Championship Game Preview

The rivalry between these two teams is getting intense

The rivalry between these two teams is getting intense. They are not just fighting for the 2014 Championship, but for the most dominant team in the Modern Era of BTSH.


Lets get to it

Clearly, these are the two best franchises in BTSH. Since 2007, 8 seasons…both teams have made the semi-finals 7 times. That’s insane. This will be the Hookers 5th time in the finals in 8 seasons, and FK 4th. They played each other in the finals in 2008. It was the first year of the Modern Era of BTSH, but this is hardly a rematch as Fresh Kills is a lot different than their 2008 little brother. The Hookers are different as well but Fresh Kills was a gigantic underdog in that game. They won’t be this year.

Why Fresh Kills Will Win

  • Gabe is the best player on the court. He hustles, has great stickhandling, and if you over compensate against his stick handling he has one of the quickest and deadliest releases in the league. If you over compensate against the shot he can stickhandle around you. Quite simply, if he wasn’t such a nice guy you would hate him. 
  • Someone asked me, “If Fresh Kills took away Gabe, how good would they be?” The answer is they’d be good enough to still be here. This is not a one-player team. What truly makes them unbeatable to the masses, is how well-rounded they are. Every one of their players is competitive, and getting good scoring chances on FK is as rare as the Capitals making the playoffs when there isn’t a Southeast Division anymore. (Julie/Ellery/Yang, this does not count as my troll for October)
  • Their goalie Barch, their girls and their role players are all unheralded but good enough to be scooped up by almost any team if they were free agents. Patrick has come along way since he first started in 2010, when he was good but nervous. He’s a big game goalie but I don’t understand why he’s turned on the Gaslight Anthem.

Why the Hookers will Win

  • We had our shot, and either missed, or not everyone saw it. OK, elephant in the website. Math Scored. At least that’s what 90% of the people I spoke to told me. (There are a few doubters) The Sky Fighters got them into a shootout and Math may have scored in OT, and even if they didn’t they had many chances. Only Craig and Elly will get this reference, because nobody else watches baseball in this league, but if you want to get to Glavine or Maddux (or 2013 Verlander…ok Craig???) you get to them early. You have them on the ropes in the first two innings, put your foot on their throats. We as a league had the Hookers on the ropes. But they escaped. And now they know.
  • Tiffany and Sarah are probably the two best girls in the league. While they wont have as big of an advantage going against the Fresh Kills girls as they would vs. other teams, they still have an advantage. Noelle will miss the game due to running the NYC Marathon, but Jackie and Anshu are smart and will not be easy pickings for Fresh Kills. If Noelle loses the NYC Marathon she is dead to me. Do not congratulate her for finishing. I could too. You put one foot in front of the other, not a big deal. 
  • While Fresh Kills best player is Gabe, who is the Hookers best player? There are just too many to choose from. The Hookers have more people that are more likely to put the ball in the net than FK does. 
  • Dustin.

Prediction

As Randy Locklair would say, "This. Salad. Nicole."

As Randy Locklair would say, “This.” Then he would probably eat a salad while Nicole eats steak.

Here’s the thing. The Hookers I feel are the better team. When the playoffs started, I thought they would win. But after the Sky Fighters game, I switched to FK because I thought Math would pull off a great upset and then lose to FK in the finals. I just feel Fresh Kills is going to want this game more than the Hookers do. They are going to out-hustle the Hookers and the talent gap isn’t a big enough margin for the Hookers to escape. 3-1 for Fresh Kills and they cement themselves as the most dominant team in BTSH history in the Modern Era. 

Jesus Dave calm down man! OK...whoever wins will be the 2nd best team in the Modern Era next to SB!
