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.

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!

I like how easily you put it "unless Express chokes against Petersburg"

Like peterburg is an easy win......

I never said Petersburg was an easy win. I just think Pony Express has a better team and has the momentum. He said he was considering resting his team - which I hadn't considered in my prediction. It's an interesting race that came down to the wire.

By the way Express... ALWAYS do what's best for your team. Always!

Good luck in the final game of the season everyone!

You're in a bit of a pickle in my opinion,

Cause to me Petersburg is like that bear that is hibernating you don't want to poke
and end up like Leo in The Revenant .

but if you decide to take him out now, who knows


So, good luck with whatever decision you pick.

Ok, usually that countdown you're watching is your team's time out counting down. goes without saying that It's a glitch, but I said it anyway....

I know cause it happened to me way too many times, and then I noticed that If I refresh the window when it gets to zero, the regular timer comes back on.

But that my experience, that's all I know.

Yeah, but it sounded funny to put it just like if Express chokes against Petersburg, sounded like Peterburg has no saying..ha ha

Have you noticed that petersburg has been holding back all season?

if P. Express rest his players peterburg more likely will jump to #3 spot , Navajo Nation Advent will move to the #4 spot
and Chicago Bulls JG will be left out the post season.

No joke, this is a very highly scenario, and I'm calling it!

if P. Express loses big.

Respect to Vietnam Vets on the last game of the season decided to go out swinging

Best of luck in relegation and future seasons.
