Wow. Two weeks ago, who would have predicted that the Hawaii Kahunas would be the last undefeated team in the FBA? And that the Plymouth Taproots would have yet to notch a single win? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Analysts raised eyebrows when Hawaii General Manager Wilmer Grehr embraced a youth-heavy strategy for his new franchise. As expected, the Kahunas did not have an easy start. But Grehr’s gambit began to show signs of paying off when a late-season push last season allowed his ragtag band to squeak into the playoffs. This season, the Kahunas seem determined to prove their abbreviated playoff run was no fluke. Though they publicly continue their established reputation for ribbing each other on social media, on the court they operate like a well-oiled machine. Maybe it’s the sunshine. Maybe it’s the pineapples. Whatever the cause we may never know, as this writer’s request to conduct an extended in-depth study of the environment was denied by the editor. Veteran point guard Teo Masalia (Black Panther, G) led the Kahunas, sinking the first shot of the night to get the hometown crowd excited. His skill at reading the flow of the game gave him 10 assists on the night, which combined with 14 points to give him a double-double and another Player of the Game. Despite his veteran skill, Masalia jerseys are still outnumbered in the stands by those of Scoonie Barrett (Otter, F/C). The ink on his massive contract still wet, tonight the otter seemed as determined as ever to prove he is worth the money. Barrett led the Kahunas in points and rebounds with 20 and 11 respectively. On the Plymouth side, superstar-in-the-making Travis Buckner (Grey Koala, F)’s 28 points were the most of anyone on either team, and he all but shut down Alphonse Norwich IV (Street Rat, F), limiting the rodent to less than 10 points. But as good as the marsupial is, no one can carry an entire team by themselves. Undrafted rookie Moses Workman (Cedar Waxwing, G) was clearly out of his depth in the starting point guard slot, struggling to get half as many points as his Hawaiian opposite. Rookie center Ginovani Bartolini (Gorilla, C/F) likewise proved no match for Hawaii’s big offseason acquisition, Zack Tate (Zorilla, C). Though they matched each other for rebounds, the gorilla seemed reluctant to shoot at times, untrusting of his own talents. One bad pass in the fourth quarter led directly to a Julian Cross-Kiraly (Saluki, G) three-pointer. There is no doubt that the Taproots are suffering after Nina Lime (Wolf, G/F)’s tragic injury, but the extent of the team’s collapse is still surprising given the amount of talent that remains on the roster. The team would do well to fill the last slot on their lineup, and soon. With the Pittsburgh Keystones’ shocking loss last night to the Arizona Whips, the Kahunas are now all alone atop the league with a 7-0 record. They look to keep their streak alive against the streaking Baltimore Spirits on Monday. The Taproots, meanwhile, will seek their first win of the season against the slumping Alaska Arctics. -S.
