1st quarter
0:02 -- just got back from jazzercize class, sorry I missed the 1st quarter.
0:01 -- 18 FT attempts by EDH against the Contortionists in the first quarter alone... bad sign?

2nd quarter:
11:14 -- EDH takes a timeout. The refs need a break from all that whistle blowing!
9:30 -- The refs make a mistake and call a shooting foul on the wrong team? First FT attempt by the Contortionists all game. Uh oh... no soup for you? (boo-yah?)
6:45 -- A non-shooting foul? What has the world come to?
1:40 -- Mandatory 30 second timeout taken by the Contortionists, so a promo of Franklin & Bash can be shown.

Half Time
15 straight minutes of Franklin & Bash promos. Hey, one's a lawyer. & the other's a... lawyer... hilarity ensues.
injury update -- Ángel Rocha has left the building & will not return.

3rd quarter
10:49 -- 6 point lead for the EDH Wolves.
9:25 -- lead down to 2 points. It's a 1 possession game!
6:15 -- Herbert Dušak can't buy a bucket
5:33 -- Dejan Sanković can't buy one either
4:26 -- big surprise! Contortionists in the penalty, EDH 0 fouls
1:36 -- first blocked shot of the game! the Wolves with the rejection
0:58 -- Contortionists with a block of their own.
0:45 -- a 3rd block! what kind of party is it?

11:07 -- 77-59... EDH Wolves & the referees with a commanding lead
8:14 -- Herbert Dušak plows his way over Hafiz Bdeir . how embarrassing
4:40 -- lead back up to 18
2:20 -- don't look now, but lead down to 12
1:40 -- Nima Soltani just flipped off his hometown fans following a powerful dunk
0:01 -- remember how I warned of the untrustworthy Sebastián Augusto Caffa? He's been accused of helping European blood doper Dejan Sanković obtain EPO
0:00 -- the Contortionists tried to get tricky and played look inside. they need to look inside their soul & ask themselves why they did that..

23 FT's or whatever is a great success. I just hope no one catches me for bribing the ref's to get it down that far.

The EDH Doctor, Leroy Pickett, immediately took Angel Rocha the locker room and got a quick scan on his ankle; it does not appear to be a break but Dr Pickett brought out an herbal packet and wrapped it inside of the applied bandage. When queried on the subject he stated that it was an old aboriginal remedy. Privately, officials are hoping that Angel is not asked to pee in a bottle.....

18 attempts in the first quarter was a little excessive.

Will EDH do the right thing & suspend Nima Soltani for the next game? I suspect not.

Live Blog, Season 16 Finals Game 2:

1st quarter
9:51 -- over 2 minutes played and not a single foul? Am i in the right arena?
6:01 -- turns out i was at the right arena, but was facing the wrong way
5:15 -- Darien Maroto viciously fouled on a 3 point attempt on what should have been a flagrant 2. Looks like he's out for the remainder of the game.
3:08 -- EDH "bad boy" Nima Soltani commits his 2nd foul of the game. He's clearly upset about all the 3pters given up.
1:11 -- 27-25 Contortionists over the Wolves. Fouls even at 4
0:44 -- wow, Evaristo Pérez has just been kicked in the groin and elbowed in the face on a drive to the hole. It appears he has a concussion and will not return.

2nd quarter
11:35 -- despite having 2 starters injured, the Contortionists still have a 2 point lead.
10:37 -- absolutely stunning; Wolves forced to call a timeout after falling behind by 9
10:01 -- rooting for the EDH Wolves is like rooting for cancer
7:59 -- Tomasino Adaos just took a swing at a fan court-side wearing a Contortinsts jersey. Why is he not ejected?
4:24 -- Contortionists lead by 6
1:34 -- How much longer can the Contortionists hold off the Wolves?
0:04 -- Wolves take a 2 point lead on a 3 point make

Half Time
Franklin & Bash... the guy from Saved by the Bell is a lawyer! How crazy is that? Have you heard about this show yet?
injury update -- Darien Maroto and Evaristo Pérez are both unlikely to return. EDH players let out an audible cheer after hearing the news.

3rd quarter
10:27 -- Contortionists still hanging around, only down 3
7:05 -- Wolves looking very sloppy, down 4
5:52 -- The devil loves Prado; 3pt shot extends Contortionists lead to 7
4:26 -- Prado again! It's a double digit lead for the Contortionists!
2:46 -- Stunning; the Wolves have been outscored 28-11 in the 3rd quarter
0:02 -- Wolves cut the lead back down to 10

4th quarter
11:04 -- it's slipping away for the Contortionists, lead down to 4
9:35 -- Wolves within 2
6:38 -- Contortionists with a flurry, turn a 1 point deficit into a 4 point lead
4:36 -- all even at 99
3:27 -- Kartlos Skhirtladze has dominated the 4th quarter with his sheer presence alone. Can the Contortionists maintain the lead with him on the bench?
1:59 -- 2 minutes to go, 2 point lead. Can the Contortionists hang on?
0:59 -- With Kartlos on the bench the Wolves have taken the lead
0:37 -- Kartlos re-enters the game, the Contortionists hit a 3 to cut the lead to 2
0:25 -- Kartos removed from the game, Wolves get defensive stop
0:00 -- Brad LoBianco just clothes-lined Van Odonnell with no time remaining. The Wolves are beyond classless

I knew the EDH Wolves wanted to win...but I didn't think they would cheat. I hope those cheaters love beating up on poor foreign boys.

Meyer plays Jared Franklin, who loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets, while Gosselaar plays Peter Bash, who has a knack for connecting with jury and judge. Van Der Beek, last seen on NBC’s Mercy, will play Nathan Connor, Peter’s ex-girlfriend’s fiance. Nathan hires Peter after his bachelor party gets too wild in a hotel.
