Good luck to the Conference Champions as tonight is Game 1 of the NBBA Finals!! Should be an interesting series!! One of these teams will be winning their first Major Gold trophy :-)
Only $600+ separates these two payrolls...as they both are lucky $777K. Only $11K separates each teams top 8 players. So on paper, each starting unit will be comparable and they have equal depth as well. One injury or foul trouble may very well determine this series.
Arizona Cacti brings slightly more DMI into the series, 13 million to 12 million (rough estimate)
Just like the Great 8 Conference Championship, this series will be a contrast in styles. Normally BB favors inside tactics over outside...but that didn't phase Arizona Cacti at all in their game against Eugene as they finessed their way to a 35-6 advantage in attempts at the free throw line over the pound them inside Register-Guard.
I think it will take more of that for Arizona Cacti to overcome HCA and the phenomenal front court big men of High Point. But maybe Dunkface has put together the right combination of outside attacking players to finally show that a true outside team can win at that highest level in BB.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this series plays out!! Here's hoping for an injury free series so the complete compliment of players for each team can determine who the best team in the NBBA this season is!
Congrats to both of you on a terrific season, and Good luck in the Championship Series!
