~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rankings-
1) Ghostown DJs (Shawndme7) (40-13), 304.1, (LR=1) - Latest win streak means I can go the whole season without ranking a rookie #1. Good job Shawn! Now lose in the second round pronto.

2) Gonzo's Ghoulies (cgonz00cc)(40-13), 301.0, (2) - Impressive rookie regular season debut. 300+ average has only been accomplished once in this league (by yours truly) so a masterful job and commendation is in effect. But...don't mean a thing without that ring.

3) Washington DC Brunchers (basa20003) (36-17), 297.1, (3) - I've seen pics of Basa online (no-stalk-o)...so I made a voodoo doll that looks like him and I'm going to hex him to make tons of mistakes in his first round match up...hehehe.

4) Tribeca HiBrows (ernest +1) (36-17), 283.5, (4) - The LeBron James of Survivor. I think it's time for realignment lol

5) Virgin Island Presidents (theothursdays) (31-22), 288.1, (5) - Theo has been under the radar all season after a rocky start. I would LMAO if he actually snuck in and won it all.

6) Coney Island Bad Boys VIII (cenario) (28-25), 281.8, (7) - Rondo, Rondo, Rondo, Rondo, Rondo...if he don't ball C gonna lose to Gonzo (or Shawn or Theo).

7) Oakland Cardpullers (MrHood75) (28-25), 274.8, (6) - Man, the Black conference is shaping up to be very uninteresting. I can't even manufacture story lines. Hoods had a solid season but it all feels like they are all lambs to Ern's slaughter.

8) Stanley Forms a Wall (JBoogs) (27-26), 268.8, (8) - See Oakland.

9) Englewood GunViolence (theinfamousdvs) (26-27), 271.0, (9) - See Oakland...BUT, Englewood has the goods to scare some folx. WHY didn't I think LaVine would come back ballin'? SMH

10)Northeast DC (magilla) (30-23), 260.5, (10) - Luckiest man alive and should be playing the stock market and lottery right today. Might even luck into a conference finals bid...and the buck will stop there.

11)Chino Hills Big Ballers (ryanm) (19-34), 247.5, (14) - Still trying though practically eliminated from the playoffs. Heart of a former champ.

12)Chi.ESL Markrakanens (auragin_boi) (22-31), 271.4, (11) - L steak going, Boogie down (BRONX). Without a miracle (and there's a few hopefuls on my roster) my season ends at the first round.

13)L.A. Oatmeal Faces (TheRealBillyOcean) (17-36), 246.2, (13) - Better luck next year (lol and yes, I know RBO is making the playoffs)

14)Ozarks GOBs (ceej) (19-34), 253.2, (12) - Ceej's team committed suicide a month ago. Better luck next year.

15)Waiters Isle Rappity Raps (DJR3) (13-40), 231.1, (15) - BLNY (don't even warrant the full sentence)

16)Restown Smerf City Slamz (Merf2384) (12-41), 221.3, (16) - BLNY (and pay the damn fee already! lol)

Playoff predictions:
As has been the case for the past 2-3 seasons, my predictions are based on the playoff compare tool: https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087

I will assume seedings based on current record and assumption of where each team finally lands.

With that said:
Black Conference-
Seeds
1) Tribeca (Ern)
2) NE DC (Magilla)
3) Oakland (Hood)
4) Englewood (DVS)
5) Stanley (Boogs)
6) LA (RBO)


First Round
6) LA (RBO) vs 3) Oakland (Hood)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=13&team2=16
Prediction: 3-2 Oakland in a series much closer than expected

5) Stanley (Boogs) vs 4) Englewood (DVS)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=2&team2=15
Prediction: 3-1 Englewooooooooood

Second Round
4) Englewood (DVS) vs 1) Tribeca (Ern)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=15&team2=14
Prediction: UPSET CITY BABY!!! 3-2 Englewooooooooooooood

3) Oakland (Hood) vs 2) NE DC (Magilla)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=16&team2=7
Prediction: 3-2 NE DC

Conference final
4) Englewood (DVS) vs 2) NE DC (Magilla)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=15&team2=7
Prediction: 3-2 Englewooooooooooooooood DVS makes it to the finals as a ROOKIE!

White Conference-
Seeds
1) Ghoulies (Gonzo)
2) Ghostown (Shawn)
3) DC (Basa)
4) VI (Theo)
5) Coney Isle (Dep Commish)
6) ChiESL (Commish)

The #1 seed will depend on Westbrook playing tomorrow against Clev. On top of that, even if he plays, Shawn might still lose the last game of the season to Theo while Gonzo is likely winning out. Shawn will lose best record by 1 game and if not careful with his scores over the last 5 games, might be at risk of losing highest avg also (which are both payable achievements to Gonzo should he win them, actually, he'll get them anyway as Shawn's ineligible to collect).

First Round
6) ChiESL (Commish) vs 3) DC (Basa)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=3&team2=6
Prediction: 3-1 DC

5) Coney Isle (Dep Commish) vs 4) VI (Theo)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=5&team2=10
Prediction: 3-2 VI - Jokic, Oladipo and Ben Simmons ultimately prove to be too much.

Second Round
4) VI (Theo) vs 1) Ghoulies (Gonzo)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=10&team2=1
Prediction: 3-1 VI

3) DC (Basa) vs 2) Ghostown (Shawn)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=6&team2=4
Prediction: 3-1 Ghostown

Conference Final
4) VI (Theo) vs 2) Ghostown (Shawn)
https://basketball.sports.ws/league/playoff_compare.x?league=180087&team1=10&team2=4
Prediction: 3-1 Ghostown

Edit: And if this should happen, all the pot winnings would go to DVS as there is no clear cut runner up given the finals. LOL
