Week 6 - 5/22/11 Preview
12PM: Wen Bo (5-0) vs. Hangovers (2-3)
Both teams are coming off very impressive Week 5 victories. The Hangovers trashed Houlihan giving them sole possession of the last playoff spot. Unfortunately, they will be facing an undefeated Wen Bo squad who flexed their muscles against the WNBA squad. Week 6 should answer some questions. Are the Hangovers contenders or pretenders? Will Wen Bo rest their starters or continue their dominance over the league?
Key Matchups:
Irvin (Wen Bo) 15.8 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 5.2 APG
Barnett (Hangovers) 15.2 PPG, 8.5 RPG
1PM: Houlihan L. (3-2) vs. WNBA All-Defensive Second Team (1-4)
The L in Houlihan doesn’t stand for Lucky, it stands for LOSERS. After taking a spanking from the Hangovers, one must wonder what is going on with this team. On the same side of the coin, the WNBA simply did not show up on Week 5 against Wen Bo. However, this is a re-match of the thrilling Week 4 game that came down to the buzzer. If we’re lucky, this game will be just as good.
Key Matchups:
Allan Z. (Houlihan L.) 16.6 PPG, .500 FG%
Max (WNBA) .700 FG% in Week 5, 8.2 PPG
2PM: Real Ready (3-2) vs. Ponzi Schemers (1-4)
The Ponzis have forfeit their Week 6 rematch with Real Ready all but assuring RR of a playoff spot. The OT loss must have been too much for the Ponzis. They'll be back and hopefully rested for their Week 7 matchup against Houlihan L.
