#B25v5South Semis #2 featurs @trillotto and Julius Swerving vs the Railsplitters - both teams surprisingly hovered about .500 but in the playoffs anything can happen, as we just saw!

#B25v5South I can't decide if i'd rather play the double header finals game right after the semis like thhe winner of this game will need to OR get the hour off like the Long Pigs

#B25v5South weird seeing some of the Parlor Sports guys (Kluender and @earvrhartwell) NOT in their infamous PS reds

#B25v5South pretty sure Walter Pawlowski's teammates are cheering 'yeah daddy!' everytime the big man corrals a rebound. Really hope there was a recent addition to his family

#B25v5South While Julius Swerving has the ball there's a lot of standing around and watching someone else go 1v1. not a good sign for the squad and they trail 12-9 early on

#B25v5South Khalid and Ray just 1-7 from downtown for Julius Swerving

#B25v5South I see the Railsplitters plans now. They have a bunch of guys rocking the same numbers and same facial hair to sow confusing and for their poopentents to scramble on D. Walter (who looks like Dan and has the same number as Hyatt) drops 8 points and the team is up 16-9

#B25v5South 8 assists on 10 baskets for the Railsplitters stands in stark contrast to the 1 assist on 6 baskets for JS - its 24-13 for a reason right now

#B25v5South Julius Swerving gets Jim Birrell involved and good things start happening. Khalid and Will both feed him for easy buckets

#B25v5South back to back 3s by the Railsplitters pushes their cushion back to 9 in the blink of an eye. All that hard work by JS wiped out

#B25v5South Khalid with the 4 point play!!!

#B25v5South to loop back to my question at the top of this thread, i definitely would prefer to play back to back. Long Pigs guys are lounging, sipping gatorade and looking really comfortable. I wouldn't want to get loose after that

#B25v5South Railsplitters up 36-32 at the break but momentum definitely on the side of Swerving

#B25v5South Khalid promised his teammates at the half that he wouldn't shoot as poorly again (2-7 from deep) and he's a man of his word, hitting both triples this half

#B25v5South make that 3 for 3! Julius Swerving up 46-41

#B25v5South after dropping a pretty dime to @earvrhartwell, Khalid hits his fourth 3 pointer of the half - he is in complete control of this game now - 53-47 JS with 14 to go

#b25v5South this is only a 6 point game but the Railsplitters are now the team that is in disarray - they need to regroup

#B25v5South 6 minutes left and we've got a 3 point game!

#B25v5South Jabril with a steal at half court and races away for the lay-up. Huge play for JS and the lead is up to 5

#B25v5South @danpwood for 3 !! Railsplitters down just a point as Khalid is looking to answer on the other end

#B25v5South he can't, a rare miss from downtown this half. Nattie White gets an O Board put back to give the Railsplitters their first lead since early 2nd half

#B25v5South swarming JS D forces the Railsplitters to use their last time out. They've got the 1 point lead with the ball but are OUT of TOs the rest of the way. 1:19 left

#B25v5South @trillotto comes out of the time out with a steal! JS ball

#B25v5South JS comes up empty but the Railsplitters turn the ball over AGAIN!! JS ball with 50 seconds left

#B25v5South Jabril's mid range J just barely rolls out and big man Nattie White heads to the FT line (he missed the front end of a 1&1)

#B25v5South Julius Swerving with the ball about to come out of a TO down 1 and 15.6 left on the clock! This possession is to get to the Finals (that start in 5 minutes!!)

#B25v5South @trillotto draws a foul going to the hole!!

#B25v5South will hits 1 of 2 but @_Birrell comes up with a steal in the scramble that ensues. JS with the ball and 3 seconds to go the lenght of the court to avoid OT!

#B25v5South OVERTIME!!!

#B25v5South clock stops @ 1 minutes - 1 time out each way - fouls stay the same!

#B25v5South Railsplitters captain Ben Shwartz with a HUGE 3 to start OT

#B25v5South and now we play the free throw game

#B25v5South Railsplitters up 71-69 with 4 seconds left. Nattie White heads to the line ...

#B25v5South he misses not but Otto’s desperation heave from halfcourt is off the mark! Ben Shwartz scores all 8 of the splitters points in OT
