Last night we won our semi final by two points. Not exactly what I was expecting, before the game I remember telling the guys we should focus on winning with a big margin, to give us some confidence going into the grand final next week (not all that cocky, since there wasn't much doubt from any of us that we were clearly the better team). They played well though, and without Jesse we struggled to get much movement in our halfcourt offense. It's a good thing we can shoot threes or we would have been blown away.
One of the highlights of the game was Ando introducing the concept of the "playoff foul" to social basketball. As one of their best players was in mid air attempting to convert a fast break layup, Ando took him down with what could best be described as a combination clothesline/elbow to the eye. He stayed down for a while and it looked pretty bad, but as Andy pointed out after the game, he didn't score again after that so . .
After the game I saw a bit of the other semi final. The team we are most likely going to be playing next week have a guy who looks like an AFL player, but with basketball skills. Apparently he plays in the ABA. As noone on our team plays semi-professionally, I think we're going to be facing quite a challenge.
