The best historical analogy I can think of for today's events:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j9kRciiD3EI played on teams today that should've just swept the competition away, on paper. That didn't happen, even thought I played hard and had fun (rule #1). Went maybe about 50-50, maybe a little under. All that's left is the Shamenalysis, and giving credit where credit is due.
Player of the day, again, is Dub. He's racking those up of late. Making a well timed run for MVP. How do I Dub thee? Let me count the ways...

The Dread Pirate Grizzle. Last of his kind, apparently. Kept his over on 1s to a minimum, set, hit, dinked with solid efficiency. I think he's finally learned how to play on the tall net.
A rejuvenated Monkey?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lT-0sqqGN0Well done! Hell, from what I saw today, might as well march them up to Dallas for the playoffs. Great credit for these performances today. And great shame for the underperformances, for which a vicious taunting is in order:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9DCAFUerzsThe term "hump in shame" was created for days like this.
Well, there it is, pandas. To quote the Dark Lord Darth Nowell of the Evil Empire of Prosper, put the pedal to the metal, don't let up, win, or you're gone. SUCK is not allowed in the barracks, let alone on the Obstacle!
