Winner goes to Shanghai Sharks(dynasty team). Loser is headed to Qingdao Eagles(1 playoff appearance in 10 years).
Most of the 7 eliminated teams are pretty bad. That’s why they were eliminated so quickly.
Did you already receive your invitation to the Playa Haters Ball this year?
Like most perpetually bad teams in every sport, the answer is garbage management and ownership. Much like the Browns or the Pirates, they are fundamentally not a serious team because of how poorly they are run.
My personal guess is Phoenix, LAC, GSW, Philadelphia, Miami, and Boston will be the pool winners with Denver and Milwaukee as the wild cards. Final is GSW vs. Miami. Miami wins off a very clutch Jimmy Butler performance.
Congratulations on getting to witness history.
