S15 - SBBL League update - The Playoff Preview

Big 8
=====
The Donkeys (Home) vs Singapore Showstoppers (Away)
Season 15 playoff would be the first appearance for both teams, which has shown rapid improvement from last season. The Donkey were demoted from SBBL last two seasons ago, but clawed their way back again to IBBL on this season. Meanwhile, the Showstoppers, known as their strong offensive games, has displayed more intensity on this season, which earned them an over .500 win on this season. Their recent acquisition, Hongkong NT Giant Noel Lima, hugely beef up their inside game offensively & defensively. But as the story was written, the Donkey unexpectedly has walked off from the League, means this match will be an automatic win for the Showstoppers.

Shohoku Backers (Home) vs Sessioes Doers (Away)
One of the "must watch" playoff game as the Defending Champs Shohoku Backers will start their second championship quest by hosting another hottest Big 8 team Sessioes Doers. This match would be much more a rivalry ones, as both team were facing each other on last season playoff, with 103-91 win for the Backers. Now SHB are no more with their hero Captain Ow Pin Keong, will they able to hold on for the much confident Sessioes Doers team, after their first appearance on the SGP Tournament Final? Remember, they almost robbed away the 1st Tournament championship from Whampoa Allstars.

Great 8
=======
Cheesecake (Home) vs Birds Birds (Away)
Another one sided-match on Season 15 playoff match, as the Birds Birds has most of their players departed away from team. So, Cheesecake will catch a break by earning an automatic wins to head on to semifinal. However, they are going to lose two of their key players, Justin Linde-Liepins and Vincent Katic due to 2 weeks injury. Both of them are likely won't be playing any of playoff games.


Pekanbaru Jaguars vs Fat Alexander
The most bad-blooded rivalry match. Jaguars and Fat-A have met up for 3 straight times playoff games, dated from season 13, once at quarter-final and twice at Semifinals, with Fat-A lead 2-1 on the playoff head-to-head. The Jaguars failed to gain the 1st seed after surrendered their regular finale to Cheesecake 73-76, which lead them to the early rivalry war with Fat-A. This time, Jaguars slightly will have the edge by playing host to Fat-A as visitor. But still, it's not Fat-A team if they are not planning to run deep on the playoff. Fat-A has just acquired Germany's 170k bigman Karel Jagannathan just before the trade deadline expired. With his presence, Fat-A is expected to overpower the Jaguars inside, after the Jaguars being left thin on the inside presence. Phillipines Sofronio Mabutol, the Jaguars new acquisition, was ruled out of playoff after injured his left quad on last scrimmage games. Will Jaguars survive the new look of Fat-A team? Only miracle knows...

Haha, if i didn't strengthen my squad after selling Singapore national E.Chakalis i would have no chance against you. This is going to be the most epic playoffs, sad that there are two bot teams though.

Yeah, I would do the same thing. Chaikalis was good for Merchandise money, but didn't fulfil your team need. Can't wait for tomorrow game ...

Donkey and Birds are really a strong build team, they weren't easy to beat on their own homecourt.
If you ever seen their players that being released, most of them have good attributes (Defense, Shooting, Stamina) to build a good team.

For the first time in BB history, Relegation games look interesting as well...

Whampoa Allstars (Home) vs SLZH (Away)
SGP Tournament Defending Champions Whampoa Allstars failed to make into playoff for the first time in a decade of SGP Buzzerbeaters League, and now they must fight off SLZH to avoid being delegated to Div II. SLZH enjoyed their first experience of SBBL, but still hit by injuries and inconsistency as they still adapting with the "hot weather" of SBBL league. Recent purchase on Frenchie Roméo Laigre seems promising, dropped 29pts on 11-16 shooting on his debut vs CCC. But the honeymoon should stop here, because the opponent is much tougher, experienced. If SLZH still show those mid-season performance, no surprise they could be wiped out easily.

Compassvale United (Home) vs Eric United (Away)
This one would be the most awaiting match, as it will decide whether Eric Utd, one of the IBBL longest tenure, are able to survive the Relegation match. Compassvale Utd owned the home court advantage, means that Eric Utd must steal one game at Compassvale Indoor Stadium. From players quality, Eric Utd still look like their old style, running and gunning with Milan Vukic patroling on the middle. So, does it means Compassvale will be in trouble? Not that easy with their newly purchased sharpshooter Point Guard, Giovanni Dushku. Now it's all depends on the team luck and player conditioning.

Good luck guys, match starting in 1min. May the best win.

so envy cheesecake & showstoppers, no sweat & heartbeat on quarter finals...

Sigh my new player is not playing well at all. Good game.

Nice game everyone, like watching Fat.A vs PJ.. Haha, real nice def u guys had.
