Levar is right about Ritesh, however, you have to realize that he sat
out the semi finals. I can imagine guys on the other team would have
loved a similar opportunity. Although he played on one leg, did not
look it. Normally, on legged players at least limp. This thread is
interesting. No one has once mentioned DCAC. I think that they are the
best team. They go 10 deep and there really is no drop off when going
to the bench. I dont know if I was the only one that noticed from the
stands, but the bench was in fact better than the starting five. Maybe
they should have started the bench instead. But they pulled the Nepali
Congress and the old guys had to play because of seniority.

The other thing that is always said amongst Nepalis when it comes to
basketball is the excuse that a team is not "big" enough. I mean,
would a player like Bipin or Sonam have the same explosiveness had
they been 6 ft tall? Ok, they might jump higher, but then they would
be much slower. I think that it is a credit to teams like DCAC and DH
that they can have a starting five which includes guards that are 6 ft
tall. There is a certain skill required in that and it obviously gets
overlooked.

MMC was a really good team, I just can't believe that they lost to
Boston the second time around. I mean, the score in the first game was
close, but that did not tell half the story. It should have been a
blow out. So it makes me think, how are you going to blow a team out
the first game and then lose to them in the second game.

NYNYC was talented. However, they were not a team. It was a two man
show with a few guys filling in when times were good. Once the other
team started hitting a few shots, they self-destructed. Hopefully,
they will take the team concept more seriously next year. I have to
give credit to Boston, although they came up short, they really played
their hearts out. That being said, no matter how fancy Sonam and
Rinzin were, Bipin was so much better because he played with a heart
of a lion.
