Don Diva Does White Chocolate Dirty While Terror Squad is Certified
Gangsta

White Chocolate All-Stars Vs Don Diva

The first half of this game was highlight filled thanks in large part
to "Hops" and "Sam-I-Am" of White Chocolate All-Stars. Between them
there could have been about 8 dunks in the first half alone, including
a rim-rattling one handed alley-oop from the DC Sniper himself (White
Chocolate) to Sam-I-Am. With numerous lead changes and no shortage of
scoring, The Sniper and his high flying teammates and Don Diva's Bone
Collector and Homicide all got their shine on in the first half.
Coming back from the first, score stayed close with more lead changes
and exchanges. This game really heated up in the closing minutes.
With just under a minute on the clock, and up by one point, Chocolate
turned the ball over for a Don Diva score, followed immediately by
another Don Diva steal. A fruitless trip for Don Diva this time
resulted in White Chocolate with the ball, now down one with about 30
seconds on the clock. A missed jumper from the Sniper gave Don Diva
the ball again. Fouled on a drive, Don Diva converted on one of two
free-throws putting them ahead an even two points, 86-84. With only
seconds left, White Chocolate player "Hops" goes to the rack and is
fouled. The first is a brick. With two seconds left, he missed the
second on purpose, but another Chocolate player caught it in the lane,
for a great look for the put-back! It rims out. Don Diva takes the
win in another EBC classic.


Terror Squad Vs. Certified

Watching this game reminded me of being young on the playground, and
seeing someone finally decide to confront the school bully who has
been terrorizing all the students for so long…and they end up catching
a beat-down. Insert Terror Squad as bully and Certified as brave
student. This was a one sided game from the beginning as Kareem Reid
AKA "Best Kept Secret" recognized a mismatch in his defender and
proceeded to abuse him, which eventually became them. His first
defender made the mistake of trash talking. He was promptly scored on
twice, and then even more promptly taken out never to see the court
again. The trend continued as Reid abused his next two or three
defenders, one of whom happened to be former Seattle Supersonic, Joe
Forte. Calling Forte's showing lackluster would be a way too generous
statement to describe his performance. By the time they'd went into
the half down 41-26, Certified had dug themselves a hole way too deep
to come out of.
