6 Ft Over has hit a skid not seen since the days of the competitive league. Losers in 3 of their past 4 games 6 Ft Over again struggled to get stops. Team "Crafty" scorched 6 Ft Over in Game 2 easily shooting above 70% from the field.
"They were just a bad match up for us", guard Justin Hasenmiller mumbled to the press following the loss.
It appeared as if 6 Ft Over had a distinct advantage in talent while they breezed through team "Crafty" 13-8 in the opener. Aaron Shupert led the way in Game 1 as he demonstrated a surprisingly soft touch from the outside. Shupert sported a Allen Iverson like black shooting sleeve on his right arm and credited it for his improved accuracy from beyond 3 feet.
Game 2 was a different story. Team "Crafty" scored on 6 straight possessions to take a commanding 9-2 lead before 6 Ft Over knew what had hit them. The squad mounted a minor comeback to make things interesting. A Jeff Reiners jumper closed the gap to 12-10 but that was as close as it got.
The local press is circulating a rumor that a few members of 6 Ft Over may be on the trading block ahead of the Week 7 trade deadline. Reiners dismissed the rumors as "ridiculous" but a source close to the situation reported that there is an offer on the table involving 3 teams, cash considerations and a rack of new basketballs.
