WESTMINSTER, CO: Week 6 Preview | A First Loss is in Sight

We are now heading in to the home stretch of the spring season in Westminster. This could be the best week of basketball yet, with two undefeated teams squaring off.

Long Shots vs. IMPACT Basketball

In the game of the night, two undefeated teams go at it in what is to be a very good matchup. Long Shots are probably the deeper team of the two but IMPACT Basketball will still have the two best players in the league on the court at the same time. A huge key to IMPACT basketballs success this season has come from newcomer Derek Levy. He has been putting up impressive numbers thus far and a big game from him could be key if IMPACT Basketball wants this win. Long Shots look to push the pace and get points in transition and they will continue to look to do that in this matchup. This should be a very good game to watch, and likely one that will come down to the wire.

We Goin Sizzler vs. Lifetime Legends

We Goin Sizzler is a whole new team after last week having added a couple great players. Lifetime Legends are still struggling to find their groove having come off a horrific loss last week. We Goin Sizzler will most likely win this game, but their tempo and pace will make sure its not as much of a blowout as Lifetime Legends were dealt last week. If Lifetime Legends can get their shots to fall, the pace We Goin Sizzler plays at could play into their style and then this game could be more competitive than it seems on paper.

The Gladiators vs. MonSTARS

The Gladiators are coming off their best shooting performance of their careers and will look to continue that hot hand against the MonSTARS. The MonSTARS recently made a trade for Richard Peterson who not only added athleticism to their team but another viable scoring option. Chris Hayes has played well all season and he will look to continue this play heading into this matchup. If the Gladiators shot is falling they will be very hard to be beat. The MonSTARS key to victory however will be to use their size and dominate in the paint. Two teams with very different playstyles and strengths will go at it in this matchup and it will be fun to watch which style of play prevails.

The Kardashians vs. Hong Kong Diesel

The Kardashians are coming off a series of wins putting themselves at 4-2 on the year and will be taking on a very good team in Hong Kong Diesel. Hong Kong Diesel is loaded with talent but have played subpar this season so far. The Kardashians are a very balanced team and are capable of scoring in the paint or on the perimeter. The Kardashians tend to slack off early in games and get down only to start trying later in the second half to squeak out a narrow victory. That strategy won’t work this week as Hong Kong Diesel is too good of a team. Expect this to be a close game with two of the younger teams looking to separate themselves from the pack this season.

Hard Work vs. The Great Unknown

We know what Hard Work does… They win games. The Great Unknown has been up and down this year but are a very formidable opponent for Hard Work this week. If TJ Cyriacks and Chad Smith are both on their game, they have the talent to swing the odds in their favor. Hard Work is so balanced that they can beat you in a variety of ways, and any week it could be any of their players to make a game changing difference. This should be a hard fought game and one that will likely get pretty physical as well.

Slam Drunk vs. The Bad Boys

The Bad Boys are coming off of another loss, as Slam Drunk is coming off their first win of the season. Slam Drunk is a lot better team than their record shows and they look to prove that this week. The Bad Boys are close every week but can’t manage to pull out the victory towards the end of the game. This game should be a close matchup and one game both teams want to win very bad to help turn their seasons around.
