[LCP SHAQ @LCP_SHAQ]

@LCP_CHUCK @LCPNetwork_ No need to be calling out names Steelos

[LCP SHAQ @LCP_SHAQ]

@LCPNetwork_
Now that the season is over, lets see how my predictions stacked up:

1. @AmbitionLCP finished at 27-7.

Shaq predicted 28-6. Would've nailed this one if Ambition didn't decide to bring the JV squad against Venom. Still predicted to have the best regular season overall and make the finals. I got pretty damn close.

❌

2. @BBoyslcp finished 23-11

Shaq's prediction 24-8. For starters, i can't math. Close on the win total and predicted Barry taking the chip which they choked away. I also predicted B&B taking the division easily.

❌

3. @TAKEOVER_LCP

Missed another prediction by a game. i blame STM Money for this. I predicted them losing to the Boozehounds which happened but didn't predict the absolute ass whipping that went down. Steelos should be ashamed of that effort. Takeover finished the season strong at 20-14 although my prediction missed at 19-15.

❌

4. @BalBoozehounds

The Boozehounds struggled towards the end of the season but still had them finishing 23-11. Finally got one right. It was also predicted that Ambition eliminating them in the second round.

✅

5. @ReignLcp

Like i said Schlegel had his work cut out and figured out how to keep his team in the playoff hunt to not only upset HCOTB but beat the league champs in Barry but got hosed by a rule that probably shouldn't exist. Regardless I predicted Reign finished at 17-17 and they did just that. No knock against B&B but I would've like to see Super Sleaze in the finals. Reign definitely earned that spot.

✅

6. @HcotbLcp

Twan went with the double locks with one of the best pg's in the league but couldn't make it out the first round. I said HCOTB would finish above Reign at 18-16, which happened, and lose out in the finals to B&B, which didn't. They got swept out by a total of 6 points in the probably the most entertaining series of the playoffs.

✅

7. Prime Elite

Nearly got this one. Elite made a very strong push at the end of the season and almost overtook Reign for the 3rd see int the East. Elite finished one game behind Reign at 14-20. I predicted 13-21 and the first round sweep at the hands of B&B.

❌

8. Kraken

I expected Kraken to crumble letting Venom in the playoffs but missed that too. I predicted Kraken finishing at 10-24 but the showed me ending the season at 12-22

❌

9. Venom

This was my darkhorse but that bitch died in the shoot. Venom was predicted to finish 12-22 and squeeze past Kraken for that last playoff spot in the West. Instead they finished 7-27. Fail.

❌

10. Magma 5 @c28_fire

I called the team a dumpster fire at mid season and it stayed that way. I also gave them too much credit by predicting their record at 10-24. Magma decided that was too many wins and only won 2 more games after the half way mark.

❌

Looking back i guessed three right, missed four by one game, missed the other by two games so I wasn't completely shit. I mean my prediction was 30% which was better than Magma 5 & Venom's winning percentage.

There's a lot to take away from this season. Zelle did what he does best. Draft a great team to ride the bench in hopes of getting another ring. There's talk of no more admin/captains so expect Zelle to be drafted low and traded for basically nothing. The same can be said for Daws and the Boozehounds but he actually tries to contribute to winning his own ring. Barry did his thing this season while showing the naysayers that drafting your boys can be successful. Twan tries to literally draft his family but just can't turn it into a championship although he had the team to do it this season but ran into Super Sleaze. Reign did what i thought they would do earlier in the season by moving Sleaze to primary pg duty and flooding teams out. It proved to be the answer in the playoffs but Schlegel forgot to check his stream rewarding B&B with some bullshit. Anyways Steelos to some drafted the pg of the future. Didn't quite play out that way. Bro couldn't hit the ocean falling out a boat. Elite tried hard but that's about it. The rest of the teams were just there to hand out wins.

Season awards predictions:
League MVP
This is a tough one. Curryslide had the best numbers with 26.3 ppg and 10.5 apg, 52.6% 3pt. Curry was able to facilitate his team from one of the worst offenses to regularly scoring 70+ ppg. He definitely was the reason HCTOB made it to the 2 seed. He was bested by Sleaze in the playoffs though. Sleaze's number aren't indicative of what Sleaze is capable at doing at the pg spot. He still scored 21.3 pp and shot 53% 3pt and 60% from the field. He only averaged a little over 3 assists per game but he ran the season primarily at hash so those number would've been higher with Sleaze at pg. Barry had a solid season finishing with 22 ppg with also 10 apg. Those are a little behind what Curry put up but Barry did manage to make the Finals for what that's worth.

To me it can go either way between Curryslide and Sleaze but I'd give the edge to Curryslide for the simple fact to he completely changed his team's trajectory and my opinion is the best pg in the league.

