful football.

If other player or team wanna learn how to play beautiful football and superb counter attack, they should watch this team. Nice pieces of control, calm at the back, strong in midfield and also very fast during the counter attack which produce 3 of 4 germany’s goal. The brilliant played of Ozil, with the help of scheweinsteiger(wrong spelling? dun care) and the sharpness of podolski…well, u can’t ask for a better player with a young age like them…in a simple word, germany was just too good for England-tonight.

Under-perform Roo.

Other than the issues of referee, another big upset of the tournament was when the high-rated player like Rooney could not managed to score…erm let me see, even once in the entire tournament. He’s been struggling with his form since his ankle problem during a match with Bayern Munchen-a GERMANY’s club. Well, I’m not sure if I will even enjoy this world cup if I’m at his placed. This should be a key factor of England’s early exit.


Well folks, by hook or by crook, it’s the end of England’s world cup journey. It is such a shame when you have a bright player like Gerrard, Lampard and Terry which will be their last tournament for sure, but yet you still can’t find a way at least to reach at semi’s. naaaa,it’s the beauty of the game. till then, word up!

“mr. C”

NCBL 5th Week Review & Mid-Predictions.

Word Up NC fans,we're already in da 5th week of NCBL's Basketball League,and shud be where most of us can predict da winners,da losers,& who's gonna be where for next season.So,without further a due,let's get it on.

DIV 1

PHANTOM (A) VS J3 (A)

Phantoms won against J3,which is a must win for da Bangi Boys in order for them to be in da top 4 spot.But,eventually,Phantoms proved tat they were too strong for da newly-1st-season-1 division-ers.Hopes for da top 4 looks dim for da Bangi Boys for sure now.

CONS VS SWOOSH 1

Last week,Cons was in da bottom 3,at 8th spot.This week,they loss to da Mighty Swoosh in a crucial fight to survive not da usual fight for survival match.As their loss,it looks like 2nd Division has call them and wants to confirm their spot for next season already.Tough luck Cons.

ATM VS PHOENIX

It doesn't have to be a long review,cuz things look good for Phoenix as they are at da near entrance to da top 4,& a confirmed exit back to 2nd Division for da Terminators.See u guys next season in 2nd Division.

COCORO VS FLAMES

Now this is a true fight for survival match.Cocoro,standing at 7th,and Flames,at 6th,both struggling to avoid relegation.And Cocoro ensure tat will happen to them by beating Flames this week.Although it won't really ensure them safety yet,but Cocoro is satisfied,at least for now.For Flames,it looks like another tough job for u guys.

SCOREKEYS VS PEGASUS

Pegasus won?Surely.Scorekeys loss?Definitely.Poor Scorekeys,dun worry.There's always gonna be another basketball season for u fellas,in 2nd Division tat is.

DIV 2 (GROUP A)

NEXT VS JUMP

Jump's 1st win of da season.& Next's loosing streak looks to be in a clean sheet,haha.Tat'll be 0-5 I guez?Dun wori boys,there's more game to finish,anything can happen.

NIRWANA VS BENCHWARMERS / BW

In a match where to should determine a no.1 spot in group A,again,BWs surprised all those who doubt them by beating da Shocks 47-43 or sumthin like tat and let Nirwana tasted their 1st loss of da season.Nirwana was on a hot streak,undefeated in for matches,beating Phantoms (B) and many predicted tat they will be da leader in group A.

But looks like da Three Rainers showed Nirwana da ropes well by putting a statement tat says "it's not gonna be tat easy Shocks".Now,da no.1 spot can be anyone's.Either J3 (C),da BWs,Nirwana or Phantoms (B) can grab da top spot and claim da quarterfinals ticket.Way to go Benchwarmers,keep tat cloud full of raining threes wit ya'll ayte.

MALAYA TITANS VS SOULSPEED

Yea,Malaya Titans won.So wat's da big deal.They didn't make any impact tat impresses me yet.

J3 (C) VS BULLETS

Bullets caught my eye today,by not giving up against J3 (C).Although they loss,but there's quite a number of 3 point shots made by these Young Gunz.Keep tat feet working boys.Compliments to Adam Cockroach from Phantoms (A) too for a well-managing effort.

PHANTOMS (B) VS GRIFFIN

Griffindors let their opportunity to advance to da 2nd round slipped away by giving da W to da experienced team of Phantoms (B) this week.

Well Flava' fans,I got my own prediction for 1st Division teams right here,as well for da 2nd Division's group A teams too.Wat will be yours?Hit up ayte.

