So, it is to be the battle of the bast..4th seeds. This is an attritional season indeed.

Congrats to Lemons on his progression to the finals and also congrats to the Crusaders on a great season, ended by but a single point in the closest of nailbiters.

Yeah I thought I was going to lose when I saw he used GDP. That was the best lineup I could play on the day, my 5 theoretical starters all starting for the first time this season.

I thought everyone kind of expected Galaxy Walkers to sleepwalk through the playoffs and instead he sold towards the end of the season. Gauson got killed by bad GS and Erks, Doncaster and Atletas lost too many games early on.

Congrats to the two finalists. Certainly not the final I had in mind at the start of the playoffs, but both thoroughly deserving!

Not feeling too confident on my decider, but whatever happens, this brief stint back up here has been fun and although i'd prefer not too, going down could give me a bit more freedom training wise to really get Akinci to the level i'd like him at.

And good luck to all the teams trying to avoid going down that dark hole called Division II. I cannot recall a season as exciting as this one! Next season it'll be a real struggle to try and stay at the EBBL for my lot!
All the best,

Hono

Yes, very exciting season, even to an outsider. If Elmacca wins with what would be in essence his third different squad that would be an outstanding achievement.

Good luck to both finalists. No matter the seedings both clearly deserve it. Winning is all that matters.

Let's hope not: that would mean I lose probably :)

I would love me some Konrad Wojcicki just about now.

LOL, not only the first finals to feature two teams that won 23 games between them, but the first to have both teams abandon GDP and play patient.
May the most patient team win! 😀

All 3 relegation deciders look like fights to the death at halftime. Nobody is going quietly, which is as it should be.

'grats on staying up Erkboy!
I have no idea how I managed it myself (if you want to put in an appeal Vycka you might find a dodgy ref or two were officiating our game) I kinda feel I didn't deserve it. Great performance by my team in both wins though. Triple double today :D
Glad I did stay up though (semi-obvious), this isn't a team/squad that should get relegated - it's so much better than those I've had before, and 4 of my top 7 are young enough to not start dropping next season either (It should be 6 out of 7 probs, but I got tempted by shiny older players in the 2nd half of this season, ha)

I'm not sure any of those in the relegation games deserved to go down actually, EBBL this season was definitely the strongest it's been since I've been here - I mean depth wise/strength overall, I don't think there's a team as good as the best Vecx/Gully/a few other ones?

So yeah, unlucky to all those relegated today...All good teams though and I doubt there's (m)any in d2 who can stop you coming straight back up if you want to.

'mon Lemon and a good finals game 3 after that :)
