Great week in minor league basketball, it begins with a reporter getting tossed for a bogus reason and ends with a team getting tossed for a bogus reason.

Did you reach out to threepop?

Hopefully Sauk Valley and Bloomington can find a quality league to land in next year, both teams are very well run and deserve a league that is also.

:infun:

Yeah kinda hard to keep a straight face about a well run league.

in minor league is good business Sam. Plus they played good basketball.
I think this is on the league....[/quote]

Bloomington beat the Chicago Fury (ABA) last Friday. From their website:

The Flex, flat after an emotional couple of days, overcame a slow start and early seven-point deficit to beat the Fury 123-104 in front of 1,843 fans at U.S. Cellular Coliseum on a night billed as “Community Appreciation Night.”

The Fury agreed to play the game less than twelve hours before tipoff, after the night’s original opponent, the Chicago Steam of the ABA, withdrew at the request of ABA head Joe Newman because the team was participating in the ABA championship series next week in Shreveport, La.


Also, the Steam beat the Fury twice by an average of 28 points so I think it would have been a much more competitive game.

The lines between the ABA and the PBL get blurrier every year.

Not just the PBL, everyone but the D-League seems to be devolving to ABA levels.

Speaking of the ABA, a little birdie told me that the Summer Showcase (you know, 8 cities, NBA and foreign scouts, TV and video coverage, etc) has fallen by the wayside...

Just like the Snoop Dogg tour, the world league and the numerous national TV deals.
