Welcome to all the newcomers and welcome back you DII veterans!
Each season, i try to handicap the teams and make some predictions about conference standings. Here we go:
In the Big 8, it is clear to me the Haifa Suns are the class of the conference. This is not to say there will not be a number of good teams, as i see Trustal, the Tigers and the Kings being good enough to make the playoffs. Below that, however, i think we will see four teams all having difficulty, with maybe the Carambanos and the Addicts are most likely to drop down this season.
In the Great 8, this is BC's year to shine. i can see them getting 18 or 19 wins. After that? Six more or less equal teams, including the Bay, Lakers, Boyz, Blues, and Heart Surgery all vying for the playoffs. The Knights and Grizzlies look to be relegating.
Playoffs? i'm still working on it -- should have them in order by 8 April.
