League III.8 Conference Finals

With the conference finals nearing tommorow, there are lots to be said about the dynamics of League III.8. In the Great 8, there have been 4 powerhouses all season long and the 4th seed in the Great 8 has a better record than the 1st seed in the Big 8. In the Great 8, heavy favourites to win the division, Green Machines defeated Kahraba in a hard-fought game with elbows and fouls. The Machines' adversary in the conference finals will be I Wor Kuen, who defeated Tigercats Basketball (who should be heavily considered as the winner of One and Done.) Run-and-Gun I Wor Kuen is not an active team and rarely checks anymore but still proves a heavy threat against the Look Inside Green Machines setting up an epic battle in the conference finals.

In the other conference, the Toronto Assassins clinched 1st place with a run in the end of the season narrowly fending off Jhak Telecom and the underdog Rouge et Or who finished the season on a 8-0 run going from 5th to 3rd. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Toronto Raptors 9 on the other end of the spectrum finished the season 4-4 but just got in front of the Maulers for 4th place. The Toronto Assassins demolished the Toronto Raptors lead by All-time Great Center Parcemon Vasquez and his sidekick PF Rico Cyr. With that they advanced to the Conference finals..but who would join this team?
Jhak Telecom and Rouge et Or met and in a close-fought game Jhak Telecom took a small lead at halftime, but Rouge et Or stormed back led by Beniamin Soblobak, Matija Dogovic, and the 35 year old chugging along Rodrigo Brenta who finished with 33 pts to take the game. This sets up a game between Toronto Assassins and Rouge et Or. Although the Assassins are favourites, the underdogs could give them a run for their money with their balanced gameplay. Whatever happens however, each team will have to guard the other team's centers. Beniamin Soblobak vs Parcemon Vasquez is the key matchup.

Conference Finals: Toronto Assassins vs Rouge et Or
Green Machines vs I Wor Kuen

In a league with great rookies coming fresh from Division IV: Tigercats Basketball, Rouge et Or, and Toronto Raptors 9, this division could generate a lot of interest in the future and could become very strong. That's it from Division III.8.

Oh yeah my predictions? Rouge et Or facing Green Machines in the Finals with Green Machines promoting...but anything could happen.

Thanks lol, well should be interesting either way :D

Great article. Hope I prove you right. Big game tonight!

god damn it, my pg didn't win the mvp. they gave the mvp to a 4th place team like wtf. my team is livid to say the least. tonight i am not even starting my best line up in protest. the league wants to screw my over i may just sit my all my stars all 3 games in protest. they don't deserve all the great tv ratings they will get from watching my team.

I think you have no trouble beating my team with anyone on your roster.
Any other div.III teams with $116,000 total team salary in finals?

to be fair your conference was pretty weak. thats gonna benefit you next year because you should have and easy road to the finals again next year. My team really benefited from spending 5 or 6 years in DIII. i was able to train guys however i wanted while still being good enough to make the playoffs and usually win a game. i slowly built my arena up, while training the guys i drafted and signing canadian players.

I think your better off drafting and developing your own players in the long run instead of going to the TL especailly if your a new player or plan on sticking around for mulitple seasons. I wish i saved up so more money because new year i would have set myself up alot better. Now next season looks like it will be quite the struggle because i spent money like a idiot early on when i should have 700k to a mil saved up.

116k salary isn't that much. My team has 200k and they're really not that strong for Div. III.

thats why you should go easy on my $159k team :)
