LAGUNA: Week 2 Predictions

By Billy Hilliard | Laguna Media Associate

Kawhi So Serious vs. 2Fast2Curryous

KSS comes into Week 2 looking to leave Week 1 in the rearview.  Without big man Kevin Edmunds, Tommy Fausett had his way in the paint with little to no resistance.  They'll look to get back on track against 2F2C hoping they can build on their balanced scoring attack from last week.  Newcomer Orlando Collado had quite the Laguna debut pouring in 23 points in his first action.  Caleb Walker was solid as well collecting a double-double to start the season.  2F2C was able to grind out a two-point win last week behind four players in double digits including Nick Young who was a perfect 6-6 from the floor.   Considering they aren't very deep, this team's veterans are going to be challenged week in and week out. 

Prediction: KSS by 7

Pippen Ain't Easy vs. Kareem of the Crop

Led by Jason Lyon and Tommy Fausett, Kareem of the Crop looked unstoppable last week.  They will look to carry that momentum this week against Pippen Ain't Easy.  PAE will hope to have one of the league's premier players back in Mason Jones.  They were also without big man Brian Ewell in their two-point defeat last week and could easily be 1-0.  Even with those two players back, they PAE will have a tough climb against a team that looks poised to make a run at the title this season in Laguna.  With five players scoring in double digits, along with two double-doubles from Lyon and Fausett, KOC is looking like the team to beat.  

Prediction:  KOC by 9
