No mention for Todd Jefferson as a nightmare match up?

Game 1 of the playoff and relegation series tonight. Sideman and srar are done finally so goodbye to two cpu players. It’s playoff time which means every game is an important one.
So in the relegation series we have
The tiger sharks look to surprise Columbus in game 1
The Mavs take the victory at home vs Chippewa
And Quarantine Age play at the Ball Junkies appearing to the most competitive series

Now for the playoffs
San Diego plays against Pittsburgh in a game that Todd Jefferson looks to show why he is a matchup nightmare
Joao Felix looks to pull off the upset in the cave against Caerbannog
The Lumberjacks look to pound the pixies and move one step closer to the title
And Sofeugg plays Phantom in the most appealing matchup in this round

Biff and Gus now have less to talk about, the playoff games are set and now is time for action. For everyone hosting games tonight it’s time for BB2NIGHT!

Season 50 Awards:

MVP:

Todd Jefferson, San Diego Eagles

Runner-Up: Ivan Petrenko, The Phantom Thieves

Analysis: Jefferson the obvious choice with the huge scoring totals and high efficiency. Petrenko a close second because he's just so damn good. Derick Herrington from CC Mavs is a great player, but if you want to be in the running for MVP, you need to make the playoffs.

Season 50, League III.5 All-BuzzerBeater Teams:

1st Team:

G: Todd Jefferson, San Diego Eagles
G: Nathan Terrell, Columbus Comets
F: Ivan Petrenko, The Phantom Thieves
F: Derick Herrington, CC Mavs
C: Brock Koenig, The Phantom Thieves

Analysis: No surprises here, all well-deserved. Some controversy if Einsiedel should be on the first team in the place of Herrington, but with numbers basically the same, Herrington's advanced defensive metrics put him over the top. Einsiedel the odd man out in a log jam at Forward.

2nd Team:

G: David Bacon, The Phantom Thieves
G: Erik Kozma, Joao Felix FC
F: Svetsilav Branezac, Sofuegg
F: Domenik Einsiedel, Columbus Comets
C: Miroslav Lipatov, Pixies

Analysis: Lipatov pushed Koenig for the 1st team, but I have a feeling we will see Niesen around these parts soon.

3rd Team:

G: Pavlos Doxakis, Sofuegg
G: Maxim Pastukhov, Caerbannog Bunnies
F: Isaac Elliot, Caerbannog Bunnies
F: Naum Ganchev, Pittsburgh Pressure
C: Matt Felton, QuarantineAge, Mutant Ninja Turtles

Analysis: Pastukhov could have made 2nd team at any position, but most likely due to training, he hopped around quite a bit so he finds himself on the 3rd team. He makes it at guard mostly because of his July 25th PG performance against Sofuegg. Zoran Alempijevic from Joao Felix FC a tough leave off the 3rd team.

Missed BB2NIGHT for the semifinal games, so time to go for a quick recap of last night.

The Lumberjacks won again against Phantom
The Bunnies defeated San Diego, through some questionable choices
In the Relegation series
Columbus defeated tiger sharks
CC Mavs swept Chippewa
And Quarantine Age beat the ball junkies

Overall the Big 8 went 6-0 vs the Great 8 in the relegation series

As for other news, the Finals will be between Caerbannog and Hayward, Hayward looks to have the advantage on paper, but maybe the bunnies can pull fast one on them. Look forward to game one on Tuesday

In the transfer market it is fire sale galore. The eagles just decided to sell 4 players, Joao Felix decided to sell 3, Sofeugg still trying to sell their training products, Pittsburgh decided to sell Daza, and the ball junkies and pixies choose to sell some roll players. Everyone is selling so now might be a good time to buy.

Welcome to the league III.5 finals between the Caerbannog Bunnies and the Hayward Lumberjacks in the Leinenkugel Forum. We will break down the only matchup of the night.

The starting lineups are expected to be,
For Caerbannog: Ketelaere, Elliot, Kim, Gabriele, and Pastukhov
For Hayward: Christian, Mygashko, Stoen, Hennart, and Vereza

Analysis: The Lumberjacks are favorite on paper. The bunnies will need to play well defensively against Stoen and Vereza, I think they the answer for Stoen, not necessarily Vereza. The Bunnoes will be able score with Elliot controlling the game against a very similar defense that played against San Diego. However the Lumberjacks offense is superior and they will not be caught by surprise.

Final Score Prediction: Hayward:104 Caerbannog:90

Game 2 of the finals tonight, same teams obviously but tonight we play in the cave. Biff and Gus here The rabbit of Caerbannog was nice enough to let us in the arena for what should a more competitive game 2. Game 1 produced a 42 point win for Hayward one of the biggest blowouts in finals history. The bunnies should be able to provide a more interesting game this time around.

The starting lineups, I would assume to be the same for game 1 for Hayward. The bunnies must choose to change some things, either position wise, or personnel.

Analysis: The bunnies should play better at home, however unless the rabbit of Caerbannog adds a few skeletons of Hayward players to its collection of bones, I don’t see the bunnies winning tonight.
Hayward: 97 Caerbannog: 92

Congrats Coach netteb16 and to the LumberJacks on a perfect season. You deserve it! Good Luck in your promotion.

Congrats on a well played and coached season. I am proud of the way that my team played, but I knew that beating the Lumberjacks would take a Herculean effort. Best of luck to you next season.

Congratulations on the win and thank you for respecting a team you destroyed for 3 straight seasons lol. Have a good one at the next level!
