MCBL: Playoffs primer

The elimination round is over and we're carrying a 6-1 record to the playoffs. Anything less than a championship will probably be a disappointment. Why? Well, consider our numbers after the 7-game regular season:

• We're number one in most team categories - Scoring (83.7 ppg), Rebounds (45.7 rpg), Assists (15.1 apg), Total FG made (239) and attempted (512), 3FG made (40).


• We're number two in some team categories - FG% (47%), Steals (11.8 spg).


• We have the top candidate for division MVP (Herbert), while having three other players ranked in the top ten.


• We have the top candidate for best defensive player (Jon), while having two other players in the all-defensive team.

While Cebuana Lhuillier will remain the overall top seed because of their unblemished record (7-0), we believe we deserve to be up there. Hopefully, our paths will cross in the finals and we can settle this on the court.
