First Half: Cheadle made a sharp start and quickly went into the lead with Matt A on top form.
But then CT relaxed and let the Allstars back into the game - their #2 seemed to be able to go where he wanted on the court, and he wanted to go to the basket and score, walking through a sleepy CT defense. It looked like the DAs were getting back into the game with the score at 13:10.
CT pulled back when, after the refs didn't allow a basket, Sean went on the rampage and made 3 in a row to bring the half time score to 19:10.
Second Half: DA came out fighting and and again manage to make points against a Cheadle defense that was often laid-back and careless - "Wake up" cries were coming from the rowdy element on the supporters bench.
But CT kept well ahead with Joe getting his class act together towards the end to boost the final score to 34:20.
Pros and Cons: Yes, it was a fairly easy win for CT, but DA are a new team and should have been struggling to get into double figures.
CT all played well in attack with good passing and co-ordinated plays that often left DA behind. But the team was lazy in defense. And DA's #2 should have been isolated - when he got near the basket he scored.
DA are an agressive team and most of them have good ball skills. They easily exploited openings in CT defense. But they're new and they're not playing a team game yet. When they start to do that, we might get a nasty surprise.Watch out for #2, (tall slim kid with fair hair - numbers may change).
Funniest moment: The dazed look on Karl's face when DA #10 nutmegged him. "Where did dat ball go?" Look behind you, Karl!
Commiserations: to Matt F. Chicken pox is no joke. He'll be itching to get back.
And a Clarke Kent Award to Josh for his flying leap towards the end of the game. Ouch.
