Post-Season RD2: 2019

Whew, round one of our revamped post-season system is in the books! And maybe some of you didn't know that we keep right on playing for another two weeks -- all of us keep playing in consolation rounds -- but I hope you know by now!

Take a listen to EP02 of our podcast, which I just did with Trieu, covering our new post-season rules and also a brief take on the round one results. [ Playoff Teams | Toilet Bowl Teams]

PLAYOFFS
Round 2
• #1 Swamp Dragons (15-3-2) vs #6 Team Spade (12-7-1)
• #2 Sour Snails (14-5-1) vs #5 Squirtle Squad (12-6-2)

Playoff Consolation RD2
• #3 Chunky Monkeys (14-5-1) vs #8 Fob Stars (10-9-1)
• #4 Funk Coalition (13-7) vs #7 Fat Jubas (12-8)

Spade took down defending champs Monkeys with a thrilling last minute victory that basically came down to FG%, as James Harden might have shot Monkeys out of the game on Sunday night. After talking the smack in our first podcast episode, Randall is proving he's a dangerous team right as the lights shine brightest!

Squirtles also creamed Funk Coalition in their #5/4 matchup behind lovely work by Jalen Brunson and Lou Williams, all while shooting an incredible 51.4 FG%. Top seeded Swamp Dragons and Sour Snails faced stiff challenges of their own for most of the week but they ended up fending off their challengers with aplomb. Can't wait to see what week two of the playoffs hold!

Note: Those in Playoff Consolation RD2 are now playing for draft slots *12-15, as can be seen in the image from New Post-Season 2.0 rules.


TOILET BOWL
Round 2
• #9 So Buckets (10-9-1) vs #15 Another Bad Creation (4-16)
• #12 IL Conceived (7-13) vs #14 Snack Bears (5-15)

Toilet Bowl Consolation RD2
• #10 Team Thien (9-11) vs #16 Team Cameltoe (3-17)
• #11 LA Buffy (8-11-1) vs #13 Hilt the Stilt (6-14)

There was a quite a bit of upheaval here in the chase for the 2020 number one overall pick. Snack Bears used a late Sunday surge to put Buffy away in a bit of a shocker. Snack Bears actually put up a top-three offensive rating while pouring in 3PT/AST/STL to take out a Brandon Ingram-less Buffy.

And then there was ABC pulling off another upset, but doing it in style by stomping on Team Thien the whole week long -- all hail Elfrid Payton, our new triple double monster. We'll be honest, it wasn't pretty and now ABC has landed a top-four draft slot as well as kept hopes alive for a Toilet Bowl win.

Meanwhile So Buckets took care of business against a GP-less Cameltoe (20/21 GP), and IL Conceived did the same against Hilt the Stilt, who also didn't adjust their lineup all week. The deserving owners moved on in the continued chase for Zion!

Note: Those in Toilet Bowl Consolation RD2 are now playing for draft slots *5-8, as can be seen in the image from New Post-Season 2.0 rules.