Offensive Player of the Season
Some might give this award to Sleaze and its very deserving but he didn't have high numbers in the other offensive stats. Thats why i give the OPS award to Barry. Like stated before, Barry had an excellent season averaging in the top 5 in ppg, apg while shooting a high percentage from the floor and adding a filthy floater to his game.

Defensive Player of the Season
Traditionally this award always goes to a lock but not this season. I got this award to a probably the best overall center in the league in Hunsburglar. Huns held the paint down for Ambition, who finished the season with the best defense, and ranked towards the top in rebounds per game. Huns' numbers aren't what wins him this award. It's his ability to play smart team defense while controlling most his matchups on the boards.

Rookie of the Season
There weren't a lot of rookies but Nando easily outplayed them all. Nando averaged 7.6 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 2.2 ast, 1.7 stl. Nando was a big part of B&B's success and showed that his is a legitimate swing in the league.

Most Improved Player of the Season
Pwill wins this by a landslide. He did a little bit of everything this season for Ambition and did it well. He played the PnR, lock, rebounded, made a smart pass, and shot his ass off in the finals. Bro has a bucket from the corner.

Best Manager
This award should be thrown at Zelle after he finessed the league drafting one of the better pg's this season who's schedule just so happen to open up after getting on Zelle's squad. Say what you want they would've made the playoffs regardless of Ant's availability. Ambition still probably finish at the 1 seed so i don't see the season outcome changing. Ant would've been there in the playoffs anyways.

Finals MVP
Ant. Nobody decided to rotate back to him after their initial rotation leaving him more open his new schedule. Ant couldn't miss.

Lesson learned for this season for an easy ring:
1. Promise availability for only minimum games
2. Have your boys draft you
3. Turn full time
4. Win a chip and act like nothing happened

See all of you in 25

[LCP Network @LCPNetwork_]

Takeover get sent home first but dont let that take away from their season. Who's next to go fishing?

[LCP SHAQ @LCP_SHAQ]

@LCPNetwork_ With the last third of the season remaining, these last divisional series will prove pivotable for almost every team down the stretch. The majority of the teams are within striking distance of the conference leaders, but Ambition, Booze, and B&B don’t run the risk of missing the playoffs no matter how bad this last part of the season might go. Here’s my current rankings and predictions for the remainder of season 13.

1. Ambition (19-3) @AmbitionLCP

This team has been the favorite since the season started. Antbooty has lead the way averaging 18 ppg, 11 apg while only giving up 1.6 topg. This efficiency makes Ambition a difficult opponent but Ike & Kanu are able to pick up ball handling duties if Ant draws a tough lock. Ambition have excellent guard play but don’t overlook their forwards. Huns is back to his dominate ways with 14.8 ppg, 13.8rpg and 1.8 bpg. Ant’s and Huns’ make a formidable duo when Ant decides to run the PnR.

Ambition will end with the best record of 28-6 dropping a few games to the Boozehounds and Takeover. Poised to make a deep playoff run, Ambition will make the finals.

2. Barry and the Boys (16-6) @BBoyslcp

Right now Barry and the Boys are the hottest team in the league. Their 4 game win streak has put them atop of their conference with no real challenger with Reign’s recent decline. Barry has taken another step forward at pg and is a MVP favorite this season. Barry averages 20.5 ppg, 9.7 apg and shooting 47% from three. Barry can rely on Byrie’s 15.8 ppg but that’s not the team’s biggest strength. Yurpa is putting up MVP numbers with 16.6ppg, 15rbg, 1.6bpg.

Barry and the Boys will win the conference finishing 24-8. Barry will only be really challenged by HCOTB while running through the rest of the divisional blocks. Barry will lead his team to the final if he can keep from games where he and Byrie both shoot poorly.

3. Takeover (12-10) @TAKEOVER_LCP

Takeover is beginning to build a strong 1-2 punch in Chrxnch and Money. This combo provides most of the teams points with the only having crow as another scoring threat. The Chrxnch Money combo gives Takeover 34 ppg but has accounted for 50 plus in the last couple of blocks. This team is still making small improvements but how will they play against teams who decide to take away Chrxnch or Money. Can either of those players be able to carry and can Crow pick up that slack. Steelos has been a serviceable center, but his inexperience shows when playing against the more distinguished bigs. No one expects Swiper to remain at “lock”. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes his pg debut in the playoffs.

Takeover will finish the season with a 19-15 record. Takeover will more than likely match up against Boozehounds in the playoffs.

