The Great 8 playoffs are pretty much all settled as the WWIAFTM finally moved a game ahead of daquan. On the other side of the league, 5 teams are tied for the final 2 playoff spots. The Lakers have all but clinched the Great 8 while the Stallions clinched it weeks ago. All that’s left is the final standings of the league.
1. (1) Cincinnati Lakers
The Lakers top spot was called in to question as they faced a tough road test at Bollingbrook. In a tough contest they came away with a 7 point win. The Tigers almost managed to come from behind in the fourth quarter, but through the play of JMLC and Grdimir Portada they managed to win. The two cominbed for 46 points.
2. (2) Coal Miners
The Miners got some confidence back with a nice 36 point win over Jet Life and by doubling up on the bubble blowing double babbies. Narces Dalleres scored 28 points in the big win Saturday. They also got solid contributions from their back-ups in the win over Jet Life.
3.(3) Tenn Stallions
The Stallions put the clamps on the Philadelphia Heat offense. They only gave up 28 points while lighting them up for 93 points. Jamie Sena was the most consistent offense threat this week, averaging 16.5 points in two games this week. The Stallions look primed for a run to the finals this year.
4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers
The Bollingbrook Tigers once again proved that there still nowhere close to a pushover. They pushed the Lakers to the limit and Yu Yufa moved to the second leading scorer while Matthew Jackson continues to be the top rebounder in the conference. They could definitely cause some trouble in the playoffs.
5.(6) WWIAFTM
WWIAFTM might have finally played themselves into the playoffs. They beat daquan by 26 and now hold a slim one game lead with two to play over them for the final playoff spot. Bosko Zekovic came up huge in that win dropping 28 points along with 17 rebounds.
6.(8) macintosh
macintosh beat 6th place Jet Life pretty handily to show that there still better than their newer counterpart. They might finish 7th but I think in the future they can be special. They have two people in the top 10 scorers in the league including the leading scorer, Barkus Komskis. They have a chance to beat the Lakers in a trap game on Tuesday.
7.(5) Jet Life
Jet Life had a rough week. They lost their first game since changing managers and dropped another game. They might only finish with 9 wins but they have a great ground for next season. Their last two games include a the Lakers and the Tigers.
8.(NR) opelousa boyzz
opelousa opened up strong with a win over brickny. They lucked into a playoff spot but are going to need to work if they want to be seen as a threat once the playoffs come around.
Game of the Week: jeppers @ Miami Snakes
This game is important because it not only could determine who will play who in the RL but because both teams are very alive for a playoff spot. They winner of this game could easily sneak there way into the playoffs while the loser will have to wait until next year.
