PC Hoopstarz take on the NBA

[Deleted member 13648]

Hitting our shots from deep & getting to the foul-line is the difference. Need more hustle in transition though to cut down their fast-break buckets.

Nice presentation too, excellent stuff.

good to see us leading, although most of our work was done in the 1st quarter we need to keep up and try to beat the pacers in each quarter.

Killer update. The videos look too good. And if it isn't an issue, I'd prefer watching more videos per game.

 

[Varun]

I try to incorporate more similar videos into one highlight.

Also, until The Rock is back, any matches played will have his 21 minutes spread out among Akshay and Yudi.

Screeshots - The Pressbook

Dwayne Johnson and his aggressive side.

Review : PC Hoopstarz succumbed during the second half due to a reason that might manifest itself in all new teams in any league - experience. And the Pacers took the best advantage of it. They fouled more, for they had already deciphered the weakness of the Hoopstarz on the free throw lines. Granger, who didn't quite perform in the first quarter, came to his usual self, and triggered plenty of turnovers for Hoopstarz, some of them though, were their own mistakes. Despite all, though, Culli tried his best, ending up with 22 points, 8 assists and 4 steals. Madhur and Hedger contributed substantial amounts too. But the experience was clearly missing, as it was seen in the second half.

Nevertheless it was a practice match. Captain Madhur Verma commented in the press conference, "It's just a practice match. We'll try to analyze our faults and improve in those areas. That's just what practice matches are for." which clearly is testimonial to the team's perseverance and maturity. Next stop is Golden State, we will all be excited to see what happens there!​

Awwwh man it was quite close till the end it seems. I guess we can improve with games to come!

 

[AkshayC]

WTF! We lost after being ahead in first two quarter.The misery continued from 3rd & 4th but nevertheless as Madhur said

"It's just a practice match. We'll try to analyze our faults and improve in those areas. That's just what practice matches are for."

Ouch. -20; I'm killing the teams teamwork according to that stat. We ALL need to limit those turnovers too.

 

[riz7khan12]

wow, granger certainly turned his luck around. i had a slight feeling this would happen, we just couldn't keep up in the end.

 

[hedger_14]

Wait, what is the +/- stat.

Decent game from myself though, 15 points with 5/8 in the field and 2/4 3 pointers. A few rebounds, assists and steals to go with that as well as only making one TO. Culli ripped it up though with 22 points, 8 assists and 4 steals.

 

[MaD]

Yea what is it?

Anyway, it was a close game, lucky it's just a practice, hopefully we can do better next time...
Need to work on defence
