Crane T.O vs Classick @7PM

The Edge

Where in the world is Kareem “Villain” Jackson? If the Villain is not playing, the edge would belong to Classick as they are finally clicking at the most crucial point of the season.   

 

Key Matchup

Shane Bennett (Crane T.O) vs Mehdi Khanahmadi (Classick)

The two most athletic forwards in the division square off and it should be an entertaining and intriguing matchup on game day, who will produce and pull through with all on the line? 

MB X-Factor

Dwayne Morrison (Crane T.O) and Agustine Ersando (Classick) 

Both players work their tails off on every possession and play on the defensive end of the floor, if either player can have a big game in semi’s, it will be huge for their squad, which player will step it up?

Which MB X-Factor will come thru for their team? Stay tuned…

 


Grind Time vs Savages @ 8PM 

The Edge

This will be anyone’s game on game day, as it all depends who steps up and who wants it more. If I had to choose, I do feel Grind Time can pull away as long as Thomas, Drummond, and Isidro can produce on offense but ultimately, it all depends whether they have the ability to stop Coote, St. Paul and Penola from having big games. 

Key Matchup

 

Jamie Coote (Savages) vs Dre Xavier (Grind Time)

Xavier will have the main task of protecting the paint and limiting Coote’s production, will the Grind Time big be able to lock down the Savages main threat from the interior? 

MB X-Factor

Ahsan Mahmood (Savages) and Garey Drummond (Grind Time) 

Both players provided a huge boost last week as Mahmood stepped up late in the clutch for the Savages while Drummond brought in toughness and versatility on defense. With the season on the line, which player will leave it all on the floor on game day? 

Which MB X-Factor will come thru for their team? Stay tuned…
