ooooooooooo

both teams either PON'd or POCT;d - either way, a very ballsy move by TAK and a very ballsy move by Sid also - either team could have just dumped a dud lineup and saved the enthusiasm. woulda spelt disaster for Sid if he had.

look at that game shape on both teams! awesome stuff. No injuries as well from G2.

im struggling to pick a winner here. HCA for TAK. so i gotta go with the home team. barring any injuries or stupid foul trouble.

Judging by the ratings I'm guessing they both played PCT. Should be an interesting game 3...

I can tell you the ABBL is watching this as well. Do we get the lovable Akuma and his XBB hall of fame team or do we have the "pleasure" of having Sid back in our ranks again with his amazing trainees and smelly rentals?

Don't see Bryce training an 18 year old he will be selling him I imagine. Bobby Locke no-one ever knows he was the silent man of the ABBL. This is uncharted territory for him.

Thanks Sid! That was pretty much the hardest BB game I've ever played, and it was a game that could've gone either way. Well done to you on a masterful season. Just a bit of bad luck losing to hadders during the regular season, and opening the door to allow me HCA for the finals.

In saying that... thanks for beating Sid for me Hadders! You are this season's true champion! :D

I thought I was done for after checking during the middle of the first quarter and saw that my guys were on 8 fouls and were losing 18-11 or something like that.

Ky Duffill for MVP!!!!!!

well done to both Sid and Akuma for showing us a truely awesome Div II finals series. After all the millions of dollars in salary and player (and staff) purchases, and the months of mind games, forum chatter and just general bulldust being spilt by all - only 10 points was the difference in the end.

I think also the BB gods were smiling on this result - Of the two, Sid is probably the best placed to recover, given his current crop of trainee's - a loss to TAK could have seen him dissolve into the BB ether.

At least we know Sid will defiantely bounce back in some form or another and it will be nice to see his trainee's grow.

So i guess there was at least one eternal question answered tonight - How long can Akuma keep up his team of big salary players? Well.... at least one season so far.

It would be interesting to hear from the old timers of this game, but I doubt if a team in Div 2 has ever beaten a team with a total players salary of 950K, in order to promote.

Duffill certainly had a good game, Ott did a great job on him in game 2 but got beaten pretty badly in game 3.

If I had of some how managed to sneak a win I had thoughts of buying Duffill and Smeltz to allow them back into the ABBL.

Certainly the loss will have a sincere impact on my team and will put me back a few seasons.

Hopefully the sale of Linares, Cranshaw and Grund will clear my debt.

I might have to consider selling Noah and Riviera, as they will be too old by the time Im good enough to get another shot of promotion.
