RGBL / Dec 2 / S6 Week 9 - Game Recap

🏀 RGAC Season 6 — Week 9 Recap (Dec 2, 25) - The Grind

If Week 9 had a theme, it was “chaos with a smile.” The standings have stretched, tightened, flipped, and spun like a carnival ride running on half-charged batteries. But despite the chaos, the performances on the court gave us everything we crave in this league: surprising stat lines, hero moments, role-player revelations, and just enough randomness to keep us honest.

 

Our league averages this week were:

2.64 PPG • 29.47% FG • 0.53 APG • 1.93 RPG • 0.44 SPG • 0.11 BPG • 0.64 TOPG • 4.92 PER.

So that’s our baseline. Anyone above these? They did work. Anyone below these? Still love them — just maybe less work.

 

Oh, and the MVP of the Night goes to Johnny with a beautiful, sparkling 15.50 PER — we’ll get to him.

 

📊 Team Breads & Beers Ballers (1st Place — 25 Points)

 

The Ballers just keep rolling like a bakery conveyor belt, and this week every player sprinkled a little something extra onto the stat sheet.

 

Fisk is back in “I do everything” mode: 5 PPG on 35%, plus 3.25 RPG, 1 SPG, and a clean 8.81 PER. That’s well above league average PER, and you can feel how his versatility keeps the team’s engine warm.

 

Justin had a sneaky-strong all-around game: 2.5 PPG, 3 RPG, 1 SPG, 0.5 BPG, and a tidy 8.88 PER. PER like that is eyebrow-raising — the good kind.

 

Darren shot 50% and played his role like a quiet veteran, contributing respectable efficiency above league average.

Sunny tossed in 2.25 PPG on 33%, matching league shooting almost exactly — that’s textbook “league-standard contributor.”

Denny… took the night off on the stats sheet.

 

But the team came out 2–1 and stayed comfortably in 1st place, now sitting at 25W 11L.

 

📊 Team Adam Silver & His Happy Friends (2nd Place — 20 Points)

 

ASHHF went 4–0… on vibes alone? No. They had Johnny, and Johnny said, “Tonight? I’m HIM.”

 

Johnny explodes for:

🔥 7 PPG (league average: 2.64)

🔥 50% FG (league: 29%)

🔥 3.25 RPG (league: 1.93)

🔥 1.5 SPG, 0.75 BPG

🔥 15.50 PER — MVP of the Night

 

This is the strongest all-around single-week performance of Season 6 so far. Absolute domination.

 

Leo followed with a fantastic night: 5.50 PPG, finishing above league average in every category with 34.62% FG and 7.06 PER.

 

JC struggled with the shot (15.79% FG) but still brought 1.75 RPG, 1.25 APG, and a win.

 

Alvin filled minutes efficiently but minimally.

 

William stayed efficient with 50% FG and 1.33 PPG.

 

Don shot 50%, scored 2.8 PPG, and achieved a perfectly solid 5.20 PER, just above league average.

 

ASHHF now climbs into 2nd, tied for record but ahead by point differential — big momentum swing.

 

📊 Low & Go (3rd Place — 17 Points)

 

Low & Go had a weird but impressive week. They go 2–1, and their standings jump shows how tight the middle of the league is.

 

Danny had his best week of the season — 3 PPG, 28% from three, 7.13 PER, and 2.5 RPG, all above league averages except FG%. He’s heating up.

 

Jeremy continues to be one of the league’s purest rhythm scorers: 3 PPG on 38% FG, plus 1 APG, and a clean 3.56 PER. Solid week.

 

Jo stayed steady at 2.25 PPG, 3.25 RPG, and 7.00 PER, which is quietly elite role-player stuff.

 

Rob had a rough shooting night (0.75 PPG on 7.14% FG) but contributed 1.25 APG, which is twice the league average.

 

Liam added 2.25 PPG and 1.75 RPG, contributing consistently.

 

They’re now back in the hunt and only 3 points behind ASHHF.

 

📊 Team Vegas Jays (4th Place — 16 Points)

 

The defending champs are fighting through inconsistency and potential season ending injuries, but Week 9 gave them a few bright spots.

 

Eric led the Jays with 5.33 PPG, near-league average shooting, and a strong 6.67 PER before ending the night with a foot injury.

Adrian played big: 2.4 PPG, but the highlight was 2.6 RPG, well above league average.

 

Jack didn’t score much but played disruptor with 0.4 SPG, 0.2 BPG.

AlanM contributed rebounds (1.25 RPG) in limited touches.

Ka Ming pulled down 3 RPG with a nice 40% FG — quietly one of their most efficient players.

 

Still, the Jays slide to 14W 22L, and they’ll need a spark to reclaim their identity.

 

📊 Lulu Legends (5th Place — 12 Points)

 

The Legends continue to trend downward, but there were encouraging signs.

 

Mike was the lone offensive engine: 6.25 PPG on 37.5% FG, both above league average. His 8.81 PER was team-best.

 

Jason shot 63.64% (best of any player with more than 2 attempts) and dropped 3.5 PPG, 1.5 RPG, with a strong 7.25 PER.

 

Vlade quietly stuffed the box score: 3.5 RPG, 0.5 SPG, 0.25 BPG, and a strong 6.00 PER.

Calvin finished with 1.33 PPG and 2 RPG, contributing depth.

Jerry, Tonia, and Owen all logged DNP-level stat lines, but we know they’ll bounce back next week.

 

The Legends now sit at 13W 23L, but their top players still look dangerous — they just need a full roster week.

 

🏅 MVP of the Night — Johnny (15.50 PER)

 

Johnny played like he woke up and chose violence. This was the most aggressive, impactful, “I refuse to lose” performance of Season 6.

 

When your PER nearly triples the league average, you didn’t just have a good night — you altered the landscape.

 

🔥 Final Thoughts

 

Week 9 gave us:

 

A tightening middle of the standings

 

A dominant MVP performance

 

Strong role-player contributions

 

Some hilarious shooting nights

 

A legitimate playoff-quality battle between the top three teams

 

Through it all, Breads & Beers keeps the #1 spot, but ASHHF, Low & Go, and the Jays are all circling — and Lulu has enough firepower to crash someone's playoff dreams at any moment.

 

Bring on Week 10.

 

 


    RGBL / Nov 25 / S6 Week 8 - Game Recap

    🏀 RGAC Season 6 — Week 8 Recap (Nov 25) - The “Who Even Wants the #1 Seed Anyway?” 

    Week 8 rolled in like a bowl of lukewarm ramen — not flashy, but surprisingly satisfying once things got going. The standings shuffled again, Beer Bread Ballers kept acting like they’re speed running the season, and half the league shot under 32%… which, yes, is technically above the NBA’s “we don’t talk about that” threshold but still within RGAC charm territory. With a league average of 2.84 PPG and 31.92% FG, this week rewarded efficiency, decision-making, and in some cases… simply showing up.

     

    But as always, a few players rose above the statistical fog and reminded everyone why we love this wonderfully chaotic league.

     

    Beer Bread Ballers (22W–10L)

    The Ballers continue their march toward the regular-season crown, and once again it was Fisk, the human stat-magnet, leading the charge. His 5.75 PPG, 7.81 PER, and league-high 8.75 shots per game made him the gravitational center of the team’s offense. He also grabbed 4.25 rebounds, because apparently he’s now the unofficial center too.  But the MVP-level highlight came from Darren, quietly one of the most efficient players of the night. He put up 3.50 PPG on 58.3% shooting, plus a tidy 6.25 PER — nearly double the league average. That’s the kind of “no wasted movement” basketball coaches love.  Wyatt filled in the glue-guy role again: 2.25 PPG, 2.5 RPG, and a sneaky 1.0 SPG — well above the league average of 0.36 steals. Sunny and Justin chipped in with hustle stats and steady defensive work, doing the quiet things that help keep the Ballers on top.  This team continues to win because they get contributions from everyone. No passengers, no tourists — all workers.

     

    Adam Silver & His Happy Friends (16W–16L)

    ASHHF had one of their most balanced offensive weeks of the season, led by Johnny, JC, Leo, Alvin, and Don all contributing in different ways.  Johnny had a borderline All-Star night with 5.25 PPG, 33% shooting from deep, and an impressive 10.44 PER, nearly double the league average. He played like he had something to prove — or maybe he saw Leo warming up and decided, “No way I’m letting him get all the shots today.”  JC continued his all-around excellence with 4.75 PPG on a blistering 50% FG and a strong 9.44 PER. He's become basically the “do everything at a high level” SG archetype.  Leo had one of the more chaotic stat lines of the night: 4.25 PPG, launching 5.75 shots with confidence and bringing in 1.5 RPG. Not the most efficient night, but effort stayed high and he still produced above average scoring.  Don quietly delivered one of the strongest efficiency nights of the week: 3.00 PPG on 60% shooting, plus 2 RPG. A 7.50 PER easily clears the 5.43 league average — classic PF lunch-pail performance.  Alvin had a quieter night statistically but contributed with rebounding and steady defensive positioning.  ASHHF continues to float around .500, but with their depth and shot-creation, they’re the one team no one wants to see on a hot night.

     

    Vegas Jays (14W–18L)

    The defending champs had a roller coaster night — but oh boy, Jay turned the entire gym into his personal practice court.  He dropped 7.00 PPG, hit 57.1% from three, and posted the MVP-winning 13.63 PER — one of the highest single-week PERs of the season. This was “championship DNA” reminded to everyone in attendance.  With Mike and JC tearing it up in the past, Jay made it clear: “Hey, remember me?” And yes Jay, we do now.  Jack had a solid night with 3.67 PPG and a 4.42 PER. Adrian tossed in 4.00 PPG, though on tougher shooting splits. Ka Ming had one of his better rebounding nights (4.0 RPG), nearly doubling the league average of 1.83 boards per game.  This team may be hovering near the middle of the standings, but their top-end talent is still championship-tier. Don’t count them out.

     

    Low & Go (16W–16L)

    Low & Go are officially the most unpredictable team in the league. One week they break records, next week they struggle to find rhythm — but this week, they had bright spots everywhere.  Liam continued his breakout season with 5.50 PPG on 43.48% shooting and an outstanding 8.81 PER, well above league average. He’s quietly becoming their most important offensive piece.  Jo had another strong week as well: 3.50 PPG and a massive 4.25 RPG — tied for second among all players — good for an 11.44 PER. Jo continues to be their consistent heartbeat.  Danny added 2.25 PPG with a bit of shooting mixed in. Jeremy contributed defensively with a 1.50 TOPG forced and knocked down the OT game winning 3 point shot.  Low & Go are hanging in the standings battle, and with Jo and Liam playing like this, they’re absolutely capable of a late run.

     

    Lulu Legends (12W–20L)

    The Legends had a tough week, but the trio of Mike, Jason, and Owen kept them competitive.  Mike was sensational — 5.75 PPG, 32% FG, and a very strong 11.25 PER. His 2.00 APG also smashed the league average of 0.56, showing why he’s still one of the most dangerous playmakers in RGAC.  Jason had a hyper-efficient night: 4.00 PPG on 60% shooting and a 7.58 PER. When he's attacking, Lulu Legends look like a different team.  Owen added 3.25 PPG with steady shooting and rebounding.  Calvin quietly put together a solid statline too: 2.0 PPG, 1.67 RPG, and above-average efficiency.  Vlade had a quieter night, but played their role defensively and helped spacing and rotations.  The Legends may be stuck at the bottom of the standings, but with Mike and Jason heating up, this team is way more dangerous than their record implies.

     

    MVP of Week 8 — Jay (Vegas Jays)

    7.00 PPG | 50% FG | 57.1% from 3 | 3 RPG | 1 SPG | 13.63 PER

     

    This wasn’t just good — this was “the league forgot I’m a champion, time to remind them” energy. Jay owned the night from deep, played physical, made smart decisions, and delivered a performance worthy of the Week 8 crown.

     

     

     


      RGBL / Nov 18 / S6 Week 7 - Game Recap

      🏀 RGAC Season 6 — Week 7 Recap (Nov 18) - "The Rise of PER Monster"

       

      A night of surprise heaters, quiet assassins, and one PER monster named Fisk.

       

      The season is entering its late arc now — that point in the story where every team knows who they are… or at least thinks they know. But Week 7 tossed a few curveballs (basketballs?) at all of us. League-wide efficiency ticked up slightly from the usual chaos, and a few players decided to write new chapters in their character arcs.

       

      League Averages this week:

      PPG 2.47 | FG% 33.79% | APG 0.57 | RPG 1.69 | SPG 0.30 | BPG 0.09 | TO 0.55 | PER 4.83

       

      And standing atop the mountain again was Fisk, dropping a 14.69 PER — nearly triple the league average. A PER like that in RGBL is basically a triple-double in the NBA.

       

      Let’s jump in.

       

      🍺 TEAM BEER BREAD BALLERS (1st Place — 19 Season Points)

       

      “The consistency kings.”  The Ballers didn’t need theatrics — they just showed up and cooked and finished top spot in Week 7 with 4W0L again.

       

      ⭐ Fisk — MVP of the Night

      7 PPG on 50% FG, 4 RPG, 2 AST, 0.5 STL, 0.5 BLK, 14.69 PER

      Fisk continues his “I’m him” arc. Efficient scoring, defensive activity, rebounding, playmaking — if this were a video game, he’d have the little flame icon under his player. He outperformed the league PER average by a mile and anchored everything the Ballers did.

       

      Sunny — Silent Impact

      3.25 PPG on 45.45% FG, 3 RPG, 1 AST, 9.31 PER

      When Sunny is efficient, the Ballers’ offense looks smooth. He hit all his 3PT attempts (1/1), posted solid rebounding numbers, and played within the system — reliable glue-guy stuff.

       

      Wyatt — Steady Support

      3 PPG, 3.25 RPG, 46.15% FG

      Wyatt wasn’t flashy, but he rebounded at nearly double league average and provided important possessions.

       

      Justin — Chaotic Energy, Productive Energy

      1.25 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 4.25 TO but 6.31 PER thanks to activity everywhere else

      You cannot accuse Justin of not doing things. Good things? Debatable. But things? Always.

       

      This team continues to win through depth, effort, and system.

       

      🎰 TEAM VEGAS JAYS (2nd Place — 16 Season Points)

       

      “The rollercoaster continues… but they’re still strapped in.”

       

      The Jays played one of their more balanced games of the season — no one exploded, but nobody completely disappeared either.

       

      Eric — The Finisher

      4.0 PPG, 60% 2PT and sneaky 3PT shooters.

      When Eric gets hot, the whole offense breathes. Only if he gets hot.

       

      Ka Ming — Efficiency King… on light volume

      1.75 PPG on 60% FG, 1.5 RPG, 3.5 PER

      Not a huge scoring night, but extremely clean shot selection.

       

      Jay — Mr. Steady

      3 PPG on 50% FG, 3 RPG, 5.33 PER

      Jay does the small things right and rarely forces anything.

