My Picks
Naga
Ujung Pandang Warriors (2-3) at Anchorage Northern Lights (2-3)
- The Delta Force one-two punch meets up in this one. I got to go with the Lights but I may be setting myself up for a nasty right hook. Lights by 3.
Palembang Drunken Monks (3-2) at Bali Insurrection (2-3)
- After a whooping handed out by the Warriors, the Insurrection may want to take a look at their chemistry. Oh shit, it’s 100. Monks by 17.
Portland Dirty Penguins (5-0) at Beijing Black Dragons (3-2)
- Trap game? Naw, not when these newbies are still trying to gain respect. Penguins by 14.
Surabaya Heroes (2-3) at Cambodia Mountain Men (5-0)
- The Mountain Men have had this one circled on their calendars for a whole season. Just hope they realize that it is that time of the month. Mountain Men by 17.
Manila Warlords (3-2) at Krungthep Garudas (3-2)
- Neither of these teams can afford a 3rd loss if they want to make a 2nd half run at the title. This one has the makings of a “classic.” Warlords by 1.
Bacolod Skullcrushers (1-4) at Mekong Delta Force (3-2)
- That party following the Garuda wins seems so long ago. Talk about a long hangover. The Force get back on the wagon this week. Force by 17.
Winona Warriors (2-3) at Rangoon Flying Tigers (2-3)
- Here come the Warriors. Euphoria will rise as they return from the darkness of an 0-3 start. Warriors by 10.
Da Nang Armageddon (0-5) at Tongduchon Cowboys (1-4)
- In case you didn’t notice, neither of these teams are very good. I think it’s more appropriate to pick a loser rather than a winner. Armageddon (loses) by 21.
Garuda
Myanmar Military Junta (3-2) at Arrowhead Fanatics (3-2)
- Anybody else out there a fan of the Fans? Ah come on, take those bags off your faces, these guys have been playing pretty well. Fanatics by 7.
Oakland Naughty Ottsel (2-3) at Bangalore Monsoon (0-5)
- The Monsoon could use an end to the rainy season about now. No end in sight. Ottsel by 14.
Chiang Mai Gangsters (0-5) at Bangkok Bangers (4-1)
- Gang Bangers and Gangsters. You’d think this would be a pretty good fight. Think again. Bangers by 35.
Tet Offensive (3-2) at Buffalo Rampage (5-0)
- This ain’t no sweatshop this week Tet. These boys don’t need to talk the walk. Rampage by 21.
Sumatra Sting (3-2) at Lea Lea Furniture (5-0)
- Another shot for the Sting at one of the big dogs. Don’t sweat it, we’ll give you more than 3 strikes in dotball. Furniture by 6.
Bangkok Lightning (1-4) at Padang Orangutans (2-3)
- Lightning still haven’t struck twice. The Orangutans hope to keep it that way. Orangutans by 3.
D League Ligers (3-2) at Vietnamese Sweatshop (2-3)
- Pulling for the Ligers in this one. I really don’t think we need another Sweatshop thread. Ligers by 7.
Batdambang Killer Koalas (4-1) at West Indies Warriors (1-4)
- West Indies beat Tet? They must have gotten busted for steroids after that. Koalas by 28.