-first 2 games review-

Hey guys..a new guy here..thanks to mr flava coz giving me this opportunity of being a co-blogger to this blog..appreciate! although this invi had been accepted like a “long” time ago, but ..naaaaaah, now im writing..hehe..anyway, lets call me ‘mr. C’..hoyeah..

Well, actually I like to post my preview on WC2010, as a whole review of the tournament, but but but..macam da lambat jea, its come to the knockout stage already pun..so, to be up-to-date, here’s my review-prediction for the remaining team left in the tournament…;p

Uruguay vs Ghana (Quarter)

Alright, some talks saying that the uruguay did not deserved to past the korean, well so do i..just look at the performance of the team yesterday, how unlucky was the asian side to not qualified. However, on the other side, for me, this is the best chances for the Uruguaian(cam salah jea..hikhik) to re-write their history because they are more than capable of beating their next opponents. They have their best side after a very long time and this is their first time of reaching a quarter after 1970’s. With Forlan at upfront and Lugano – the skipper at the back, the only department to be worry is at their midfield which I think have lack of creativity. However, they have “luck” in their side.

Ghana? The only African nation team that left in the competition, bringing the hope of the continent in their shoulder and don’t forget, they are the youngest side in the tournament. For me, with or without Essien, they’re still a strong side. Look how they dominate the game with USA and almost every player in their team are playing in EPL. So, my prediction for this game is another 2-1 victory for the south American team.

England vs Germany (last 16)

This is like a classic encounter between the two countries. They have been rivals for so many years and before the game, the Germany’s legend – Franz Beckenbeur had labeled Englands as a wasteful side for not being a group champion to avoid the clash.

In this tournament, many fans saw Germany as a fav side to beat the three lions and also to win this tournament when they start with a big-big win against the Aussie. But with the unconsistency, lack of experienced and also the injury crisis, Germany is not that strong anymore. The strength of this side should be in their midfield with the rise of high-rated player names Meshud Ozil. With the injury of Ballack, Ozil played superbly and show how important he is to the team. All the Germany need tonight is just their consistency at the back because they’re facing some familiar faces in EPL.

The last time when England won the WC is back at 1966 at their home ground. There are too many expectation to this side, many said this is the best side of this decade, complete at every department and have a superb striker that in a fire form. Well, sometimes expectation “killed” you even before the tournament. The injury of their skipper, the scandal of the star and many more, should be their biggest weaknesses more than how they played. With Mr. Capello that had a great record in the qualifying campaign, I still don’t understand why he still wanna stick with the 4-4-2 formation while the 4-5-1 formation is looking more suit to the team. With the present of Gerrard, Lampard and Barry at the centre , Lennon, Milner or might be J.Cole at the wing, Rooney will be more productive when he being alone upfront- he showed a “million” times at his club. However, to beat Germany tonight, they have to be very-very strong at the defend. I’m not afraid at their centre back or fullback, either Ledley King or Carragher, I believe Terry will have no problem with that, but the main issues is yet- their goalkeeper. Green- nowhere near at the good level, James- was a good keeper, but sometimes produced a silly mistakes and Hart- not even capped yet in a tournament, but an excellent shot-stopper. Last but not least, although I think the Germany will get an ease to past England, but there is an instinct for me to call for a win for the three-lions.
Lot more to come- now let’s enjoy the game and cheer the games, people. Because WC is not just a football, it’s something that brings you tears of joy and sadness, and it’s unite us.

-Mr. C-

PHANTOMS (A) VS J3 (A)

It's going to be a heck of a match as J3 (A) is looking for redemption after their loss to Phoenix last week,their hopes of going to da semis looks a lil' dull.But a win against Phantoms (A) tis week might give them da chance to be in da top 4 spot.But it's not going to be an easy one as Phantoms (A) are one of da merciless team in da 1st division.

SWOOSH 1 VS CONS

Swoosh 1 is gonna beat Cons swiftly and quickly.

PHOENIX VS ATM

Things dun look gud for da Terminators this season,let's juz say tat da Flaming Birds are going to leave da ATM players behind.Way~ behind.

COCORO VS FLAMES

Another fight for survival match for both teams I presume?But judging by how Cocoro is playing,they have da better chances.But Flames has da better momentum since winning against both ATM and Scorekeys in da previous weeks.

SCOREKEYS VS PEGASUS

Goodbye Scorekeys,hello Pegasus.

No idea.But Jump has da better chances wit better players.