       

      Adrian, Jack, AlanM

      A quieter night for this group statistically, but the Jays remain one of the few teams whose role players always stay within themselves. They don’t self-sabotage, they don’t implode — they just keep it together.

       

      🧔 TEAM ADAM SILVER & HIS HAPPY FRIENDS (3rd Place — 14 Season Points)

       

      “The team with the best vibes and the most unpredictable score charts.”

       

      ASHHF had a night of mini-surges from multiple players, with strong guard play leading the way.

       

      Johnny — Stat Sheet Storyteller

      2.25 PPG, 3.75 RPG, 7.0 PER

      A little scoring, a lot of rebounding, some playmaking — Johnny filled gaps on a night where ASHHF needed it.

       

      Leo — The High-Volume Gunner

      3.5 PPG, 6 shots, 25% FG, 5.69 PER

      League average FG% is 33.79%, so Leo wasn’t far off. He played aggressively — and honestly, this team needs him to.

       

      JC — The Quiet Efficient One

      2.75 PPG on 44.44% FG, 1.5 RPG, 4.38 PER

      Good efficiency, good decisions, and solid steals. JC rarely has a “bad” game.

       

      Don & Alvin — Role Player Spotlight

      Both had low counting stats, but contributed defensive rotations, physicality, and didn’t commit many turnovers. Nights like that help ASHHF avoid chaos.

       

      ASHHF is still right in the playoff mix and getting more cohesive each week.

       

      🛺 LOW & GO (4th Place — 11 Season Points)

       

      “The team that refuses to stay down.”

       

      Low & Go had one of their better overall statistical nights of the season — multiple players beat league averages.

       

      Jeremy — Breakout Night

      4 PPG, 50% FG, 1.25 RPG, 8.75 PER

      Massive jump from his season norms. Efficient scoring + defense + rebounding = great night.

       

      Danny — Reliable Spark

      3.75 PPG, 37.5% FG, 1.5 RPG, 6.31 PER

      Danny has become one of Low & Go’s most consistent pieces.

       

      Johan (Jo) — Another Strong Outing

      3 PPG on 50%, 1 RPG, 5.0 PER

      Solid and steady.

       

      Rob — Underrated Two-Way Guy

      3.25 PPG, 0.75 RPG, 5.06 PER

      His shooting from deep helps stretch defenses when Low & Go bogs down.

       

      Liam & Kevin

      Lower scoring nights, but both contributed hustle plays and didn’t sink possessions. Liam’s 1.75 rebounds is above league average.

       

      Low & Go is trending upward quietly… like a subplot that’s about to get important.

       

      🧙‍♂️ LULU LEGENDS (5th Place — 10 Season Points)

       

      “The league’s most mysterious team.”

       

      Some weeks they look unstoppable. Other weeks… they look like they’re thinking about dinner plans.

       

      This was a middle-ground week.

       

      Owen & Mike — The Two-Man Engine

      Owen: 5.5 PPG on 52.9% FG, 8.0 PER

      Mike: 3 PPG, 4.56 PER, 2.5 AST (league average APG is 0.57 — Mike quadrupled it)

      These two continue to carry the offensive burden.

       

      Vlade — Perfect Night Alert

      3.33 PPG, 100% from 2, 66.7% from 3, 9.92 PER

      Yes — perfect from 2PT and hyper-efficient overall. MVP-tier efficiency.

       

      Tonia — Role Player Highlight

      1.67 PPG, 1.67 RPG, 4.67 PER

      A really strong showing for someone who doesn’t always get touches.

       

      Jason — The Steady Contributor

      2.5 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 6.81 PER

      When Jason plays well, Lulu’s floor rises.

       

      Jerry

      Absent this week (0 stats). No storyline twist there.  But rumor saying the team purposely resting him until playoff to deploy him with full strength.

       

      Lulu has weapons — they just need everyone synced at the same time.

       

      🏆 MVP OF THE NIGHT — FISK

      A monster 14.69 PER, elite efficiency, rebounds, playmaking, and defensive action.

      That’s franchise-player stuff in RGBL terms.

       

      Final Thoughts

       

      Week 7 delivered:

       

      Strong performances from unexpected places (Jeremy, Vlade).  A “business as usual” showing from the Ballers (and Fisk the Destroyer).  Competitive games across all matchups.  Lots of players beating league averages in key categories.

       

      As we enter the late stages of Season 6, the standings are tight, the storylines are blossoming, and the characters are developing nicely. Exactly the kind of chaos we love.

       

       

       

       


        RGBL / Nov 11 / S6 Week 6 - Game Recap

        🏀 RGAC - Season 6 – Week 6 Recap (Nov 11, 2025) - “Midseason Madness: The Rise of the Rebounders”

         

        Week 6 dropped us into that classic midseason stretch where legs get tired, shooting percentages start wobbling, and teams begin discovering who they really are. With a league-wide FG% of 30.97%, the basketball gods clearly tightened the rims, but the effort was there — bodies diving, hands swiping, rebounds being fought over like someone dropped a $20 bill on the court.

         

        And while offense across the league dipped, one thing did not: the chaos.

         

        Let’s talk about it.

         

        🎰 Vegas Jays – The Champs Don’t Panic

        The defending champs continue to look… like defending champs. Not flashy, but methodical.  Despite team's captain, Jay, forced to sit out due to ankle injury and PF Alan was a late scratched, rest of the team stepped up.  Ka Ming put on a rebounding clinic with 5.75 RPG, more than double the league average. He added 4 PPG, 1 SPG, and 1 BPG — elite all-around activity.  Eric followed up last week’s MVP with a steady 3 PPG, 2 RPG, and a 6.44 PER, keeping them stable.  Adrian and Jack all had quieter scoring nights, but they moved the ball, played defense, and made the little winning plays that never make the headlines but always make a difference.

         

        And with another 2–2 night, the Jays hold first place by point differential. Stability is their superpower.

         

        🍞 Beers Ballers – Carbs = Power

        The ballers were without the Baker Wyatt in Week 6 who nursing his tired hairy legs after standing next to the oven 10+ hours per day for week, but got their leader, Fisk, back after fueling himself with lots of beers.  After missing Week 5, Fisk's performance in Week 6 reminded everyone why he’s one of the league’s premier stat-sheet poets. Not only did he dominate with a 15.06 PER, he dropped 7.25 PPG on 55% FG, adding 3 RPG and sneaky defensive pressure. He didn’t just meet the league average — he dusted it, packaged it, and sent it back with express shipping.

         

        Darren had his best game of the season with 4 PPG on 42% FG, plus 2 rebounds and an assist.  Team Captain, Sunny added 2.5 PPG on 45% FG, proving he might be the most efficient “quiet contributor” in the RGBL Season 6.  Justin grabbed 4.75 rebounds, nearly doubling the league average of 2.27. Big man work.

         

        Despite the lack of breads, the Beer Ballers still staying strong and now second in the standings — and rising fast.

         

        😄 ASHHF – Grinding Their Way Forward

        This week wasn’t explosive for ASHHF, but it was earned through grit.  JC delivered yet another above-average outing with 4 PPG on 40% FG, 2 RPG, and a 6.56 PER, comfortably beating league norms.  Johnny didn’t score much but was a monster on the glass with 3.75 RPG, one of the highest totals of the day.  Don added 2.25 rebounds and Alvin contributed scoring, defense, and played within the system.  G-League MVP, William gave them solid rotation minutes, fighting for boards and spacing the floor.

         

        ASHHF didn’t dominate anything — except consistency. And that’s why they stay firmly in third place.

         

        ⬆️ Low & Go – Slowly Heating Up

        Low & Go showed real momentum this week thanks to Jo, who continues making a serious case for “best late-round gem of Season 6.”  Jo posted 4.75 PPG on 53% FG, 2.25 RPG, and an impressive 8.94 PER, one of the top stat lines of the week.  Jeremy shot 12.5% and Rob added 3 PPG, 1 APG, and a steal.  Danny and Johan both battled on the boards, helping L&G stay competitive even with tough shooting luck.  Kevin fought for rebounds and defended bigger players effectively.  They’re still fourth in the standings — but definitely trending upward.

         

        💡 Lulu Legends – Finding the Spark

        Lulu may sit at the bottom this week, but they produced one of the most electric individual games of the night.  Owen lit it up with 6.25 PPG on 62.5% FG and 62.5% from deep, finishing with a huge 12.13 PER, the second-highest of the night.  If that shooting form stays? They’re climbing fast.

        Mike put together a strong all-around game: 3.75 PPG, 2.25 RPG, and solid defense.  Vlade shot 60% FG, Jason played tough interior defense with 3 RPG.  The Legends aren’t lacking talent — just consistency. But the spark is clearly still there.

         

        🏆 MVP of the Night – FISK

        15.06 PER | 7.25 PPG | 55% FG | 3 RPG

        Another week, another MVP contender performance. Efficiency, scoring, leadership — everything you want in a franchise player.

         

        Final Thoughts

        Week 6 reminded us that not every game needs fireworks; sometimes the story is in the hustle stats — the rebounds, the blocks, the 50–50 balls that change momentum. And this week, even with the league shooting percentage down, the competitiveness was up.

         

        The standings are tightening. The roles are solidifying. And the mid-season energy is officially here.

         

        Can't wait for Week 7 — things are about to get dramatic.

         

         

         


          RGBL / Nov 4 / S6 Week 5 - Game Recap

          🏀 RGAC Season 6 – Week 5 Recap (Nov 4, 2025) - “The Rise of ASHHF”

           

          Things are heating up like a Friday night at Chase Center. Adam Silver and His Happy Friends (ASHHF) have surged to the top spot with a 13–7 record and a league-best +64 point differential, proving that consistency and camaraderie beat chaos (most of the time). The defending champs, Vegas Jays, are hot on their tail at 11–9, while the Beer Bread Ballers have kneaded out an identical record but trail by point differential. Low & Go and Lulu Legends round out the standings — still looking to piece together a run before the playoff picture hardens like week-old sourdough.

           

          The league average this week clocked in at 2.77 PPG on 35.01% FG, with 0.6 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and a 5.47 PER — the perfect benchmark to separate the heroes from the “he tried his best” club.

           

          🏆 Team Adam Silver and His Happy Friends (ASHHF)

          The Happy Friends are very happy this week — and they should be. JC put on another clinic with 4.75 PPG on 42.9% FG and a 10.00 PER, anchoring the team’s balanced attack. Johnny backed him up beautifully with 3.5 PPG, 4.25 RPG, and a 9.94 PER, staying as steady as ever on both ends. And then there’s Don with his prayer, who flexed his efficiency badge with 5.0 PPG on 50% FG — proving that when he shoots, it counts. Even Leo dropped a smooth 6.25 PPG and 41% from deep, solidifying ASHHF’s shooting credentials. With this combination of efficiency, rebounding, chemistry, G-League MVP William suited  up to play and lastly team's long range shooter Johnny Crash no longer rolling on the floor or limping off the court, it’s no wonder they’ve taken the league’s top spot.

           

          🎯 Team Vegas Jays

          The defending champs are doing what champs do — staying relevant, staying dangerous. Eric was an offensive spark plug again, putting up 6.25 PPG and a strong 8.50 PER, showing he’s still one of the most dynamic scorers in RGAC. Ka Ming also continued his impressive all-around play with 2.25 PPG, 2.25 RPG, and a 6.38 PER, quietly making winning plays. And Jack chipped in with 1.25 PPG and 2.25 RPG, doing the little things that don’t always make the stat sheet but help the Jays fly. They’re finding their groove again — and everyone knows you can’t sleep on a team with championship DNA.

           

          🍞 Team Beer Bread Ballers

          The Ballers may have had some rough shooting nights, but you can’t deny their effort. Justin brought in a solid 3.0 RPG and 6.56 PER, while Wyatt and Darren each continued to grind, adding rebounds and hustle in spades. Unfortunately, Fisk took a rare week off — perhaps saving the oven heat for next game. The squad still sits near the top of the standings, and if their shots start falling, they could easily reclaim first place.

           

          🪄 Team Lulu Legends

          The Legends showed flashes of their namesake this week — especially from Mike, who led the team with 6.5 PPG and a strong 9.38 PER. Owen added 4.0 PPG and 1.0 SPG, keeping his sniper rep alive even if his shot chart looked more “abstract art” than “bullseye.” And let’s not overlook Vlade, who quietly posted 1.5 PPG on 60% FG — talk about picking your spots wisely. The team’s chemistry is still in the oven, but if they find their rhythm ONLY if they find it, they could surprise everyone down the stretch.

           

          🧗 Team Low & Go

          Despite sitting lower in the standings, Low & Go showed heart (and humor) this week. Liam led the way with 5.25 PPG on 52.6% FG and an 8.38 PER, while Rob was once again a steady contributor with 3.0 PPG on 41.7% shooting and 2.0 RPG. Danny continued to hustle, even if the ball had other plans (let’s just say the rim wasn’t kind). And Kevin, in limited action, went a perfect 1-for-1 to post a 100% FG — flawless efficiency, we’ll take it!  But the team bounced back from a bad Week 4 and finished Week 5 as 2nd place with 3 points thanks to.... 🌟 The night’s MVP, Jo, stole the show with 6.0 PPG on 58.8% FG and a 14.88 PER, leading all players. Whether it was filling lanes or splashing shots, Jo looked like he’d been in the league all season long — instant chemistry, instant impact.

           

          🏁 Final Thoughts

          Five weeks in, and we’re starting to see each team’s identity crystalize. ASHHF is looking like a well-oiled veteran group; the Vegas Jays are reloading for another title run; and the Beer Bread Ballers are baking their way back into form. Lulu Legends and Low & Go may be under .500, but their players continue to put up individual gems that make every week unpredictable — and that’s what makes RGAC basketball great.

           

          Next week, expect the playoff picture to tighten, the PERs to rise, and at least one player to shoot 0-for-8 and still claim “I was just facilitating.”

           

           

           


            RGBL / Oct 28 / S6 Week 4 - Game Recap

            🏀 RGAC Season 6 – Week 4 Recap (Oct 28) — “Wyatt’s Redemption Arc & Fisk’s Masterclass”

            Four weeks into the new season, the RGBL hardwood is heating up faster than a court without A/C. The standings are starting to take shape — the defending champs Vegas Jays look steady up top, Beer Bread Ballers are baking wins like it’s Sunday morning, and ASHHF are quietly piecing together another title run. Meanwhile, Lulu Legends and Low & Go are still trying to find their rhythm — think of it like syncing Bluetooth: frustrating, but eventually it’ll connect.

             

            🎰 Vegas Jays (9W–7L | +53 PD)

            The champs are back in form. Adrian and Eric formed a deadly one-two punch — Adrian’s 5.5 PPG on 47.8% FG and Eric’s 5 PPG with 43.8% FG (including 46% from deep) gave the Jays the spark they needed. When your guards are shooting like that, it’s game over for most teams. AllanM continued to shine in the hustle department with 2.75 RPG and a solid 7.25 PER, while Jack provided gritty defense and rebounds despite limited offense. The key takeaway? Vegas’ offense is waking up, and their confidence is starting to look dangerously familiar to last season’s championship swagger.

