2021 Round Twelve Thread

San Francisco Grizzlies 18.9.117 lost to Boston Terriers 20.11.131
(Real: 1760 vs 1960)

*cue most of the comp scoring sub-117 but still managing to not only lose but get smacked by Boston*
This was pretty close heading into today, but Powell and Green combined for 130 while Goldstein and Hall combined for 267...and how good is finally having a ruckman and not having to play one OOP! Stef (26) scored worse than an OOP player would've managed, but at least it saves me having to type (OOP), precious seconds.

Best
San Francisco: Stewart, Ryan, Langford, Rohan, Williams
Boston: Laird, Hall, Goldstein, Smith, Walker, Keays, Pendlebury


Chicago Sharks 19.7.121 defeated Ottawa Otters 17.7.109
(Real: 1821 vs 1632)

Sorry Macca and Nige, not much to say about this one. A slightly above par Chicago takes an expected victory over a slightly below par Ottawa, which Chicago more than needed to keep their top six positioning, although Chicago definitely could've used a bit more out of Oliver as they hope to win some pivotal games in the run home.

Best
Chicago: Brayshaw, Flynn, Andrews, McDonald, Henry, Parker
Ottawa: Cunnington, Graham, Jiath, Dixon, Taranto, Ryder


New Brooklyn Hawks 19.11.125 defeated Colorado Avalanche 17.9.111
(Real: 1868 vs 1670)

Colorado also pretty unlucky, to put up a reasonable score (especially considering VC Rowell put up a stinker - imagine if he actually was fit and with it) but not to even really come close. The Saints shone for NBH, with Crouch, Steele (c), and Membrey being the three highest scores of the game, and luckily didn't completely shower the bed in this contest and not kick a goal for the last hour of the match.

Best
Brooklyn: Crouch, Steele, Membrey, Bolton, Duryea, Liberatore
Colorado: Hickey, Simpkin, Walsh, Maynard


Wisconsin Cockerels 20.12.132 defeated Las Vegas Sinners 18.12.120
(Real: 1977 vs 1804)

How lucky that Vegas got McGrath's 9 subbed out and didn't affect HGA (obviously), it would be a shame if they had two forwards score 22 and 39...so ends a harsh away stand in Wisconsin for the Sinners, and they'll be missing McGrath at M6 (what a stacked team jfc) for a fair while. But we all know they're good enough to match it with the best, Jukercoach or not. Also, I'm still working on how to neg the Parish-Duggan trade...I'm sure it'll require some dimension bending.

Best
Wisconsin: Parish, Gawn, Macrae, Miller, Zorko, Darcy, May
Las Vegas: Mitchell, Petracca, Lyons, Naitanui, Lloyd


Houston Bombers 17.11.113 lost to Quito Quetzals 20.7.127
(Real: 1692 vs 1910)

This was looking surprisingly close leading into this weekend, but as you can see from the best, all of Quito's shone this weekend while Wines was seemingly a lone hand in keeping Houston in the same ballpark.

Best
Houston: Wines, Crisp, Bailey
Quito: Cameron, O'Brien, Greenwood, Swallow, Greene, Houston


Anaheim Mighty Ducks 17.8.110 lost to Carolina Panthers 18.11.119
(Real: 1644 vs 1783)

Carolina were hurting from Rioli and McKay twin (low) fives, while Guelfi and Petrol Jelly weren't much better for Anaheim. The difference? Merrett (137 as C) and Mundy (97 as VC) were good for Anaheim - but Bontempelli (149 as C) and Kelly (147 as VC) were through the roof, to swipe a hard earned but well needed victory for Carolina. But with five straight sub-55 scores for Milo, is his spot in the XVIII so secure?

Best
Anaheim: Merrett, Hawkins, Boak, Gray
Carolina: Bontempelli, Kelly, Ryan, Rozee, Martin
