PHOENIX, AZ: Week 4 Preview | It's Make or Break Week for Upper Echelon

Upper Echelon still ranked in the top 5 despite a 0-3 record, will this be the week they get it together and turn their season around? Team Gilbert got there first win last week, will the momentum continue this week against top ranked Bulls? Check out this week’s preview…

6PM BULLS VS. GILBERT: Gilbert finally looked like a real team last week and I can’t wait to see if they can keep it going. I knew chemistry was going to be an issue with them but I think they got it figured out and everyone knows their role on the team now. They are now the #1 ranked defense allowing only 66 points per game to their opponents but that usually changes after a team faces the Bulls, just ask the Head Bustas. However these 2 teams lead the league in shot attempts per game and it will definitely be a shootout. As much as I want to see an upset this week, let’s be real the Bulls haven’t had a team within 20 points this season and that’s probably not going to change this week.

7PM HEAD BUSTAS VS. UPPER ECHELON: This is my game of the week and possibly my upset shocker of the week as well. I think this is the week Echelon puts it all together and starts a 2nd half rampage. I may be over hyping them a bit putting them in the top 5 despite the 0-3 record and making a very bold prediction but that’s what I’m here for. These articles wouldn’t be that fun to write if I just wrote what everyone wants to hear. So team Echelon please back me up and let everyone know you are for real this week so I don’t look like an idiot. However I will be jumping off the bandwagon this week if you guys lose again but I’m calling for an upset this week.

8PM WHO’S NEXT VS. LIFETIME TEMPE: Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worst for team Who’s Next I was wrong. They will be with out their top point guard Lawrence Taylor this week due to a family emergency. However they will be getting back Casey Day back from suspension this week and top free agent Nick Tomsick has informed me he will be joining the team in week 5, hopefully they can help get this ship turned in the right direction for the 2nd half of the season. Team Lifetime has a very good chance to start the first half of the season 3-1 if they can get a W this week and I don’t see a reason why they won’t.

9PM MONSTARS VS. TEMPE: The Monstars offense was a little stagnant last week not having their starting point guard Frank Camantigue in uniform but was still able to escape with a victory. It’s amazing what affect a good point guard has on a team when he plays and when he doesn’t play. I’m looking forward to see how they bounce back this week vs Tempe. I know Tempe will definitely be up and ready for this game after losing 2 straight the last few weeks. If Tempe can get all their stars on the same page I don’t see why they can’t pull off an upset this week. However I already used my shocker special on team Echelon this week so I’m not going to get crazy here.