             

            🍞 Beer Bread Ballers (11W–5L | +25 PD)

            You can’t spell “Ballers” without “Fisk,” and this week, he baked a stat line so good it should’ve come with frosting: 8.75 PPG on 53.6% FG, 4 RPG, and a league-best 19.69 PER. That’s MVP material — efficient, dominant, and zero turnovers. Wyatt wasn’t far behind, putting up 6 PPG on 60% shooting, plus a team-high 1.5 steals per game, proving that when his jumper’s on, the team runs smoother than butter on toast. Darren also chipped in with 5.5 PPG at 50% shooting, and Justin did his part with rebounds and hustle plays that don’t always show in the box score but matter on the floor. Even Sunny and Denny added quiet support — the kind of glue guys every championship squad needs. The Ballers are rolling, and at 11–5, they’re the team to beat.

             

            🧠 Adam Silver and His Happy Friends (9W–7L | +38 PD)

            The “Happy Friends” are starting to look more like a playoff threat than a comedy troupe. Johnny was all business this week — 6.25 PPG, 41.7% FG, and 12.06 PER, leading ASHHF with confident midrange jumpers and veteran poise. Leo followed with 6 PPG on 37% shooting, contributing balanced playmaking and defense. JC was the steady hand with 3 PPG, 1.25 APG, and an 8 PER, while Don quietly dominated the glass (2.75 RPG) and provided inside scoring. The supporting cast of Alvin and William might not light up the stat sheet, but they do what’s needed — set screens, contest shots, and bring the energy. ASHHF sits in the mix, ready to make a push toward the top.

             

            👑 Lulu Legends (6W–10L | -48 PD)

            A rough week on paper, but there were bright spots for the Legends. Mike led the team again with 4.67 PPG, 4 RPG, and 9.33 PER, proving that he’s their engine on both ends. Vlade continued his steady play with 2.67 PPG on 43% FG and 9 PER, while Jason provided consistency across the board — 3 PPG, 2 RPG, and 6.67 PER. Calvin added 3 boards and a few key passes, while Owen and Tonia tried to find rhythm in limited touches. The Legends may not be winning much yet, but they’ve got the pieces — it’s just about syncing them into something more legendary.

             

            ⬇️ Low & Go (5W–11L | -68 PD)

            Low & Go’s season so far feels like a roller coaster — thrilling highs, rough drops. Liam continued to be their most reliable option, putting up 4 PPG with his usual effort on the glass. Rob added 3.25 PPG, though his 22% FG clip tells the story of a team still searching for scoring consistency. Jeremy (2 PPG) brought energy and effort, even if the shots didn’t fall, and Danny continues to be the defensive glue. The silver lining? They’re competing — and in this league, effort counts just as much as points.

             

            🏆 League Notes

            This week’s league averages — 3.13 PPG, 33.1% FG, 0.61 APG, 2.04 RPG, 0.4 SPG, 0.08 BPG, and 6.37 PER — paint a picture of balance and defense across the board. Scoring was down slightly, but effort and rebounding were up — the kind of gritty basketball that separates contenders from pretenders.

             

            🎖️ Player of the Night: Fisk (Beer Bread Ballers)

            8.75 PPG | 53.6% FG | 4 RPG | 19.69 PER

            Fisk’s performance wasn’t just elite for the week — it was a statement. Efficient scoring, rebounding, and leadership made him the clear-cut MVP, leading the Ballers to another top-tier week.

             

            Final Thought:

            Four weeks in, we’ve got a league that’s as unpredictable as ever. Vegas and ASHHF look poised for another deep run, Beer Bread Ballers are sizzling, and the rest of the pack is hungry. With half the season still ahead, there’s plenty of time for redemption, surprises, and maybe a few highlight reels that make it to someone’s Instagram story (with the wrong tag, of course).

             

             

             


              RGBL / Oct 21 / S6 Week 3 - Game Recap

              🏀 RGAC Season 6 – Week 3 Recap (Oct 21, 2025): “The Shuffle at the Top”

              Three weeks in, and the league standings look like a game of musical chairs — nobody’s sitting still for long. The defending champs, Vegas Jays, have clawed their way back to the top at 6W–6L (+32 PD), reminding everyone why they’re still the team to beat. Meanwhile, Adam Silver and His Happy Friends (ASHHF) and the Beer Bread Ballers are right behind at 7W–5L, both hungry and within a single bounce of first place. It’s shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons we’ve seen yet — a mix of redemption arcs, breakout stories, and classic RGAC chaos.

               

              🎯 Vegas Jays: The Champs Start Cooking Again

              The Jays looked locked in this week, led by none other than Eric, who decided to remind the league who he is. He dropped 7.33 PPG on 53% shooting with an eye-popping 14.58 PER, easily making him MVP of the Night. He looked calm, confident, and borderline surgical from beyond the arc (46% from deep). Jay chipped in with 4.25 PPG and hit his own share of clutch threes, while Ka Ming quietly stuffed the stat sheet with 4 points, 46% FG, and 1 steal — the kind of effort that doesn’t always make headlines but wins games. Adrian and Jack were their usual steady selves, cleaning up rebounds and doing the dirty work that keeps Vegas humming. The champs are back in rhythm, and it’s starting to look scary for everyone else.

               

              🏀 ASHHF: Team Chemistry Brewing

              ASHHF might not always score the prettiest buckets, but they’re finding ways to win. Leo looked like a man on a mission, torching defenders for 8.25 PPG on 52% shooting, a number that absolutely dwarfs the league’s average of 2.74 PPG and 32.9% FG. When he gets rolling, it feels like ASHHF suddenly becomes a well-oiled scoring machine. JC backed him up with 5 PPG and a tidy 8.58 PER, while Don continued his “Efficiency King” campaign, hitting an absurd 62.5% of his shots. Johnny hustled his way to 3.75 rebounds and 1.25 assists, doing the little things that glue this team together. Throw in Alvin’s 5 rebounds and solid defense and RGBL fans favorite G-League MVP Will-IAM finally suit up, you’ve got a team that’s quietly becoming a contender.

               

              🍞 Beer Bread Ballers: Grinding Through the Dough

              The Ballers continue to live up to their name — tough, warm, and maybe just a little crusty when the shots don’t fall. Fisk remains their anchor, pouring in 6.25 PPG on 44% shooting, keeping them afloat offensively. Justin grabbed 4.25 rebounds, Wyatt hustled for extra possessions, and Sunny brought energy in the paint. This team doesn’t blow opponents out; they wear them down. And like any good loaf of beer bread — the longer you leave it in the oven, the better it gets.

               

              🌀 Low & Go: The Gritty Underdogs

              Low & Go may be 5W–7L, but there’s fight in this squad. Liam is heating up, scoring 5 PPG on a crisp 54% FG, and Danny showed signs of life with 3 PPG on 40% shooting. Rob kept the offense moving with 1.25 APG, while Johan and Jeremy continue to find their rhythm. The results aren’t all there yet, but there’s a sense that this group is one good week away from turning the corner. Think of them as that team nobody wants to play when they’re locked in — scrappy, unpredictable, and ready to ruin someone’s night.

               

              👑 Lulu Legends: Trying to Reignite the Magic

              It’s been a rocky start for the Legends, but there’s a spark. Owen was the highlight this week, dropping 6 PPG while shooting a blistering 67% from three — basically Steph Curry numbers in RGBL terms. Mike added 2.33 PPG and 3 boards, Jason did a bit of everything, and Jerry quietly had one of his best games of the season, scoring 4 PPG on 50% FG. They’re still struggling to string wins together, but when the Legends click, they look like a team with real depth. The only thing missing right now might be some luck — and a few more open jumpers.

               

              📊 League Snapshot

              League averages this week: 2.74 PPG, 32.9% FG, 0.59 APG, 1.83 RPG, 0.29 SPG, 0.08 BPG, PER: 5.52

              Anyone scoring over 5 PPG or shooting above 45% deserves a gold star and maybe a postgame interview. Those who aren’t — don’t worry, you’re just building character (and shot selection awareness).

               

              🧩 The Big Picture

              After Week 3, there’s no runaway favorite. The Vegas Jays have momentum, ASHHF is steadily improving, Beer Bread Ballers remain the reliable grinder team, and Low & Go plus Lulu Legends are hanging close enough to make things interesting. Every team has shown flashes of brilliance — and with how close the standings are, it feels like the real drama is just getting started.

               

              As we roll into Week 4, expect more clutch performances, more unexpected heroes, and maybe — just maybe — a few more made layups.

               


                RGBL / Oct 14 / S6 Week 2 - Game Recap

                🏀RGAC Season 6 – Week 2 Recap: “Early Season Chaos, Familiar Faces Rising”

                 

                The dust is starting to settle, but the league standings look like a group project where no one read the instructions. Three teams — Vegas Jays, Lulu Legends, and ASHHF — are deadlocked at 4–4, while the Beer Bread Ballers hold a slight edge at 5–3, and Low & Go trail at 3–5 but are still very much in the mix. It’s only Week 2, and yet, everyone’s already acting like playoff positioning matters (it doesn’t — yet).

                 

                League averages this week: 2.73 PPG, 34% FG, 0.41 APG, 2.03 RPG, 0.27 SPG, 0.07 BPG, and 5.16 PER. If you scored more than 3 points or shot above 40%, congratulations — you had an elite week by RGAC standards.

                 

                🥖 Beer Bread Ballers – “Rising Like Yeast”

                 

                Still on top of the standings at 5–3, the Ballers are proving that chemistry matters. Fisk continues to be the team’s anchor and MVP candidate of the early season, averaging 5.5 PPG on 34.6% FG, 1.5 APG, and 2.75 RPG, good for an 11.44 PER — miles above the league average of 5.16. He’s basically the sourdough starter of this squad: feeds everyone else and never misses a week.

                 

                Darren chipped in 3.5 PPG on 38.9% FG, while Wyatt (1.75 PPG, 23.1% FG) and Justin (1 PPG, 22.2% FG) did just enough to keep the team afloat. Meanwhile, Sunny played like a man trying to remember what a basketball feels like, scoring 1 PPG on 22.2% FG. Despite that, the Ballers continue to rise, not fall — much like their team name suggests.

                 

                🎰 Vegas Jays – “Defending Champs Warming Up”

                 

                The reigning Season 5 champs are starting to find their rhythm, climbing to 4–4. Jay led the charge with 4.25 PPG on 27.3% FG, boosted by solid 3-point shooting (31.3%) — proof that volume sometimes beats precision. Jack was the picture of balance (3.25 PPG, 33% FG, 3 RPG, 7.31 PER), while Ka Ming quietly stuffed the stat sheet (2.5 PPG, 33% FG, 2.75 RPG, 8.75 PER), showcasing elite rebounding effort.

                 

                And then there’s Eric, Mr. Consistency, putting up 3 PPG, 25% FG, 1 APG, and 1.5 RPG. It’s not flashy, but he’s clearly ramping up. The Jays’ early-season pattern? Lose one, win one, scare everyone in the third quarter. Classic defending champion pacing.

                 

                🍜 Lulu Legends – “Balanced, But Looking for a Star”

                 

                The Legends are hanging around .500, sitting at 4–4, with production spread across their deep roster. Mike was their steady engine, posting 4.75 PPG on 33% FG, 1 APG, and 4.25 RPG, good for a 10.56 PER — elite by this week’s standards. Jerry added 3 PPG on 54.5% FG, showing off midrange mastery rarely seen in this league.

                 

                Vlade stayed solid (1.75 PPG, 33% FG, 2.25 RPG), while Tonia (1.6 RPG, 0.4 TOPG) continues to bring defensive energy and positive vibes — both vital for team morale. The Legends don’t rely on one player, but sometimes that’s the problem; no one’s quite taken the wheel yet.

                 

                🦾 Adam Silver & His Happy Friends – “JC and the Carry Crew”

                 

                ASHHF might be 4–4, but they’ve got something few teams can boast: an MVP front-runner. JC was unstoppable this week, dropping 5.33 PPG on 41% FG, 1 APG, 4.33 RPG, and a monstrous 12.08 PER — the highest in the league. He’s proving that efficiency isn’t dead, even in a league where most field goals come with an asterisk.

                 

                Johnny followed suit with 4.5 PPG at 36.4% FG and 2 RPG, staying above average in almost every category. Leo put up 4.75 PPG with 30.4% FG, mixing microwave scoring with streaky accuracy. Don quietly dominated his role — 3.5 PPG, 58.3% FG, 3.5 RPG, 9.63 PER — a blue-collar line that would make Adam Silver proud. If this team can tighten up their shot selection, they might just bake themselves into contention.

                 

                🧱 Low & Go – “Grinding in the Basement”

                 

                At 3–5, Low & Go are still searching for that spark. The team struggled to find rhythm this time. Danny worked hard on both ends (1 PPG, 14.3% FG, 2.5 RPG, 1.88 PER), while Rob found some efficiency, shooting 42.9% FG with 3.75 PPG.

                 

                Bright spot: Jeremy — one of the most consistent free agents in RGAC — dropped 3 PPG on 35.7% FG and 2.25 RPG, keeping his PER at a respectable 4.94. Low & Go may not be flying yet, but the foundation’s there — a few tweaks, and they could climb fast.

                 

                🏀 Final Thoughts

                 

                Through two weeks, parity reigns. No team looks unbeatable, and nearly everyone has a guy flirting with MVP-level numbers. JC’s brilliance set the tone, but Fisk, Mike, and Johnny are right behind him. As the season unfolds, one question lingers: will anyone separate themselves from this logjam of 4–4 teams, or are we headed for an RGAC season where every week feels like a tiebreaker?

                 

                One thing’s for sure — the ball is round, the shots are inconsistent, and the content is elite.

                 

                Week 2 MVP: JC (ASHHF) – 12.08 PER, 5.3 PPG, 41% FG, 4.3 RPG

                 


                  RGBL / Oct 7 / S6 Week 1 - Game Recap

                  🏀RGBL – Week 1, Season 6 Recap: “New Season, Same Shenanigans”

                  The Richmond Grizzlies at RGAC is back — new draft, new lineups, and the same chaos disguised as basketball. The offseason scouting clearly paid off for some (looking at you, Beer Bread Ballers), while others might still be updating their group chat name. Let’s dive into the first week of the season — where stats mattered, chemistry was tested, PERs were reborn and even... prayer to the Basketball God had happened.

                   

                  🍞 Beer Bread Ballers (3W–1L): Rise and Shine

                  The freshly baked Ballers wasted no time reminding everyone that carbs are good for you. Behind Fisk’s steady leadership (4.5 PPG on 40% FG, 7.31 PER) and Sunny’s efficient start (3 PPG on 43% FG), this team already looks like a top contender. Darren quietly chipped in 2 PPG and 1.75 RPG, playing like the human equivalent of sourdough — solid, dependable, and better with time. Even Justin’s shooting (16.7% FG) couldn’t dampen team spirits, though rumor has it his jump shot is still going through preseason conditioning.

