D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 21 Recap (Tuesday, June 17, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Smallfries Win a Shootout, Kings Knights Go Nuclear, and southpaw army Hits Rock Bottom (Again)
With playoff races tightening, Day 21 was explosive. Smallfries and Village Idiots delivered fireworks, while Kings Knights dropped 140. Meanwhile, southpaw army’s collapse somehow got even worse.

Smallfries Outgun Village Idiots in Instant Classic, 129–118
This was a game loaded with pace, scoring, and hustle. C. Calderón (20–9–5 steals) was everywhere, and G. Bandeira poured in 34 points and 11 rebounds. Despite a strong 29–20 effort from E. Irwin, the Idiots fell just short in a game that could shift seeding.

Flying Ostriches Hold Off Blue Ocean, Stay Alive
L. Yanzhao was sensational with 36 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals as the Ostriches fended off Blue Ocean 106–100. It was a must-win for both, and Ostriches executed better down the stretch. Blue Ocean now sits on the brink of elimination.

Wasted Potential Cruise Past Mambas
It wasn’t pretty, but it didn’t need to be. Wasted Potential took care of business with an 85–67 win over The White Mambas, who continued to struggle offensively. G. Paciente logged all 48 minutes in a solid two-way performance.

Kings Knights Drop 140, southpaw Drops 33 (Yes, 33)
This might be the biggest point differential of the season. Kings Knights were surgical and suffocating. G. Short helped lead a dominant team effort on both ends. Meanwhile, southpaw army’s offensive dysfunction somehow worsens with every game.

Big Forest Upsets Baker Street Irregulars
A surprise result, as Big Forest played one of their most complete games all season to beat Baker Street 108–92. T. Shi Wan had a block party with 6 rejections, and the Irregulars looked out of sync in all four quarters.

SomeTeam Continues Surge with Statement Win Over Harbor City
This team is catching fire at the right time. SomeTeam routed Harbor City 112–90 behind a brilliant playmaking display from M. Ramasodi (14 assists). Everyone chipped in, and they now look like a serious playoff sleeper.

Wavy Gates Keep Rolling, Beat Mildcats Comfortably
Wavy Gates methodically pulled away from Corntucky in a 90–70 win. I. Marcos was a defensive wall with 19 rebounds, 4 steals, and 4 blocks. This is not the same team from early season—Wavy has turned the corner.

TAR HEELS #1 Grind Out Win vs. Hooligans
TAR HEELS maintained their solid form with a gritty 91–69 victory. Nothing flashy, just tough defense, rebounding, and tempo control. Hooligans tried to hang in but were overwhelmed by consistent pressure and smart execution.

Key Takeaways
• Smallfries’ depth and hustle are real weapons in big games.
• Kings Knights are terrifying. Period.
• Flying Ostriches saved their season—for now.
• Blue Ocean and southpaw army are sliding at the worst possible time.
• Wavy Gates, TAR HEELS, and SomeTeam are peaking late.
• Village Idiots are still dangerous—but need to clean up defense.
• Big Forest might just play spoiler in the final round.

The Ugly
• H. Hanning (southpaw army): 0 points, 1 rebound, -12 efficiency.
• southpaw army as a unit: 33 total points. That’s not a typo.
• Turnover-prone performances from T. Ococoi, B. Dooley, and Z. Kincaid.
• Baker Street Irregulars’ playoff momentum? Possibly derailed.

Final Word:
Day 21 shook the standings. With one round left, seeding battles, late-season surges, and collapses are reaching their peak. Expect chaos next game day—everyone’s season hangs in the balance.

D.II.1 – Season 68: Day 22 Recap (Saturday, June 21, 2025)
by Buzzer-Manager

Final Day Madness: Ostriches Win Thriller, Blue Ocean Shocks Friez, and Wasted Potential Crushes Knights’ Perfect Finish
The regular season is officially over—and what a finale it was. Day 22 delivered everything: statement wins, playoff previews, and bracket-shaking upsets. Flying Ostriches edged Village Idiots in a 140–136 stunner, Blue Ocean brought the Smallfries back down to earth, and Wasted Potential denied Kings Knights an undefeated finish.

Now? It’s win-or-go-home time.

Ostriches and Idiots Deliver a Final-Day Classic
Flying Ostriches and Village Idiots gave fans a season finale for the ages, combining for 276 points in a frantic, high-stakes shootout. The Ostriches showed poise in crunch time, outlasting the Idiots 140–136 in what felt more like a playoff semifinal than a regular game. Neither team leaves this one unchanged.

Blue Ocean Douses the Smallfries’ Fire
Blue Ocean closed the season on a high note, stunning the red-hot Smallfries 122–109. Calhoun was everywhere, Silva dominated the glass, and just like that, the league’s most explosive offense looked vulnerable. The Friez enter the playoffs rattled—not broken, but no longer untouchable.

Kings Knights Fall—Wasted Potential Rises
The Kings Knights’ bid for a perfect regular season ends at 21–1, courtesy of a gritty 83–81 upset by Wasted Potential. Choate anchored the defense with 9 blocks, and WP played playoff-style basketball to close it out. It’s a reminder: anyone can be beaten, even the top seed.

TAR HEELS Lock In, Wavy Gates Limp Out
TAR HEELS #1 closed the regular season with a confident 103–88 win over Wavy Gates, continuing their quiet climb into contender status. Meanwhile, Wavy ends the season with more questions than answers—and not much time to solve them.

Mambas Feast… But It’s Just southpaw
The White Mambas exploded for 128 points and 45 assists—but it came against the league’s weakest defense, southpaw army, who posted just 45 points in yet another collapse. For the Mambas, it’s a much-needed morale boost. For southpaw, a mercy ending.

Storm Blasts Forest, Irregulars Survive, Cats Claw Hooligans
Harbor City Storm and Big Forest ended the season with a track meet, Storm taking it 135–119. The Irregulars squeaked past SomeTeam 71–69 in a rough-and-tumble brawl. Meanwhile, Corntucky Mildcats edged Hemet Hooligans in a battle of muscle, Gossard leading with a 30–21 double.

Key Takeaways Heading Into the Playoffs:
• Flying Ostriches are red-hot and ready.
• Kings Knights are still #1—but no longer invincible.
• Smallfries need to reset fast after a humbling loss.
• Blue Ocean just became a dark horse.
• Wasted Potential may be peaking at the perfect time.
• Mambas padded the stat sheet, but playoffs won’t be this easy.
• Irregulars escape with a win—and perhaps their rhythm.
• The bracket is set, and anything can happen.

Final Word:
The regular season closed in chaos. Day 22 shook up assumptions, momentum, and seedings. Every team now heads into the postseason knowing one thing: nothing is guaranteed. The top is no longer safe, and the bottom isn’t quiet.

The playoffs begin now. Buckle up.
