Well now, here`s an interesting scenario- if the Bulls clean up with a 5-pointer, as they should by all accounts do, this`ll leave 3 teams tied on 42 points, making points difference the deciding factor.
Now, here`s the interesting point- should the Sharks win, as expected, they`ll go top of the log. If the Bulls get the 5-pointer, it`ll be somewhere between 2nd and 4th for them, depending on the winning margin. The Bulls will need a +72 points diff. to move into 2nd place on the log. Now, over the last 3 seasons, the Bulls have thrived on this type of scenario- a massive points difference victory required in order to ensure 3rd or 4th position on the log, and they`ve delivered.
So can the Bulls pull a 72-pointer in the last round, to secure a home semi? Or would it be a 45-pointer for 3rd? Or anything less for a 4th? So yeah, this game has suddenly become very interesting. Very interesting indeed.