                  Their 3–1 record shows early cohesion, with a healthy + FG% above the league average (33%) and a collective energy that says “we’re already playoff-ready.”

                   

                  🐉 Lulu Legends (2W–2L): Back on the Grind

                  It’s a familiar sight — the Legends in the middle of the pack, but this time they’re cooking something steady. Mike led the charge with 8.33 PPG (league-leading) and 40% FG, while Owen’s deadly 53.8% from deep made defenders rethink their life choices. Jason and Calvin brought balanced support, each contributing over 1 RPG, though Vlade’s quiet 0.5 PPG on 20% FG might have him questioning if the basket moved.

                  The Legends averaged above league norms in scoring (4.3 team PPG vs 2.84 league avg) and FG%, but consistency remains their final boss. Still, if Owen and Mike keep lighting it up, this team could easily climb to #1 next week.

                   

                  🎰 Vegas Jays (2W–2L): Rolling the Dice (and Hitting)

                  Vegas Jays, the defending champions, started their season like true gamblers — risky shots, high reward. Eric was electric with 6 PPG on 50% shooting and a sizzling 44% from three, setting the bar early for MVP contention (8.58 PER). Ka Ming added an efficient 4 PPG on 53% FG with a quiet 3 RPG — the definition of a steady bet. Meanwhile, Jay went full microwave mode, putting up 3.75 PPG on 37.5% FG while handling ball duties with 1.5 APG.

                  The team’s balanced output and defensive consistency (league-best 1.33 SPG) show that the Vegas Jays might have found their identity: less casino, more chemistry.

                   

                  🧑‍⚖️ Adam Silver & His Happy Friends (2W–2L): Not So Happy, But Still Hanging

                  The team enter the new season with fresh faces but familiar expectations. JC was the clear standout, putting up 5 PPG on 56% shooting with an elite 11.13 PER — well above the league average of 5.16. Johnny followed close behind (4.75 PPG, 50% FG), reminding everyone that he still has plenty left in the tank.

                  Leo’s stat line was pure chaos — 3.75 PPG on 0% 2PT FG but 55.6% from deep — which either makes him a genius or allergic to layups. Alvin quietly grabbed 1 RPG, while William’s DNP streak remains unbroken.

                  ASHHF shot a combined 39% FG, making them one of the more efficient squads of the week — they’re still waiting for their G-League MVP to suit up while try figuring out rhythm, but their floor is high, and their humor is higher.

                   

                  ⬇️ Low & Go (1W–3L): Still Searching for the Gas Pedal

                  Low & Go lived up to their name in Week 1 — low shooting, low wins, but plenty of go in spirit. Jeremy provided flashes with 37.5% FG and 3.33 PER, while Leo (from his previous team) energy seemed to have been missed. Danny shot 20% from the field but did find success from three (33%), and Liam’s 16% FG suggests he may still be calibrating his sights.

                  Bright spot? The team averaged 1.54 RPG per player (right at league average) and is still finding chemistry. Every slow start has a silver lining — and in this case, it’s that it can only go up from here.

                  🏀 Final Thoughts

                  Season 6 tipped off with promise and parody in equal measure. The Beer Bread Ballers look like the early favorites with team-wide efficiency, while the Lulu Legends and Vegas Jays proved they can keep pace. ASHHF remains the model of balanced basketball, and Low & Go… well, they’re laying the groundwork for a comeback story.

                   

                  Week 1 reminded us why Richmond Grizzlies Basketball exists — a mix of competitiveness, chaos, and camaraderie — and if these stats are any indication, this season’s just getting warmed up.

                   


                    RGAC / August 19 / S5 Playoff + Championship - Game Recap

                    🏀RGAC Playoff Recap – Season 5 Comes to a Close

                    The road to the champsionship.  And just like that, Season 5 wrapped up with the Vegas Jays crowned as champions, proving that sometimes shooting just a little better than average (and rebounding like you mean it) is all it takes to raise the trophy. It wasn’t always pretty, but it was competitive, and that’s exactly how playoff basketball is supposed to feel in the RGAC. Let’s dive into the performances that shaped the final standings.

                     

                    🏆The Champ – Vegas Jays 

                    Despite being the expansion team and short handed, with role player AlanM doing his Asia Tour, the Jays soared when it mattered most, balancing scrappy defense with just enough offense to outlast the field.

                    Jay walked away with Finals MVP, edging out teammate Eric with a well-rounded line: 8.5 PPG (league avg: 3.15), 38% FG (avg: 36%), and 6 RPG (avg: 2.06) for a 12.38 PER. He wasn’t flashy, but he was steady, and steady wins banners.  Eric was the real stat-sheet stuffer — 7 PPG, 1.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.5 RPG — capped by an 11.75 PER, comfortably triple the league average. Call him the Jays’ Swiss Army Knife. 

                    Ka Ming quietly played the efficiency game: 3 PPG on 67% shooting, 3 RPG, 9.25 PER. The kind of glue-guy stat line every championship team needs.  Adrian and Jack didn’t light up the scoreboard, but both grabbed boards above league average (4.5 and 2.5 RPG respectively), proving that rebounding wins playoff games too.

                    This was a team win, but Jay’s rebounding and Eric’s all-around game sealed it. Banner secured.

                     

                    2nd Place – Lulu Legends

                    After securing a ticket to the playoff after defeating the Richmond Crash Dummies in Play-OIn match, The Legends fought all the way to the finals , but efficiency (or lack thereof) was their Achilles heel.

                    Ted was their rock — 6.67 PPG (more than double the league average), 67% FG (elite), 3.67 RPG — good for a team-high 15 PER. His playoff run was worthy of MVP consideration.  The supporting cast struggled with accuracy: Mike (24% FG, 2.83 PER) and Owen (29% FG) put up buckets, but below efficiency benchmarks.

                    Vlade and Denny chipped in boards, but combined for just 1.34 PPG on 28% shooting.

                    The team could have used their Smiling Assassin Calvin for some buckets, but due to knee injury, Calvin was forced to sideline.

                    The Legends played hard, but ultimately, they leaned too heavily on Ted. One more hot hand, and the trophy might’ve been theirs.

                     

                    3rd Place – Low & Go

                    Consistency defined Low & Go’s run — but “consistent” isn’t always enough in the playoffs.  Don stood tall, leading the way with 5 PPG on a scorching 56% FG, well above the league’s shooting mark.  Danny chipped in 3.5 PPG, 38% FG, which is right around average, but grabbed just 1.5 boards compared to the league’s 2.06.

                    Leo had a rough night: 2 PPG on 18% FG and a -1.5 PER (yes, negative). At least he hustled for 4 RPG, doubling the league average.  Kaiser deserves a shout: 3 PPG on 50% FG and a 7 PER, quietly efficient.

                    Rob flew back on time with his private jet to avoid Air Canada strike, but still not enough.  The 2.5 APG (league avg: 0.6) makes him the floor general, but his 16% FG just not enough to get the team out of Round 1 knockout against the Vegas Jays' hot shooting.

                    Low & Go had balance, but not enough firepower to break through.

                     

                    4th Place – ASHHF (Adam Silver & Friends)

                    ASHHF’s regular season dominance didn’t translate to playoff glory, but there were bright spots.  JC led the squad with 6 PPG on 60% FG and an impressive 13.5 PER, one of the best individual performances of the night.  Fisk was steady as ever: 6.5 PPG (double the average), 38% FG, 10.75 PER. A playoff run in line with his regular season excellence.  Justin stuffed the defensive box score with 4 RPG, 1 SPG, 1 BPG — rare numbers in this league — on top of a 9.38 PER.

                    The rest of the squad struggled offensively: Wyatt, Kevin, and Tonia all sat below-average in scoring and efficiency.  ASHHF had flashes, but too many cold shooting nights left them stuck outside the finals picture.

                     

                    5th Place – Richmond Crash Dummies

                    The Dummies made some noice in the final few weeks but fell short in the Play-in match up against the Lulu Legends.  Jason was the bright spot: 6 PPG on 75% FG (well above league avg 36%), 1 SPG, and an 11 PER. Hyper-efficient in limited touches.  Sunny and Liam combined for just 4 points on poor shooting, while Johnny dished 2 assists and 2 boards but couldn’t buy a basket.  The team lived up to their name this playoff — a few good hits, but ultimately crashing out early.

                     

                    Final Thoughts

                    Season 5 ended the way rec leagues always do — with just enough stats to argue over in the group chat, and just enough missed layups to remind us this isn’t the NBA. The Vegas Jays take home the crown thanks to teamwork, Eric’s all-around grind, and Jay’s timely MVP performance. The Legends were one hot streak away, Low & Go stayed steady but short, ASHHF couldn’t turn regular season dominance into postseason magic, and the Crash Dummies never fully got rolling.

                     

                    The league average benchmarks (3.15 PPG, 36% FG, 2.06 RPG, 0.6 APG, 0.51 SPG) gave us a clear picture: anyone who doubled those numbers separated themselves from the pack. And with that, Season 5 closes with a new champion, some breakout names, and plenty of fuel for next season’s storylines.

                     


                      RGAC / August 12 / S5 Week 12 - Game Recap

                      🏀RGAC Week 12 Recap – The Calm Before the Playoff Storm

                      Week 12 felt a little like the episode before the season finale — the one where half the main characters mysteriously disappear from the script. A wave of DNPS or load management swept the league, with many stars apparently “resting” (read: saving their legs for the elimination games) or maybe just perfecting their sideline coaching skills. Still, the show went on, with enough on-court action to shuffle the standings and give us a few memorable performances.

                       

                      ASHHF – Still on Top

                      ASHHF closed the Season 5 regular season with a 27–21 record and a +48 point differential. Fisk’s MVP night aside in Week 12, the rest of the squad took it easy after knowing the team already captured the No.1 seed before next week playoff.  Wyatt chipped in 1.5 points and 1.25 assists, while Kevin’s 14% shooting kept scorekeepers alert but not overworked. Tonia quietly added 2 points at 40% from the field, just above the league’s average efficiency.

                       

                      Low & Go – Balanced but Bruised

                      Now sitting dead even at 24–24, Low & Go saw mixed results. Leo was the standout, dropping 4.75 PPG, 1.5 assists, and swiping the ball 0.5 times per game for a 9.63 PER, more than double the league average. Rob’s 41% shooting (league avg: 30%) and 4.5 PPG kept them competitive. Danny struggled to find the mark at 10% FG, but made up for it with some solid rebounding.  Low & Go finished 2nd and will face Vegas Jays (3rd place) in first round knockout playoff.

                       

                      Richmond Crash Dummies – The Dark Horse

                      The Crash Dummies finished the regular season at 20–28 (5th place), but the team seems to find their late groove and chemistry.  Johnny Crash looked like had turn back the clock with young legs — delivering 7.25 PPG on 50% shooting and a stellar 16.38 PER. Jason’s efficiency was even more eye-popping at 69% FG. Despite Liam and Sunny couldn’t get much going offensively, but they played solid role in their zone defense which hard to break.  The groundwork is set and if this team can synchronize for the playoffs, then may start upsetting the top seeded teams.

                       

                      Vegas Jays – Searching for Rhythm

                      The Jays struggled from the floor in Week 12 and finished the season at 3rd place — Jack shot just 8% (but did have 1 block per game, though league is under investigation of how he did it because too good to be true), while Jay managed 3.25 PPG on 24% shooting. Ka Ming brought his work on the boards with 3.75 RPG, but the squad will need a scoring spark next week to advance.

                       

                      Lulu Legends – Staying Dangerous

                      The Legends (26–22, +50) had a low-volume night, but Mike’s 4.5 PPG on 38% shooting kept them in striking distance. Calvin’s 2 PPG at 40% FG was right on pace with the league average. Denny and Vlad worked the boards while Owen chipped in a few points.  

                       

                      Free Agent Watch

                      Free agents made their presence felt — Allen impressed with 4.5 PPG on 64% FG and an 8.13 PER, Jeremy added 3.5 PPG with solid rebounding, and Jo grabbed 2.33 boards and Chris contributed on the defensive end.  They all build a nice resume for their own in Season 5 and already drawn interests from many team managers for next season draft.

                       

                      Standings Going Into Playoffs:

                      • ASHHF – 27W / 21L / +48 PD
                      • Low & Go – 24W / 24L / -18 PD
                      • Vegas Jays – 24W / 24L / -28 PD
                      • Lulu Legends – 26W / 22L / +50 PD
                      • Richmond Crash Dummies – 20W / 28L / -52 PD

                       

                      With playoff brackets looming, Week 12’s box scores won’t blow your mind, but they tell a story — a league collectively catching its breath before the sprint to the championship. And if history’s taught us anything, it’s that a quiet week often precedes a very loud one.

                       

                      =====

                      Takeaway

                      • 🏆 MVP of the Night: Fisk (ASHHF)

                        While the league average PER sat at a humble 4.79, Fisk soared to a 16.5 PER, nearly tripling the standard. He stuffed the stat sheet with 9 PPG on 50% shooting, 2.5 boards, and 1.25 assists — the kind of balanced efficiency you want heading into the playoffs. ASHHF will be counting on this steady two-way play to keep their top spot.

                       


                        RGAC / July 29 / S5 Week 11 - Game Recap

                        🏀 RGAC Week 11 Roasting — July 29th - “Buckets were earned, boards were battled for, and the PER gods smiled on a few chosen ones.”

                        With playoff tension thicker than Jason’s screens and tighter than the rims at half past 8, Week 11 came in gritty, unpredictable, and — dare we say — strangely beautiful. ASHHF stays perched atop the standings at 26–18 (+48), but Lulu Legends are breathing down their necks with a staggering +57 point differential. Meanwhile, Low & Go hold firm at .500 (22–22), the Vegas Jays stay floatin’ like a Monday morning coffee run (20–24), and the Crash Dummies... well, they’re still driving, just not always forward (16–28).

                         

                        🥇 Adam Silver & His Happy Friends — “Still Smiling, Still Winning”

                        The top squad kept things rolling, thanks to Justin’s all-around brilliance and

                        • Fisk: Dropped 4.5 PPG (nearly double the average), pulled 2 RPG, and hit a solid 7.13 PER. One of the more complete performances of the night.
                        • JC added 3 PPG, a steal, and did a little bit of everything. Could use a FG boost (26%), but the effort’s always there.
                        • Wyatt had a block, a few boards, and an assist — the kind of stat line that earns a coach’s nod.
                        • Arny and Kevin kept the rotations moving, though Kevin’s 11% FG might earn him a stern talk with the basketball gods.

                        ASHHF’s depth wins games — it’s not always flashy, but it works.

                         

                        🪂 Lulu Legends — “The Calm Before the Storm?”

                        No massive fireworks this week, but the Legends kept their offense efficient and their turnover count low.

                        • Mike dropped 3.5 PPG, which beats the average, and added 1.25 APG with a 3.38 PER.
                        • Owen quietly posted 42% FG, one of the better clips of the week — the man knows how to take good shots.
                        • Denny was perfect from the field (100% FG), and while it was just 0.67 PPG, that kind of efficiency deserves a slow clap.
                        • Calvin grabbed a board and contributed on defense, holding down the backline.

