Season 57...Regular Season Wrap-up

-- Home teams were dominant in the second half of the schedule, going 17-8.

-- The top four differential teams, unsurprisingly, were the four teams that made the playoffs.

-- Dave's playoff predictions were a perfect 4 for 4, although the West teams were in reverse order.

-- Dallas, although still the class of the regular season, was not nearly as dominant as in the past five seasons where their points differential was a plus 10 or more every season but one. The Dallas defense, this season, was the worst in the East. Still, an 8-2 record is superb and they are still the playoff favorites with a chance for a record 6 straight titles.

-- Oklahoma City surprises everyone with the best overall defense in the league.

Season 57's All-MBA Team

For the first time in MBA history (since Season 1 when everyone was making it for the first time) all five First Team All-MBA players are first-time foil star getters.

Plus, all five are from Tyler teams, which I do believe is also a first.

Plus, retiring Dallas center Biggus Dickus, who makes All-MBA on his sixth and final try also nails down the regular season MVP honor and gains entry to the Hall of Fame. He gets to play in the post season with the Hall of Fame designation along with longtime teammates Juzan Djinn and Pete "the Steakman" Marzano. Three Hall of Famers in the same lineup seems kind of unbeatable. We will see.

Seattle lands two starters on the First Team All-MBA...Crocidale and Juggleboy.
