With only one game left in the season, the playoff participants are decided:
urbandub NB Ballers Dany and Roxy BC J Monies
NeoBulls golden wolfs 1 Deep Boyz Edgewater Dreamers
Depending on the outcomes of these last games, the seeds may change. Each team has quite an interesting story of how they made the plaoffs
urbandub: Joining this league midway through season 17, they went on a ridiculous 12-3 run to end as 4th seed, but to lose out to the eventual champion, the Colorado Broncos. Since then, they have claimed the number one overall seed by starting 15-0. Their spot is at stake tonight as they take one 6th seed Florida Cougars.
NB Ballers: A new addition to our league this season, they had a very interesting trip. Winning the first two games easily, they faced urbandub and suffered a tough loss, but were unshaken. No team has been able to stop them since that defeat, including urbandub himself. With a lot of momentum going into the playoffs, they have any easy match against old skool playerz, and can possibly take the number 1 spot in the league.
Dani and Roxy BC: Another new team this season that has managed to play well. While far behind the the next two teams in the west, they solidified their third place status, and will keep it. They have are a strong contender behind Chip Calderon who leads the league in rebounds.
J Monies: They are the only team with a losing record that made the playoffs, although that is no fault of theirs. I'd like to welcome the newest member of our league personally. With a fresh team, who knows how they may fare in the plaoffs?
NeoBulls: After a dominant regular season, but a disappointing finals appearance last season, they failed to retain the number 1 overall spot, but still lead the Big 8. Depending on how urbandub and NB Ballers do in their games, Neo Bulls may retake the top spot, although it is very unlikely.
golden wolfs: After a shaky start in season 17, they have found their rhythm this season. The last game of the season is highly important as it can decide whether they place 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. Their playoff appearance is guaranteed, but kathleenhighskool may pose a challenge in getting a higher seed.
1 Deep Boyz: They took over Team 28812 after they lost in the finals, and have been playing well. They placed 2nd last season, and are trying to secure the 2nd seed once again. Virtually tied for second right now, their game against Richmond Rage could prove to be important. A strong, experienced team could help them in the playoffs regardless of seed though.
Edgewater Dreamers: ... For 3 seasons, they bided their money in order to unleash a dangerous team this season. For 3 seasons, they forfeited games, all the while waiting to put their plan in motion. They are in the race for 2nd seed in the Big East, and could have quite an interesting post season run with their three key players.
As proven from previous seasons, you never know what to expect in the playoffs. Good luck to all in their games tonight, and in the playoffs as well. May the best team win!
