Being like every other team vying for the record of five games in the row. This team had all the ingredients to do it, but that dream was squashed on their fourth game.
MVP:
Brian. He incredibly overcame his vertically challenged stature and dominated inside and out the three point line.
MVP in the First Game:
Fishman came out with his guns blazing. Blocked Allen twice, made a few fast-paced lay-ups, and hit a turn around perimeter shot.
Arguments:
Marks and Potter had to go head-to-head three times in the gay version of Jump Ball called "Odds or Evens".
Injuries:
Collins (a lefty) announced that his left hand was injured before the game even started and did not want it to be reported as a game injury.
Play of the Day:
Sanders blasted out a three for the win while being heavily defended.
Unplay of the Day:
Allen's ego was pseudo-ly lifted as he caught a bullet pass from Potter on a fast break and ran in front of Basler. He attempted a two handed dunk for the first time this season. The bleachers emptied and everyone stood to see Allen's first dunk. Sadly, he was a half and inch to the right and the ball ricocheted off the rim. He hung onto the rim for a moment before he loosened his grip and fell to the floor. Though he failed the attempt, Allen has finally shown that there is a glimmer of hope of fufilling his ultimate destiny.

Game Week 16 | ASTORIA
Attendance:
Jon Fisch
Dan Allen
Ray Devito
Jesse Joyce
Big Jay Oakerson
Kurt Metzger
Nate
Todd "Had Lunch Next to Fred Savage" Womack
Tim Homayoon
Matt Taylor
Dave Siegel
Ted Alexandro
Max Lance
MVPs:
Fisch and Womack. Although to be fair, many players couldn't tell them apart and they both received assists from the opposing team.
PWTAOTS (Player Who Took Advantage of the Situation):
Initially Homayoon and Metzger was an even match. When Homayoon was matched against Joyce that balance was shifted. Normally, Joyce's name is synonymous with smoking, but he was well aware that he could use his height and perimeter shot to dominate Homayoon. At 6'4", Joyce towered over Homayoon and miraculously became the leading scorer and changed the outcome of several games.
Arguments:
None.

Game Week 14 | PAGANISM
Attendance:
Neil Potter
Lenny Marcus
Jon Fisch
Moody McCarthy
Sandy Marcus
Dan Allen
Ray Devito
Andy Campbell
Wali Collins
Pete Fishman
Ken (Fishman's friend)
Matt (Matarese's third cousin)
Team that Lost that Should have Won:
Marks, Allen, Fishman, Fisch, McCarthy
Players who were NOT injured or in pain:
Jon Fisch
Sandy Marcus
Wali Collins
Ken
Players who were injured or in pain:
McCarthy
Had his left eyebrow cut by Fisch. Potter patched it with a band-aid.
Campbell
Shoulder problem
(No one could tell if it was dislocated because his shoulder has always looked dislocated)
Allen
Poked in the eye by Potter and elbowed in the face by Fishman
(Left the court with a possible black-eye)
Matt
Had to be subbed out in the first game because of a hip problem. Fortunately, his prostate problem didn't flair up as well.
Devito
Dealing with lower back problems from playing outdoors on pavement.
Fishman
Cambell subbed in when Fishman had problems breathing. For some odd reason, he forgets to breathe when he jumps around. Normally Marcus, his childhood friend, is very hard on Fishman's performance, verbally nursed him back to health by saying, "Come on Petey, don't sit down, walk around...breathe...breathe. " It was uncharacteristic of Marcus, but an enlightening insight to the deep bond between these two men. An ambiguously gay moment or an act of brotherly love? No one knows for certain.
Potter:
Was operating at 70% due to a groin pull. Syrians are reknowned for having weak testicles.
Marcus:
Angst + Allergies = More Cantankerous than Normal Lenny
MVP:
Jesus! He died for our sins for Christ's sake.
MVP for basketball:
Devito. He took full advantage of the ineffective 3-2 zone and drained threes throughout the day.
Arguments:
None.

Game Week 14 | First Outdoor Game
Attendence:
Moody
Fisch
Big Jay
Allen
Randolf
DeVito
3 Local Kids from Queens
Artful Dodger
Team with Most Consectutive Wins:
Fisch, Oakerson, DeVito, Little Guy with Braces
MVP:
Fisch. His spaz-tacular performance was inspiring and frightening at the same time.
Injuries:
None
Un-Highlights:
A 17 year old senior who plays on the Long Island City High School's basketball team stole Allen's Treo phone. Allen went to the local police station across the street and the officers suggested that Allen walk around the apartments and give the adolescent the justice he deserves. Big Jay Oakerson didn't think that would be a good idea. Oakerson felt that not only would Allen be out of a phone, but also humiliated by a severe beatdown from a 17 year old kid.

Game Week 13
Attendance:
Neil Potter
Lenny Marcus
Max Lance
Dan Allen
Wali Collins
Collin Moulton
Seymour Swan
Corey
Jack Kukoda
Justin Sanders
Nick "Anderson"
Ray Devito
Ted Alexandro
Steve Marshall (sort of)
Team with Most Consectutive Wins:
Potter, "Anderson", Corey, Allen, Kukoda
MVP:
Seymour Swan continues to penetrate the lane.
Highlights:
Nick received his moniker "Anderson" because he consistently delivered his silent but unguarded three point shot last season. Although, it took him seven fortnights to redeem himself. He proved his ability to drain it from the outside by hitting a three for the win under intense defensive pressure.
Newcomer Moulton (a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) seemed more at home on a wrestling mat. He guarded Colins as if he was going to attack him like Gracie in an Ultimate Fighting Match. The crowd enjoyed his acrobatic, theatrical, lay-ups. One commented that it looked like he was skipping through a field of dandelions while flying a kite on a spring day.
Marshall arrived at 2:30PM and said, "I'm just going to go in there and fuck around." Confused, Potter had to go back and retrieve him since the gym was locked. No one could speculate who he was going to "fuck" around with. Some suggested the janitor.
Injuries:
Lance had to get his fingers taped up. Marcus knocked his knees on a hard roll to the floor. Swan almost had his eyes gouged out but was able to play. Anderson emailed ABA and reported he definitely has a small scar on his upper lip from his run-in with Allen's elbow.
Allen struggled Sunday after last week's fluke of consectutive three-pointers. Rumors have been leaked that he had trained with the Jason McElwain, the highly fuctioning autistic high school student from Rochester. We'll see if he can bring that back into his game.
