Tbh raiders Own the head to head with sharks!! Therefore if the sharks lose to Newcastle I think that would mean the raiders would be in!

So if results go a certain way we could have three teams on 32 points, Raiders Sharks and Phoenix. So in comes the H2H. Nix are 2-1 up against Raiders and 1-2 against Sharks but Raiders are 2-1 up against Sharks.
Therefore Nix finish above Raiders but below Sharks but Raiders finish above Sharks. Hmmmmm? Explanation somebody please? On the other hand the whole situation could and almost certainly will change. Interesting 7 days ahead........only 7 days aaaaagh!!.,

Haven't got a clue what the BBL rulebook says if 3 teams tie each with one H2H, but I'd suggest overall point difference should count, similar to Premiership goal difference. This will be required a lot more next season as tied teams are likely to be tied H2H as well with only 2 matches played, so I hope BBL have got it sorted !

So does that mean the "sporting end " to games whereby a team will run the clock down for the last20/30 seconds. Just imagine an end like that in November and then the end of season places has a 1 point difference? I don't think any coach will be happy in his team bouncing the ball over the half way line then not going for a final basket even when they are 20 points ahead. The change to 22 games means no head to head situations.....no doubt people have thought all this out before the changes.

Well I for one wouldn’t miss “sporting ends”, but I would miss valuable bench minutes for both teams at the end of an easy victory.
Anyone know the BBL ruling for tied teams ?

Basically every second counts and every point counts for the head to head
Not sure if that's good or bad
I'm thinking it's bad tbh

HERE I GO
Lions vs Plymouth
Lions by less than 10 (Injured players available), Paul James and Vince will have even results with refs here
Leicester vs Cheshire
Cheshire by less than 10 (This could be fun if Rob has a meltdown and refs give him calls, watch this space...…….)
Glasgow vs Royals
Royals by more than 10 (Scottish refs will screw Glasgow over, hahahahahaha IN SCOTLAND, if all illegal picks were called then Ashley Hamilton and Bryan will foul out but this won`t happen)
Sharks vs Fab
If Fab sits and Defoe and Moses play then Eagles by more than 20
If Fab plays and either Defoe or Moses sits then Sharks by less than 10
If Fab plays and Defoe and Moses sit then Sharks by more than 20
Oh baby, I bet im right

In the playoffs anything can happen, I mean look at the NHL, top 2 seeds getting knocked out in the 1st round. The No.1 seed got swept 4-0.

We may think this is most open playoffs ever - but this is fourth time in last five years that two lower seeded teams have made the semi finals:
Let's see what happens next

It's actually the fourth time in five years, fifth in eight seasons has happened. Had only happened twice before that in league system, 97/98 was the one season where three lower seeds reached SF

Had only happened twice before that in league system, 97/98 was the one season where three lower seeds reached SF As with stats depends how you look at it. The 4 v 5 match-up typically pits two relatively evenly matched teams. So on two of those occasions in the last five years the 5th seed has won with an identical regular season record to the 4th seed. What can (it's all choice) be more interesting is the looking at the top 3 seeds who generally have a bigger step on the 6/7/8 (this year it's not much). What then stands out is that only the 2nd seed this year and the 1st seed in 14/15 survived from the top 3 seeds. I think it may be only the 4th time in history that two of the top three seeds failed to reach the semi finals. 85/86, 97/98, 14/15 and 18/19. On all occasions the remaining "top" seed finished champions, so shouldn't be an issue for Leicester. And I think on all occasions the top seed failed to reach the semi finals, the 2nd seed were champions, so more history supporting Leicester. Daniel didn't mention that 85/86 was the first time (of two ... including the 97/98 he mentions) that three lower seeds reached the semi finals. |

Perhaps because I didn't ask that question but I guess he could have gone into even more detail
