BBL Games Sunday 7th April

Think all the excitement about tonight's game is if you're second then it's Lions in the final ( hopefully), third you get a semi final with them. Its so so so close at the top.

Not too sure about Lions being nailed on winners, I think there are at least 3 who could stop them, although quit rightly they will be favoured

Not quite, second and third should meet in the semi final and I think London will play the lowest seed left at that stage which in theory would be fourth.

Phoenix and Glads have secured those positions pretty much. So just playing for who they get in the first round (Bristol or Leicester atm) and home advantage in the semi, if they meet each other.

Though I could be wrong.

If it is like the above and we get a series of game like last night. We are in for a treat and the highlight of the season for the BBL.

And that should finally bring an end to the phrase " And Sloan in the corner for three" just delete Sloan and insert EJ Stephens !!

lol - difference is until someone confirms what the 2nd tie breaker is after pts diff in the H2H if the two sides finish season with same number of wins, the Sloan three won a trophy but at moment we dont know if the Stephens three did win a H2H or not:

Cal Che
83 92
92 82
93 100
116 110
--- ---
384 384

Anybody recall anything official on how H2H will be worked out if after the regular season 2 sides are tied on wins and the H2H is 2wins a piece with the total pts in the 4 games also tied!!

all speculation at the moment as still a couple of banana skin fixtures out there for both sides but would be good to understand how sides in this scenario would be split.



edit to add: was a cracking shot though and certainly a deflating one given the high 5min earlier from the shot that put the game into OT

[reallyoldfeenixfan2]

So on the game report on the BBL whoever wrote it confirmed the 2-2, but then says Phoenix were ahead on points difference of 80. That makes no sense unless he/she/ know something we don't. Still we are still 2nd with a game in hand (but 3 away games then Lions at home for the final action of 2023/4)

Makes perfect sense to me. Nix currently hold the tiebreaker by virtue of having an overall league points differential 80 points better than Gladiators.
