MANSFIELD, TX: The Road To #1, It's Playoffs Time!

Every team has been talking about the playoffs since Week 1, and now that they're finally here we'll get to see who's going to really back up the tough talk. This is for all the marbles, and I can guarantee you those watching will witness some epic competition. Let's take a look at our match ups.

Game 1: The Fundamentalists vs We Get Buckets
#1 seed The Fundamentalists finished the regular season 6-2, with a 2 point win over We Get Buckets and they face each other again, first, in the postseason. The veteran team is led by Sam Bailey who is putting up 33 points a game (3rd highest)and has helped his squad soar to the top this season, even with their struggles with player availability and accountability. Talented point guard Chauncey Lusk never goes out without a fight, averaging 34.3 points a game and has proven himself to be a leader of his team, no matter the hardships. This will be a good match up indeed.

Game 2: UHoopaz vs Lunch Ballers
During the regular season, UHoopaz ended up taking the 3 game split 2-1 against an energetic Lunch Ballers, with all 3 games being decided by 6 points or less. The return of guard Paul Smith has really strengthened the UHoopaz core, racking up an astounding 45 points in Week 7 and 28 points in Week 8, respectively. Lunch Ballers are highly effective on both ends of the court when they have all of their players, and crafty guard Adam Rowe has been very consistent with 25.6 a game and shooting a strong 40% from downtown. A must-see game!

In the playoffs, anything can happen. Who do you think we will see in the finals? Will UHoopaz 3-peat, or will we see a new team crowned king? Leave your comments below!
