Season Finale - Game Previews

After a long Thanksgiving Break, the Season Finale is here. Teams are trying to make the Playoffs and players are putting up unbelievable numbers. Kenneth Ubom is on pace to break the season scoring record while Robbie Banks is 7 blocks away from breaking the blocks record. Will both players make history on the last Regular Season game this decade?
USUCK vs. SICKWIDIT
DIAMOND DIVISION
SICKWIDIT has a chance to alter the Playoff brackets should they beat USUCK in the Season Finale. The season series is 1-1 and now, both General Managers are playing the brackets.
Who would you rather face? Top seed Warriors, a team that is 6-1 or B3 Sports Training, the defending Champions?
A win here should guarantee the winning team with the 2nd or 3rd seed. USUCK is led by the division's leading scorer, Kenneth Ubom, and he is averaging 21.3 ppg with 149 points. He leads the team with 20 assists, 2.9 apg and steals with a total of 13. Dedrick Bates is the second leading scorer with 17.0 ppg and he is averaging 2.7 apg, 4.0 rpg. Osh Dabbas and Amos Battle are both averaging 12.7 ppg and 15.7 ppg.
SICKWIDIT has two of the top 3 assists leaders in the category with James Griffin leading the way. Griffin is averaging 5.1 apg with 36 assists while Chris Reeves ranks 3rd with 26 assists, 4.3 apg. Reeves ranks 3rd in scoring with 145 points and the one on one match-up with the division's leading scorer (Kenneth Ubom) will be a must-see match-up. Pierre Baker is averaging 13.8 ppg while Gary Beaird is averaging 12.2 ppg.
Unfinished Business vs. Lady Air
WOMEN'S DIVISION
The former Champions, Unfinished Business, is 3-2 and they are faced with a double-header against Lady Air and Stamina. GM Jodian Lyn is optimistic that they'll win at least one of the match-ups and both opponents are Championship contenders.
Lady Air is the defending Champions and they are hoping to become the first team to repeat in the Women's Division. They are 5-1 and they are led by Amanda Livingston and she is averaging 18.3 ppg, 10.0 rpg. Monique Nolan is the second leading scorer with 10.2 ppg while Tamara Campbell is averaging 12.0 ppg. The team continues to get better every season and the Champions are averaging a franchise-best, 55.7 ppg. Defensively, they're grabbing a franchise-high 7.5 spg. It's hard to stop Lady Air and it's no coincidence that their only loss this season didn't have reigning Finals MVP Amanda Livingston.
Ferrari Funches ranks 1st in scoring with 87 points and look for Lady Air's defense to smother her. No other player averages double digits for Unfinished Business and the smart strategy is to make everyone else score. Amanda Aoun is averaging 7.8 ppg while Sandra Woloschuck is averaging 6.3 ppg. GM Jodian Lyn is always looking to pass and she is averaging 2.8 apg, 2.8 spg.
The last time both teams matched-up, Lady Air won, 44-33. Ferrari Funches led all scorers with 15 points while Amanda Livingston finished with 13 points.
Unfinished Business vs. Stamina
WOMEN'S DIVISION
Just a year ago, players from both teams met in the Finals when Lady Skull-basherz aka Unfinished Business faced Lady Semi Pro Inc and Stamina. Earlier this season, Unfinished Business avenged defeat with a 40-37 win but that was without several key players for Stamina. Will the core group that won the Championship with Lady Semi Pro Inc show up against Unfinished Business.
Stamina players Monica Tokoro, Charmaine Utz, and Monica Hang played a big role in that team a year ago and should the trio show up against Unfinished Business, it should serve as a reminder of how Unfinished Business came so close to winning their 3rd Championship. With the league making its return to the Riverside Gym, is it a coincidence that this match-up was scheduled?

30's Rock vs. Stamina
WOMEN'S DIVISION
30's Rock has yet to win a game this season. Last time they were on the court, they lost to Stamina, 63-62. Will they finally beat Stamina?
GM Elizabeth Skiles leads the Women's Division in blocked shots with 4 blocks and she is averaging 9.0 ppg. Crystal Abigo is one of the top 3-point shooters in the division with 13 three-pointers and she is averaging 14.0 ppg. Kim Nakamura is the team's leading scorer with 15.6 ppg while Virginia Vasquez has the most assists with 22 assists, 5.5 apg.
Stamina is 3-2 and three of the top five leaders in steals play for Stamina. Reigning MVP GM Brenda Chavez ranks 2nd in steals with 13 and she is averaging 2.6 spg, 7.8 ppg. Tiffany S. and Monica Tokoro both have 10 steals apiece and Tokoro (former Finals MVP, Fall 2008) is averaging 19.5 ppg, 4.8 apg. Will they continue their dominance over 30's Rock?