NIRWANA VS BENCHWARMERS / BW

Da undefeated Shocks meeting up wit da surprising BWs.BW is fighting to regain their no.2 spot back after their loss to Phantoms (B) last week,while Nirwana is surely now going to da 2nd round,but still hoping to finish top spot to gain da advantage of advancing straight to da Quarters."Tough chance Nirwanas" says da BWs.A must watch match.

MALAYA TITANS VS SOULSPEED

I hate to admit it,but surely da Malaya Titans are going to take this one away from Soulspeed.

J3 (C) VS BULLETS

I wonder when Bullets is going to show their true ultimate weapon?Winner?Isn't it so obvious tat J3 (C) is goin to win?Durrr~.

PHATOMS (B) VS GRIFFIN

Griffin hasn't loss their hopes yet to qualify through da 2nd round.But this week,they are facing one of da favourites,Phantoms (B).With a win against BW last week,Phantoms look like they are ready to beat Griffin this week.Same way on how they beat BW,by using their secret players,Batman & Robin.

DIV 2 (GROUP B)

ARCHERS VS QUAKES

Judging by how da games in group B goes last week,more surprise cud come again.Will Archers and Quakes perform another narrow fights this week?Well,we'll see how things go.

K-2 VS SLASHERS

Slashers are surprising everyone.Even da Ballerz from Shah Alam themselves.They only lost to UBSA by 69-63,for a team tat is not yet known to others.Seriously?Yea.With K-2 in their way,I would not doubt tat Slashers is goin to win this one.

ARIONS VS UBSA

UBSA looks to be more prepared than ever,wit their winning streak closely looks like ending against Slashers last week,they are going to ensure that Arions would not come closer within 10 points I suppose?Well,Arions need more than juz big jumpers against this Gigantic Ballerz tat's for sure.

BANTURAZ VS CAGERS

Erm,I haven't notice a thing yet,but I would say tat Cagers is gonna win.Might be wrong,but who noes.

J3 (B) VS SNIPERS

Mostly people would say,"Snipers is gonna win","Snipers has da better chance",Snipers this,Snipers tat.Well wake up peepz.Snipers has a problem,most of da guys are on an injured list,specially their bigs.Although J3 (B) are school kids with height disadvantages,but their shots are wicked.Like it or not,it's a duel to da end.

DIV 2 (GROUP C)

WEMOTOR.COM VS FENRIR

Easy win for WEMOTOR.COM for sure.Da 3 Amigos are still livin' it up.

VENOM VS RUDDERS

Erm,i'd love to say Venom,& ya'll noe it.But somehow,Venom's game play never convinced me to say so.So,go Rudders?

PRINZE VS HURRICANES

Prinze,ur facing an undefeated team in da Group C of second division.R u up to it?

D'FLIPSE VS TITANS

Assuming tat D'Flipse has done a lot of progession in building up their team,I'd say tat it's a fair match for da Titans.But as a more built in experience team,Titans are more prepared than D'Flipse does.So,go Titans.

Well Flavours,tat's all from me tis week.It's short,yea I noe,cuz i dun really ave da time,but as promise,it'll be back like usual after this week has ended ayte.Dun 4get to surf Check The Ball,Please! by Mr.Rpk,cuz he got da new looks & new style on his blog,& more previews & updates too.Til' then,Word Up!!!

Intersession's Finale.

Running toilet seats anyone?Word Up Flava' fans?Today is da day where all 180 FSR students from 4th & 3rd semester will celebrate their victory after a 5 weeks battle against classes,& those freaking numbers.& not to forget,there are exam keepers one of them is da one I hated da most this semester too.

Ya'll noe wat?It was funny,I barely stop laughing since an hour after da beginning of da final paper.Yea,it was entirely cold inside da indoor court,but tat's not da point.Today is about airconds vs FSR students.

I was sitting at da last row,really close to da door,& there it was,da 'Table of Registrations'.Where those who intends to do business wit da toilets will jot down their names & time,& goes out from da hall.But u noe wat?Da last 2 hours was like,one after another,lining up to go to da 'Throne' due to da coldness inside da hall.

Boys after girls,girls after boys,one after another & pee by pee they went.I was there,sitting wit my buddy Mok next to me,Seth da Porcupine in front me,& my lil' sister Mayang about two seats away from me,listening,watching and laughing all da way cuz these guys look like people who are rushing to buy World Cup tickes,haha.