                        Still missing some key firepower (no Vlade, Ted, or full-court chaos), but this team is poised to strike.

                         

                        🧊 Low & Go — “Slowed & Grinding”

                        It wasn’t the prettiest night, but they’re still right in the mix.

                        • Don led the way again with 4 PPG on 50% FG — scoring nearly double the league average and shooting above it. Mr. Reliable.
                        • Leo added 3 PPG, 40% FG, and chipped in a steal — quietly doing the work.
                        • Danny: Solid effort on the boards (2.5 RPG), but 18% FG isn’t gonna cut it.
                        • Rob: 2.33 PPG, but 20% shooting and a 2 PER show he’s still warming up.
                        • WILL-I-AM had a rough one — 0 points and a turnover — but hey, it happens even for G-League MVP to have an off night.

                        No Kaiser this week, but if they get hot at the right time, they’re dangerous.  Just matter when...

                         

                        🎰 Vegas Jays — “Playing the Long Game”

                        A mix of fire and fog this week — a few big stats and a few “let’s just move on” moments.

                        • Eric: 5.67 PPG (second-highest this week!), 2.67 RPG, and a 7.33 PER — shot just 26%, but the volume made up for it.
                        • Ka Ming: Workhorse of the night. 2 PPG, 4.33 RPG (including 2.33 offensive boards!), 1.67 SPG, 8 PER — stuffed the stat sheet and brought the energy.
                        • Jack quietly added 2.67 PPG with a steal — right at league average, doing the little things.
                        • Jay struggled offensively (1.75 PPG, 18% FG, 1 TO), but did snag a board and stayed engaged.
                        • AlanM: 0 points but grabbed 2.5 RPG and led the league with 0.75 blocks per game. Rim protection matters!

                         

                        💥 Richmond Crash Dummies — “Crashing, But Not Burning”

                        Yes, they’re 5th in the standings, but they’re scrapping every game.

                        • Jason was a standout: 4.5 PPG, 52.94% FG, and a 7.94 PER — Top 3 performance of the week. When he’s efficient, they compete.
                        • Liam added 4.5 PPG as well, though his 31% FG could be tighter. Still, production is production.
                        • Johnny brought the D: 1.25 SPG, which tied for second-best. Also added 3.25 PPG.
                        • Alvin hit the glass with 2.5 RPG, doing his part down low.
                        • Sunny had a quieter week — 0.5 PPG on 17% FG — but at least he’s showing up and putting in the reps.

                         

                        🧩 Free Agents — “The Unsung Heroes”

                        These players drop in, make an impact, and disappear like pickup game legends but leaving for sure playing hard to try impress the teams' captains for potential a contract on draft night for Season 6.

                        • Jo continues to be consistent: 2.67 PPG (above average), 44% FG (one of the best this week), and 3 RPG — quietly one of the most efficient nights.
                        • Jeremy mirrored Jo’s scoring and added an assist — always a safe plug-and-play option.
                        • Alex and Allan were off this week, but we’ll see them again.

                         

                        🔚 Final Takeaway

                        Week 11 brought out a mix of solid individual performances and playoff-tension mistakes. ASHHF still rule the hill, but Lulu Legends have a better point differential and are lurking with shooters. Low & Go are holding steady, the Vegas Jays show flashes of greatness (shoutout Ka Ming), and the Crash Dummies? They’re not done yet. Every team still has something to prove.

                         

                        With just a few weeks left before the playoffs, every board, every steal, every PER bump matters. Who will step up next?

                         

                        See you on the court.

                        • ⭐ MVP of the Night: Justin (ASHHF)

                          1.75 PPG | 38% FG | 4 RPG | 1.25 SPG | 1 BPG | 10.38 PER

                          Don’t let the modest scoring fool you — Justin did everything else like he was auditioning for a Swiss Army Knife sponsorship. Rebounds? Yup. Steals? Absolutely. A block? Why not. He topped every non-scoring category and walked away with the best PER in the league. No one else filled the stat sheet this efficiently. Respect.

                        Key Stats

                          • The League Average set the vibe with:

                            2.35 PPG | 32% FG | 0.41 APG | 1.86 RPG | 0.37 SPG | 0.08 BPG | 4.38 PER

                            It’s the RGAC equivalent of a “meh” Spotify playlist — reliable, but no bangers. So anyone going above this? You’re on the radar.

                         


                          RGAC / July 22 / S5 Week 10 - Game Recap

                          🏀 RGAC - Week 10 Roasting — “Where every bucket counts, every board matters, and hustle is half the fun.”

                          Week 10 is in the books and the playoff race is officially spicy!  Adam Silver and His Happy Friends (ASHHF) have nudged their way back to the top at 23W–17L (+44) but Low & Go, Lulu Legends, and the scrappy Vegas Jays are right behind. Even the Richmond Crash Dummies keep finding new ways to surprise people — and maybe themselves.

                           

                          🥈 ASHHF — “Silver, Friends & Wins”

                          JC kept pace with 5.5 PPG, an efficient 46% FG, plus solid boards and a 9.13 PER — top three among all players this week.  Wyatt added hustle stats with 2.5 RPG, a block, and some buckets.  Kevin and Tonia chipped in just enough to keep the rotations fresh. Everyone plays a role!

                           

                          🚦 Low & Go — “When it Clicks, It Clicks”

                          Don led the charge again: 5.5 PPG (almost double the average!), sizzling 52.6% FG, and 8.25 PER. When DON-key Kong shoots this well, they win.  Leo added a bit of everything: 3 PPG, a couple of dimes, and the glue to keep them organized.  Rob slices and dices.  Danny and Kaiser the team's junkyard dogs both grabbed boards and got defensive stops — nothing flashy, just solid work to help them stay second in the standings.  Team and fans for sure missing their favorite G-League MVP who went to The Brokeback Mountain to find his inner soul.

                           

                          🎰 Vegas Jays — “Grinding for Every Win”

                          The Jays are 19–21 but showing good balance:  Eric: 4.5 PPG, strong 35% from deep, 1.25 APG — one of the smoothest releases this week.  Jay matched the hustle with 3.75 PPG and 3 RPG, both comfortably above average.  Jack sneaked his way through to get a gold star for defense with 1.33 SPG, the week’s top steal mark.  Team did miss their top rebounder, Ka Ming, who got busy handling KM's hop on hop off trolley tour for his HKG visitor and missed most of the games in Week 10.

                           

                          🐉 Lulu Legends — “Certified Shooters”

                          No team shot the ball better this week (when non of the games count as a win for the Lulu due to lack of core players and forfeited all 4 games).  Owen was dialed in: 6.75 PPG, 64% from three, 11.31 PER. If you gave him 10 more shots, he’d light up the scoreboard.  Magic Mike: 4.75 PPG, an eye-popping 60% 3PT FG, and 11.19 PER — backcourt splash energy.  The Smiling Assassin - Calvin did the dirty work too: 2.67 PPG, 50% FG, and 2.67 RPG. Winning teams need shooters and grinders, and Legends have both but not enough core players to count a win in Week 10.

                           

                          🏗️ Richmond Crash Dummies — “Building Block by Block”

                          It’s not always pretty, but it’s progress:  Liam kept the scoreboard moving with 5.75 PPG, over double the league average for the night.  Jason played a complete game: 3.5 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.75 APG, plus a block — all well above average.  Sunny pulled down 3 RPG, tied for one of the better rebounding efforts this week. Little things matter, especially when team without Johnny Crash who got knocked down by some virus while team's forward, Darren got injured as the true Crash Dummies from motocycle race.

                           

                          🔑 Free Agents — “Secret Weapons”

                          When Free Agents show up, they deliver and they are showcasing for potential high draft pick for Season 6:

                          • Jeremy: 4 PPG, 50% FG, 2.33 APG — one of the best passing nights anywhere.
                          • Jo: 2.67 PPG on 40% FG, plus 1.33 SPG — defense and scoring from the bench.
                          • Alex and Allen brought extra rebounding muscle — a quiet but important boost for teams short on depth.

                           

                          🔥 Takeaway

                          This week proved again that everyone can make an impact — from top scorers to gritty rebounders to Free Agents stepping up when teams need it most. Lulu’s shooting is peaking, ASHHF’s balanced core is locked in, and Low & Go keep scrapping for the top. The Jays and Crash Dummies? Still fighting for every point — and that makes the league better.

                           

                          Next week, it’s all on the line again. Who’s heating up? Who’s sneaking into hero mode? Who’s ready to break that average and carry their squad?

                           

                          Same court, same hustle. Bring it on.

                            5 PPG | 41% FG | 2 APG | 2.25 RPG | 1 SPG | 12 PER

                            Fisk the Freak already in knockout playoff form played big across the board, scoring well above the average, dishing out assists at triple the league norm, and locking in defensively. A well-rounded night that kept ASHHF at the top when it mattered most.

                              A solid bar to measure who’s stepping up and who needs that extra rep at open gym.

                           


                            RGAC / July 8 / S5 Week 9 - Game Recap

                            RGAC — Week 9 Roasting: “X-n-O, Top Spot Shuffle, Masked Heroes, and Free Agents Who Actually Try.”

                            Week 9 in a sentence?

                            Low & Go leapfrogs everyone. Adam Silver & His Happy Friends lack of smile but shrugs. Vegas Jays and Lulu are in mid-table purgatory. The Richmond Crash Dummies keep patching the leaks. Meanwhile, Free Agents lurk around like helpful ghosts filling rosters — and occasionally dropping better numbers than the guys they’re subbing for.

                             

                            🚀 Low & Go – Finally On Top

                            It took nine weeks, multiple forfeits, and a million awkward group chats, but Low & Go now sits alone at #1. Not bad for a team named after low expectations.  Leo finally woke up: 5 PPG on 43% FG, 11.25 PER, the highest PER on the team and second-best in the league. Did he sleep in his shooting sleeve?  Don did his Donkey things: 3.7 PPG, 3.67 RPG, 1 SPG, and a rock-solid presence all night.  Kaiser splashed 40% from deep — respectable glue-guy stat line.  Danny, Rob, and William were quiet offensively but still rebounded and played D. Danny’s shot was colder than a Vancouver winter (21% FG), but hey, he grabbed 2 boards!!  Not the flashiest team and somewhat slow and no go — but they keep winning. That’s terrifying.

                             

                            🫧 ASHHF – Top Spot Evaporated

                            They dropped to #2 but not for lack of trying.  JC quietly consistent: 5.33 PPG, 40% FG, plus a swipe and a block here and there.  Wyatt did some work on the glass (2.67 RPG) and even blocked a shot — not bad for the team’s “does everything else” guy.  Kevin shocked the league by scoring 2 PPG on 60% FG — we repeat, 60% FG. He exists!  Arny stayed on-brand with minimal stat lines.  Their point differential (+47) is still tops — so if the wheels come off, it won’t be because they couldn’t score. It’ll be because Fisk has to do everything alone.

                             

                            🎰 Vegas Jays – Slots Still Spinning

                            This team is your classic flip a coin, maybe win squad. Sitting at an even 18–18.  Eric was the hot hand: 5.33 PPG on 39% FG, 8.17 PER, big hustle stats too.  Jay is back in mid-season form: 4.75 PPG, 36% FG, right around league average.  Adrian went scoreless — tragic.  Ka Ming, Jack, and AllanM all chipped in bits and boards, but this team needs a second gear if they want to break into the top three.

                             

                            🐢 Lulu Legends – Stuck in Neutral

                            .500 record. .500 energy. Very Lulu.  Owen actually led the team with 4.25 PPG, but shot 19% FG. Truly the volume shooter experience.  Vlade hustled on the glass (3 RPG) but shot 27% FG — we’ve seen this movie before.  Ted had a tough night: 3 PPG on 11% FG, -2.25 PER at the forfeited game. That’s not a typo but why not just jacking up the shots when the game was counted as 1L already.  Calvin and Denny did cardio and rebounded, but the offense was on vacation.  Team definitely missed their go-to-guy Magic Mike who sat out due to nagging injury.  Hoping a full sqaud soon which Lulu can still ruin someone’s playoff run — or their own.

                             

                            💀 Richmond Crash Dummies – Quietly Not That Bad

                            Don’t look now, but the Dummies had multiple players above average!  Liam: 5.67 PPG, 37% FG, 1 BPG, 9.17 PER — that’s actual impact!  Johnny: 4 PPG, 42% FG, 9.42 PER — consistent two weeks in a row.  Jason: 2 PPG, 1.5 APG, 2.5 RPG, 7.63 PER. Solid utility man energy.  Sunny scored efficiently: 2.67 PPG, 50% FG.  Alvin was perfect: 0.5 PPG on 100% FG. Small sample size? Maybe. But don’t ruin it for him.  12–24 on the season — but for once, they looked like a real basketball team.

                             

                            🤝 Free Agents – Unsung Heroes

                            The silent warriors who plug the gaps. Some highlights:

                            • Jo: 2 PPG, 4 RPG, 1 SPG, 9.5 PER — basically played better than half the league’s starters.
                            • Jeremy: 3 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1 SPG — gritty minutes.
                            • Chris: 2 PPG, 50% FG, took good shots and didn’t force anything.
                            • Alex: Didn’t score but grabbed boards. Respect.

                            Next draft, someone better sign these guys properly — they’re clearly ready.

                             

                            🧾 Final Word

                            Week 9 blew the race wide open:

                            • Low & Go is in the driver’s seat — somehow.
                            • ASHHF has the talent to claw it back.
                            • Vegas Jays and Lulu Legends need to wake up or stay stuck in neutral.
                            • Richmond Crash Dummies might be the best last-place team you’ll ever see.

                            And Free Agents might actually deserve their own team next season (potential 6th team expansion???).  Week 10 is do or die. Playoff spots, seeding, pride — all on the line. Maybe we’ll even break 40% shooting next week.  

                            See you on the court. Bring a sub. You might need one. 🏀✨

                              Fisk didn’t just show up — he duct-taped ASHHF’s fading first-place dream back together with grown-man buckets, boards, and smooth playmaking. A PER nearly triple the league average? He’s the glue, the tape, AND the stapler.

                            Key moment

                            • Game 6 - Vegas Jays V.S. Lulu Legends with 5 seconds left, Vegas Jays trailing 6-8 and went all-in to their lefty sharp shooter, Eric, who took a tight contested 3 point (could be a And-1 too from replay) over his defender and knocked down a buzzer beater 3-point to give Vegas Jays the victory 9-8.

                                Mediocre enough that even your missed layup couldn’t hurt too much.

                             


                              RGAC / June 24 / S5 Week 8 - Game Recap

                              RGAC -- — Week 8 Roasting: “Three-Way Tie at the Top, One Crash Dummy MVP, and a Whole Lot of Mid.”

                              We’ve entered the Twilight Zone of RGAC standings: ASHHF, Low & Go, and Lulu Legends all locked at 18–14. If this were a group project, everyone would be fighting over who did the most work (hint: none of them shot well). Meanwhile, Vegas Jays remain poker-faced at .500, and the Crash Dummies? Well... even a broken clock wins once a week.

