Great showing this weekend by our Oshawa Power players and a fantastic game from Brandon Robinson who pumped in 38 points and took home the MVP award! Man, I am I pumped for next year! I hope we can get back some of our key players and attendance improves dramatically.

Got home tonight all excited after a great win by the Power only to be dissapointed with the result of the Mill Rats/Kebs game. The Mill Rats upset the Kebs and it is now going to take a pretty major miracle for the Power to get that final playoff birth.

Here is a conspiracy theory that might even leave Jesse (The Body) Ventura shaking his head. It goes like this:

Omari Johnson has been very consistant all season and Morgan Lewis has been keeping pace as well of late and both are four and five respectively. Hopefully, these three will …

Poll to vote for team MVP

Seeing Marcus Johnson tonight with his right hand in a cast had me thinking that the Power's playoff chances are now very slim! I hope it is not that serious!!!

It definately felt like the place to be at the GMC last night! Thousands of new fans getting a chance to check out the new team in town with free ducats. Here are my thoughts:

- It was a tough game for the crowd to get into because the Power started so slowly. In the 3rd and 4th quarter, when the Power were making a run , the crowd couldn't respond with their own noise because of the music. I …

Kevin Francis for Jerome Brown and David Collins

Akeem Wright for Andrew Francis

If these trades were made by a NBA team other than the L.A. Clippers (of days past), there would need to be some serious explaining, which would probally lead to subsequent repercussions for the team's general manager!

Trading Kevin Francis, the heart & soul guy of the team for two players that amounted to …
