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 :)

Cheers Bergkamp, same to you. To be honest my team peaked last season and I think I'm a bit fortunate to stay up when younger evenly matched teams went down. I have some more rebuilding to do and will probably slip down in the next couple of seasons, but Vecx convinced me to stay up if at all possible...

I have to apologise to you for involving you in my quest to relegate Doncaster Hawks for his foolishness. The reality is that if I don't throw the game against Erks and I don't train or TIE the last game (I did because there was a good chance I'd win the quarterfinals while training) there is a chance you end 5th with HCA.

No team has broken HCA in the relegation series (Ashington was quite close late in the 4th), it just goes to show that miscalculating when to throw games and not paying attention to PD can be fatal when teams are close to each other in level. And yes, sometimes it's also just down to luck.

As Ma Anhui starts dropping and sheds some salary next season, I think I may consider going down and rebuilding. This is by far not the best team I've had in the EBBL, it's a pity I ended up in the finals with these players and while training some young guys, but surely I'm the last person who can complain after winning 2 road playoff games to reach the finals.

Good luck to everyone going down, I'm sure we'll see you all soon, either in the EBBL or in D2.