                               

                              🥇 ASHHF – Holding on for Dear Life

                              Still technically first, but only because the rest of the league took turns tripping over themselves.  JC was back in solid form: 5.25 PPG, 33% FG, 0.75 BPG, and a strong 7.94 PER. Basically the team’s duct tape.  Fisk put up decent numbers: 4 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.5 APG, but shot 29%, which was… fine to G-League standard (accordingly to G-League MVP Will-I-AM).  Wyatt brought rebounding hustle (2.25 Off RPG!) but shot like he was still wearing those COBS oven mitts (22%).  Arny hit one shot all night. We wish that was a joke.  

                               

                              ASHHF went 2–2 on the night—just enough to duct tape the team to cling at first, just little enough to worry everyone watching.

                               

                              🔼 Low & Go – From Low to Whoa (Again)

                              They’ve caught up. Again. Someone stop them.  Don is the team’s steadiest hand: 4 PPG, 47% FG, 2.25 RPG, 8.31 PER. Just vibing.  Rob ran the point nicely with 2 APG, 4 PPG, and a sneaky 9.19 PER—second-highest of the night.  Danny showed his classic all-around game: 2.75 PPG, 0.75 SPG, and big defensive plays.  Kaiser added nice glue-guy stats: 2.25 PPG, 2 RPG, 0.75 SPG, and splashed a couple 3s (37.5%).

                              With Leo ditched his ex Magic Mike and took fans' fav Will-I-AM up to Brokeback Mountain, the squad did not miss them at all and finished the night with 4W0L and captured full 4 points in Week 8, proving that maybe slow and steady does win the race—especially when everyone else is sprinting into walls.

                               

                              🔁 Lulu Legends – The Quiet Climb

                              Lulu went 2W2L and snagged 2 precious season points to stay in the hunt for 1st spot of Season 5. They're now tied with Vegas Jays with total 18 points by the end of Week 8, but in very Lulu fashion, they managed to stay at 4th spot with better winning percentage.  

                              Magic Mike is slowly building a case for All-Richmond Grizzlies Second Team: 4.5 PPG, 40% from three, 5.38 PER.  Ted struggled this week: 1.5 PPG, 19% FG, 1.5 PER—let’s call it a rest week because he "practice" on Monday and Wednesday.  Calvin stays efficient with his usual smile: 2 PPG, 50% FG, 1 APG.  Vlade did some cardio and rebounded (2.25 RPG) while Owen and Denny DNP’d (Did Not Podium).

                              No flash, no noise—but crafty. Watch out.

                               

                              🎰 Vegas Jays – Slot Machines on Cool Down

                              It was a coin flip kind of night: 2–2, and stats all over the place.  Jay was their best player: 5.25 PPG, 38% FG, 8.19 PER, the best he's looked all season.  Eric had a rough shooting night (18%) but salvaged it with hustle: 1.67 SPG.  Ka Ming grabbed boards (2.67 RPG) and had some defensive touches, but missed shots like it was part of the plan.  Adrian went cold: 2 PPG, 22% FG, but added 2.5 RPG.  AllanM did his job on the boards (3.33 RPG), which was enough to earn “Nice Effort” status from the coaches.  

                              Despite low shooting percentage, the Jays held steady an found ways to win the winnable games and edged the Lulu Legends in Week 8 to secure 3 points with 2W2L. A little heat and they might still crash the top 3.

                               

                              💥 Crash Dummies – Crashed, But Not Dead

                              Johnny Crash gave his MVP performance as team's emotional leader.  Liam and Sunny did what they could, combining for 4.33 PPG and 5.8 RPG, but struggled to score.  Jason put up 1 PPG on 18% shooting, which is… a number.  Alvin added 1.75 RPG, but this team still lacks structure and… well, points.

                               

                              1W3L on the night. But hey, they’re still showing up—and sometimes that’s half the battle.

                               

                              🧾 Final Word

                              This is it: Week 8 officially launched the Battle for the #1 Seed™.  ASHHF is clinging to their top spot like it’s a ledge in a bad action movie.  Low & Go are the sleeper pick no one wants to face in playoffs.  Lulu Legends are back, smiling quietly and ruining everyone's plans.  Vegas Jays? Wild card energy.  And Crash Dummies… still legally a team but only needing to win "1 Game" in playoff knockout round, so perhaps they don't care their regular season standing.

                               

                              See y’all in Week 9, where the drama will be real, the shooting hopefully less tragic, and the standings might finally break this three-way tie.  Let the chaos continue. 🏀💀🔥

                              • 🏆 MVP of the Night: Johnny “Masked Menace” (Crash Dummies)

                                6 PPG | 32% FG | 36% 3PT | 3 RPG | 0.67 SPG | PER: 9.46

                                Yes, the Richmond Crash Dummies produced the MVP. No, this isn’t satire. Johnny had that Michael Jordan flu game energy (but real flu, not marketing). He shot with confidence (or lack of confidence on passing that may lead to turnovers), defended well (or teams put weak defenders on him), and for a moment, made the Dummies look like a real basketball team (until end of the night, they found themselves still got 0 point in Week 8).

                              Key moment

                              • Game 4 - RCD V.S. Vegas Jays, when RCD trailing down the stretch but team's emotional leader, Johnny Crash, stepped up with his MVP flu game performance by knocking down 4 deep tryes (including back-to-back) who finished with 12 points and led RCD came back strong by winning Game 4 with final score 16-9.
                              • Game 10 - Overtime between Low & Go V.S. RCD, Low & Go picked up Jeremy (first game after achilles surgery and rehab) for 1-game contract as Free Agent.  Jermey did not disappoint his new team and proved he can still ball by knocking down the game winning 3-pointer to give Low & Go a perfect night with 4W0L.

                              Key Stats

                                • League-wide averages this week were the basketball equivalent of lukewarm soup:

                                  🧊 2.26 PPG | 25.73% FG | 0.54 APG | 2.07 RPG | 0.42 SPG | 0.09 BPG | 4.64 PER

                                  A night so cold it needed a parka.

                                  • Points leader: JC and Jay at 21 points each.  With Jay also got his first double-double of Season 5 with 21 points and 10 boards.
                                  • Assist leader: Rob finished with 8 assits (the ball for Low & Go is really flowing smoothly).
                                  • Rebound leader: Wyatt with 17 rebounds (8 offensive and 9 defensive).
                                  • Steal leader: Eric picked 5 pockets.
                                  • Block leader: JC proves that he can also play defense with 3 blocks.  

                               


                                RGAC / June 17 / S5 Week 7 - Game Recap

                                RGAC -- — Week 7 Roasting – “Unofficial Games, Official Chaos”

                                In a week where games didn’t count but stats absolutely did, Week 7 turned into what can only be described as open gym with a stat tracker. Teams scrambled to field enough players while others forgot their group chats existed. Regardless, the ball still went up, and the numbers told a story that was equal parts inspiring, confusing, and sometimes tragic.

                                 

                                League-wide, we saw modest outputs: 2.79 PPG, 29.57% FG, and a PER of 5.78. So if you missed your shots this week, just know—you weren’t alone.

                                 

                                🏆 MVP of the Night: Fisk the Freak (ASHHF)

                                8.33 PPG, 50% shooting, 2 APG, and 14.33 PER. It’s unclear what Fisk ate before the game, but rumor has it his stat line was so efficient it got flagged for PED testing. With JC playing sidekick and Justin gobbling boards, ASHHF is back in championship form.

                                 

                                🧊 ASHHF – Full Squad, Full Stats

                                JC played a clean, balanced game: 6 PPG, 55% FG, 1.25 APG, and 12.31 PER.  Justin returned to his roots with 5.25 RPG and 0.5 SPG (before he takes his talent to Asia for the next 4 weeks), even though his shot was missing like his upcoming 4 weeks.  Wyatt and Tonia were out there… and that’s all we’ll say. And team's role player, Kevin looked like playing a different sport, by putting up a fantasy football stat line: 0-0-0-0-0.  But somehow, ASHHF still finished the night at 2nd spot with 3W1L and captured 3 points in Week 7.

                                 

                                🔥 Lulu Legends – Legends Who Showed Up

                                Mike had one of his best nights of the season: 5.5 PPG, 48% FG, 2.25 APG, and 3 RPG, earning a stellar 13.75 PER.  Someone must had poked the Teddy Bear who did his Teddy things: 6 PPG, 3.75 RPG, and a strong 10.31 PER, proving he’s quietly one of the league’s most consistent players.  The Smiling Assassin 

                                Calvin turned heads with 3.3 PPG on 56% FG and 0 turnovers.  And the Ukranian Tractor Vlade, meanwhile, shot 13% FG, which we’ll call “Vlade-ing” until further notice.

                                 

                                💪 Low & Go – Solid, Scrappy, Slightly Streaky

                                Commissioner Danny continued his defensive excellence: 2.75 PPG, 3 RPG, 1.25 SPG.  After an hour of prayer,  Pastor Don put up 4 PPG on 44% FG with his signature old-man footwork and another offensive rebound (because of course), AMEN to that!!  Rob led the team in scoring with 5 PPG, 40% FG, and 0.67 APG. Not flashy, but effective.  Leo, still searching for his jump shot, hit 2.6 PPG on 20% FG, but we respect the volume.  Kaiser added some glue guy stats: 2 RPG, 0.75 APG, 0.25 BPG.  Despite all that, the team missed their G-League MVP Will-I-AM who slept in and caused the team to forfeit one game, which potentially leading him to be traded.  

                                 

                                🎰 Vegas Jays – Hot/Cold Slots Vibes

                                Eric continues to be a bright spot: 5.75 PPG, 32% from deep, 0.75 APG, and 9.88 PER. A reliable spark.  Jay had a rough go: 0.5 PPG, 7% FG, but a surprisingly team-high 1.75 APG and 1.75 RPG. Facilitator arc?  

                                Ka Ming brought his usual grit: 2.75 RPG, 0.5 SPG, 0.5 BPG. Not glamorous, but crucial.  AllanM chipped in with 1 PPG and 1.25 RPG, but struggled to get looks.

                                 

                                💀 Richmond Crash Dummies – Running on Hope and Hustle

                                Liam was the top scorer again with 4 PPG, 33% FG, and 0.4 BPG. Call him the Dummies' duct tape, lots of patching jobs still need to be done for this team.  

                                Sunny had a quiet night: 1.75 PPG, 38% FG, 2.5 RPG. Solid role player minutes.  Jason posted 2.67 PPG, 33% FG, and 0.33 BPG, giving consistent effort even if shots aren’t dropping.  Johnny, battling a fever (and a facemask), toughed out 1.75 PPG and 2.25 RPG—a warrior’s stat line if we’ve ever seen one.  Alvin gets hustle points with 2.25 RPG and 1 SPG.

                                 

                                📊 Final Word

                                The race is tightening. Lulu is closing in, Low & Go and Vegas are in a dead heat, and ASHHF is hanging on to the top spot by a thread. Meanwhile, the Crash Dummies are... still technically in the league (duct taped at the bottom).

                                As we head into the final stretch, one thing is clear: stats don’t lie—but they do occasionally mislead, especially if you only read PER.

                                See you in Week 8, where we’ll find out who’s heating up and who’s just showing up.

                                • Despite The Lulu Legends had to forfeit 1 of the 4 game due to lack of core players and finished Week 7 with 3W1L (tied ASHHF), but they won the tie breaker game and so finished 1st in Week 7 and got all 4 points.

                                Key moment

                                • Also the "Play of the Night" which went viral in group chat, the chase down block by Liam on Kaiser in Game 6.  It was just one single play, but it was a draw-dropping single play.

                                Key Stats

                                • Fisk - 25 points, 6 assists, 7 rebounds
                                • Ted (strong double-double) - 24 points and 15 rebounds
                                • Other top defensive stats:
                                  • Justin - 21 rebounds
                                  • Danny & Vlade - 5 steals
                                  • Ka Ming & Liam - 2 blocks

                                 


                                  RGAC / June 10 / S5 Week 6 - Game Recap

                                  RGAC -- — Week 6  – June 10th “Four teams, one record, and a whole lot of chaos.”

                                  Welcome to the week where everything got spicy. The standings are now tighter than a pair of compression shorts two sizes too small, with Low & Go, Vegas Jays, and Lulu Legends all tied at 13–11. Meanwhile, ASHHF still leads at 14–10, but their grip on first is shakier than a toddler holding a smoothie. Even the Crash Dummies are starting to look... functional? Buckle up, because Week 6 was full of surprises, stats, and a couple of “Did that really happen?” moments.

                                   

                                  📉 ASHHF: Still First, But It’s ComplicatedIt’s hard to stay on top when everyone below you is gaining momentum and you’re shooting like the lights are off. Fisk continues to be ASHHF’s stabilizer, leading with 4.75 PPG, 4 RPG, and 1 APG on a decent 36% FG—which, compared to the league average (31%), is practically All-Star level. Justin grabbed 3.25 boards, but shot just 27% FG, while Arny (1.5 PPG, 23% FG) and JC (3.5 PPG, 29% FG) continued their campaign for the "Least Efficient Bucket." Even Kevin made the box score with 0.5 RPG, which is like finding a loonie in your laundry—unexpected but appreciated. If ASHHF is going to stay on top, they’ll need a bit more from everyone, or start negotiating with the basketball gods.

                                   

                                  🚀 Low & Go: From Basement to BoomJust weeks ago, they were “Low,” and now they’re going places. Low & Go now sits at 13–11, one game back of first, and arguably the hottest team in the league. Their offense this week was smoother than a Spotify jazz playlist. Danny and Don both balled out with 4 PPG and 5 PPG respectively, each hitting 58% FG like they’ve been secretly training in a gym with no roof. Leo cooled off a bit (3.25 PPG, 31% FG) but still contributed, while Rob ran the point with 2.25 APG. Bonus shoutout to William, who grabbed a team-high 3.5 defensive rebounds, and newcomer Kaiser, who stepped in with 2.5 PPG on 66.7% from three—an instant fan favorite if your fantasy team awards points for vibes.

                                   

                                  💥 Vegas Jays: Eric, Lord of BucketsEric didn't just play well—he owned the night. With 7.33 PPG on 50% from three, 4 RPG, and a performance smoother than Ka Ming’s haircut, he’s your Week 6 MVP. Speaking of Ka Ming, the basketball gods giveth and taketh—just 1.75 PPG on 27% FG, but still hustling on the offensive glass. Adrian had a quieter week (3.33 PPG, 38% FG), and Jay struggled (2 PPG, 21% FG), but gave some playmaking with 1 APG. AllanM, however, finished with just 0.5 PPG on 16.7% FG, which we assume was part of a long-term performance art piece titled The Absence of Points.

                                   

                                  🔄 Lulu Legends: Three-Way Tie, One-Way StreetThe Legends are technically in the hunt at 13–11, but they played this week like they’d rather be in the stands eating nachos. Mike led the team with 4.25 PPG, but only hit 11.11% FG. How? We don’t know either, but his 8.69 PER proves he did something right. Ted chipped in 3.5 PPG on 35% FG and 1.5 RPG, solid by league standards. Vlade and Calvin grabbed rebounds and moral victories, while Owen continued to chuck from three at 11%, like a man on a personal mission to challenge the laws of geometry.

