Who Wins the Playground Championship?

[Norm Peterson]

Fighting Norms or the Fearsome 49rs?

 

Best of 5. Full court. AAU rules.

[Go Big Fred]

49ers for the sole reason that in a playground setting Keisei is basically unstoppable

But I have Doc Sadler on my bench. Does the name Leemire Goldwire ring any bells?

In today's day and age, the 3 ball wins.  BUT if you're not hitting the 3, you could get slaughtered.  I voted Norms due to this, but I think it's closer than you think.

[cornfed24-7]

My thoughts are the 3 ball is neutralized by the unforgiving double iron playground rims. Gotta go with 49ers team.

Playground style is where Kesei and Kobe would thrive...

[atskooc]

Playground rules go by 1s and 2s. I’ve got 49r in a landslide. 

[Fullbacksympathy]

No 49ers can guard Trey or Bryce.  Plus playground rules so Kobe, Tomi, and Dalano get manhandled.  

[aphilso1]

Neither team can guard their opponent.  As others have mentioned, it probably comes down to whether the Norms are hitting their outside shots.  I say they do that in 3 out of 5, but all five games are blowouts:

 

Game 1:

Norms 91

49ers 72

 

Game 2:

Norms 58

49ers 75

 

Game 3:

Norms 61

49ers 71

 

Game 4:

Norms 85

49ers 72

 

Game 5:

Norms 82

49ers 68

Bryce tips the scales heavily to the Fightin’ Norms...

We got jobbed by the ref in game 4 tho...

I know a $100,000 way you can fix that...

I'll admit it kind of threw me when he took Walker 2nd after taking Eduardo in the first round. I assume he figured there were plenty of guards, but he could leave me with no bigs. So, I've got some match-up problems in the paint. But we're going to be on their shooters like gloves. I have a lot of confidence in Doc to come up with a defensive game plan to shut those pesky 49rs down. It should be EPIC!

[Norm Peterson]

By the way, my 2nd assistant is Larry the Cable Guy. I'm going for heft.

Can I help it if the ref can't understand Japanese?  My guy Keisei was ON FIRE in that game and the ref threw him out because he couldn't understand what he was chirping about after making his 10th 3 in the game.

 

(he was just asking Bryce if he wanted to get together to play some Xbox later...)

[Norm Peterson]

I'm just the proud of my guys' effort. We were facing elimination in game 4 but we hung in there and put the game away.

 

Game 5 was not as close as the final score makes it look. We win by 14, but if Keisei doesn't hit those 5 3-pointers in the last 90 seconds, combined with us missing some front-ends, we win that one by 25.

[49r]

The way game 4 ended was totally demoralizing for my guys.  YOU GOT LUCKY @Norm Peterson

Paul Velander finds out he actually has five games of eligibility remaining, decides to use them for this best-of-5 series, and takes 12 charges per game just like in '08-'09.