They even argue about who's goin out first,even da exam keepers started to like "him first","no la,tat guy first,then there's another after him,then will be his turn" thing.Even da girls are like goin in & out.

Anyways,it was my favourite moment of this semester,& due to tat fun time,it was my first time of not going out from exam papers earlier than da supposedly finish time.Cuz me,Mok,Nwar,Seth & Mayang was enjoying it.

Anyways,my best wishes to all of da FSR students who took da intersession courses,& let's pray for our success together with flying colours ayte?Til' then,Word Up!!

Craving For Cheaper Fastfood?

When we heavy eaters stay up all nite watching TV,or frankly speaking now is da World Cup month,wat do we do?We go out looking for food,& probably "lepak" til' da show is over rite?

Word Up Flavours?Flava's gonna put ur tongue to da taste by letting u decide,which is better,among da top 2 fastfood maker which I consider is da top 2 in today's history,Uncle Colonel's I wonder when will he be promoted to a higher rank like Captain or General very own KFC not Kamal's Fried Chicken which does exist somewhere in da northern state or McDonald's no name restaurant which is why it is called as McDonald's or McD for short.

Now,da reason why I brought up this matter cuz,da day I had myself a cheesy wedges,I thought to myself,"hey,i'm quite full,and it was worth my papers".Have you ever thought of that when ur eating at McD restaurants?

Da catch is this,u've got 13 bucks in ur pocket,& ur craving for a fastfood,well,food.& u can't decide where to go,on ur left,u have Mr.Clown's yellow & red yea!! Go Selangor restaurant,& on ur right,old grandpa's chicken heaven.

Before u go & follow ur tummy an idiotically not ur head,spot da difference.Lemme help u wit tat.At McD,for 13 bucks,u stuff urself wit any medium sized meals,a burger,a fries,and a coke,wit unlimited refills of it.Plus,maybe a sundae ice-cream too.Whereas at KFC,u can get urself a snack plate of 2 pieces chicken,a mash potato,a coleslaw,& a soft drink as well as adding on da people's favourite,da CHEESY WEDGES.

So Flava' fans,wat will u choose?Technically,it all depends on how high does ur hungry meter stands at.But for me,I'd say I'd go wit grandpa's chicks chickens.Cuz u noe wat?In terms of burgers,u can get 3 double beef special burger at Ramlee's burger stall anywhere,wit 13 bucks,& surely,1 will make u feel like it's goin down to ur arse already.

So Flavours,pick a place,choose wisely upon wat ur stuffing at,stay healthy,& keep da words up.Til' then,Word Up!!!

NCBL 4th (5th) Week Review - Snipers vs Archers.

         

When ya'll look at these two pictures,wat can u tell from it?It's simple,da answers are Heart & Spirit.Back in last season where BW had to face Zero which is not participating this season during da group stage,they too had to face them wit 7 players only.Though they lost,but they played like there's no tomorrow for them.

Where as for da Shoot-To-Kill team this season,they faced da Robin Hoods wit only 6 players available minus one during da 2nd/3rd quarter due to injury.But with sheer determination,Snipers won wit a 36-35 scoring game.

It goes like this,da game was in da early morning which was suppose to start at 8 am eventually da refs were late,so,lucky Snipers they had da chance of waiting for another players to arrive Yen datang ngan muke ngantuk plus Nazim datang tesengih-sengih before da game starts.

First quarter,Snipers opened their score wit a 3 point jumper by Gecko,after a good screen by Snipers' forward cudn't remember was it Jimmy or Mr.Muscle and da momentum was there.Archers pulls back wit a 2 point shot.Da 1st quarter was like a chasing points game,where shots by shots were made by both teams,but Mr.Muscle from Snipers proved tat he's got more than juz looks muscles to score.

Mr.Muscle dominated da 1st quarter by scoring 8 points for da team,and grabbing 7 rebounds to help Snipers control da game.Nazim tried to push da tempo,but made few turnovers tat led to Archers' scoring attempts.Not much of a highlight from da 1st quarter though.

2nd quarter begins wit Archers scoring first wit a luck confidence shot made from da baseline.Wit Yen & Gecko contesting da shot,still,da ball goes around da hoop,& in.It doesn't look gud for both teams as they are still trying to create an open opportunity,but failed to put in da rock.

Somehow,Snipers looks more alive wit proper ball rotations and a never giving up rebounds though mostly they lost their boards to Archers and a good rotation sees Sadiq to Nazim,Nazim to B-Joe,B-Joe to Gecko & 2 points goes to Snipers.Most of da 2nd quarter was dominated by Snipers due to loads of 3 seconds call to da Archers players.They may got da board after their jump shots,but they cud not convert for their precious points somehow.

