#1 Mighty Moose Rockets vs # 2 Slashing Dragons
Mighty Moose Rockets has won both Head to Head matchups this season and has Home Court Advantage. The last game was a low scoring matchup that the Rockets won by shutting down the Dragons offense in the 4th quarter and turned a 4 point deficit into an 8 point victory.
Defense looks to control this game as well with the Rockets putting up a sensational (12 - medium) Perimeter Defense and the Dragons put up a prolific (11 - high) Perimeter Defense in their Quaterfinals matchups. With the Dragons heading on the road, their defense however will fall even farther behind the Rockets suffocating one.
Whichever team can make the most of their limited opportunities on offense will win this game and with the injury to Braun, the Dragons top big man, that tough task gets even harder.
Perhaps I am biased, but if both teams were at full strength this seemed like a game that could go either way, but with the injury to Braun, it would take a miracle for the Dragons to win.
#1 Rashmonsters vs #2 Drunken Sconnies
Rashmonsters won both Head to Head matchups this season and has Home Court Advantage. The last game Rashmonsters won by double digits and was never in doubt.
Rashmonsters big men serve as a big advantage in any game, and they look to control the paint, both defensively as well as the boards. Sconnies defense is no slouch, but the big question is can they keep up with Rashmonsters offense.
Who will be the hero, Cunrong and the outside offense of the Sconnies, or the 3-headed big monster of the Rashmonsters. My money is on Rashmonsters
