EIS Lovers Season VIII Matchday 2

Personal Trading
Due to the wise words of Dennis, a vote has been out to see whether us folks feel trading a PG/SG from Champs with a PF/C from Gigantos would be beneficiery to both sides. The poll results came out that a big, BIG majority of the crowd feel the trade should be done with the highest vote for Eddie (Champs) to be traded with Mark (Gigantos)

The following deal with be sealed before Matchday 3 if no other surprises rings up.


Team Expansion
Due to the high popularity of our EIS Lovers tournament, some of our veterans who missed the draft due to particular reasons were back in the previous two games. As 5 players re-entered the frame, we'll be expanding our 6-person team to a 7-team format with the following players to report to the following teams:
Clutchers: Tor+ & Tae+
Bulldozers: James
Champs: Uday
Gigantos: Pete


Matchday Report

I met Vikram before hitting court and he was boasting about how many consecutive titles he has won. If memory serves me right, his team got the championship since season IV and he's been sweet dreaming about how many more he would probably add to his tally.

The dream hadn't last long as the next 40 minutes, the BULLDOZERS started ripping the Gigantos apart. Here are the match results:


Match 1 : Clutchers (27) 57 : 40 (12) Champs
Clutchers: Wolfgang 23 pts., Karun 10 pts.
Champs: Eddie 18 pts., Joke & Robin 8 pts.

Clutchers ran the game early as the appearance of Wolfgang had endangered the CHAMPS backline. It was yet another time the CHAMPS couldn't get into rhythm in the opening half succumbing to a 15 point deficit.

With the Clutchers feeling safe and free, the Champs slowly crawled back with Eddie catching fire behind the arc and Robin getting bit mischievous with numerous steals and fast breaks. The lead was slashed to 1. With a technical time-out called by Clutchers, they finally re-grouped and dragged themselves back to a worthy victory.


Match 2 : Bulldozers (44) 71 : 42 (18) Gigantos
Bulldozers: Dev 32 pts., Dennis 23 pts.
Gigantos: Vikram 19 pts., Mark 10 pts.

After Bulldozers 1-pt lose last week, the team re-group and dealed one of the worst defeats to Gigantos' title dream. Bulldozers were led by career high efforst for Dev (32 pts.) and Dennis (23 pts.) whose both scoring efforts alone has already surpassed that of Gigantos. A mighty victory for the BULLDOZERS!!
