Week 2 is here and we have just as many question marks as we did before week 1 started. Can team Manzke stay hot and ride the momentum against a more talented and bigger team Brian Healy? Will team McEldowney start the year 0-2 for the 17th straight year? the only guarantee for tonight is that Team Han-ever-win-igan will lose by min 15 to team Harrigan.
Bye O’Malley—-terrible week for a bye after losing week 1. lots of rest for hoops, A LOT is expected of him next week
6pm Carroll -6 vs Mac
Team Carroll with their 2nd 6pm game in a row to start the year….not sure who did the schedule but this was clearly done to mess with their teams mojo….6pm games are the worst. Carroll is coming off a nice win to start the year and (UN) fortunately will have all 9 guys at the game tonight..team Mac will be missing 3 guys…1 that matters a lot (Kennedy) and 2 others. Team Carroll is deep and although having 9 guys is pretty terrible, Mac has zero chance to win this game without McGuffage…..sorry, meant to say Kennedy.
7pm John Healy -13 vs DeCarlo
#1 in the power rankings vs #8. this one is pretty lopsided when you look at the match-ups. only big for DeCarlo is Michael Healy and he looked pretty bad last week….Can Johnny figure out a way to stop his brother? i have watched it happen before, we shall see what happens tonight. Hunt is out for DeCarlo which is a big time problem as the remainder of team Decarlo is under 5’5….Gierhahn and Packy will be expected to score a LOT tonight and based on their performance last week, this could get ugly. Don and Koll played pretty well together last week, will that last all year? has Brettman cut off his sleeves yet? Can wags shoot as well as he did week 1? this one is going to be super boring
8pm Harrigan -25 vs Ha!
you may be reading this one for a while because i have a LOT to say. Team Harrigan is coming off scoring 87 points in a loss to team Healy and lucky for them, they run into the worst team ever put together in this leagues 41yr history. to make matters worse for team Ha!, the Alaskan, their # 1 pick is in Alaska this week so will not be at the game. its kind of impossible to even go into match-ups for this game because team Harrigan dominates every single one. the only positive thing for team Hanigan is that their 9th pick, the 2nd to last pick in the draft has quit the league. hard to believe but the loss of the spanimal has actually increased team Ha!’s chances of winning more than 2 games this year. see match-ups below…sorry, i had to do it.
Kevin Harrigan vs Ha!—–over under on Whitey’s points is 24. i am betting heavy on the over.
B Harrigan vs Statham—–Kevin Statham hasn’t showed up for a game in over 18 months so not sure he will be at the game but if he does show, he will have to guard B. Pretty even match from a shooting perspective but the advantage goes to B because of Kevin’s hair. get a haircut bro
Rest of Harrigan vs Rest of Ha!—hard to pick any more match ups but the score from this group will be + 20 to Harrigan.
see you at the game boys, wouldn’t miss this one for anything.
9pm Manzke -1 vs B Healy
big loss for team Healy with Rob being out in COVID protocol. unsure if its the delta or the omicron or a cold but sounds like he is resting easy with the sniffles. Team Manzke coming off of a big win, quieting their doubters with a lambasting of team Mac. I am not buying it though…the only reason this game will be close is because Rob is out.
Statham vs Manzke—-great battle of 2 midgets. 1 is a really good shooter, the other averages 6pts per game. advantage LIL Beard
Overstreet vs Flannery—Dylan should dominate this match-up but after playing against flannery last week, its clear he was a value pick in the 5th round. Dylan will need to score a bunch
Bendo vs B Healy—-this one is pretty simple….Good basketball player vs mediocre basketball player…2nd round pick vs 4th round pick. Oaf vs Oaf. Brian will do his best to keep Bendo off the boards but will have a hard time stopping him from scoring. Bendo needs 12+ pts to keep team Manzke in this game
Matt Kelly vs Rapp—-Rapp cant stay with Kelly so not sure if this will even be a matchup but i had to pit the 2 rooks against each-other. both can shoot but Kelly’s slashing could pose a problem for team Manzke.
