 Analysis & Schedule: The game of the week turned out to be the match-up between Jaguars and 'Ballers which pitted two teams with little room for error (to keep their slim playoff hopes alive!) against each other. 'Ballers put forth playoff-intensity defense and signature teamwork and led practically the entire way. Jaguars tied it in regulation with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer and then won it in unthinkable fashion in OT at the buzzer on a near-full court heave by Arif that banked it! This is more or less how it went down. MKA continues to take care of business and move up in the rankings with a dominant win over the struggling Panthers. Titans also impressing with big wins against key rivals. When asked how they're doing it, Tom Job said, "Chicks 'dig the long ball." SWAT created some much-needed breathing room for themselves in that 8th spot with a win over the scrappy, but winless, Ravens. The remaining two games will be replayed in the coming weeks because of gym unavailability. The West has 4 more weeks of regular season games remaining. The next three games will be put up soon and after that, the final week will be 1vs6, 2vs5, 3vs4 (no top 6 team can drop out of the top 6 at that point) and 7vs12, 8vs11, 9vs10 (the best two remaining records will be the 7th and 8th seeds). Since that makes a total of 12 regular season games, the magic number for playoff eligibility for the West is "6". Also, we can't take any more "special" scheduling requests because it has become impossible to do what's best for the league and for each and every team. Teams' preferences are already duly noted. Once the schedules are up, please find a way to field a team. There's no crying in basketball, unless you're the 'Ballers this past Sunday, in which case it's OK to cry a little. Standings: 1. Strong Island (6-1) 1. Strictly Biz (6-1) 3. MKA-NY (6-2) 4. Titans (5-3) 5. HUMANS (5-3) 6. Hit-Men (4-3) 6. Rukus (4-3) 8. SWAT (4-4) ------------------------ 9. Basketballers (2-6) 9. Panthers (2-6) 9. Jaguars (2-6) 12. Ravens (0-8) |
