Professional Basketball Association (Eboria) | 2018-19 Play-offs
The Hallas Heat surprised everyone last summer by getting over their playoff hoodoo to take home the championship over the Lasers last summer. This ear, the team have struggled, especially down the stretch. It seems like someone else will be destined to take home the prize this season, so who will it be?
The Contenders in the EAST:
Adelphia Aces- The ACES are three point aficionados, making them the most trigger-happy from outside. If they get hot from the outside, they could go all the way.
Carlton Dynamo– The Dynamo are outsiders for this, they will struggle to make the top four in the east… but if they do, their defence is stingy!
Landor Lasers– Mo Williams & co will aim to get back to the Cornell Cup finals again this season. They have the talent, but will they seemingly bottle it once again?
Mayona Magic– With ten games remaining they will probably need to win all ten to sneak in. A tall order for the 2016-17 champions. Unlikely to feature.
Melboro Towers- The Towers are second in the East and looking from some home advantage. They should, as they are so much better in front of their fierce home fanbase.
New Chester Kings- The Kings need to break the curse- no conference finals since Jackson King retired. That’s eight years! Time for the no-names to step up and out of the King of Kings’ shadow.
Pottsburgh Power– The power are always tough to play against. Do they have the experience to pull off shocks?
The Contenders in the WEST:
Chakota Tigers– The Tigers are perhaps the best all-round team in the PBA. Do they go all the way? Their namesakes won the PFL Crystal Bowl in 2-18-19, so it would also set a record for teams with the same nicknames winning the PBA and PFL titles. One for the record books perhaps.
Eregon Express– The Express lead the West at the moment. They may need home-court advantage come the conference finals. High-octane offence, sometimes lackadaisical in defence,
Seafax Saints – The Saints have pushed the Heat into fourth place, with a flurry of victories.
