(4) 30-FOR-30 vs (5) NY DYNASTY
D3 Playoffs (1st Round) – Tuesday, March 21, 7:30pm at Fashion HS
| Team Notes | Team | Score | Team | Team Notes |
| It has not been the prettiest season for 30-FOR-30 after an impressive run last season, but they managed to get back to the playoffs. Scoring has been 30Fs biggest weakness, but a solid, aggressive defense just might be enough to get them into the next round. Capt (F) Adam Wang will have to find his jumper though. |  30F 3-4 |
45-43 |
DYN 3-4 |
There is no team more reliant on its back court than NY DYNASTY. At their best, they can score with anyone, but when they’re off the mark it can get ugly. DYN hasn’t had the same defensive chemistry they had last season, but crafty veteran play might just be enough to get them out of the first round. |
| Key Player: Ezekial Kim
Kim is a beast on the offensive glass, and an able paint protector. He has not dominated offensively as much as he’d like, but he is 30F’s leading scorer and most efficient shooter. |
 Pos: C11.0 ppg 11.5 rpg 1.0 bpg |
 Pos: G 27.3 ppg 5.9 3pg 3.1 apg |
Key Player: David Chu
The D3 scoring champion will fill it up if you don’t mark him early and on every play. And DYN has no problem with going to him play after play. He is their catalyst on offense. |
(2) SKILLSHARE vs (6) GAME OF ZONES
D3 Playoffs (Semifinals) – Tuesday, March 21, 8:30pm at Fashion HS
| Team Notes | Team | Score | Team | Team Notes |
| SKILLSHARE is the D3’s biggest and deepest team, led by two Top 5 players in (G) Elliott Curtis and (F) Scott Sullivan. But it was GOZ who upset them in the regular season in a baffling loss. We don’t expect SKL to duplicate that effort, this is a revenge game now. |  SKL 4-3 |
56-51 |
GOZ 2-5 |
They just squeaked into the playoffs but here they are. GAME OF ZONES has reached the semifinals with an upset win over NYE. They got balanced scoring from their best four in the win. (G) Tommy Zheng is still a big weapon for them, but don’t underestimate their D. |
| Key Player: Elliott Curtis
If we could fit two guys here, we would. Sullivan is just as important as Curtis, but as the PG, Curtis is also one of D3’s headiest players. He always gives his team a chance to win with his decision-making. |
 Pos: G13.7 ppg 4.4 rpg 5.7 apg |
 Pos: G 18.5 ppg 4.0 rpg 1.5 spg |
Key Player: Tommy Zheng
A solid shooter, and able to attack the basket with great speed, Zheng is GOZ’s best offensive weapon. He’s also great at getting to the FT, and converting, which makes GOZ clutch at the end of games. |
(3) JUNKIES vs (6) GUARD ME MAYBE
D2 Playoffs (1st Round) – Thursday, March 21, 9:30pm at Fashion HS
| Team Notes | Team | Score | Team | Team Notes |
| Make no mistake, the JUNKIES are a contender, but they’re often at the mercy of who available. They aren’t very fast outside of the back court, but they have great size, and (F) Mark Promax has been a defensive stalwart. This team has all the pieces it needs to win it all. | JUN 5-2 |
65-59 |
GMM 2-5 |
GUARD ME MAYBE lit up JUN in the latter’s season opener with their best game of the season. And that’s where their paths diverged. Sharp-shooter (G) Tommy Wong just hasn’t had the touch this season, but if he and (G) Kento Kato ges hot, an upset is certainly possible. |
| Key Player: Allen Granowski
Granowski it the biggest player left in D2 now, but he spends more of his time shooting outside the paint. Which isn’t to say he’s allergic to it. He’s D3’s most dominant rebounder, and his work on the glass will be integral vs GMM’s shooters. |
Pos: F 13.8 ppg 12.3 rpg 3.2 apg |
 Pos: G 11.4 ppg 3.2 3pg 3.4 rpg |
Key Player: Tommy Wong
For whatever reason, Wong hasn’t had his best season. And with key players out of the GUARD ME MAYBE lineup, his team needed him to carry the load. But here they are in a single-elim playoff, where anything could happen. |
