On the whole the level of play from Season 9 was better than in years past. This game more than makes up for anything the looks remotely like competitive basketball and really shows the heights that the glorious AFBL is capable of. Two teams filled with “talent” play a game to 16. This seems simple enough. When the teams shoot a combined 20.3% from the floor you know things are rough. Add to that, 18 turnovers (6 more than made field goals) and great love for the three-point line (22.2% – 4 for 18) you get a really sloppy game. People who usually play well are brought down the the lowest common level. Ethan Conner-Ross was 2 for 8 and had 5 turnovers. John Freeborn was 0 for 7 from the three-point line. Jon Hummel was 0 for 4 for two’s (he did make 2 of 3 from behind the three-point line). There were plenty of rebounds to be had, 46 in all. Steals were also plentiful (11). For your viewing pleasure, I’ve uploaded the disastrous video to viddler for the whole world to see. I am proud to say that I was a part of it.
