Seattle Basketball League :: powered by HoopFigures

We head over to Bellevue, Washington to check out defending champion, Goose Pub, in the first game of their season. Goose Pub, returning all 5 of their starters looks to be the heavy favorite to repeat this season. But Playground Legends has something to say about that.

Both teams come out of the gate shooting well over 50% in the first half. Goose Pub has the style of play that kind of lulls you to sleep and you look up and it's a tie ball game with a minute left on the clock. So efficient. No wasted motion.

They have the outside game, they have the inside game.

And that tough hard nose basketball of a previous generation.

But Playground Legends is no slouch. They came to play.

I weaseled my way into the huddle, down 2 with under a minute to go in the game. The peripheral vision and court awareness by coach Aaron Abrams is next level.

And this is the game right here down 2, under a minute to go, Abrams draws up the play to get it to the hot hand, Dallas Searles at the top of the key

Dallas calls for the ball screen, pick and roll. floatation
