Recipe for your most embarrasing moment

Sad sad day when you think of it. But quite a day for realizations actually. Tops my Most Embarrassing Moments by all means, but proud that i (we) got through with it.

The event: NBA Madness Corporate 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge.
What really happened during the event: 2-on-3 against the giants called Team Caltex.
What really happened during the event which never in my right mind will tell a story about it: 14-0 was the final score. Yes, this was basketball but more like a table tennis score.
Why it happened: Blame C-5 traffic as Paolo, our third teammate was a bit late for the event.
Why it really happened: Even with Paolo, the score would probably, most likely be similar if not the same. (Blame the Team Caltex Giants, though may i add they were such nice gentlemen almost pitying us from the coin toss)
How it happened: i shot 0-of-6 from the field. Pierre was zero percent as well but i won't mention that one because he might mention that i got posterized via a sick blocked shot which i won't forget in this lifetime.
How it really happened; Team Caltex had giants. (Repetition for emphasis)
How and why it really, really happened (You can call this an excuse by all means): Both brought the anti-Gatorade called hangover for the warm-up. (Of course by this time we will pull all stops but as i've said even though we practiced for the event for a month, still the results would have been the same.)
The ugly news: Re-read from the first line to this point.
The bad news: Team BTV-A was scheduled to play first that day.
The good news: Team BTV-A was scheduled to play first that day meaning the crowd watching numbered just under 50 (And to add, Sam something the host/commentator started calling the games from game two onwards...)

Below is the picture of less than losers:












The big question:
will we do it again? i have to ask Pierre on that one, but i would. Really. Really really.
