D.IV 12 Playoff/Awards Preview

Playoff Locks:
G8- Droids, Cappers, Venom, GTown. Droids have #1 seed sewn up with a huge PD, but Cappers are the clear 2 seed. Venom/GTown still fighting for the 3 seed.
B8- Xenia, Suns. Both have looked good so far, Xenia clearly the class of the conference.

Playoff Race:
B8- Pinoy currently has the lead, but ATL and Bullseyes both still have shots. ATL@Pinoy this week could lock it up for Pinoy. ATL is currently the favorite for the 4 seed because of a 69 PD lead on Bullseyes despite the tie in the standings.

Individual Awards:(Stats include all games, not just league)

MVP-Contenders-
Felix Bunaticky-SG-GTown: Scoring 23.1 ppg Felix has posted a 7.5 rating over the course of the season while pretty much single-handedly carrying GTown into the playoffs. Had a season high 36 points in a big win at Bullseyes.

Oran Alon-PF-Venom: AVG 16.7 ppg and 11.4 rebs while shooting 53% will get you into the MVP discussion, Oran is a true double double machine, with 11 in 18 games so far this season. He has an impressive 10.0 rating as well. His best performance was probably the first game of the season where he went for 31 points and 14 boards.

John Satchwell-PG-Droids: The leader of the leagues premier defensive team this PG has dominated in his minutes this season, he's looking to be unleashed come playoff time. Posting a impressive 12.5 rating over the course of the season his most impressive showing of the season was probably a 29 pt performance in 29 minutes of play against ATL.

Nikola Babanic-SG-Pinoy: Two contenders from one team?!? Yep when the #2 guy is a 24.6 pt 10.0 rating guy on his conferences #3 team. Not quite as explosive as his teammate Whitlock he is still a very consistent scorer, with 15+ points in every game where he has played more than 1 minute.

Part II
Best Games of the Season
(Between contending teams)
Pinoy 110- Suns 109: Despite losing Nikola to injury Pinoy managed to put together a 4th quarter comeback and hold on for the win.
Droids 100- Cappers 97: Down 97-94 with 1:46 it looked like the Droids were in serious danger but they stifled Cappers for the rest of the way. The score stayed that way until the :41 mark where Droids grabbed 3 offensive rebounds before hitting a 2 to pull within one with :32 left. An offensive foul gave the ball back to Droids where they scored again to take the lead 98-97. Cappers missed the ensuing shot and Droids hit their ensuing FTs to put themselves up 3 and Cappers missed one at the buzzer to end it.
GTown 94- Bullseyes 91: A low scorer through 3 this game exploded in the 4th with both teams going for 30+. Bunaticky and Huggins both hit clutch shots down the stretch, but Huggins missed the game winner over Bunaticky with 1 second left and Bunaticky proceeded to hit his FTs to finish it.
Venom 102- ATL 100: Allessandro has one of his worst shooting nights of the season, going 3-21 in a tight loss to Venom, on any other night it would have gone the other way, but alas for Allessandro it was not to be.
Suns 105- Pinoy 107: These teams had 2 great games and despite a huge Suns rally in the 4th Pinoy took the series 2-0. Also got the privilege of seeing a Lucky Fan get into at the end for Pinoy.
ATL 102- Pinoy 104: Another close win and huge performance for Whitlock and Pinoy.


Actual Playoff Preview/Predictions
Seeds-B8

1.Xenia-Dominant regular season against other B8ers so far.
2.Suns-Have looked good at times and have the leagues most dominant offense.
3.Pinoy-Picked it up of late to move into 3 seed position.
4.ATL-Get the nod over Bullseyes based on PD

Seeds-G8
1.Droids-All but locked up with huge PD lead over Cappers.
2.Cappers-Unlucky not to get home court after a great regular season.
3.Venom-Currently hold the 3 spot, and have made some pickups.
4.GTown-If they can get the win at Venom this evening they maybe move into the 3 spot, otherwise its a 4 seed for sure.

Round 1
ATL@Xenia-Tough ATL team has a bit of a reputation for letting it get away in big games, and Xenia is just to talented to falter here.
Pinoy@Suns- Pinoy took series 2-0, plus the Nikola/Whitlock combo is tough to stop, I think Pinoy comes through in the clutch again.
GTown@Droids-Not easy, but I'm not letting this chance to promote slip away in the first round.
Venom@Cappers-A case of Venom being unable to match up with Cappers balance.

Round 2
Pinoy@Xenia-Pinoy keeps it close with their explosiveness, but Xenia holds them off in the end.
Cappers@Droids-Could be the match for the championship, at home I think Droids pull it off.

Championship
Xenia@Droids-Droids season long dominance rewarded with promotion to D.III. Leaving Cappers and Xenia to duke it out next season.

I just wanted to take a moment to say that these articles are rather entertaining and you clearly put a lot of work into this. I wouldn't mind getting placed in a league with you someday. You are a one man forum filler. Keep up the good work, I am pretty sure I am not the only one following along.

Obviously a nice player, Probably the best in USA IV. But there's a reason for that...there's no possible way for you to afford him more than a few weeks.

The common sense advice you'll get is to turn that guy around and sell him immediately, and invest in a few young (18-20 yo) trainees with good potentail. Or buy a handful of $5000-$10000 players if you wish to get more competative in the short term.

Group hug!

Not a great pickup, his salary will bankrupt you quickly. Instead work on arena expansion and around 10k salary guys.