                                   

                                  💥 Crash Dummies: Mayhem with MomentumThe Dummies went 2–2 this week, and we don’t know what’s more shocking—the wins or the fact that Jason dropped a 10.17 PER with 40% shooting. Johnny caught fire from deep (4.25 PPG, 41% from three), and Sunny made the most of his shots with 2 PPG on 60% FG. Liam continued to be a defensive pest with 0.75 blocks per game, and Alvin is slowly emerging as the league’s most unassuming shot blocker with 0.5 BPG. Honestly, this team is now the basketball equivalent of a raccoon in your garage—you laughed at first, but now you’re kind of afraid.

                                   

                                  📊 League Averages – Week 62.49 PPG | 31% FG | 0.44 APG | 1.66 RPG | 0.37 SPG | 0.16 BPG | 4.76 PERThe moral of the story: If you’re scoring more than 3 points and shooting better than 35%, congratulations—you’re basically the MVP this week.
                                  Final ThoughtsWe are officially at peak chaos. Four teams are separated by a single game, and every win from now on could shift the entire playoff picture. If Week 6 taught us anything, it’s that shooting is optional, PER is confusing, and heart still counts for something. Unless you're Lulu Legends. Then maybe it’s time for a team dinner or a sage cleansing ritual.
                                  See you next week—where someone’s title dreams will rise and someone else’s jumper will hit the rafters.

                                  • The Low & Go back-to-back top the night (Week 6) with 3W1L and captured full 4 points and climbed to Season Standing 2nd spot.

                                  Key moment

                                  • 2 crucial "Kevin Durant's toe on the line" calls:
                                    • Game 5 - RCD VS Vegas Jays, with under 30 seconds, Liam stepped back and knocked down a long range.  But upon video reviewed and confirmed toe was on the line and ruled 2 points only.  RCD lost Game 5 with final score 13-14.
                                    • Game 7 - Lulu Legends VS Vegas Jays, where back-n-forth between Mike and Eric trading baskets.  Crucial call on Mike's foot on the line and gave Lulu 2 points lead down the stretch and setup Eric who knocked down a deep 3 to lead Vegas Jays to victory with final score 14-13.

                                  Key Stats

                                  • Eric - 22 points (Week 6 high) with 6 3 points (6/12 shooting)
                                  • Fisk (strong double-doublt Week 6 night) - 19 points and 16 rebounds
                                  • Rob - 9 assists, 4 steals

                                   


                                    RGAC / June 3 / S5 Week 5 - Game Recap

                                    RGAC -- — Week 5 “Shooting slumps, superhero PERs, and the race to .500.”

                                     

                                    The league's fifth week of action was more unpredictable than a group chat RSVP. While ASHHF clung to the top spot like a desperate TikToker to their last viral post, Low & Go and Vegas Jays decided to cosplay as contenders with identical .500 records. The Crash Dummies even won some games, presumably by confusing their opponents with existential questions like “Why are we here?”

                                    Let’s jump into the glorious chaos.

                                     

                                    🧠 ASHHF: The Brains, the Brawn, the Bricklayers

                                    ASHHF went 13–7 and held onto first place with a solid +53 point differential, but this week’s offense looked like they were playing with oven mitts on. Fisk was the bright spot, running point like a conductor (2.5 APG) and putting up an efficient 8.56 PER despite shooting just 22.2% from the field. JC came back from his week off to drop 5.33 PPG, good for second-highest in the league—but he did it on 34.78% FG, which is about as reliable as an umbrella in a windstorm. Arny (2.67 PPG, 36% FG) and Wyatt (1.67 RPG, 0.33 BPG) filled in the gaps with grit. Justin, normally a stat sheet darling, quietly grabbed 2.5 boards and stayed mostly out of trouble. The team is still winning, but the vibes are very much "we’ll fix it in playoffs."

                                     

                                    🐉 Lulu Legends: Slipping, But Still Spicy

                                    Once neck-and-neck for #1, Lulu Legends have now slipped to 12–8 and a +25 point differential. The wheels haven’t fallen off, but there’s definitely a wobble. Ted was the steadiest contributor this week with 3.67 PPG and 2.33 RPG, basically doing all the little things while everyone else… struggled. Vlade added 1.75 PPG and 2.5 RPG, and Owen continued his journey as the league’s most prolific “almost shooter,” going 25% from three. Special shoutout to Mike, who put up a tragic -1.33 PER on 11.1% shooting. His performance was so low, scientists are using it to measure deep-sea pressure.

                                    Low & Go are now sitting at a cool 10–10, rising from the basement like a montage scene in a sports movie. But let's not sugarcoat it—this week was ugly. Leo, last week's flamethrower, couldn’t buy a bucket, shooting 15.79% FG while still leading his team with 2.67 PPG. That tells you all you need to know. Rob matched the shooting woes (also 15.79% FG), and Don wasn’t far behind (28.57%). But Danny? He snagged 1.5 offensive rebounds per game, making him the basketball version of a raccoon—always finding scraps where no one else is looking.

                                     

                                    🎰 Vegas Jays: Bet on Adrian

                                    Vegas might be a gamble, but Adrian was pure gold. He’s your Week 5 MVP with a 9.63 PER, dropping 4.5 PPG on a super-smooth 56.25% FG, while adding 1.5 steals and 1.5 boards. This man is what every team wants: low-maintenance and highly effective. The rest of the squad… not so much. Jay and Eric both shot 15.79%, which is less “cold streak” and more “cryogenic.” Ka Ming was effective on the boards (3.5 RPG) but went 0% from three, proving that even he isn’t immune to the league-wide perimeter curse.

                                     

                                    🧱 Crash Dummies: Progress in Motion

                                    They’re still last at 5–15, but the Richmond Crash Dummies have now logged more wins than awkward airballs per game (barely). Jason was a rare bright spot, scoring 3.5 PPG on 35% FG, with 1.75 RPG—all above league average. Liam continued his quietly solid campaign with 3.5 PPG, 6.44 PER, and no unnecessary drama. And Johnny surprised the world by posting a 6.25 PER and grabbing 3.67 boards, meaning we can officially retire the “least valuable player” joke… for now. Alvin also joined the stat sheet with a 0.33 block, making it his official league debut on paper.

                                    2.11 PPG | 28.3% FG | 0.48 APG | 2.31 RPG | 0.43 SPG | 0.13 BPG | 4.30 PER

                                     

                                    As always, these are the lines to beat. If you're above them, great. If you're below them, maybe just yell louder when your team scores—hype counts too.

                                     

                                    Final Thoughts

                                    Week 5 brought defensive grinds, cold shooting, and a lot of hard-fought wins that looked more like wrestling matches than basketball games. Still, the standings are tightening, and every team—yes, even the Dummies—has something to build on. The league is officially at its halfway point, and nothing is guaranteed... except that at least one person will forget their water bottle again next week.

                                     

                                    See you on the court.

                                    • Despite shooting woe and low PER for the entire team, the Low & Go did top Week 5 with 3W1L and captured full 4 points.

                                      RGAC / May 27 / S5 Week 4 - Game Recap

                                      RGAC -- — Week 4 of league action brought us even more plot twists than a late-season episode of Succession. After 16 games played per team, ASHHF and Lulu Legends now share the same record at 11–5, with ASHHF barely clinging to the #1 spot thanks to a +48 point differential. But let’s be honest: the real winner of the week was chaos. Let’s dive in.

                                      🚨 League Leaders Faceplant (A Little)
                                      ASHHF might still be top dogs, but this week they looked more like Adam Silver & His Tired Friends. Fisk led the squad with 5 PPG, though he needed a GPS to find the rim (30.8% FG). Justin, formerly the league’s golden boy, apparently swapped his shooting sleeve for oven mitts—posting 0.5 PPG on 7.14% shooting. He did, however, grab 2.75 rebounds, proving he still knows how to jump. Wyatt continued his all-around contributions with 2.25 assists and 1 steal per game, while Tonia provided hustle and an aesthetically pleasing jump shot that tragically refused to go in (2 PPG on 23% FG). Also notable: JC was MIA, possibly scouting for Team Canada.
                                       
                                      🛶 Lulu Legends Level the Field
                                      The Lulu Legends are officially tied for first, mostly by staying just consistent enough. Mike did Mike things with 4.5 PPG, 33.3% FG, and a solid 2.25 RPG. Calvin was quietly efficient (2 PPG, 50% FG, 0.5 blocks), while Vlade scored 1.5 PPG while literally never missing a 2-pointer (100%). Ted rebounded like a guy whose fantasy team depended on it (2.25 RPG). It’s not flashy, but it works—like a dependable Toyota Corolla.
                                       
                                      🎰 Vegas Jays Hit the Jackpot (Kind Of)
                                      The Vegas Jays are now 8–8 and climbing, thanks in large part to Ka Ming, the MVP of the night. He put up 5.33 PPG on an absurd 66.7% FG, added 1.33 offensive rebounds, 1 steal, and rocked a 12.17 PER—more value than half of us bring to our jobs. Eric added 7.67 PPG on a blistering 41% from three, while Adrian went full rebounding machine with 2.25 offensive boards and a strong 10.63 PER. Jay, meanwhile, showed up. That’s it. He was physically present.
                                       
                                      🪜 Low & Go Starting to Climb
                                      Now sitting at 7–9, Low & Go might be finding their groove. Leo continued his rise with 6.5 PPG on 60% FG and added 1 assist, reminding us all why he wears the metaphorical crown. Danny brought his signature balance with 2.25 PPG, 1.25 APG, and 0.5 steals, while Don quietly added 3.5 PPG. William may have only scored 2.5 PPG, but did so on 71.4% FG—a true efficiency G-League MVP. And then there’s one-hand Rob, who had 1.25 PPG on 20% shooting, but he tried his best, and we love that for him.
                                       
                                      🚗 Crash Dummies Finally Crash into Wins
                                      Somehow, some way, Richmond Crash Dummies are no longer winless, now sitting at 3–13. Jason stepped up with 3 PPG, 37.5% FG, and a respectable 6.69 PER. Liam added 4 PPG on 42.1% shooting and 2.25 rebounds—someone check if he’s drinking Gatorade or rocket fuel. Sunny put up 2.75 PPG on 50% FG, and Johnny… well… he finished with a -0.31 PER, 0.5 PPG, and 10% FG. Johnny’s playing a different game—one that possibly involves a blindfold.
                                       
                                      League Averages for the Week:
                                      2.74 PPG | 38.2% FG | 0.48 APG | 1.5 RPG | 0.38 SPG | 0.1 BPG | 5.33 PER
                                      If you're above these marks—congrats, you’re above average. If not… you might just be vibes only.
                                       
                                      Final Thoughts
                                      The standings are heating up, the PERs are swinging wildly, and for the first time, it feels like anyone can win this thing… except maybe Johnny. The top two teams are now tied, the middle of the pack is messy, and the Dummies are no longer a punchline (okay, maybe just a little).
                                       
                                      Week 5 looms. Who will rise? Who will flop? And who will forget their jersey again? Stay tuned.

                                        RGAC / May 13 / S5 Week 2 - Game Recap

                                        RGAC -- — Week 2 shook loose a few surprises, but the pecking order remained mostly intact. ASHHF (Adam Silver & His Happy Friends) still sit atop the table at 7–1 with a daunting +39 point differential—but even they showed a human side.  Fisk the Freak staggered out of the gate with just 3.75 PPG on 33% shooting, though he hauled in 3.75 RPG like a man possessed. Justin the CN Tower despite playing with a lower back stiffness and mustering only 1 PPG (25% FG), but still snagged 4 boards and even swiped 1 steal, proving that defense never naps. Wyatt the Baker sprinkled in 2 PPG on 42.9% shooting, blocked 0.33 shots, and turned it over just 0.33 times, just like his Shake & Bake routine in the bakery.

                                        Hot on their heels, the Lulu Legends improved to 5–3 (+11), but finished Week 2 at 4th place with 1 point (2W2L and loss the tie breaker against Vegas Jays).  Despite team starting PG Magic Mike back from Brokeback Mountain and Teddy "Grizziles" Bear stepped in with 3.0 PPG and 2.75 RPG, while Vlade the Ukrainian Tractor chipped in defensively with 1 steal per game, they not able to unleash Owen the 3pt Bomber freely in Week 2, who only finished with 10 points (2/6 3PTS). 

                                        Currently sitting at 3rd place with 4-4 record, Low & Go fought hard in Week 2 with 3W1L.  After a horrible season opener with 4 bigs and no guard line-up, team got back on track in Week 2 with 1 of their 2 offensive engine back, Leo who torching rims for 5.25 PPG on 52.94% shooting, dishing 2.5 assists, and snagging 2 rebounds—all on a 12.13 PER that screamed, “I belong in the highlight reel.”  Leo's presence also benefit team's other 2 bigs in scoring with Don efficient with 4.5 PPG at 50% FG,  and G-League MVP Will-I-AM chipped in 2.75 PPG on 50% shooting where he also start showcasing his new offense game at the 3pt line as well.  On the defense end, Danny the Commissioner finished with 8 rebounds and 4 steals while Kaiser tuned into his "in the moment" mindset affected many opponents' shots, including throwing his entire body to knock down Jason Shuttlesworth from his baseline jumper.

                                        The expansion team Vegas Jays is currently at 4th place with at 4–4 record as well.  After missing the season opener, both Jay and Eric returned in Week 2 to secure team's backcourt.  While team's 1st round pick, Adrian, continues to shine by leading their charge with 4.0 PPG on 47% shooting, pulled down 2.25 rebounds, and earned a team‐best 7.25 PER. Ka Ming quietly grabbed 1.75 boards per game at 40% FG. If they ever decide to show up, watch out.

                                        Down in the cellar, the Richmond Crash Dummies remain winless at 0–8 (–48). Every stat feels like a participation trophy: Jason squeezed out 2 PPG and 4.75 RPG, Sunny mustered 1.5 PPG on 18.8% shooting, and Liam managed 1 PPG despite only a 14.3% clip. They’re auditioning for a horror remake called “Night of the Walking Dummies.”  Will they finally get a full team to put up a real fight in Week 3, we shall see.

                                        All told, Week 2 reminded us that even the most polished teams can stumble, underdogs can bite back, and some franchises might be stuck in a tragic comedy. Can ASHHF maintain their stranglehold? Will Lulu close the gap? And will the Dummies ever wake up? Stay tuned.

                                        Takeaway

                                        • 3-way tie among Lulu Legends (2nd place), Low & Go (3rd place) and Vegas Jays (4th place).  Week 3 will be crucial on teams' standing.

                                          RGAC / May 6 / S5 Week 1 - Season 5 Opener Game Recap

                                          RGAC -- — Week 1 tipped off the new season with intensity, and ASHHF (Adam Silver & His Happy Friends) came out swinging. The defending champ finished the night with a dominant 4-0 record and a +30 point differential, setting the tone early as the team to beat.

