I'm going to pay one of the janitors at my arena to tie your guys shoelaces together before the game. :) LOL

Lincoln Hornets get the win to move into the 4th seed!

I was expecting that. So I will be playing the hornets first round.

So guys, who do you think will be MVP this season?

My money is on Hook, but perhaps Nurbolat Alimzhanov is also high on list!

My money is on Nurbolat Alimzhanov. Only because he is my guy and he has a history of winning that honor.

Besides my game I will be keeping an eye on the Crusty Hoopers game. :) I am thinking with Crusty's manager awol that the Hoop will score the upset. In my game I am hoping it is close and I have a shot. Could be a nail biter or a FTF blow out. We will see if the guys are up to the challenge.

I am thinking the championship games will be FTF and Hoopers. And I see FTF being this years champion. Two head to head matches between us and he won both. Can't say I have an answer for this semi final game. Some times you have to trust your gut and go with what you know. Hope that the team has improved since the other meetings. Good luck to the final four tonight.

My honest thoughts:

This time last week I was 10 point favorites based on my having a more balanced team, nice gameshape, but aware of your team's slight improvement (guard upgrade).

After my gameshape update this week (my total DMI down 25%), It's so much more of a close match-up. As i mentioned in my BB-mail, I think you very slight favorites but it's very hard to tell. I would be surprised it it was more than a 10 pt win either way.

Should be a fun one, I hope to watch it!

I'll be glued to the screen. Screaming at my guys as usual. And even the refs. There are times when in a 20 second span you get three fouls called on your guys. It's like WTF? Give me a break ref. Encouraging the team, okay you stole the ball, you need to score. All the ups and downs. This game means more to me than any of my previous PO games from any season. Up against a really good opponent. My guys can't afford mistakes tonight.
