Thanks to 254 and 78 for being fantastic partners! It was great to finally get to work with you, and we definitely want to do it again. I am very sorry that we let you down; our shooter started having traction issues as soon as elims started (due to wear and/or the bizarre new balls that they introduced for elims that did not feel like ANY ball we had fired all season), and by the finals we were frantically trying to re-apply grip tape so our accuracy would get back to normal. But we were rushed, and couldn't find the timeout ticket in time, so the repair was not effective. The world saw what we could do when we were all clicking (128 points, foul-free), which makes it sting that much worse...
Congrats to 233, 987, and 207 for winning the division and being World Finalists! 987, you guys were the definition of consistency. 233, you really turned up your game in the elims! 207, you played incredible defense. It is a damned shame what happened on Einstein, and I know that I'll forever be wondering what could have been.
