Season 2, Week 2 Recap
Tipping off weeks two action was the Unusual Suspects against the Dummy Bears with the newly acquired Fei Fei at center who was released after a break out game with Team Zilla last week. The game started out with a 20 to 0 start by the Suspects, and ended with and equally large point discrepancy. Despite the monster stats of 14 points, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3 steals from Feifei, his team was not able to put up much of fight for this seasons preseason favorite.
The Suspects played relaxingly throughout the game, Nick Hailey finished with 21 points and a career high 16 rebounds, resulting in his first double-double. He also led the team in assists and steals with 7 and 4, respectively. Captain Xiao Chen with 15 points and 12 rebounds, on a horrid shooting performance (29.2%). Justin Zhu also gets his first double double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, plus 5 assists and 4 steals.

Game two featured Indy Boys who looked to bounce back from last week’s loss against the Robby Huang-less team Ericsu.com. Without the league’s leading scorer Ericsu.com managed to still be competitive behind commissioner Paul Tan's 19 rebounds and Brian Adam's 18 points. The game was back and forth up until the last 5 minutes of the second half when Paul Kim and Chang Lee knocked down some big three point baskets to lead them to their first win of the season. After missing three straight games dating back from last season, team captain Manley Wong returns with a strong performance of 23 points on near 60% shooting, and he was perfect from beyond the arc.
The final game of the day Godzilla versus the Bumble Bees looked like a good game on paper, but how would it shape out. Godzilla was without big man Fei Fei and Bumble Bees back to full strength with Gino Calderon running point. Despite horrible outside shooting from Zilla’s Calvin Wilson and T Hailey (combined 3-25), the lead by the Bees was held to three at by half. As the game went on and the short handed Zilla team seemed to run out of gas and the Bees where able to muscle inside thanks to hustle baskets by Bryan Cheng and a great 2-3 zone, as the Bumble Bees got their first win of the season by a large margin.
Top performers this week:
BBB: Ty Rashad: 23 pts, 2 blocks; Bryan Cheng: 12 pts, 13 rebounds, 4 blocks, 6 assists.

Season 2, Week 1 Recap
Season two kicked off with what might be a record that will be hard to break. Robby Huang of Ericsu.com, broke the leagues single game scoring and 3-pointers made records in a win over the Bumblebees, 66 -51. The game was relatively close but Robby could not be contained from behind the arc making, 12 of 22 and grabbing 14 rebounds. Needless to say he has made a strong impression for Rookie of the season. Also an emerging rookie was Ty Rashad who also had a good game in the loss, scoring 27 points and getting to the free throw line with regularity.
The defending champs Indy Boyz looked to keep an undefeated team record in tack played the newly revamped and healthy Unusual Suspects team lead by Xiao Chen. In the off-season Xiao was able to sign guards Titus Wright, and Darrel Sims, giving the Suspects one of the most explosive backcourts. Manly Wong, might have been able to proved the boost the Indy Boyz needed but he was a no show. Paul Kim season one’s MVP was held to just 18 points as the Unusual Suspects won 63 – 52.
The third game of the season featured 2 new franchises the Dummy Bears led by Melvin Chung and Team Godzilla lead by Calvin Wilson. Godzilla had an overall excellent performance without much of threat from the Dummy Bears. Team Godzilla looked strong with big men Yuchen Yuan, Feifei Jiang and Gabe Smith in the paint for most the game, looking like this could be the best big man lineup in the history of the league. Tim Hoover led Zilla with 16 points with the win over the Bears 68 – 43.
