Ewing’s Epilogue
“2 words. Allan Ray! Man he lit the Armory up tonight! 44 points! Ably aided by myself, a sweet 35 and 9 performance. I had a great battle with Earl Clark, another guy who really should be in the big league. Patrick Beverly really got us going, 13 points and 13 assists; he is quickly learning how to run this show. Derrick Brown poured in 28, Da’Sean Butler 22 and Jerel Mc Neal 21. They had shooters all over the floor. But ‘Gelly Belly’ Gelabale worked his behind off and eventually stopped them down the stretch. We’re 3-0 and deservedly grabbed our first win against our closest rivals Springfield, MA”

Ewing’s Epilogue
“I just love posters! Throwing it down over Derrick Brown! On my way to an 18 and 8 performance. We had some great scoring all over the court tonight. Nichols had 24, Gelly Belly had 18, Baby Shaq had 17 and Big Pete Mo had 13. As usual, Jerel and Derrick played well, with 20 and 19 each, but they just couldn’t match our intensity. 112-97 on the paper, but really we owned this game. 4 and 0 baby, and we play the Armor again on Friday!”

Ewing’s Epilogue
“Gelly Belly had a storming game with 25 points tonight. He lit the floor up and we threw the fuel on! I notched up 18 points and 9 boards, again missing out on a dub-dub,grr!! Allan Ray could also be charged with arsene, as he shot 7-8 from the floor on his way to 16 points. Baby Shaq had 9pts and 10 boards, yea man, I know the feeling! As usual Derrick Brown and Da’Sean Butler tore it up with 23 and 19 each, but dang, we know how to beat these cats now. 5-0, can we play all of our games in my home state of Massachusetts?!”

Ewing’s Epilogue
“20 and 9. Can I buy a double-double please? I’m averaging just under 9 boards a game. Got to step my game up on the glass! First home game in almost 2 weeks, and we returned to a packed house. The 3 wins over Springfield have really gotten the fans out in numbers! Baby Shaq was dominant again tonight, with 16 points and 10 boards. We really locked down Kurz and Nick Fazekas under the boards. Allan Ray had the hot hand, connecting on 4 long range 3’s. Will Solomon was the Mad Ant’s main threat, scoring 15 and dishing out 5 assists. 6-0, unbeaten at home and on the road. I bet whoever plays us next is quaking in their boots. Who is it? Springfield Armor you say? Hmmmm. Gentlemen, load your guns…..”

Ewing’s Epilogue
"Excellent start to the season for the Red Claws. 6-0 and we really have some momemtum. We really have done a number on our nearest rivals, the Springfield Armor. They fear playing us now, only 6 more meetings this season! I'm quite happy with my numbers over 22 ppg. But what really concerns me is the fact i havent registered a single double-double this season yet. 8.9 rpg just aint gonna cut it. I really got to raise that part of my game this month. Been talking to the Big Oak Tree about this, and he says he'll give me a few tips this week. Eddy Curry and Marcus Landry also going to stay back after practice too"

Ewing’s Epilogue
“Mickael Gelabale brought some guns to the game tonight. And no, he was not impersonating Gilbert Arenas! Well maybe the old Agent Zero that goes off for 29 points! Outstanding game from my man. Eddy Curry was strong with 16 and 7; he is just amazing when he gets his groove on. I played well, 15 and 7, but I’ve had much better games this season already. Missed too many free throws. Got to step it up next time out. At least I racked up some assists though. For Springfield, well you’ve guessed it, Derrick Brown (20) and McNeal (17), ably assisted by Da’Sean….You know the score, the Red Claws just shut the door! Again. This time at home. Burning it up, we’re 7 and 0”

Ewing's Epilogue
Another great win tonight, we're now 8-0. Its hard to see a team stopping us when we play at this level. I led all scorers and rebounders tonight with 29 and 9, but again failed to get a double double! Oakley really gave me some great tips last week, especially how to box out effectively. Allan Ray shot really well, scoring 23 tonight. Gelabale started again tonight and scored 14, had 6 rebounds and 3 steals. It really is a ding dong battle between him and Nichols to start every night! Its the competition for places that seems to really be driving us on this season. Tomislav Zubcic and Ben Hansbrough the rookies led the Bayhawks in scoring, with 13 and 12 respectively.
The Bayhawks have just recently been taken over solely by the Knicks. Allan Houston has been appointed GM of the Bayhawks. I noticed him there casting his eye over the game tonight. Hopefully my 29 pt haul has impressed him! We all have noticed some scouts at the games so far this season, namely from the Bucks, Nets, Raptors and Suns. I know we have a great team chemistry going on, but everyone of us would jump at the chance of a 10 day contract!!

Ewing's Epilogue
"Close fought win tonight. Really stunning shootout between Gelabale with 27 and Zubcic with 31. Really had everyone biting their finger nails all 4th quarter long. Gelly Belly though would come out and hit a buzzer beater in the dying seconds, a long 2 pointer from the corner, his specialty. We clung on by our finger nails but we'll take the victory!" .
"On another note, Double - Double baby! YEA!! It only took 9 games but i finally got one. 15 and 11, a solid performance from yours truly Ewing Jr.!All the extra work is starting to pay off. Hansbrough is starting to play at a high level and helped the Bayhawks keep in touching distance with 15 tonight. Rumors around the arena tonight say he may be signed up by the Knicks pretty soon. Hmm. Dont i wish i was in his boots right now."
