OK, tonight's the night.
It all comes down to this.
I'm going to give 110% and make it happen.
I'm going to take it one game at a time.
Whatever happens, happens.
It is what it is.
It's time to put all the cliches aside and play some Fantasy hoops. Here's the situation for tonight...
Seoul is up by 3.
Seoul will likely have 10 guys playing (Lebron is out - apparently)
Golden will likely have 10 guys playing (Bosh is out- pussy)
Let's look at the categories where there could be some movement...
3PT%
Seoul is at 34.669 and Bangkok is at 34.795. So, its possible.
Golden is at 36.215 and French Lick is at 36.323. Again, possible.
It will take tremendous efforts from Golden and Seoul to move up...but anything is possible.
ATO
Golden can move here for sure. He is just .001 behind Boston. 13 points up for grabs. Now, on the other hand, Golden is only 0.010 ahead of Yuma so Golden could drop (with a bad night). There is an outside chance that Seoul could catch Bangkok (0.011 behind) but I don't think it will happen.
PTS
Neither team is going anywhere
REBS
Seoul is in 1st and I don't think Juan will catch him.
Golden starts the night 9 rebounds behind Arctic. Again, Golden will not have Bosh and Carl Landry is also done for the year.
Arctic is likely to have 11 players going with the big boys Howard, Horford, and Love being counted on to maintain the rebound edge.
It goes without saying this would be a huge category of interest tonight for Golden.
FG%
No movement expected
STLS
Seoul is just 4 steals behind Belgrade. Again, Seoul should have 10 guys going while Belgrade is pretty banged up and at most could have 10 guys playing - but I think it's going to be more like 5 guys as Aldridge, Boozer, Gooden, Baron and Eric Gordon could all sit out. This would be a huge 13 pts for Seoul and if he gets it, which I suspect he will, it would force Golden to move up in 2 categories as the Seoul lead would be 16 points.
Golden still needs to steal well as Yuma and Juan are within striking distance.
BLKS
This is another key category for Golden. They are 1 block ahead of the Wack and absolutely, 100%, must maintain that lead in order for them to have a chance to win. The Wack will play 10 guys as Kobe and AK47 are likely out. Big category to monitor for Golden tonight.
So...who wins it? You tell me.
Here's my 2 cents on what I predict will happen (I'm typing this at 4:07pm)...
Seoul passes Belgrade in steals and takes a 16 point lead.
Golden fails to pass Boston in ATO; doesn't catch Arctic in rebounds; and is unable to nip French in 3PT%....which give Seoul his 4th JBL title.
I think the miraculous 24th period that Golden has been having comes to an end tonight and I come up just short.
Some other predictions....
Idaho finishes 12th
Belgrade remains in 11th
Brussels finishes 10th and gets his 2 keepers
Boston grabs 9th
Yuma gets 8th (duh) - he's been guaranteed that since week 8
Chilliwack gets to keep that shiny 7th place ribbon
Arctic grabs 6th
Juan takes 5th
Bangkok breaks even and grabs the final money spot
French Lick grabs 3rd on the strength of his scoring and 3PT% shooting.
More later....
