SOW:   PowerWave

Where's My Mojo?  
Mucho Mojo:       PowerWave has won three of the last four SOW's and finished 10-1-2 over his last 13.      BigV put on a season ending 5-1 surge
                                to clinch the final playoff slot  (and also nipped RSR for the scoring title).
                                 
Missing Mojo:       The Jam Slammers claimed 10 of  20 DOW awards.  The SuperSports went 0-10-2 over their last 12 games.
Player(s) of the Week*:            G  Tracy McGrady -  Critical Mass
 *As determined by the NBA          F  Tim Duncan  -  PowerWave


Playoff                 BigV (9-10-1, #6) at Always IN The Zone (11-9-0,  #3)
Preview           Skinny:  AINTZ put together a nice season to finish with the #3 seed.  BigV languished in the bottom half of the standings but made a late 
                                 season sprint to qualify for the champions bracket.  These teams met twice (split) during the season.   Week 6:  AINTZ 8, BigV 5.   
                                 Week 15:  BigV 7, AINTZ 6.   Expect a close game with BigV's relying on his high-octane offense while the AINTZ rely on strong %'s and 
                                 solid rebounding/assist/steal/block totals.

                                AINTZ:    vs.  Playoff Teams    3-8-0   .273                       Big V:       vs.  Playoff Teams    5-7-0     .417
                                                  vs. Non-Playoff        8-1-0   .889                                          vs.  Non-Playoff        4-3-1    .563
                    


Playoff                 Phat Pharm (12-7-1, #5) at Critical Mass (11-8-1,  #4)
Preview           Skinny:  Two evenly matched teams with solid seasons look to catch fire in the championship round.   These teams met three times 
                                during the regular season posting a dead even 1-1-1 record against each other.   Week 2:  Phat Pharm 6,  CM 6.   Week 11:  Phat Pharm 7, CM 6.    
                                Week 20:   CM 9, Phat Pharm 4.   These games were all incredibly close, including CM's 9-4 W in Week 20..... expect more of the same this week.

                                Critical Mass:    vs.  Playoff Teams    5-6-1    .459                       Phat Pharm:       vs.  Playoff Teams    3-7-1     .319
                                                               vs. Non-Playoff        6-2-0    .750                                                     vs.  Non-Playoff       9-0-0    1.000