                                          Leading the charge was ASHHF's 1st round pick (Season 5, 5th overall) Justin the CN Tower, who earned this week's MVP honours with a stellar PER of 13.81, went a perfect 100% from three (1/1, his new arsenal) and hauled in 5.5 rebounds per game. ASHHF's new captain, JC the Flash, paced the league in scoring, averaging 7.5 points per game on an efficient 48.89% shooting, while Fisk the Freak also contributed across the board with 5.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. At the point, the team newly addition, Wyatt the Baker who came out from retirement, kept the offense steady with 1.4 assists and only 1 turnover per game, and Arnie the Baseline Shooter chipped in offensively, shooting 35.3% from two-point range.

                                          Close behind, the Lulu Legends finished 3-1 and showcased a balanced, disciplined approach with their newly formed Twin Towers. Teddy "Grizzlies" Bear led the entire league in playmaking with 1.75 assists per game and added defensive pressure with 1 steal per game, tying for the league lead. Calvin the Smiling Assassin, matched Justin’s hot hand from long range, also hitting 100% of his threes, while team's OG Vlad the Ukrainian Tractor was a quiet defensive anchor, averaging 1 steal per game as well. Owen the 3pt Bomber (taking his talent to the Lulu Island when ASHHF could not matchLulu's offer in the off season) showed his green light from deep, attempting 4.67 threes per game and connecting on 28.57%, comfortably above the league average of 26.68%.

                                          Low & Go struggled to find footing, shooting, passing, defending, everything.... playing without key players Leo (injured his back on Brokeback Mountain) and Rob (chopping watermelon but ended up slicing his finger and sent to ER). In their absence, shooting woes defined their day - with 1st overall pick Danny the Commissioner shot 8.3% from the field (already lots of controversial discussion out there did Low & Go wasted their 1st pick). Even all time fans favorite, G-League MVP, Will-I-Am could not save the night for Low & Go who finished 7.1% FG% shooting. There are definitely lots of X-n-O adjustments need to be made for this team to fully utilize the big 4.

                                          The Crash Dummies were also shorthanded, with 4 key guys (Liam, Jason, Johnny and Darren) took the load management to a different level by camping in the woods and partying in Asia. Team left with lone ranger, Sunny who stood out with a solid performance, averaging 3.0 points per game on 44.4% shooting, providing a rare bright spot.

                                          Finally, the expansion team Vegas Jays, without their team captain, Jay (hangover in Vegas) and Eric (illness), leaned on their remaining players to keep pace. Team's 1st round pick (Season 5, 2nd overall) Adrian the MPT did not disappoint the crowd. He matched Sunny’s efficiency with 4.0 points per game at 44.4% shooting, while Jack (who decided leaving ASHHF in the off season and signing a big contract with Vegas Jays) stepped up defensively, tying for the steals lead with 1 per game.

                                          With Week 1 in the books, ASHHF has made a strong early claim, but the Lulu Legends are right on their heels. The rest of the league will be looking to bounce back fast—especially as missing players return. Week 2 can’t come soon enough.

                                          Takeaway

                                          • The defending champ (ASHHF) finished Week 1 with a point differential of +30.

                                          Key moment

                                          • Game 5, Low & Go edged Richmond Crash Dummies with final score of 18-16 thanks to G-League MVP, Will-I-AM knocking down a game winning 3 to give L&G their only win of the night.

                                            RGAC / Mar 18 & Mar 25 / S4 Week 11 & 12 - Season Finale Game Recap

                                            RGAC -- — In Week 11, Team Adam Silver & His Happy Friends finished last with 1 point, but enough to secure their 1st place in Season 4 due to a hot start in first month of the season.  The late season strong push from Team Low & Go got them closed down the gap between 3rd place Team Lulu Legends and 2nd place Team Richmond Crash Dummies.  

                                            Focus and intensity at maximum level in Week 12 with Lulu Legends and Richmond Crash Dummies tipped off Season 4 Finale.  Already under-size and without team's rebound leader, Ka Ming, due to severe wrist injury, the Crash Dummies not enough strength to fight the Lulu Legends, who led by their own Captain Mikey who stuffed the stat sheets with 5 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, to secure a crucial Game 1 of Week 12 with final score of 13-10.

                                            The Low & Go faced top seed Adam Silver & His Happy Friends in Game 2.  Due to rough start from Low & Go and Team ASHHF balanced attack, ASHHF took Game 2 with final score of 10-7.

                                            Season 4 top two rivalry teams (Team ASHHF and Team RCD) finally met in Game 3.  After losing Game 1, RCD's captain Johnny Crash tried to lead his team to get their first win in Week 12.  Despite Don finished with 9 points, both Johnny and Jason finished with 5 points each and getting a late rare 3 point from AllanM, still not enough to get the team a victory due to ASHHF's OG, Danny, had a breakout performance finishing with 14 points with 100% FG shooting (4/4 2 points and 2/2 3 points) and led ASHHF to victory with final score of 25-24.

                                            The Low & Go finally got their first win in Week 12 in Game 4 when facing Lulu Legends.  The Lulu thought would be an easy match, so sitting out Captain Mikey, but Low & Go capitalized it and making it a close game from start to finish.  With multiple lead changes, the game went down to the wire with Low & Go 3-n-D wing, Eric, running the last possession for Low & Go with team down 1 point by driving hard on his left and pulled a tough fadeaway jumper over the Lulu's twin towers, Vlad and Justin, for a buzzer beater basket.  Low & Go won by final score of 9-8.

                                            After 8 hard fought games in Week 12, the final buzzer finally sound.  Fisk the Freak put his hands behind his head, with Richmond Grizzlies basketball league fans and players standing on their feet cheering around - he took it all in.  

                                            The Adam Silver & His Happy Friends stand alone and topped the Season 4 to win the team’s 1st ever Richmond Grizzlies championship. 

                                            “It means the world," Fisk said on centre stage after the team received the Richmond Grizzlies trophy from Commissioner Wyatt. "It’s been a long time. And damn I’m grateful.”

                                            The 12 weeks journey of Richmond Grizzlies Season 4 was complete.

                                              Richmond Grizzlies Basketball Officiating Last Two Minute Report

                                              Below is the league’s assessment of officiated events that occurred in the last two minutes of games that were at or within three points during any point in the last two minutes of the game (and overtime, where applicable). The plays assessed include all calls (whistles) and notable non-calls. Notable non-calls will generally be defined as material plays directly related to the outcome of a possession.

                                              Similar to the season’s instant replay standards (usually handled by Lulu's Vladie), there must be clear and conclusive video evidence in order to make a determination that a play or stats were incorrectly officiated. Events that are indirectly related to the outcome of a possession (e.g., a non-call on contact away from the play) and/or plays that are only observable with the help of a stopwatch, zoom or other technical support may be noted in brackets along with the explanatory comments but are not deemed to be incorrectly officiated. The league may change its view after further review.

                                              If you have any questions, please reach out to league's office and contact Commissioner Wyatt per following information:

                                              On March 13, 2025 at 5:30PM, league received official facts (i.e. 2 strong brain memories from Rob and Liam, 1 brain "oh yeah... now I remember" from Leo and 0.5 brain "I thought we won 3 games" from Will-I-AM" from Team Low & Go that the team actually defeated R.C.D. in Game 1 of Week 10.  This gave Low & Go a 2W2L night in Week 10 and finished 2nd place with 3 points (by winning the tie breaker against the R.C.D. who also finished Week 10 with 2W2L).  Team Leaderboard ranking also adjusted accordingly. 

                                               


                                              RGAC -- — The Adam Silver & His Happy Friends bounced back strong after losing all games in Week 9, team finished undefeated (4W0L) in Week 10.  With a bit of luck to start their night, Team ASHHF faced the Lulu Legends in their first game; where the Lulu's defensive anchor Vlad the Ukrainian Tractor who is not known for paper-scissors-rock had loss the game and had to give up his position to 1-night contract FA, Unable to Finish Kaiser (who went 2/10 FG).  Already without their team's rebounding leader, Justin, due to over shooter shots and not able to suit up in Week 10, the Lulu also missed Vlad's defensive presence and let the ASHHF defeated them with final score 8-4.  The ASHHF faced their rivalry team, Richmond Crash Dummies in their 2nd game and managed to grind out by beating the Dummies 11-9.  This is a crucial win where after finishing first in Week 10 and beating the R.C.D, now the ASHHF widen the leaderboard gap  a bit at 1st place with 28 points while R.C.D. at 2nd place with 23 points.

                                              The Richmond Crash Dummies led by their 1st overall pick, Jason Shuttleworth with 14 points, 5 assists and 14 rebounds and team leader, Johnny Crash's 15 points managed to finish Week 10 with 2W2L.  Team's PF, Pastor Don, due to God's calling only managed to play 1 game.  Don's absence definitely impacted the team's interior presence; despite league's rebound leader, Ka Ming, finished the night with 18 rebounds (included 11 offensive boards), but it was just not enough.

                                              Lulu Legends and Low & Go each finished with 1W3L but Lulus won the tie-breaker in Game 4, so finished 3rd place in Week 10 with 2 points, which put them in 3rd place at team leaderboard with 22 points and still in striking distance to over take R.C.D. at 2nd place with 23 points or even challenge 1st place ASHHF at 28 points. 

                                              Week 11 would be crucial night where either the ASHHF will run away early to take home the first ever Wyatt O'Sze's trophy or other teams get closer to challenge them.

                                              Takeaway

                                              • Game 7 between Low & Go and Richmond Crash Dummies brought the house down with non-stop back-n-forth scoring between the 2 teams.  L&G's team leader, Leo, scored the league single game high with 17 points (also topped the night in scoring with 21 points total) led the Low & Go to victory with high scoring game, 30-26.

                                              Lulu Legends also came out strong with their physical style of playing despite team's top PER player Taz-Mania Jay being sent to Cancun.  Twin Towers Justin and Vlad anchored the defensive end well, particularly with Vlad the Ukrainian Tractor, grabbing game high 13 boards, including 5 offensive rebounds to give the team multiple second chances.  The multiple offense opportunities also led to Team Captain, Mikey, strong offensive performance who finished the night with 16 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds.  In replacement of Jay, the Lulus also managed to pick up another strong lefty FA, Darren who flirted with a double-double by finishing the night with 8 point sand 10 rebounds.  Team's role players, Kevin and Sunny both contributed; with Kevin finished with 6 points and 5 rebounds while Sneaky Sunny wrapped up the night with 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2  steals.

                                              Takeaway

                                              • With the season two top teams struggled in Week 9, gaps among teams' seeding also closing up.  ASHHF still at 1st with 24 points but now only up 3 points with R.C.D at 2nd place with 21 points, while Lulus caught up at 3rd place with 20 points.  Low & Go might able to give a late season push (after stellar performance in Week 9) despite still at 4th place with 15 points.

                                              RGAC / Feb 25 / S4 Week 8 Game Recap

                                              RGAC -- — Richmond Grizzlies Season 4 Week 8 tip-off was delayed due to fans protest outside the gym after news broke out in early Tuesday morning that after messing up the Dallas Mavericks franchise recently, Nico also stepped into Team Low & Go and decided to put the fans' favorite G-League high profile prospect WILL-I-AM to trading block.  William did not travel with the team in Week 8 and likely be out indefinitely until this mess sort out.  

                                              "It almost feels like he died," said a longtime WILL-I-AM fan. 

                                              "We all in shock!  You just don't touch or trade such a generational talent like this.  Not Will.  Not someone the team invested so much on him from drafting, development and finally made him the starting 5 last week, then a 180 degree turn and put him on trading block."  said by a Richmond Grizzlies league executive.

                                              Week 8 eventually tipped-off after 20 minutes delay with 1st seed ASHHF VS 4th seed Low & Go.  Hot start by 3-point specialist, Owen, and veteran stretch big, Danny, ASHHF opened Game 1 with 10-0 run.  It was already too much of an uphill climb for Low & Go despite the two hot shooters eventually cooled off and ASHHF took Game 1 with final score of 13-6.

                                              When it rains; it pours, after dropping Game 2 to the Lulu Legends, the Richmond Crash Dummies faced the red hot Low & Go in Game 4, which this game also became a crucial tie breaking game for the two teams.  After dropping first game to ASHHF, Low & Go went to a player only meeting immediately and made adjustments.  The Low & Go big 3 came out strong with much better offense/defense flow in Game 4.  Leo (6pts) + Rob (7pts) + Eric (5pts) easily took care on the offense.  Denny and Alvin played hard on D.  The Low & Go blew out the R.C.D with final score of 18-9.  Both teams finished Week 8 with 2W2L.

                                              Takeaway

                                              RGAC / Feb 18 / S4 Week 7 Game Recap

                                              RGAC -- — Four teams round robin formal kicked start Week 7 due to multiple players been sent to Asia Tour, Lulus' leader Mikey being jailed at home for family business and some mid season nagging injuries started to hit players.

                                              The night tipped off with short-handed Lulu Legends VS Richmond Crash Dummies.  With team leader, Mikey, being ruled out, Lulus signed 2 key free agents with 1-night contract, Adrian the Hustler and Commissioner Wyatt Stern.  Adrian did not disappoint Lulu's co-captain, Vlad, who offered him the contract for Week 7.  With his usual high octane energy, Adrian was aggressive on both ends of the floor right from the start and finished the game with 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 steals.  Lulus got their 1st win in week 7 by beating the Richmond Crash Dummies with final score 13-7.  (Unfortunately, Adrian eventually blew his engine by injuring his ankle and finished the night early).

                                              Game 2 featured season top team Adam Silver & His Happy Friends versus Low & Go.  Low & Go started hot and took an early lead with Rob balancing the floor being PG controlling the tempo with 4 assists of the game, while his wing men Leo (finished with 8 points) and Eric (with 3 points) went on attack.  Low & Go also got surprising offense contribution from Will-I-AM (after they promoted him to the starting unit) who finished game 2 with 4 points and 1 rebound.  However, ASHHF eventually stormed back by 4 minutes mark, where team lead Fisk the Freak showing his Point Forward skill by dishing out 6 assists in game 2 and getting his sharp shooters Owen (11 points with 3 treys), Arny (6 points) and Jack (knocking down a dagger 3 point).  ASHHF won game 2 by final score 23-17.

                                              Game 4 was ASHHF turning point where their Point Forward, Fisk, sat out with undisclosed reason (rumors after the game saying he had daddy's duty to handle his sons on the sideline, he might hurt himself back in game 2, and Johnny Crash (who also sat out game 4) put drugs into his water that forced him to washroom...)  Without their key guy to setup plays, ASHHF only got 7 points as a team (despite hot shooting from their 1-night FA, Darren) and dropped game 4 to Richmond Crash Dummies with final score 12-7.  ASHHF also losing Game 5 to the Lulus, despite only getting 60% Jay who knocked down 2 key 3-pointers in this game to widen the lead that ASHHF could not recover and ASHHF loss back-to-back.
