Round #18: No crazy endings this round, except a lot of high scoring games. It seems as if teams are ready for playoffs/relegations.

Dragons upsetting Storm was a thing

My bad, that was something. My apologies for having a little bias more towards the top teams.

Wasted Potential have already upset one top team, can they do it again? (please?)

What a shame

Round #21: my apologies for a late post, but been very busy IRL. Wow where do we start so much happened this Tuesday.

Kings Knights got swept this season by the Silverbacks behind an impressive performance from Orourke with a 41 point game. Knight’s defense could not find an answer to this man. As well, with this win the Silverbacks secured the HCA in the playoffs and it seems it will be for the Tar Heels to try to challenge the Apes for the title this season, unless Wavy Gates manages to scheme up an upset in the Big 8 playoff bracket.

Close victory by Village Idiots against Smallfries helps them to tie their records and go up a spot in standings to try to secure an easier relegation opponent.

Both Harbor City Storm and Super Sonics lose to playoffs teams and continue to have a tied record to decide who gets to play an easier opponent in the relegation. They swap the opposition for the last game of the season this Saturday to decide who stays at the top.

Some interesting storylines going into the playoffs:

Harbor City and Super Sonics end up with the same win/loss record, separated by only a single point of PD! It has a big effect on their relegation opponent though, playing a 10-win or 4-win team.

Silverbacks with an injury to his SG, does this hurt his title chances?

Baker Street using a CT, throwing in the towel early in his upcoming playoff matchup.

There are three 20-2 teams, who is the favorite?
