Let's be frank. It's basically a do or die week for Air Force 1. Kind of like the Orlando Magic when they signed Grant Hill to a max deal, it's time to forget about Paul Rivera. And after trading for Jason Burke (shall we call him Tracy McGrady), if Air Force 1 can't win with the pieces they have, then it's nobody's fault but their own. After digging out their first victory of the season last week, you know Foamposite will be looking for another. If Air Force 1 isn't careful, coming off a bye week no less, they could win two in a row.
Key Matchup: Mike Tumbarello vs. Brandon Smith
In their win last week, Tumbarello led the way with 16 points and 2-of-2 from three. Smith is normally a titan from the land of plenty, and will need to be on his mark this week in order to come out the victor. Most likely guarding one another, it will be interesting to see how many shots they can even get off.