Eventually,Snipers was still leading until da 2nd quarter ends.& still,da points were close.A lil' sumthin'-sumthin' like 20 - 18 score,or less like tat.3rd quarter commence wit Archers' possession.But soon,more unmade shots by Archers lead to Snipers' penetration to da hoop,again,still no converted shots made.

Both teams look tiring as they tried to increase their scores.But Archers regularly updated their scores from da freethrow line as Snipers looks to be on a foul trouble.

Da scaring moment for Snipers was when Jimmy went up in da air to grab da ball,& landed on one of da Archers' player,& he drop wit pain & agony.He barely walk,& lucky for da game,Ala not da real name from Archers was a doctor himself.So,he did da best he cud to help big-ol' Jimmy wit his knee problem.

Anyways,let's continue wit da game shall we?Jimmy ended his game wit 4 points and 9 rebounds,but tat didn't stop Snipers' 5 leftover other players from charging.Somehow,Gecko looks like Mr.Hustla himself,though wit a bad defence,he tried to pay da mistakes by hustling back da ball.Wit help by Sadiq & Yen on da weak side,they made Archers look like school kids taking shots.

Archers retaliate wit offense by offense and they made Snipers look even tired than before.But as were said,they didn't finish like they were suppose to.If they do,Snipers were down by many points by da 3rd quarter.At da end of da 3rd,Snipers is still leading by a narrow margin.

Da real fun begins on da 4th quarter.Snipers begin their charges with good penetration,but both Sadiq & after a steal made by Gecko cudn't convert da shots.Fatigue was written on their foreheads.But good defense covered up their mistakes by making Archers rotate da ball until da 24 clock buzz out.

Closing to a finish wit only 5 minutes or less to play,both teams look tiring & made so many turnovers,it looks as if they switch their game play into a "football-time-wasting" strategy.Though Archers had chances of making fastbreak points,da coast-to-coast chase by Nazim & Gecko managed to stop them before they cud even come close to da hoop.But by fouls,Archers got most of their points,again,from da freethrow line.

Now,da real drama begins at 10 seconds left on da clock.Snipers got da inbound possession,da score stays at 36-35,where Snipers was leading.Archers started their aggressive defense hoping tat Snipers will made turnovers again like da previous quarter,Zharif a.k.a B-Joe held da ball,passes to Gecko,& was pushed over by an Archers player.

Gecko was pushed and grappled since da 1st quarter,combining all quarters,he collected 9 pushes by Archers.Wit fatigue controlling his mental,& was pushed over & over again,it looks like anger got him going but still cudn't compare to Ghazi's Kame Hame Ha technique when he pushed Miro during da Petronas Cup held at Johor.Nearly a brawl,but everything was under control tanx to Ala and Zharif for cooling things down,close one though.

Freethrows were made by Gecko,but still cudn't convert both of da shots guez tat anger really got over him & Archers charged wit full speed.Zharif was there,& collected a foul.Giving Archers da one & only chance to take da lead & win da game wit 1 second left on da clock.Pity for Archers,both freethrow shots didn't go in either.

Somehow,Ala got da ball,goes up,buzzer sounds,& da ball didn't go in da hoop like he was hoping to.Snipers won da game against Archers wit a very-very close call,wit 36-35 score.

So,there u go Flava' & NC Basketball fans.1 post review on da Snipers-Archers duel,& it rarely happens on tis blog u noe.Man of da match goes to Sadiq a.k.a Mr.Muscle wit 16 points,9 rebounds,2 assists,1 steal and 2 blocks.I'll be quite busy this week,so ya'll might not see my preview on this week's game,but dun 4get to check da new & styling-profiling Check The Ball,Please! ayte.Mr.Rpk updated his blog already,& looks more interesting than ever.

Mind u guys & girls tat I did this review while watching da Snipers-Archers game & did da stats as well.So,it looks kinda upsy-daisy if ya'll noe wat it means.So,Flava' fans,til' then,Word Up!!

NCBL 4th (5th) Week Selected Games Review.

Word Up Flava's truly?I'm in a good mood today so I thought tat i might hand in my selected games review early,rather than usual tat I post it in 2-3 days later.Juz a reminder,since da game was early morning,so I didn't manage to watch da whole thing til' da end,so,here's da snitch,& da rest ya'll gotta go to Check The Ball,Please! or pemainbolakeranjang.blogspot.com for more ayte.

