While there is a very slim chance any one of 5-7 teams in Great 8 could make it to 4th place, my focus now is to get enthusiasm as high as possible for playoffs.
In Great 8 we can do that while Big 8 has to fight all they can for position.

No, #5 has the highest shot to make the 4th spot, all it has to do is not lose anymore games, I feel confident enough to say
that.
#4 will have to win both games by big margins to upset that, is doable sure, but percentage wise not on its favor.



I think the BIG 8 positions are pretty much set other than AZ and Blue, #1 is six games ahead of #2, #3 is three games ahead of #4 with two games left and #4 is two games ahead of #5, but with an 88 PD. and I can't see them erasing that many PD in two games.

Dont beat yourself up. Many seasons ago I have come up to D III with what I thought was a killer roster only to drop back down to IV. It just takes time and LUCK. No critical injuries, no mistake lineups (having your Thursday scrimmage squad play league games).

best of luck to you.

Yeah, You definitely going in to relegation, but from what I see at this moment the odds are in your favor to win it, which to be honest I don't know if that's a good thing....

Just remember every time you go up a league or down, more likely is going to be a marathon, and mostly if you have bad luck and land on the harder side.


Cause a team like yours on our side be rank 4th right now, so just hang in there after all this game in general is huge marathon, and have fun while doing it.

The mighty Balls of Steel just won their 4th straight league game, moving us from 7th to 6th in great 8 conference standings.

One more league game and it time for relegation play.

Last night The Sunburn played the Blue Vikings to settle the #2 seed and home court in the first round of the playoffs for the Big 8. The Vikings stayed in the game often threatening to take the lead throughout but the 'Burn prevailed by sinking free throws at the end of the game. The difference in the game was the number of Turnovers and Free Throw percentage for the Sunburn. Great game Vikings, we will see you in the playoffs.

The Great 8's race is great to watch. If the Navajo Nation can pull off a win, they just might squeak into the playoffs. That is unless Pony Express chokes against Petersburg. The first games of the season had Express win by 12 and the Advent win by 17 against Chicago.

My prediction for the Great 8 final regular-season standings:
1. Pony Express 18-4 +306
2. Dallas Rhythm 14-8 +250ish
3. Navajo Nation Advent 13-9 +201
4. Chicago Bulls 13-9 +194
5. Petersburg 12-10 +198

I'm torn. Originally my intention was to rest all the starters to insure a health starting 5 for the playoffs, but I picked NNA to make the playoffs. Do I try to make my prediction true or do what is best for my team?

I tried to steal one from Navajo on the road, but the game ended with a pretty wacky turn of events.

(https://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/118288785/reportmatch.a...)

40 seconds left, down by 1, my team has the ball... The entire shot clock runs down with nothing happening, plus an additional 15 seconds after the shot clock ran out with nothing happening! No change of possession until 1 second left - "turnover". You're telling me my team ran out the clock with no violation, or there was a ball scramble for at least a full 15 seconds? Madness!

My experience is that whenever the shot clock runs down like that, and then there is no game commentary 100% of the time a turnover will occur.
It is maddening!
