Season 41 Regular Season Wrap Up

As you can see, only three of the MBA's 10 teams finished with positive point differentials. Those three, plus Dallas, will be in the post-season.
Milwaukee and Seattle are out from last year's playoff teams, replaced by San Jose and Dallas.
As was the case last season, the two division winners, defending champion Oklahoma City and Charleston, are heavy favorites to meet in the finals. Charleston was derailed by Seattle in the semi-finals last season, but it is expected that this year, the power-packed finals will see the Lariats vs. the Mountaineers.
The Semi-finals match Oklahoma City with Dallas and Charleston against San Jose.
Charleston beat San Jose in a regular season cross-over game 97-78.
Oklahoma City bested Dallas in a regular season cross-over game 78-62.
Should they meet in the finals, keep in mind that Dallas and Charleston split their two games, while Oklahoma City pretty much destroyed San Jose in both meetings.
Charleston and Oklahoma City did not meet during the regular season. In fact, the last time they met was five seasons ago in Season 37 during a cross-over game won by Charleston by 3 points in another season they both won division titles.
The last time Charleston met Oklahoma City in the playoffs was Season 27 when defending champion Charleston bested Oklahoma City 2 games to 1 in the semis. (Gule Mon-Mon of Dallas played for the Lariats in that series and was injured the final two games.)
Any predictions from the MBA public?
My predictions: sweeps in the first round by Charleston and Oklahoma City, then Charleston besting Oklahoma City in the finals 3 games to 1.










Next Up: Let the playoffs begin. First game will pit Dallas at Oklahoma City.
