better ice the ft's, he's going to get some good looks on the last minute 3's

When McAllister came in red hot, I was like "Holy shit, I'm watching another 4th quarter meltdown." When you bought that Center I had no idea what to do. So I just basically freaked out like crazy, and tried to figure out enthusiasm scenarios for the playoffs.

I wouldn't really say it was out-coaching, because that implies a level of calm and calculated planning.

Just noticed that McAllister had the largest +/- difference (either way) in the game. Seems odd for someone who was so efficient in scoring.

Possible Great 8 Seeding, there should be some great games to end the season.

Burlington Mountain Goats - 1st through 4th
Funky Town Fire - 1st through 4th
Liberty and Power - 1st through 5th
Bruins - 2nd through 5th
Visionaries - 3rd through 6th
Lake Merritt Arrows - 5th or 6th
Milwaukee Lethargy - 7th
Walker Wiggles - 8th

This is sort of bastardized since I left in a few theoreticals, but took out a few possibilities. While those are technically still possible, they're just not realistic. I don't think it's possible for Visionaries to catch up to BMG's point differential. And Funky Town goes out of reach from Visionaries after his game with Walker Wiggles.

Tough stretch for Burlington, LMA, L&P, and Visionaries where they all play each other and every game matters. 3 of those 4 teams have won at least 1 title. This leaves the door open for Funky Town to take advantage of, steal 1st seed, and have a good shot at his first NBBA Finals appearance.

Possible Big 8 seeding
It's just a mess, that I don't want to try and project. Well that's a lie, I already did, but with 3 teams still in the Cup it was a headache with several different completely acceptable paths for everyone.

When I started doing some projections for my conference, 7th seed was also a wild card. He plays two guys who are still in the cup. Which means he could get gifted 2 wins. And despite being the 7th seed, he somehow has positive PD. Then again I always overthink things. Sooo...

Myopic would need to win his last 3 games to have a chance to move from the 7 seed. Ambitious, Quakers and myself all have games left against reston.

Myopic has a better than exected chance of winning the last two games against Silverbacks and Bullish, with potential cup and playoff considerations. Though they'd need to pull off a road win against Ambitious tonight which isnt happening with current personnel.

I expect the 2 thru 6 seeds to be all 10-10 after tonight. Final seed projections:

Pennsylvania Quakers	12	10
Silverbacks 	11	11
Ambitious and Misun...	11	11
AirBallers	11	11
King Drive Ballers 	11	11

That is assuming Silverbacks throws the last game against Myopic for cup. I do expect silverbacks to win on thursday.
