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.

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

1)HURRICANES

2)WeMotor.Com

3)SWOOSH 2

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”
