CHASKA, Minn. — Back in October, we predicted the Chaska Moose would win the COMO Championship, but we had no idea they'd be this dominant.
General manager Joey Fafinski already had an excellent roster this offseason, and then piled on the wealth with a prescient decision (cutting star player Kevin Love) followed by a batch of smart signings (Klay Thompson, Dwyane Wade, Ty Lawson and Mike Conley) that have the Moose coasting to their second consecutive regular season title. Leading the way is center DeMarcus Cousins, who averaged 36.67 bones over three contests en route to being named Player of the Week for the first time in his career. "DeMarcus could bring home those honors once a fortnight if he so desired them, but he's putting this dominant team on his back, doe," Fafinski said. With little to play for besides a COMO Classic 'ship against Minnesnowta in February, the Moose would be wise to rest some key players, but don't expect that to stem the tide. "The Moose couldn't tank if they tried -- every member of he crew save for Nik Stauskas is contributing this year," Fafinski said. "Much like the [NBA's San Antonio] Spurs, this team doesn't know how to do anything but win. United we graze, y'all." Chaska holds a sizable 24-point lead at the top of the standings with only seven weeks to go. The only way they could blow the regular season 'ship would be to lose to 'Snowta in the COMO Classic and then consistently finish below the Chill down the stretch. Nobody but the people in St. Paul are holding their breath at this point.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The calendars flipped forward a year on Jan. 1, but Duval United appeared to get sucked back to the past.
2013-2014 COMO MVP Kevin Durant was back to his old form, with a 42.5 bone average over two contests, and the Bold City Brigade narrowly beat out Shorewood for their first weekly crown of the season. "Duval winning is a p cool start to the New Year for the boys," GM Matthew Fairburn said. A healthy Durant figures to be a huge part of the playoff race down the stretch. "We are excited Kevin decided to grow up and play a few games," Fairburn said. "We look forward to his next injury so he can make another dramatic return. Draymond is the real MVP." That'd be Duval forward Draymond Green, who pitched in with a 35.5 average over two contests this week. No matter who is doing the heavy lifting, it's good to see the black and teal back to their winning ways. |