SCOREKEYS VS FLAMES

Here's da thing,when I said that a win is a must for Scorekeys,it means i mean it.But,seeing da way how things went down between da Scorpion Scoring Monkeys and Flames,it looks like a sure go to 2nd Division for Scorekeys next season due to their loss against da Fyra Of Fires.

Scorekeys didn't play that bad as they put on a hard fought,but still,they loss 60-50,& if i'm not mistaken,Flames controlled most of da time,& eventually,da game itself.Poor Scorekeys.

QUAKES VS ARIONS

A fight for da top 4 spot.It looks as if Quakes was gonna take this game da easy way,but Arions didn't back down witout a tough fight.Da game was a score-chasing moment,where hoop after hoop was made by both Quakes & Arions.

Quakes' aggressive plays plus Arions' top speed tactics sure made da game more exciting than anything.Da big moment was during da 4th quarter,& da clock was ticking down with 7 seconds to go.Quakes was looking for a man-to-man Ds,but Arions was smarter & manage to break from da defense.

Da ball was on an inbound play,& da rock was in T-He's hand as Arions believe that T-He is their best shooter in da team,Quakes' defense somehow when bizarre,& left T-He wide open.

Clock's ticking,3 seconds left,T-he went to da 45 angle,a player from Quakes manage to run back & contest da shot.2 seconds,T-He went up in da air for da buzzer-beating shot,da ball when high up,buzzer sounds,T-He falls,da Quakes player looked back,da ball hits da back of da hoop.& there it goes.

A 57-56 win for da Quakes,wit a huge sight of relief,they manage to pull out da win from Arions.If only T-He's shot fell into da hoop,his shot could be in one of da NCBL's top favourite moments of this season.

PHOENIX VS J3 (A)

Check more stories on this match at Mr.Rpk's blog ayte.Flava's top moment during this match?Surely,Yaseer's 3 point jumper after a lil' shake to da defender.It shows tat confidence plus headbands & long socks creates da show.

Ayte peepz,stay tuned for more,cuz i'm saving da bes or da worst for da last.

NCBL 1st Div's 4th Week Preview.

Word Up peepz?There are questions asked to me regarding da week of da league.Yea,lemme get it down to ya'.We are in da 5th week specifically,but in da league's schedule,it goes by week 4th due to da originally 4th week,da court was used by another event.Get it?No?Alrite2,let's get down to business.

SCOREKEYS VS FLAMES

Two teams that are struggling for survival.Somehow,this will create an outcome of a one way route for both teams.For Scorekeys,this lost means that there will be no more hope for them & a sure spot for 2nd Division next season.

Where as for Flames,a win would give them a slim chance of staying in 1st Division for another season,but a loss,well,they can say hello to da 2nd Division teams already.But for sure,they have a much bigger momentum since they won against ATM during in week 3,& it looks like Scorekeys need more than juz 5 men could they make another history of playing juz another 5 men? to win this one,if ya'll noe wat I mean.

PHOENIX VS J3 (A)

An unlikely reunion of last season's 2nd Division match-up.Clearly,if i'm not mistaken,they haven't meet each other yet,not until now.& this match will prove that which team will be better than da other.Flava's choice,Phoenix for da win.

SWOOSH 1 VS COCORO

Da usual 4th-placing-team against da Mighty Swoosh,well,considering that even da Caru King that's wat they called Yaseer is not wit da Swoosh team,they are still able to beat da rest of da teams like Phantoms (A) and Scorekeys,I wouldn't doubt tat they will lose to Cocoro as well.Sorry fellas,ya'll gonna do some impact before I can create more story for ya'll & i'm referring to da Cocoro players.

ATM VS PHANTOMS (A)

Remember da day when I said tat da Terminators would pose a huge threat considering their last season's sizes in da 1st Division?I take it way back.ATM's performance didn't impress me as they went down and played badly even against Flames.

Judging by da way they played,wit no playmaker and no big guns,I'd say tat Phantoms (A) is gonna beat them to a pulp quickly & smoothly.

PEGASUS VS CONS

Pegasus on a hot streak,& Cons fumbling & tumbling.Easy,there might be a lil' fight,but surely Pegasus' gonna take this one out of it.

So,there u go Flavours,da end of 5th week's preview.& as usual,all u gotta do is juz go to Balakong Batu 11,Cheras,watch da game,& get excited!! Til' then,Word Up people!!!
