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!!!
