LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME 2015 PREVIEW

DUSTIN (BULLOCK BULLS) VS MATT (HASH)



BULLOCK BULLS - Dustin

#3 Seed
10-4 Regular Season, 5-1 within Division
North Division Title
1564.65 Regular Season points
111.76 Regular Season game average, 133 & 132 regular season highs
11 Regular Season games of 100+
7 Game winning streak to start the year, currently on 4 game winning streak.

Dustin is now 9-5 in Championship Bracket Games total. 14 total is 4th most all time.
Dustin is now 8-5 in Championship Bracket Games That Matter. 13 total is tied for 2nd most all time.
Dustin's winning % in Games That Matter is currently 5th best all time at .615.

This will be Dustin's record tying 5th Championship Game appearance.
Dustin is the only team to make it to 3 Championship Games in a row.
AD, Kyle, DD, Jimmy, and Doc have been to back to back Championship games.
No team has won back to back Championships in league history.

Struggled down the stretch going 3-4 last 7 and 2-3 last 5, but finished strong winning his last two.
The story here is the Playoff scoring outburst. 162.60 week 15.  169.95 week 16.
That's beyond strong or dominant. It's something more.
The question is, is there more or will he hit a wall week 17?


HASH - Matt

#4 Seed
8-6 Regular Season, 4-2 within Division
South Division Title
1522.58 Regular Season points
108.76 Regular Season game average, 133, 138, & 158 regular season highs
7 Regular Season games of 100+
Currently on 6 game winning streak

Matt is now 5-2 in Championship Bracket games
Matt is now 5-1 in Championship Bracket Games That Matter.
That winning % (.833) is #1 best all time
This will be Matt's 2nd Championship Game. He is 1-0
2012 League Champion. 
Also the #4 Seed that year.

Weeks 1-10 Matt was really just average, or really below average, 4-6.
But beginning with a week 11 win, a gift really, Matt finished the season winning his last 4.
His last three, he averaged 140.48 points per game.
During the Playoffs he scored 130.69 and then an underwhelming but winning 107.35.



*****2012 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RE-MATCH*****


Dustin and Matt have faced off in the Playoffs twice before so this is the rubber game.

In 2011, Matt was the #2 Seed and Dustin was the #3 Seed.
Matt had a 1st round bye. Dustin defeated Randy in the 1st round that year.
Dustin prevailed that week 105-92, but lost the following week to Rojo in the Championship Game.

In 2012, Matt as the #4 Seed defeated Pitch and Jimmy on his way to the Championship Game
Dustin was the #2 Seed and beat Rojo in a revenge game to advance to the Championship Game.

In one of our league's all time best thrilling Championship Games Matt won 139-137.



*****2015 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME*****

This match-up will be only the 2nd time in league history that a #3 Seed will face a #4 Seed.
The only other time was the now infamous "Bang Bowl" from 2008. Bang beat his brother Kyle.

Dustin comes into this game as hot as we've probably ever seen.  I'm sure he has set some records.
Matt has experienced a bit of a lull after being hot for about 5 weeks.  Can he get it back?

Dustin leads the overall series 6-4, but they haven't played each other since week 10, 2013

Dustin currently favored +8
