Here is a snapshot of where we stand heading into the last week of the finals (courtesy of Anthak)

Jasmine v Mick, is guaranteed to finish 1st

HEAVER v anthak, if w, will finish 3rd; if L, could finish 3rd or 4th

Karlos v maggots, if w, should finish 2nd, but maybe 3rd or 4th; if L, could finish 2nd or 4th or 5th.

Ruddy v Dabombers, if W, could finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th; if L, could finish 2nd or 4th or 5th or 6th, or maybe even 7th, but highly unlikely.

Anthak v HEAVER, if w, should finish 4th or 5th or possibly 6th or 7th but unlikely; if L, could finish 5th, 6th or 7th.

Mick v Jasmine, if w, could finish 4th, 5th or 6th or maybe 7th but unlikely; if L, could finish 5th, 6th or 7th.

Fez v Steve, if w, could finish 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th; if L, could maybe finish 5th or 6th, but most likely 7th.



And down the other end...

Dabombers needs to outscore Steve by 735 points to avoid relegation!

And if that doesnt happen, and Steve wins and maggots loses, Steve will be guaranteed to stay up in PL.

Alternatively, if Maggots wins, he guarantees his place in the PL for next season.

Ruddy's Cavaliers 1623 (9-6) v King of Karlos (9-6) 1337



The Cavaliers came to fore this week by posting the highest score for the round and it now looks like Ruddy has booked his spot in the finals. The leading scorers for the Cavaliers were Durant (216/4), Monroe (200/4) and B Lopez (169/4). For Karlos, the best players were Curry (164/4), Al Jefferson (195/4), Clark (133/4). Karlos is pretty much assured of a finals spot as well.

Run TMC (6-8-1) 1457 v Adelaide Maggotz (5-9-1) 1220



RuN TMC are finally back in the winners list after a few quiet weeks. Run TMC played 5 more games than the Maggotz this round and were best served by George (216/4), Bledsoe (190/4) and Westbrook (149/3). For the Maggotz, the leading scorers were Harden (280/4), Faried (165/4) and Jennings (124/3).

Wade Machine (7-8) 1221 v Fudge's Sixers (2-13) 1155



Wade Machine were able to claim a hard fought win against Fudge. Wade Machine are still not safe from relegation due to being one of the lowest point scoring teams and will need to do well in the minor round finals to stay in the Premier League. The best players this week were Wade (252/2), KG (153/3) and Millsap (145/4). For Fudge, he has a huge battle to avoid relegation and this week was best served by Lawson (193/4), Pierce (174/3) and Green (154/3).

Anthak (8-7) 1584 v The Jug O Naughts (8-7) 1250



This match had a huge bearing on the make up of the finals and Anthak was able to score a convincing win over Fez. Anthak played 7 more games than Fez this round and the leading scorers were LBJ (252/4), Z Bo (165/4) and Rubio (143/4). Fez is struggling with injuries and form at the moment and this week the best players were Carmelo (221/4), Calderon (158/4) and Lee (126/4).

Team Heaver (10-5) 1455 v Westside Hardcore (8-7) 1429



This was the closest match of the round in the Premier League and Westside desperately needed the win to enhance their chances of a finals spot. However Heaver was able to spoil Mick's plans and get a narrow victory. The leading scorers for Heaver were Kobe (188/4), Lowry (132/4) and Matthews (132/4). The best players for Westside were Aldridge (212/4), Gallinari (160/4) and Mullens (134/4).

Linsanity 17 (5-11) 1604 v Jasmine's Mob (12-3) 1568
The unthinkable happened with Linsanity causing a huge upset with a hard fought win over Jasmine's Mob. This match went right down to the wire with Asik and Thomas having huge games in to Linsanity over the line. It was a huge effort by Jasmine considering I played 7 more games than her. The best players for Linsanity were Vucevic (163/4), Asik (150/4) and Thomas (142/3). The leading scorers for Jasmine were West (200/4), Vasquez (194/3) and Parker (199/3).

Division One


<p style='margin-bottom: 12pt;]Team Stowie (9-6) (stowie) 1476 def Crossy Crusaders (9-6) (crossy) 1182



Trading into injuries, again, hurt Crossy Crusaders as they couldn't keep up with Team Stowie. Pau Gasol was added to Kevin Love and Lou Williams as players aquired by Crossy Crusaders that have suffered season ending injuries. It left the scoring up to Marion (160 / 3), Nate Robinson (129 / 3) and Felton (124 / 4), while Team Stowie were led by BroLo (169 / 4) and George Hill (147 / 5).





Albert Park Rangers (3-12) (bgt) 1379 def The Bucks Fizz (4-11) 1361



The Albert Park Rangers are putting in a big effort to get out of the relegation zone and big weeks from TP (199 / 3) and ZBo (165 / 4) got them over the line in a close one against fellow relegation candidate The Bucks Fizz. They were led by Melo (221 / 4) and Bledsoe (190 / 4), whose reign of terror ended once CP3 returned.





Didn't Draft Durant (doh) (12-3) (Jet) 1411 def Nahla Vs LittleDee (4-11) (rodgo) 1344



DDD(d) managed to outlast Nahla Vs LittleDee in this one as Lebron (252 / 4) continues one of the most amazing seasons in recent NBA history. He had help from KG (158 / 3) and Millsap (145 / 4) as eight players in total hit triple figures. Nahla Vs LittleDee used all five aquisitions but couldn't find enough support for KB24 (188 / 4) and Hibbert (160 / 5).





Canuck Steelers (7-8) (UnderAchievers,nickluya) 1075 def by The Sausage Arm Butchers (11-4) 1543



The Canuck Steelers had four days under triple figures as they struggled against the might of The Sausage Arm Butchers who had two players crack the double tonne, Paul George (216 / 4) and LMA (212 / 4). Canuck Steelers scoring leaders were new Raptor Rudy Gay (169 / 3) and his former teammate Marc Gasol (139 / 4).





CK Nicks (7-8) (costak) 1666 def by Broady Broncos (8-7) (nicksow) 1912



This is where amazing happens... Broady Broncos were down and out two days into this matchup as owner nicksnow left for a holiday. He will come back surprised to see the result of this one as Harden (280 / 4), DWade (252 / 4) and Monroe (200 / 4) all put up huge numbers in the second half of the week to steal the win. CK Nicks finished with the second highest score of the round, led by DWest (200 / 5), Al Jefferson (195 / 4) and Calderon (158 / 4).





Mildura Dunkanauts (9-6) (walesy) 1077 def by Travys Boys (7-8) 1503



The Dunkanauts slumped to a third straight loss as their late season slump continues. KD (216 / 4) again led the way with support from Lawson (193 / 4) as some of their season long stalwarts begin to slow down. Westbrook (206 / 4), Curry (164 / 4) and Ibaka (156 / 4) led nine players in triple figures for Travys Boys as they keep their playoff hopes alive.
<p style='margin-bottom: 12pt;]Division Two
The 6 teams to make finals is now settled. Laino's Nuggets is still the raging flag favourite despite losing their first game a couple of weeks ago - currently sitting at 14-1 it will take a lot to stop Laino now. Cyril33s Crushers is in 2nd place on 11 wins, with Six Ten Two Forty and Mookie Blaylock Athletic Club tied in 3rd place on 10 wins. The Raptors sits in 5th on 9 wins, and Pegs Men Lethal round out the top 6 on 8 wins. So at this stage Laino will be tough to beat, but in this game it only takes a couple of poorly timed injuries and the finals race can be blown wide open!
