Preview RD2: 2012

What a first weekend of the playoffs, as we had a huge upset over in the Russell Conference. Somehow new coach Eddie took his team up against Thien's mighty The Horizon -- the top seed -- and won by Sunday fueled comeback. Strangely, both teams played only 25/26 games so extra games wasn't a factor. What did help was the outstanding shooting by the NJ All-Stars, who had a scorching 50.62 FG% and won FT% too. The Horizon tried to ride Dwayne Wade, Paul Pierce, Andrew Bynum, and John Wall to victory but they were ultimately unseated by Lebron James and his merry band of pranksters -- Paul George, Isaiah Thomas, Ryan Anderson, and Jose Calderon.

Everything else on the playoff front played out according to plan, as the other favored teams rolled to easy victories.

Over in the Toilet Bowl, defending champ Human Amoebas was eliminated by a lower seed, Funk Coalition, in a minor upset, but Eric-A was without the services of Derrick Rose so maybe it was no upset at all. Top seed MoRRie's Pogiboy sweated out a surprising week from Josh's So Buckets, who could have won if they game managed just a little better. Needing just a handful of 3PT, AST, or STL to win, So Buckets hit the games played limit on Saturday with some useful players ready to steal the win. Too bad, better luck next year!
