e-FISH-ent


Reading, MA - The Celtics weren't "The Celtics" Thursday night, as they squared off against Origins Unknown. Unfortunately, they were missing two or three of their top producers, and came to play with only four members. OU seized the opportunity and shook off a sluggish first half to pull away from the undermanned Celtics by 20+ points.

Leading the way in his return from a missed game was Danger Dan Fisher, who's efficient shooting and boundless energy led the OU attack. He scored at least 20 first-half points on scorching hot shooting from the floor. Everything was going down for the fisherman - pull-ups, jumpers, and drives. Fisher wasn't alone, however.

With all six teammates together for the first time in a while, each player took turns doing their part in the win. James "Stretch" Hogan IV and Chris "Big" Johnson controlled the middle on both offense and defense, while Shu-ter Patel and Dr. Greg Robinson worked their mid-range games to perfection. Patel, in particular heated up for several minutes at a time, dropping jumpers late in the game as the contest became out of reach. Cap'n Mike helped coordinate some fast breaks, and went from being stone cold to mildly warm when faced with several open three pointers. "I didn't even want to shoot them," said Cap'n, "But, Big Johnson and Shu-ter were setting screens that blocked my defender out of the picture for several minutes at a time." "It's amazing what '500 lbs of Love' (the duo's new nickname) can do for a struggling shooter!"

OU takes on newcomer Bada-Bing next week in the late, late game.

Cap'n Mike didn't make any trips to the line in the game. He remains 0-1 for the season - Enjoy Mr. Anonymous.

Cap'n needs to be more aggressive and go to the basket in order to get to the line. For kicks and giggles!
