Any prognosticators out there willing to speculate on the outcomes of the games? (Sorry 5th place, you get to spend money and get nothing to show for it.)

I'm thinking Gingers and That's What She Said in the finals. I buy into the fact that TWSS was playing for the cup most of the season and still managed to finish second. Bruins were awfully good though, and I look forward to logging on and watching that game. Gingers have just rolled through the division, high enth and home court continue to sway in their favor.

I think no surprises in relegation, Reston and Chunks survive to enter the gauntlet of 2.1 season 14.

Silverbacks may just pull off an upset of TWSS. His guards have sharpened up and the team has put up some pretty impressive outside ratings. TWSS has greater team depth, but it won't be a cakewalk.

Bruins should be able to take Red Fort at normal enthusiasm, so that will give them an advantage for the regional finals.
Still, a nice effort by Red Fort to make the playoffs in their first season of this league.

Petersburg over Digging - Balanced attack and Digging is still in re-building mode around his new guys.
Ginger over Scrap - Too much power for the Scrappers at this point.

The Swee injury hurts Ginger pretty bad though - hopefully he returns in time for the Petersburg matchup and in decent game shape. Without Swee, I would go with Petersburg.

I kept writing things and then deleting them for fear of giving away my strategy haha. I will say that it should be a heck of a playoff, anything can happen and wouldn't surprise me.

Unfortunately my game shape isn’t what it might have been since I forgot to set my lineup in a scrimmage last week, so it would be quite an upset if I happen to win, but you never know.

As for predictions, I have trouble betting against the Bruins in any playoff game considering the home court and enthusiasm edge, but those semifinal matchups will be very exciting.

I can pretty much guarantee you he doesn't have an enthusiasm edge over me considering that, thanks to the Cup, I was able to TIE 3 times a week for the entire season (with a few exceptions here and there). But home court will certainly be a big problem for whoever wins our game tonight.

Random fun fact: The top 3 in our conference (Bruins, TWSS, Silverbacks) hasn't changed in order since July 17th (Game 5). Pretty crazy.

LOL. Was that from your trained monkey?
What does he say about the draft? Is it the same as that's what she said?
