Max's All Stars lost in the Watson Classic semifinals against Man Up Inc by a final score of 95-81. However, the game was much closer than the final score indicates. Max's All Stars were tied at 81 all with about 5 minutes remaining before they ran out of gas, allowing Man Up Inc to close the game out on a 14-0 run. Down by as many as 16 points in the first half, Max's All Stars did not quit. They kept fighting and clawing to keep their season alive, but it was not meant to be. A combination of fatigue and poor officiating deflated the team down the stretch and led to a difficult loss. Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Darryl "Truck" Bryant, Doug Herring, Kevin Pegram, Rob Thomas and Stefan Bonneau battled all game long, but could not hang on. Max's All Stars finish the summer with a 3-5 record at Watson (9-8 overall).

Max's All Stars lost in the West 4th Street playoffs against Diamond by a final score of 109-99.

Down by as many as 20 points at times, Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Darryl "Truck" Bryant, Dave Seagers, Doug Herring, Marvin Billups Jr, Patrick James and Rob Thomas battled through injuries and kept fighting. Unfortunately, it was too little too late and Max's All Stars were eliminated, finishing with a 6-3 record at West 4th.
