Game 1 of the finals is done and the final relegation series completed!

Isca Centurion vs BC Zalgiris
Game 1 of the finals was won by the away team BC Zalgiris 87-79, behind a big 35 point game by Gallagher. MVP Ka Lun struggled in the game shooting only 4-21FG. Isca were led by MVP runner up Kemp who had 27 points, but it took him 26 shot attempts to get to that mark.

In another blow to Isca's chances, Sze Kong picked up an unfortunate injury after an impressive start to the game with 10 points in 18 minutes. This will make Isca's chances of a comeback with difficult.

Zalgiris have taken a 1-0 and now head back home for game 2 where they will hope to end the series in 2 games.

Alaus Putytes vs Reds BC
Do or die game 3.... and it was Alaus Putytes that came out victors in a 102-85 game. Alaus saw star man Cobby go down injured after only 2 minutes which I'm sure will have sent panic to Kasukasuka. But their team were able to battle through and still come out with the win. Congratulations to Kasukasuka on retaining their EBBL status in their first season.

The 5 teams relegated from the EBBL this season are:
Reds BC
North London United
Gophers
Arsenal 98
Mortal Wombats

In the division 2 finals, 3/4 home teams won. Scunthorpe Devils scraped passed Roaring Lions 99-97 in d2.1. Bethnal Green Erks beat Cempionai by 13 with lower effort in d2.2. Galaxy Walkers were the only away team to win with a 107-85 win over London Daredevils who went with lower enthusiasm in D2.3. Finally in d2.4, Gauson beat Trefas Team 106-91.

There was no point to fight, different categories lol Love seeing so many expensive players on the market, budget kicks dumb arses?

Congratulations to Vycka on another title!

We gave it our best shot but needed to win the first home game to have a chance. Looking forward to next season now.

The playoff are done!

BC Zalgiris vs Isca Centurions
BC Zalgiris secured back-to-back titles with a 100-71 win in game 2 behind 37 points from Gallagher. Isca once again had a player go off injured early when Ziyang departed in the 1st half, but the game was pretty much over by then anyway after a 33-15 1st quarter from Zalgiris. Isca went all in on Zalgiris attacking inside but Vycka avoided that with a RNG offence.

Congratulations to Vycka on his 6th EBBL title, moving up to 3rd all-time.

In D2.1, Scunthrope Devils completed their unbeaten regular season with a title after they were pushed to 3 games by Roaring Lions. Scunthorpe Devils reach the EBBL for the first time! Congratulations to Lucky!

D2.2 was more straight forward as Bethnal Green Erks completed a 2 game sweep of Cempionai. Bethnal return to the EBBL after a 10 season absence. Congratulations to Erkboy!

D2.3 saw a shock playoff winner as 3rd seed Galaxy Walkers overcame home court advantage in every round to earn promotion to the EBBL. They beat London Daredevils in 2 games in the finals. They return to the EBBL after a 5 season absence. Congratulations to soure!

Gauson dominated D2.4 after a 21-1 season and an average win margin of 21.25 points in the playoffs and will bounce back to the EBBL at the first time of asking. Congratulations to hono!

Thanks to Scunthorpe's game 3 playoff win, London Daredevils will also be promoted back to the EBBL after only 1 season back in division 2 thanks to having the best D2 record to not win their playoffs. Congratulations to theBlackSky

Congrats to BC Zalgiris for another trophy!! It feels great to be back, do not know how long for but will definitely enjoy it! I am thinking about changing my team name to "Elevator", it goes down and then up all the time...I lost count long ago. Good luck to all, I cannot wait to start. Cheers!

I'm renaming my team the abseilers because we go down a lot quicker than we come up.

It'll be fun playing against your Erks again!

Great write ups as always mate!

Congratulations to Vycka on another title!

Good to see the elevator and the abseilers back!

I am pretty sure the Wasps will keep on stinging.
