Keystoner
1) Trinidad vs 4) Cupey *2) Valley Forge vs 3) Oscar Robertson
* if Cupey loses to VF & Northampton beats FrenchLick this week - then 4) is Northampton (due to first tie-breaker of conf record)
Empire
1) New York vs 4) Brooklyn *2) Baltimore vs 3) Provo *
* Brooklyn (vs New York) & Provo (vs Oaksterdam) are one currently one game ahead of San Juan (vs Baltimore) - but hold the first tie-breaker of conf record, thus eliminating San Juan 3) & 4) can still switch if Brooklyn wins & Provo loses this week.
Trinidad is looking unbeatable, getting 1.000 plus avgs from all five starters last week (and winning by over 60 pts!)
We'll see. If we stay healthy, I like our chances. I'm happy that braying ass Arenas got himself suspended by brandishing firearms the day(!) after I traded him. Had he been playing, I doubt I would have traded for Billups, who's tearning it up. Looks like Paul will be back in time to help the Brocheese retain their conference-favorite status, but watch out for Provo. Don't know who to root for in the VF-OR matchup. I'm going to say Maggette getting hurt is a blessing in disguise for the Monkeys. Early line: VF -2.
