Comeback heard around the World!!!

It started with “See you there Jon”, the infamous last words of Christopher ‘Smitty’ Smith. It ended with the greatest comebacks in Allen Stephensen Wednesday Night 6-8pm time slot Jewish pickup basketball history…

G2 Smitty, Josh Deutsche, Jay Braunstein, and Joey Barile

vs.

Original Gatorade Dorf, Goffin, Dougy Crane, and Nealllllllll

Game 1 was won in a hard fought battle by G2 8-7, this was the start of the series that rivals the Federer / Nadal Wimbledon battle!!!

Game 2 was once again won by G2 8-6 as they continued to play GREAT team defense by not allowing any easy hoops…They looked like the Pistons of the late 80’s, even when Smitty was called out for yelling “foul him” he offered no apologies, instead saying “what, should we let him score”???? Fair question SMit.

Game 3 Original Gatorade vowed to win after returning to their home court, even guaranteeing it, well like MO Williams they were wrong and G2 pulled ahead 3-0…Again the words “see you there Jon” were murmured by Mr. Smith…Well, what happens next went kinda like this…

Game 4 Original Gatorade came out gunning, with Neal hitting an opening layup the FIRST easy hoop of the night…it continued with Dorf & Crane hitting Jumpers and Goff controlling the boards…Outcome 8-2 Originals….

Game 5 well it was much of the same as a stunned G2 team couldn’t get over the embarrassment of game 4 and Original blasting them 8-4…You could start to see the belief in these young mens faces…And the sold out crowd chanting BEAT G2 BEAT G2, was the send off they needed as they had to go back to the unfriendly confines of Low Calorie Stadium.

Game 6 back at home, G2 had their confidence restored with Josh Deutsch absolutely lighting up a tired Jon Dorfman…HOWEVER, this wouldn’t be enough as finally the Originals won the close one 8-7…Can they do it, will they do it????

Game 7 started at 7:51, with the 8pm crew breathing down our necks this was a fast paced no rest game…1/1, 2/2…Are you guys almost finished…3/3…4/4…Seriously you guys almost done…Next hoops wins no lets play to 6…The rest as they say is History… Final score 6 – 4 in a time shortened finally!!!!
