(3) SKILLSHARE vs (6) NYC GRITTY COMMITTEE

Comments	Team	Score	Team	Comments
Skillshare has almost all the pieces to make a deep playoff run: stand out guard play, size, and shooting. The only thing missing is a lot of exp playing together. They do have a full season under their belt now, but not in the playoffs. (G) Elliot Curtis and (G) Michael Hamane will lead the way from the backcourt. (F) Scott Sullivan and (C) Anthony Hull make this as tough a Top 4 as any in D-3.	SKL 4-3	65-62	NGC 2-5	The tricky part about NYC Gritty Committee is that they are actually a very good team in the playoffs. They just tend to underachieve in the regular season. They too have stand out guard play, size, and shooting. Sometimes. If (F) Steve Chung is hitting from three, they can look unstoppable. (G) Mark Lee will bring the business every game, they’re isn’t a more aggressive scorer in D-3.
KEY PLAYER: (G) ELLIOT CURTIS Curtis was 2nd in the league in scoring despite being a facilitator first for this team. That means that his shots are selective and efficient. There are lot of weapons on SKL but everything runs through Curtis.				KEY PLAYER: (G) MARK LEE The veteran Lee doesn’t have the same athleticism he used to, but it has made him a more patient scorer. He can do it from any spot on the floor: driving, in the post, and if he gets it going from 3, look out.

(4) NY DYNASTY vs (5) MAKE BDL GREAT AGAIN

Comments	Team	Score	Team	Comments
The NY Dynasty is a two-pronged attack led by (G) Ren Hsieh from the perimeter and (C) Steve Song in the paint. Hsieh led the league in scoring this season, but Song is no slouch as a playmaker from the pivot. They also have a number of role players who can pick it up offensively, too. But this is still a limited offense, they’re best when they’re focused on defense down the stretch of games.	DYN 4-3	55-48	BDL 3-4	Somehow Make BDL Great Again has found ways to win just enough all season to get here. They have an indefatigable spirit, even if they aren’t exactly tireless. The offense runs through (G) Tran Truong, if he’s hot from three, they will have chances because he will let it fly all game. The D is anchored by former Wat Misaka winner (C) Dan Tak. Nobody goes harder on the defensive end.
KEY PLAYER: (G) REN HSIEH Hsieh can create off the bounce and score inside and out, but at 38 yo, he can run out of gas at times. He’s best when his 3FGs are falling.				KEY PLAYER: (C) DAN TAK Tak was D-3’s top shot-blocker and 2nd leading rebounder. When he’s on, he can change the tenor of a game by shutting down the paint.
