The Waltham Celtic Warriors pulled out a great victory on Tuesday, 72-66 over the Houston Stars. This stings even more, considering Stars' PF Raúl Sáenz recently won the League MVP trophy. Houston also had two other players finish in the top 7 of voting, while the Warriors had one. We caught up with Sáenz in the locker room today after workouts.

Q: How does it feel to be V.22 MVP?
A: Yeah man, it feels great y'know? Just...yeah. Man.
Q: Do you feel confident about tomorrow's game?
A: Y'know man, we just gotta...y'know, get out there and play our game.
Q: Which would be basketball?
A: Yeah, basketball, y'know, the game. We play.
Q: Even though the Warriors were running a fast paced, full court offense, they still contended for the rebound quite a bit, how do you feel you'll do against that?
A: I'll just do my thing, y'know...go in there, jump, and hopefully get the ball. Just gotta...
Q: Play your game?
A: Yeah.

Well, we'll be looking forward to seeing what this Harvard Graduate can do on Saturday in Game 2 of the Championship Series, as the Warriors hope to seal the deal against League MVP Raúl Sáenz and the Houston Stars.

Ah yes alas I forgot about that stipend on the promotion of teams and I love the banther on the star's guy

***Newsflash***

The Waltham Celtic Warriors have defeated the Houston Stars 90-78 to clinch the final game of the Championship series. The score does not convey how close a game it was, even down to the final minutes of the match. Vytenas Vosys lit up the floor for the Warriors, leading the team for 19 points, 16 boards, and 4 blocks. Though they ran a full court offense, they only shot 8-24 from behind the arc, compared to Houston's 10-35 from 3 point land. League MVP Raúl Sáenz shot only 3-6 for 8 points today, and left before we could get a word from him. So again, congratulations to WCW and all those that participated in the playoffs, looking forward to seeing you next season!

Congratulations to Waltham, a very solid, lowscoring win. Looking to next year, assuming tam voodoo goes bot, the Big 8 will have only 2 active teams starting the season. The Great 8, on the other side will have 5 active teams that could become 4 if Houston promotes. Whatever it is, next year will definitely be interesting.
