Week 2 Recap

Kelly vs Donaruma
52-40
On a day where Kelly looked much the better team, I'd say Donaruma despite losing may have figured out what's going wrong for them and this loss may be the key to future wins. Kelly showed how well rounded their team is and if you don't know the names of some of the freshman on this team, you should learn them cause they can seriously play. Sammy Eggiman didn't have a great day scoring, but I think it's time to acknowledge that he does just about everything else well and that is plenty when everyone else can score. He's tough on defense and shares the ball well on offense. As far as team Donaruma goes, I think the less said the better. Evan Beigel and his good looking teammate Bush played well and scored 27 of their teams 40 points and we're really the only things going right for their team. They only had one sub, but I think if this team is to win they need to cut the step back prayers and hand grenade threes and just let Bush and Beigel do their thing.

Bonaventrua vs Jarboe
53-38
There's no questioning if team Bonaventura deserved to win this because they simply outplayed team Jarboe. Brendan and TJ were both missing and it showed big time. As I predicted in the pregame predictions Simon's sickness really hurt him and he struggled to play extended periods of time and he took the back seat to Max who put up one of his higher scoring rec games in his career. Jarbowski scored 15 points and his three ball is what kept team Jarboe in it. Lots of credit has to go to both Derek Caruso and Ryan Bernard. Derek bounced back after week 1 and showed why he went so high in the draft and played super efficiently. Ryan shut up the doubters and played his way into quite a nice statline for the morning scoring something around 10-12 points. Will Vogel, Derek Caruso, and Ryan Bernard may not have been the big 3 everyone was talking about at the beggining of the season, but they can certainly make some noise. 

Dzwonek vs Cianci (kinda)
44-36
This game was ugly to say the least, it took 5 minutes for either team to score and it's very possible that had the rest of team Cianci showed up, they could've gotten the better over team Dzwonek. However they didn't, inststead they had 3 players show up and a team Cianci +2 players held their own. Stevie somewhat took over and painted 15 points and that was really enough to win them the game. I'd like to be able to talk more about this game, but to be honest it was a bit of a write off, team Dzwonek won a game they should've won against a team that should look extremely different the rest of the way and that's just about it.

teDuits vs Strauss
66-47
This game somewhat failed to live up to they hype that was surrounding it during the week. I think everyone was expecting a thrilling battle between former varsity guard Jared Whitby and Rec MVP favorite, but instead we got a Whitby-less Strauss getting dominated. The teDuits twins played out of their minds dropping a combined 40 points and had some spectators comparing them to Lebron and AD. They were all over the boards and could score at will and if Colin was efficient at the line it could've been even more. Strauss and Fordham played well and even had their team up by a few buckets about halfway through the first half, but it all went to shambles when they started letting Bradley shoot. If there's one thing we learned from this game is Bradley can hit the trey ball and after hitting 6 on team Strauss most people will have gotten the message. This game was somewhat overshadowed by the news breaking that one of the best artists in the rap game today (Juice Wrld) has sadly passed away. RIP Juice.

Mcnamara vs Anzivino
37-24
I hate to toot my own horn here, but not only did I call the Mcnamara upset win, but I called them scoring 37 points aswell. Team Anzivino was missing it's big name in Will Bordes and also big man Sturmo who sadly broke his elbow and without this duo, team Anzivino really didn't have much of anything on offense. They're top scorers had 5 points each and in this league it's somewhat vital to have someone who will drop 10+ for you every game. Dummont led the scoring for team Mcnamara with 16 points and seemed to always have the upper hand in this matchup. Castelano also pulled up at halftime with his white vans for basketball shoes and was key for team Mcnamara in grabbing their first win of the season.
