I hate to say it, but things don't look good for Shox. After an impressive win over Huarache (sans LeKeith Taylor) in Week 1, they got blown out in Week 2 by a hungry Terminator squad. While last week's loss was without sharpshooter Patrick Cassidy, this week Shox will be playing without Cass and starting guard Josh Gotthelf. They'll need Richard Ting back in uniform for Wednesday night's game, or else all the production is going to fall on the shoulders of Jason Burke and Justin Leonard.
For Uptempo, it really doesn't matter who you throw at them, as the defending champs are playing on another planet right now. While a Shox squad at full strength would maybe make them work, a depleted one won't be able to contain all of their weapons.
Key Matchup: Scott Williams vs. Whoever Guards Him
While Burke can matchup with Danny Millan, and Leonard can check Mike Won, there is nobody on Shox's roster right now that can contain Scott Williams. Look for another big night from the reigning Co-Rookie of the Year.
