Atlas Basketball League 2007 Season

[Hatman 🍁]

I mean: how are the home games chosen?

Is it 2 for the higher seed, 3 for the lower seed, then 2 for the higher seed (2-3-2)?

Check the schedule, King. It's 2-2-1-1-1. 2-3-2 gives the team with the lower record home court advantage in a 5 game series.

[King]

Earl, I noticed there's a lineup feature on the matchup thing.  Since I'm probably not going to beat Camden without trying to make a change, I'd like to adjust my lineup:

At point guard, replace Derek Fisher with Derek Harper.  Keep Bryant and O'Neal at shooting guard and center, but put Eddie Jones at small forward (out of position, but I think it'll work) and Dennis Rodman at power forward.

PG: Harper
SG: Bryant
SF: Jones
PF: Rodman
C: O'Neal

That looks like the best possible starting five with this team.

Will do. If anyone else wants to change their starters, I'll do it.

Back the other way.

Bird is followed by Ostertag, and will go to the line with three seconds left. He sinks the first one. The second one is good. 118-110. It's all over now

Hornacek now dribbles the other way, at the buzzer, it's good for three, but it's too little, too late, the Camden Stucture Fires are the first ever ABL Champions! Camden has swept San Diego four games to none! The crowd here in San Diego aren't very happy, but have decided to politely clap the World Champions. Final score 118-113.
