…confirm GABF President’s predictions

IF the Goodwill tour was a playoff series, the Guyana side would have made a quick and painful exit after being swept, losing all four of their games.Perhaps the most painful loss came on Friday night when even Georgetown’s All-Stars could not stop the dominance of the Jammers.
The game finished with a scoreline which saw the Jammers winning by 12 points, 88-76. The game was one played up- tempo with both squads pushing the ball in an effort to score in transition points. Once again, Semaj Inge was the man for the Jammers and took control, punching the lane and finishing in true Russell Westbrook fashion.
The Georgetown All stars looked good initially, but as the game waned on the teamwork that was always an issue for a team of that sort proved to be its kryptonite.
The Jammers were like a well-oiled machine and only got better as the game went on, while at the same, the local side played as if playing against themselves, with hero ball being the name of the game.
The crowd however had something to cheer for when guard Nikkoloi Smith threw down a dunk and sent the locals wild. However, if it were a dunk party that they had wanted, the fans got as the Jammers side threw down dunk after dunk in the form of Inge, Winston Robinson and Kevan Creppy.
The DC Jammers finished in fine fashion and completed the sweep. It appeared as if Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation President Nigel Hinds, who had stated prior to the games that Guyana would be defeated, had seen the future.
Jammers coaches Clarence Wallenson and Michael Creppy both stated that throughout the tour, they had made adjustments at crucial junctures of each game.
“Everyone only sees what the players do, but it’s the coach who can win or lose a game,” Said Wallerson and the superiority of the Jammers was shown even down to the coaching level.
The Jammers departed Guyana last night and left the Guyanese players to do some much-needed assessment.
