The season is in full swing now after opening night last week and there are some interesting matchups to look for in week 2. It  will be interesting to see how teams continue to adjust and gel as the season is mivong along. Teams like The Vets, Regeneration X and District 6 will look to improve on disappointing starts to the season, while Hong Shing, Kings and Bel Air will look to keep a 0 in the L column. Lets take a closer look at this weeks matchups:

8pm – The Vets (0-1) Vs. Hong Shing (1-0)

The defending champs came out and made a statement in week 1 with a convincing win over District 6. The Vets had a hard time in their opener, and will be looking to avoid another slow start like they had week 1. Hong Shing can hurt you in a variety of ways, but transition is a calling card of theirs. With so many weapons offensively, when they get in the open floor it becomes a nightmare for defenders. If The Vets can control the pace and be effective on the defensive board they could give Hong Shing some trouble. Hong Shing will need to be careful defensively as the vets move the ball well for good shots.

9pm – District 6 (0-1) Vs. Regeneration X (0-1)

This is a matchup of two teams looking to bounce back after tough opening week losses. District 6 revamped their roster and ate still looking for the chemistry to build.  They have a size advantage on Regeneration, and should look to exploit that especially on the offensive glass if are cold from outside like last week. Regeneration will need to execute offensively and move the ball for some open looks. They get stagnant at times and resort to one on one battles which doesn’t bode well against a team like District.

10pm - Kings (1-0) vs. Bel-Air Academy (1-0)

Both teams got W's but won in very different ways. The Kings spoiled The Vets debut in the league with a blow out defeat. Paul Blake was 2 points shy of 50 and don't forget about 15 rebounds and 9 steals.  Kings ran away with it but Bel-Air will be more prepared for this game knowing what they're up against. Bel-Air didn't play a great game, but played well enough to get a win. They put in the effort, outhustling and outrebounding their opponents to earn an opening night victory. Big question going into this game is who guards Bibby? Will they double? Will they triple? Can they match the offensive output of the Kings? Lots of question marks but it should be a good one.
