Week 11's nightcap is a great game to end the regular season. Delta Force is the second best team in the league and are eager to prove this isn't a fluke. Player/coach Damian Bulluck has Delta focused on making some noise in the post-season, and TKN seems to always make the play for his team to get the W. Raf Dasilva is a top MVP candidate and has placed himself among the leagues best scorers. Teammate Harold Reid also puts the pressure on teams on both sides of the ball, and brings energy for the green-goonies. There's no favorite to win this game, but whoever comes away with this win will be in great position mentally for the playoffs. READ MORE >

The nights third game could be entertaining but holds hidden playoff implications. The Shox have been the most unpredictable team all season. They've won five games but for a team with this much talent, that's not enough. Chad Easterling and CGF put a good show at the Garden but now it's time to show the league that the Shox are real threat to make it to the Garden for the game that really counts. Hyperflight only has one win but hopefully Jeremy Siler's return will help lead them in the right direction. With Niko Klansek and Jamaree Pinkard playing with a purpose, they could sneak an upset tonight. READ MORE >

The second game of the night could be the most exciting. The back-court match-up's will truly be high paced and fun to watch. Ryan Fisher, Bang Lee, and Brandon Smith have been getting it done as a trio all year with a three-guard offense that would make Villanova's Jay Wright jealous. Omar Grant and Eric Raymundo helped Terminator off to a good start but the team has fallen into a slump. Along with Dan Gladstone and Tony Forte, Grant and Raymundo are going to have to show up big to get this win. Jason Burke would normally be the catalyst in this and any game he's in, but fresh off an MVP performance at a media game at a media game during NBA All-Star weekend in L.A., the to look out for is Jay Corbin. He's got the hot hand and the confidence behind it ... READ MORE >

The NRF all-star event at the Garden was insane and in true all-star fashion, the players made it fun abs worth watching. But the season's second half is now here, which means the playoffs are right around the corner. Every game this week is a statement game and what bigger statement could be made by Generation than winning another game? Joe Branch has proved all season why he's the general of Generation and teammate Weston Spotts should be eager to prove he was a huge all-star snub.

 

As for the Foamies, expect a rejuvenated Ron Jackson to maintain his double-double destruction. Do Kim and Keith Howard are going to get buckets but the key to winning this game will be rebounding. Whoever controls the boards will come away with the win and let the league know they're ready for the playoffs.

Two of the NRF’s dark horse squads faced off to start the night of week 10. The action lived up to its potential but first we gotta salute Jason Burke, who now leads the NRF in air balls from the free throw line. After shooting his second oxygen shot, he surpassed Treasure Kyn Neal and his bff-CGF, who are both tied at one.

The Nightcap between AF1 and Hyperflight may have some devious implications. Both teams stand at 1-2 and could use the win but AF1 captain Ben Detrick seems to have other matters on his mind. “The game against Hyperflight is simply a ruse for us to kidnap The Real Aron Phillips,” Detrick said. “After seeing him rocking a ski hat, we're sure he's one of Santa's elves -- and holding him for ransom will guarantee a merry Christmas for AF1.” Rocking those green elf shoes, er-I mean “Rondo’s” may have been a bit of a giveaway. Watch your back, AP.

Hyperflight seems to be more focused on the game. "You always want to go into the New Year with some momentum,” said Hyperflight coach Bobby Jones. “More than anything else, we're looking play 40 minutes of solid basketball on both ends of the floor." Doesn’t sound ...

Delta Force got a lot of it’s Force back behind captain Damian Bulluck, in his triumphant return to the NRF last week.  At 2-1 and in second place in the Downtown conference, DF is out to establish a stronghold as a top team in the league. “Although our record has already confirmed that we are contenders, our goal is to gel as a team,” Bulluck said. “On paper we look good, now we need to continue to manifest that in the physical.”

The Foamies are also in second place in their conference and feel that Erskin Felix might be the player to bring them down this week. “The guy on Delta who can hurt teams is Erskin. He’s the kind of guy that seems to find the ball and basket with ease,” said Foamposite captain Do Kim. “The problem is, you can’t come up with a strategy ...

In what has to be the match up of the night, Team Shox is taking on Team Terminator in the 8 o’clock game. Both teams are off to good starts but the play of team Terminator is a bit surprising. They’re small but they also don’t give a damn. Eric Raymundo, Omar Grant and Dan Gladstone have been holding it down and could al be all-stars this year. Even my man Lilliputian-Lucian steps up in some moments (get well fam).

Team Shox hasn’t backed down from any team so far this year. Justin “The Commish” Leonard has been a strong leader for a team with shooters (Handsome Pat Cassidy), high flyers (Chad “youngest legs in the game” Easterling) and tone setters (Bernard “Booga B” Bowen) and style (CGF’s crazy-a** socks), This game has playoffs implications and expect Grand St. to get wild in game two.
