NCBL : 1st Division's Mid-Season Pundits and Predictions

What's up Peeps? It's been months since my last post in May,& i'm truly sorry for the none-posting activities lately due to my busy-ness life and yada-yada. So,let's cut to the chase alright?

First of all,i'm definitely not gonna touch on the 2nd Divisionas like RPK stated,there's too many of them and if they want to be noticed,they themselves should be helping RPK out for the record,we don't get exact salary to do this stuff,we did it cause we love it. Secondly,this is regarding the post that RPK had put on his website few weeks back I think,regarding on who's in and who's out.And the answers were shown but not yet fully voted I guess.


And the results were as follows.


Some say that due to the victory that Snipers' had last season which they won eventually the 2nd Division Title was a fluke as they ran through three veteran teams WeMotor.com,Phantoms (B) and Swoosh 2 from the quarter final until the finals itself. So to say,this year was the real deal for them.

72 votes, and mostly voted out for the Shoot-To-Win boys as the candidates to be relegated next season. Mostly knew that Flames will be one of them, but nonetheless, there are still Pegasus and Cocoro as well,but still,mostly favoured Snipers as the second team to go. Well,i'll try and be as professional as I could alright?

See,i've got little help from 3 friends who were watching the league as well,and I tried to make them as my personal pundit predictors,and this is what they had in mind names are case sensitive:

Isaac (not the real name) says - Snipers fought back and forth to win the 2nd Division Title last season and that proves that they have what it takes to be with the big boys. Earning a title means you are up for the task already. So far, they had 2 wins,an equal number to Cocoro and Pegasus but differentiated by point differences. They still have the chance to remain as Division 1 contenders. As for Cocoro, they've got complete players from guards, to their forwards and centers. The only thing they don't have is the correct essential to win games. They could remain in the league next season if they can continue winning their remaining games. Pegasus,well,I like the team honestly,but they really need attitude adjustments. I've been watching their games and sometimes,there were only 6-7 players only. Sad to say,I think that they are going down.

Syakirah (not the real name) says - Cocoro has been a solid team. They've got big and tough guys to secure their ball possession. I like the player they called Aza as i've seen him as a huge key role for their plays in the paint. Cocoro would remain. Snipers,well,hard to say.They did somehow had the nearly win against the gigantic Cons and mighty Swoosh 1. But the game against Swoosh 2 where they got beaten up pretty badly doubts my instinct of them to stay for another season. But with 3 games remaining against J3, Phantoms (A) and Cocoro,I still think they have the chance to prove themselves worthy.Snipers remain for another season. As for Pegasus,there were alot of issues saying that they have good and great players like Beley,Jijun and Arip Katik. But a team sport needs all players to contribute to win. The game against Phantoms (A) which they won by three points if not mistaken really scares me and showed to me that they have loss their credential as one of the Big Four.Pegasus will play in Second Division next season.

D-Ma (not the real name) says - Pegasus is surely having trouble with their line-ups lately. With only half of the team showed up for most of the game,it's really hard to tell whether they have the rightful place to stay in the 1st Division next season. They can play,and they can win for sure. But this is a team sport,this is not boxing or UFC fights where you can go on your own to win. When I heard they were disqualified last season where their players didn't show up for the match against J3,it sparks me that they've loss most of the respect that I had. Pegasus is out. Snipers won 2 games,only 2. That does not prove anything to me that they have what it takes to stay. A win against a 7-player-team Pegasus is nothing. A slight win against Flames is pure luck. But surely I have no doubt that they can put on a fight against J3 as the two teams are equal in sizes,shots and plays. Against Phantoms and Cocoro too as they've beat them during the preseason games. But like I said,preseason and regular season are two different things. Whatever it is,Snipers have a slight chance to stay. Classic Cocoro,old players,old tactics,same aggressive plays. Short and simple statement to ensure that they can remain in the league's 1st Division.

Well,that was from my three personal pundits and friends. As for me,professionally,I can't say much as i've too watched others. This season's 1st Division games are more exciting then last season as of now,there are 6 teams to compete for the semifinal's spots instead of the regular 4. Flames is surely relegated with 6 losses in their hand. And 3 teams are competing to stay alive with surely Snipers and Pegasus are the ones in grave danger whereas Cocoro still has the space to breathe.

I mean to say that Snipers' last three games are a must win games. One loss means that they have to hope for Pegasus and Cocoro to lose as well and the game is still on. Same thing goes for Cocoro and Pegasus,either win or lose by either team means a huge chance for Snipers to remain and put themselves in jeopardy. But if Pegasus loosing 2 games in a row, then the game is surely over provided by point differences at the end of the regular season.

As for Cocoro and Snipers,their game is at the very end of the regular season's schedule. Which in my eyes,are the decisive game on who would go,and who would stay. Final thoughts,all of it will be an exciting games.
