After a season that can best be described as up-and-down, for both the Dangriga Dream Ballers as well as Belize City No Limit basketball teams, both teams are hoping that huge wins over the Tiger sharks and the Hurricanes respectively last week,could establish momentum coming into this season-defining weekend.

The Dream Ballers stunned the Tiger sharks last week as they exhibited their teams’ formula for success – tough defense and rebounds domination. They are the #1 rebounding team in the league at almost 57 per game, and when combined with a stingy team defense of 66.5 points allowed per game, evidently is their teams’ DNA. This conventionally speaking, is and has been a proven winning formula for championship bound teams.

Not to be outdone, Belize City No Limit is riding optimism, after their enormous defeat over the defending champs Hurricanes, last weekend in front of their home fans. More so though, the talk in camp this week has been about the stimulus provided by the big guy in the middle, American import Kenny Brown. He obviously paid early dividends for No Limit giving them something they have never had – a presence in the middle.

With youngsters Marcus Lewis and Lincey Lopezcontinuing their buy-in into Manager turn Coach David Alamilla system, No Limit is poise for a major run. After all they have been in all of their last three games, losing the two previous before last week by only an average of 6.5 points. They are banking that the Lincey Lopez (10 pts 5 rebs 8 asst 7 stls) of Saturday night is not a mere mirage, but a more a constant. His hard-nosed quality, blended with Marcus Lewis consistency and the inside play of Kenny Brown gives No Limit a formidable tandem and one that believes they can play with anybody.”
