115-76 final. Congrats to Lima Explosion on a great first game. Great crowd too- LCC was happy to play host! Would love to see more games played at LCC!

[charliesheen]

Wow, gotta admit I didn't expect a crowd like that. Maybe I'll have to make it over to check out a game.

[TiGgEr3]

Great crowd tonight and nice win by the Explosion. First points in team history scored by Jamar Butler on a 3 pointer in the first possession in team history. Kyle Meyer led the way with 21 for Lima and Butler chipped in 19. My fav play in the game is this one:

Will the competition be better than what this Dayton team put on the floor? Looked like 10 guys that were just randomly picked up at the Local Y......

[TiGgEr3]

Explosion won last night on the road in detroit and at home today 128-117 against michiana. Butler with 24 and 6 helpers.

Explosion home next a week from today at 4pm.



And tonights opponent was the best team so far.

141 pts has to be some sort of a record.... what is the NABDL record for most points in a game?....

[TiGgEr3]

Rocket,

The 141 points put up by the Explosion yesterday may be the Explosion single game record in
the "new" ABA ( they aren't part of the NBA Developmental League), but it doesn't appear to be
anywhere near a league record as surprisingly as that may seem.

I had hoped to attend the game yesterday afternoon, but was drafted instead by Mrs JB into assisting
with a family holiday extravaganza and the Explosion, along with the Bengals, quickly found themselves
on the back burner for the afternoon.

I just looked at some scores throughout the league just from the last 10 days and here is a sampling from
throughout the league. . . .

Little Rock Lightning - 199
NE Arkansas Swag -107

S. Carolina Warriors - 183
East Point Jaguars - 101

Milwaukee Blast - 168
Porter City Punishers - 117

Nashville Soul - 161
Little Rock Lightning - 127

I also saw 3 other teams scoring 150 or more points within the same
time period, so the 141 points scored by the Explosion yesterday seems well within
the league norm. Maybe the 141 is a record for their Division, the Mid Central this
year ? but not even close within the other 10 Divisions in the league based on the scores
I saw from the last 10 days or so. The league has been around since 2000, but have no
idea if there is record data base anywhere on line.

Now I haven't been to any of these type of games, but do they play any defense at all? I can't hardly believe they do if they are regularly putting up 140+. I mean 199 points in a game is ridiculously high. Maybe they're playing 40 minute halves???? What gives?

Congrats to Coach Quincey Simpson, Corey Wilson, Emzur Shurelds and whomever on the Lima Explosion staff, coaches, etc that had a hand in assembling this team. They are fun to watch and really play good defense and compete the entire 48 minutes. I attended the Detroit game yesterday at the Fieldhouse and it was a joy. Had a nice talk with Coach Quincey before the game as well as one of the owners of the team. Having games on Sunday is a great idea, fun for the entire family. Anyone traveling for the holidays to the Dayton area, you can catch the Explosion vs the Gem City Hall of Famers on Saturday December 24th @ 1 PM,
Kyle Meyer good talking to you before and after the game, very nice effort yesterday with 29 points !! Kyle Meyer is a Columbus Grove graduate and played his college ball @ Ohio Northern University. I have had the opportunity to play in a 3 on 3 tournament with Kyle a few years ago, but I confess due to conflicts with my own kids I had never seen him play in High School or College, and I tell all you basketball fans out there, he is worth the price of admission as are the rest of the Lima Explosion Players.
Jamar Butler played really well and really impressed me as a guy that potentially could play in the NBA, he defends well and picks his spots, a good facilitator with great court vision and understanding of the game.
Adam Stolly handled the ball nicely for the Explosion and is a very good defender, and a good testimony to hard work and getting in the weight room,
Looking for Kyle Gillette to catch his stride and get physical, Kyle is a UNOH grad and really offers the Explosion great depth off the bench as does Big 6'7" 280lb Wapak Native BJ Reed who played at Ashland.
Greg Tyson a 6'5" 200lb guard bring great energy to the Explosion,
Willie Tisdale really is exciting to watch, he creates shots for himself in basically any scenario and is one of the quickest and best leaping guards I have seen in some time ( Spud Webb comes to mind) and i am not kidding.
Geoff Reeder also a UNOH kid adds a nice component to the offense. When you have a shooting guard that is 6'7" it opens up the middle big time !!
Now its hard to pick a favorite on this team and that is what is really cool. This is actually a TEAM, they pass the ball, they find the open guy, they work really well together, the Miami heat and some other NBA teams would love to have chemistry like this.
now Clyde McKinney Jr from Indiana Tech is another young man that impressed me, now I have no idea how old some of these guys are but Clyde reminds me of a mix between Vinney the Microwave from the 89'90' Detroit Piston days and Baron Davis, this guy is a wreching ball in a good way. If I was at Rucker Park in NY picking teams this would be the first dude i would pick. He goes to battle and doesn't take his foot off the gas.
# 24 James Hicks is a 6'7" 225 lb true Power Forward from Indiana Tech # 15 D'Angelo Jordan from Tiffin University is a 6'7" 205 pound guard and both of these guys can really play. I am not sure what high school they went to but I am thinking to have these guys work with my son on his game ( $ 10.00 per hour when you have time D'Angelo, bring Kyle Meyer and James Hicks also and I will buy Pizza for everyone)
Coach Quincey you may already being thinking this, but you need to run some clinics for local kids for $ 50.00 a person, do a "Big Man Camp" type instruction and "Power Forward Camp" etc,

I guess what I am saying is if you have not gotten a chance to see the Explosion this year, get out and see them, They are 7-0 and have such good talent and work ethic combined with depth I believe they have a chance to win 25 games this year, they are fun fun to watch.

There is no statistical database. ABA founder joe newman tried to hire a statistician, but he soon resigned after lack of payment.

Great post bram

[TiGgEr3]

Explosion wins twice this weekend to improve to 8-2. Blowout win last night over Ft Wayne and a great comeback win against Porter County tonight by 1.

Home next weekend for 2 games, sat at 1 and sunday at 4.

Butler injured tonight unfortunately, prayers go out to him.
