Playoffs

the playoffs and our team had a tough matchup against Antioch, they are just as good if not better than us. And the game had just started; myself, “the captain”, Josh, Murry, Blake, Andrew, “the starters” “we were going to win this game” is what we all said throughout the whole day before the game.

Can The Toronto Blue Jays Make It To The Playoffs Again? Last year a whole nation came together to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays as they made their bid to win the World Series.

We are good. It seems like this statement can finally receive more than scoff or roll of the eyes. With a division title under their belts, Chicago Cubs’ fans can now say it with confidence. Cubs won the NL Central title when the Giants topped the Cardinals 6 to 2 on September 15th. Even after their loss against the Milwaukee Brewers, Cubs didn’t mind popping the champagne at Wrigley Field. The following day, the Cubs turned it around by beating the Brewers 5 to 4.

had just about the same record. The Colts have made the playoffs 2 of the last 3 years and the Chiefs have made it 2 of the last 3 years. The Chiefs have had a better record, a better quarterback, and a better defense when the Chiefs are compared to the Colts in the last two year. The Chiefs record is 13 and 6 since the beginning of last year. The Chiefs had a good enough record last season to be able to make it to the playoffs. In the playoffs, the Chiefs played the Houston Texans and won by…

Regarding arranging seasons and playoffs, a large distinction can be seen. The NBA season starts in October and runs all the way to June, making a long 82 game regular season and then the playoffs, players often playing around three games per week.

The playoff system can also be contrasted. The NBA created a system of playoffs where teams…

It's Sunday on a cold evening in mid-March. While others are freezing their buns outside, you're sweating out a possible heads-up victory in your fantasy league that will ensure a playoff spot. All of your opponent's players are done and you've got Kevin Durant facing a leaky Kings defense that's already scouting their latest lottery pick. Your fantasy team is already up 5-4, but can claim two more categories if KD can pour in 35 points and 2+ three-pointers. Here's the dilemma. You live in…

Others, like the Oilers, shows that even after acquiring lots of young talent, you can still be one of the worst teams in the league.

themselves for deep playoff runs. As teams jockey for seeding, there have been a slew of injuries to stars and key role players, which could have an impact on this year’s playoff race. Let’s take a look at some of the teams that have been bitten hardest by the injury bug. Golden State Warriors Golden State has had players on and off the injury report all season, but none have been out of action as frequently as Stephen Curry.
