UPSETTING UPSETS?!

(THIS WEEK'S ANTHEM)

 

Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for picking up another edition of Almaris Bucketball. I am, as always, your dutiful commentator and author Martie Lickman. This week was choked full of unsuspecting upsets and some very violent reactions. To add to the fires, literally, the monks that usually referee ABA games are still on strike. The ABA Commissioners are actively trying to reach a new contract with them but the biggest concern is over their safety, which the ABA cannot guarantee and is not liable for. Hopefully, by next week, they will be back and the bad calls we are seeing this week will go away. In other news, Rozania and Vortice have been in formal talks to merge the teams following this season to avoid relegation of the latter. This would also allow for them to keep their developing team of players out of the ABAD. But, that aside, let's get on to this week in the ABA, upsets and all!

Providence Vigilants - Freeport Pigeons

Starting off this week we saw Providence in shock as the Vigilants lost to a team of literal birds. The Pigeons, with their first win in three weeks, managed to score three arch rushes, pushing past the elderly Erik Othaman. What can we really say besides the fact that Providence has a well-paid team but their talent is slowly declining. New faces are gonna need to be brought on besides Erik and the Susa Boys. They still cling on to fourth place, but that could change if these losses continue. As for the Pigeons, this win doesn't do too much for them. Their game against the Bucks next week will set the pace for how they do towards the end of the season.

Kal'Darakaan Miners - Karosgrad Crows

Reeling from their lost last week against the mischievous Foxes, the Miners went into this game to face off against a stalwart team in the Crows. The game was relatively even across the first half, with Agnar Ireheart being countered pretty heavily by Klaus Barclay. Nonetheless, the Miners seem to have been thrown off by a stellar performance of the Marching Crows, the Crows' marching band. With an empowering song, the Crows managed to inspire their team and score a last second field shot from Rhys Ruthern. The Grand King could be heard throwing things in the locker room after the game, but the Crows spent the night drinking in wagons bound back north. This leaves both teams in second place in their respective conferences and tied for first.

Du Loc Flames - Elysium Foxes

In a last second move, the Foxes tried to convince the stand-in referees to move the game to the Cloud Temple because of impractical weather conditions in Du Loc. Despite their best arguments, the monks actually did know there are no weather restrictions in bucketball and let the game commence. It was close throughout the showing, but Isaac Jebediah stood apart from the other Flames as he racked up a solid twenty-seven points in the field and under intense coverage in the arch. Despite the loss for the Foxes, they are ahead of the Krugs by points. But a win for the Krugs and a loss for them could spell the end of their playoff run. The Flames, on the other hand, sit tidily above the Vigilants in the East and look to clinch a spot in the playoffs.

Haelun'or Purifiers - Vortice Krakens

The Krakens have replaced their Head Coach with Lenora Jusima and the growing pains appear to be starting. While training up the team to try and avoid relegation, the Krakens drained a lot of their energy for this week's game on the Silver Isle. There, the Purifiers managed to walk around most of the usually decent players, including Nero Medii'la. However, rumors still exist that the Krakens may buy out or merge with the Rabbits to avoid relegation and maintain most of their developing talent. Next week the Krakens have the face the first-place Dunes so it isn't looking much better, but at least they do not have to worry much about relegation if this Rozanian deal goes through the Commissioners.

Fakhr Dunes - San Luciano Saints

The Saints took a short trip down to the oasis this week and came back with a narrow victory. However, some Dune fans are arguing that the replacement referees made terrible mistakes throughout the game, including calling four corner shots out of bounds, and hence invalidating them. Head Coach Murad was seen protesting these calls before being ejected by the quarrelsome ABAD referees. The Saints, with Herakles and Istvan leading, managed to sneak out a win as Istvan blocked a layup arch rush by Zaina Al-Hamad. Despite the loss the Dunes retain their first position, just now the Miners stand poised to take it from them. The Saints, on the other hand, are in third in their conference and hoping to cling on long enough for the playoffs in seven weeks.

Talus Grove Druids - Iron Uzg Krugs

The Krugs were not so amused after last week's loss to the Dunes, and their blind rage was not short-lived. This week they came into a close game against the Druids which went into an overtime period of fifteen minutes. From there the referees bungled several calls and even missed an entire bucket scored by the orcish players. After the period had expired, and the Krugs had lost by one, all constraints were off. Krugs' players and fans took to rioting and even managed to burn down the Druids' bucket and field. Next week the Krugs' horde will arrive at wherever the Rabbits are playing and we can only hope for their safety and a Krug win, or else it might be another bloody match. Regardless, the Krugs have time to recover but it will be close to see if they make it to the playoffs.

Rozania Rabbits - Yong Ping Dragons

The Rabbits have invented an interesting strategy this week. It is what they called 'Beg and Buy.' Rabbits players took to begging on the streets of cities and then brought back the funds to buy mercenaries to pad their ranks this week. The tactic actually did payoff as the mercenaries were enough of a brutal force to topple Lanqui multiple times throughout the game. Rather the Dragons thought this week would be easier or if they wasted so much of their energy just trying to find the random field Rozania calls home these days, either way they ended up with a tough loss and stand only two more losses away from dropping out of the playoff pool position. Doubly unlucky, they are facing the Beserkers next week.

Varhelm Beserkers - Elvenesse Bucks

The Berserkers tipped off against the Bucks this week and an upsetting upset caused Berserkermania to put their fourth loss of the season on their record. It is amazing to think that they had a nine game win streak going, the longest in ABA history for sure. However, High Prince Evar'tir Oranor made it clear at the beginning of the game that a loss for the Bucks would be unacceptable. He put an impressive thirty-three points in the field and in the corners but left the more aggressive arch to his other players. The Beserkers seemed dazed by the onslaught of the weaker team and were caught off guard. Now, the only thing standing between them and the Crows is less than a twenty point surplus. Next week they head to Yong Ping to see if they can retain their first place spot in the West.

Mera Camian proceeded to violently bludgeon the nearest elf with a snack bucket from the concession stand, being something of a sore loser. However, in a stroke of luck, the elf in question was more than happy to indulge the fight, and the two went on to settle their differences and go their separate ways thereafter, presumably becoming pen pals.

A chef dawned in armor sports his stripped Flames apron, smiling as he feeds his favorite team snacks and a winner's meal. As he cooks, he hums this week's bucketball song. "We're great, and you suck. We're great, and you SUCK!(You suck!)"
