Easter Review...

So, it's Sunday morning, the Easter Bunny has come and gone. I'm having a coffee and looking at the JBL Standings. It's been years since I've seen a title race this close. 5 teams are still in contention. Each and every 3 pointer made and missed right now can move a team up or down in that category. As I've said here before - I think 3PT% will be the determining factor on who wins this puppy.

So, thought I would have a look at each teams' chances of winning the title.

Let's start with Juan de Fuca. Currently at 1012 points. Let's see if they can gain points in certain categories or are at risk of losing points.

Juan de Fuca (1012 points)

3PT% - looks like they will finish 1st here - +/- no points

PTS - currently 1st - I think they will finish either 1st or 2nd. Could lose -20 points.

ATO - no movement anticipated.

STL - Idaho and Yuma closing in. Could lose -26 points

BLK - just 9 blocks back of French - could gain +13 points

REB - no movement anticipated

FG% - in a dog fight with French and Golden - could gain +13 pts or lose -13pts.

So, overall - I think Juan can move up another 26 points or they could lose 59 points.

Golden (1003 points)

3PT% - Could gain +39 points or lose -39 points

PTS - could gain +20 points

ATO - could lose -13 points

STL - could lose -26 points

BLK - no movement expected

REB - no movement expected

FG% - could gain +26 points or could lose -13 points

Overall, room to go up +85 points or could lose -91 points

French Lick (996 points)

3PT% - could gain +26 points

PTS - could gain +20 points or lose -20 points in the short term. (could gain +40 long term)

ATO - could gain +13 points (just .005 behind Seoul)

STL - could gain +26 points (5 back of Seoul; 10 back of Golden)

BLK - Juan just 9 blocks back - could lose -13 points

REB - Yuma just 20 rebs behind - could lose -15 points

FG% - could gain +13 points or lose -26 points

Overall, could gain +98 points or lose -74 points

Seoul (955 points)

3PT% - +13 or -13 - just 0.1 ahead and behind teams

PTS - no movement

ATO - could lose -13 points - French on his tail

STL - +13 or -13 as he's sandwiched between Golden and French

BLK - appears no movement

REB - could gain +15 as he's just 10 rebs behind Arctic

FG% - Already 1st - doesn't appear to be in danger of dropping

Overall, could move up +41 points while he could drop -39 points.

Chilliwack (882 points)

3PT% - could gain +78 points if he got hot from downtown. Can't drop any further.

PTS - could gain +20 with the return of D Rose

ATO - +13 appears possible with the return of Rose and Lowry

STL - +13 appears possible. Unlikely to lose ground

BLK - could lose -13 points due to Arctic's rise

REB - already 1st - no movement expected

FG% - appears locked in for 2nd place in FG%.

Overall, could move up +124 points if everything went perfectly. Could lose -13 points in blocks. At worst, Benny's at 869 and in no apparent danger of dropping out of the top 5.

And finally, since the season is almost over, I thought I would take the opportunity to conduct 'interviews' of JBL owners on their seasons. So, you may be getting an email from me with some questions. If you have a couple of minutes - please answer them and send them back. I'll post them on here and on the site. Might be fun to get some others take on how their seasons went and their perspective on a few things.

Signing off. Happy Easter!
