Except the first and fifteenth pretty much

Didn't play flawless in Social semis, but I don't think perfect play from me would have had us in the Finals. Our ladies ran savage, Sonny wasn't there, and the other handlers would prefer to throw a stall 8 desperation huck than dump it to me when I was poach calling for it. I did make a pretty sick layout grab but that was about it.

It was 8-7 in our favor in the finals, and the other team decided they wanted to win and we didn't. We jogged on defense, didn't respect their hucks, and didn't focus.

I got pissed off after they went up 12-8, went on, got scored on, and told the line (who was entirely B-line) "If we are going to lose, let's not lose like this" and we went on a roll and got a few points from capitalizing on White's turns and got to 13-11 Then most of the A-line came on, played lazy ( "I think they are going to give us this game"), and we lost 15-11.

We expected them to roll over, and they didn't. They wanted to win. We didn't.

At least I learned something.
