Imagine if the Frost Heaves, Gwizzlies and San Francisco Rumble ALL showed up in Halifax on January 9th? In any other league miscommunication of this magnitude would be impossible, but in this one…don’t say it can’t happen

Rikk, if all four teams showed up (including the Rainmen), I think there should be a 10-on-10 Battle Royale. Each team puts 5 guys on the court (say Vermont and Halifax versus Georgia and San Fran) and everyone tries to score points for their combined team. At haliftime, the winning team combo splits up into their original teams, then they play the second half 5-on-5 to determine the game winner.

That might actually be really cool to watch! If Joe Newman ever reads this, it might become a new rule next year! You read it here first - I want royalties on this idea.


Here is a hilarious link for the oddly named ABA team Georgia Gwizzlies that were supposed to have played the Rainmen but couldn't get passports?!? They were originally from Gwinnett County in Georgia, but they moved and must have decided to keep the Gwizzlies name for brand recognition (ok......).
