Saratoga-

That game should be played at 8pm, so the royal fans can get all tanked up and abusive as possible for either Wilkes (and CJ) or Kings (and Naismith)

NEPA, actually it's CJ and Ni teng ting ging ju for Wilkes and Leo The Lion for King's.

FYI_ Wilkes outshot King's from the charity stripe (22-7) until the final two minutes when Wilkes was relegated to fouling. Still it ended up 22-14.

Sorry N - Wilkes and Kings tend to blend together in Royal Land.

Thanks but do they keep a stat on total fouls called?
There are 12 potentially non-shooting fouls and then potentially 3 -1 and 1's.
Wilkes actually converted the front end of just about all there 1 & 1's (which means you shoot an extra 6 attempts versus missing all front ends  which is Wilkes modus operandi). Wilkes also had about 4 conventional 3 point plays which results in shooting fouls prior to the mandated 1 and 1.

Since Kings played slow tempo perimeter ball in the 2nd half, most of the fouls against Wilkes were the hand check variety. I think three illegal screens as well in the 1st half. Most all were non shooting calls.

Point is that shooting fouls are not total fouls.
And total fouls being even or lopsided does not indicate a  well called game.

That's ok NEPA.
I actually root for both Kings and Wilkes.
I am a a born and bred Jersey transplant.

I definitely am a Colonels fan first overall but I pull for Kings and Scranton postseason as they are local.

Nais, that's all well and good but the only thing I can from your post is that you're calling me out about something?

Calling you out?

No No.....
just paying homage and respect to your uncanny knowledge of local DE hoop personalities.

You asked where I had been? ???
The answer was basically nowhere.......next time I'll kiss (keep it simple stupid) and say Nowhere.

Now, Sun, I am taking the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge so I will be indoors and waterparking myself for 48 hours.
Quite a place they built in Soctrun, Pa.

If you have kids, nieces and nephews, you should think about it.

Naismith-

Sorry I missed you at Senuna's last night.

As for the game yeah it was a little bit of a snoozer, but it was a good win for King's cause I had this listed as a huge trap game.  As for the officiating last night, the travel call on Soboleski in the 2nd Half when he reached overhead to steal the ball was laughable, and most of the Monarch faithful agree with me.  I hear the ref who called it is "Handshakes" Jr.

As for my Saturday plans, do I take a leisurley weekend drive to Madison or go to the Long Center.  Decisions, Decisions...

Drew, a trap game? Watch you don't get a paw stuck in one of those traps, Leo. ;D

Leo The Lion

Yeah Drew was definitley a trap game,

King's was two days removed from an emotional win over Wilkes, in front of a rowdy crowd.  They played Drew (whose already had some upsets) in front of a crowd 1/3 the size of Tuesday and about 1/100th as rowdy.  If a team losses focus on a game like that, they could lose.  But the Monarchs did not lose focus.

Leo,

Yeah, the Sobo walk was pretty lame.
And yes, Handshakes Jr. was in the house

So was DaU .....
Scouting I presume....????

Leo, I may head up I-81 myself
DeSales always play hard so it should be a good game.

saratoga

For what it's worth...Kings @ FDU...Kings by 9. DelVal. @ Lyco...Lyco. by 19. Wilkes @ Drew...UPSET SPECIAL...Drew by 4. Desales @ Scranton...another close one, Royals by 5.

naismith

Saratoga,

I called by bookie in Arizona and they gave me a forwarding # to Italy???

saratoga

The big money is actually on Lyco +19 vs. DVC. Do well enough on this weekends games & you may be invited to Saratoga Springs in August when the greatest 2 year olds are running...or so I've heard from someone I know who also knows someone in a little island villa in southern Italy.

naismith

Been known to make that late summer sojourn....
In fact, only missed 1 meet (live) in 25 years.

Usually stay in Round Lake.....sometimes Albany....Schroon Lake or (in the old days) right in town at any fleabag motel that didn't charge $300/night.....lol

Sperry's on Caroline and the Cliff House (left at the Red Tomato on Rte. 9 south of Saratoga Springs are my choices for dining.  At the Cliff, they really do not raise prices in season and have the best steak around. Very sports bar oriented.
Just ask for Chaz at the bar and tell him you know the Rags sheet player from Wilkes-Barre, Pa.......that and $3.00 will get you a beer...lol.

Don't do the Travers anymore.....always was partial to the Hopeful on clsing weekend but they have moved a lot of the dates recently.

Great place!!


Oh, my Italian connection used to play hockey.

'Toga, I'll bet a 5-timer on both Wilkes and Scranton given those gambling lines.  I'm staying away from Lycoming.

Sir James Naismith, how did you ascertain a draft at Senunas's for merely 75 cents without the requisite mug for "Mug Night"?  Did you have a mug from "Helen's" and they still accepted it??