4. Boozehounds (17-5) @BalBoozehounds

This team rely solely on how Sparks shoots. If he’s hot, they win. Recently Sparks has been struggling with hitting 35.7% from the floor. The Boozehound offense gets a huge boost when Whippits decides to play. Whippits leads the league with points per game with 28.2. Boozehounds have to get that production in the playoffs if they hope to go past the first round. Roster consistency is the biggest issue facing this team but expect the regulars to showup for the playoffs.

Boozehounds finish the season with a record of 23-11. They reach the conference finals by eliminating Takeover in 5 games but cant stop the Ant & Ike combo to advance to the Finals.

5. Reign (12-10) @ReignLcp

Schlegel has his work cut out and needs to do it in a hurry. Reign is 2-8 on the last 10 games and 1-5 since acquiring Soul. They’re not out by any means but need to figure out the offense especially when Sleaze isn’t in the line up. I think Schlegel should turn the ball handling duties over to Sleaze for the rest of the season or at least have him touch the ball each possession. Soul has averaged 15.9 ppg with 7.8 apg with over 50% shooting from the floor and three. Sleaze has slightly higher numbers with 20.4ppg and shooting 56.9% from the floor and just over 51% from deep. Schlegel is having another solid season averaging 11.4 ppg with 14.1 rpg. This team can be dangerous if they return to their winning ways.

Reign finish the season at 17-17 and can't advance to the Conference Finals.

6. HCOTB (10-12) @HcotbLcp

Twan doubled down on defense by picking up the toxic OG Damage. This makes his team a legitimate challenger to the top teams and could sneak up on a few if not taken serious. HCOTB’s new pg, Curryslide, has given the team the boost it needed by the offensive output increasing by 11.3 ppg. Curry averages 25.6 ppg, 11.3 apg, 56% FG and 52.6% 3FG. I can see Curry being in MVP contention if the team continues to win. The combo of Damage and Intellect gives HCOTB easily the best defensive backcourt. Both locks have shown to be very consistent knock down shooters. Lastly, a lot of responsibility lies in Random by how he facilitates Curry. This is a scary team if he can keep setting screens to free up Curry’s shot. Random, who’s usually hesitant to shoot, has been letting it fly this season shooting 52.5% from behind the line.

HCOTB will finish second in the conference by finishing 18-16. HCOTB outlast Reign in the first round of the playoffs but fall to Barry in the next round.

7. Prime Elite (7-15)

So this team keeps changing. Titan leads the way for Elite with 18.7 ppg, 9.1 apg but hasn’t had that much help in the first part of the season. Now, Elite has picked up Mustang and Donn. This bolsters both sides of the ball but I don’t think it will take them any further in the playoffs. Elite could surprise the teams ahead of them. We will see how Donn changes the dynamics of this already offensive team. Elite’s best hope is to get into the 3rd position somehow to play either Reign or HCOTB. That being said, Elite did just split a series with Barry so its not a death sentence if they do draw Barry in the first round.

Prime finish 13-21 and take Barry’s team to the limit but end up losing 3-2. Prime has no real answer for Yurpa.

8. Kraken (7-15)
I’m not real sure why Lou was traded but I think that sealed Kraken’s fate this season. Kraken is left with no real pg or at least one that is close to Lou’s abilities. Adding Beast was a positive but Kraken will rely heavily Beast to improve on his 16.1 ppg. Maybe Mac has a plan for Fav or Jimmie to make up for the void Lou leaves. If not, I think Venom could make their first playoff appearance.
Kraken finished this season with a record of 10-24.

9. Venom (4-18)
Picking up Lou was huge and I think saved Venom’s season. This addition will go nicely with Grind, Lowkey, KB and Z. Lowkey was already playing an impressive pg but with Lou at the helm, Grind should see a significant increase in shot opportunities. Its hard to predict this team ceiling but I think Venom will catch and pass Kraken but anything more than that will add to Lou already MVP like season. This team to me is a must watch down the stretch.

Venom finish the league’s last season at 12-22 making the playoffs. I think they will be a difficult opponent for whichever team draws them.

10. Magma 5 (6-16) @C28_FIRE

This team is a dumpster fire although the have a good shot at making the playoffs. CFire is having a down season scoring 14.3 ppg, 12.1 apg and shooting 46& FG. This season can be turned around by the addition of Demi and JR Trinity. These two can score a lot if left open. Demi also has a lock that could help with the teams defensive struggles. Boss is still doing what he does, scoring 9.5ppg and 13 rpg but cant carry the team himself. This team can make the playoffs if Chris returns to his old self.

Magma 5 finish up 10-24 and miss the playoffs.

LCP Season 13 Finals Predictions:

Barry proves to be too much for Ambition in the LCP finals. The finals end 3-1 in Barry’s favor. Ambition don’t have enough to stop Barry’s three headed attack in Barry, Bryie and Yurpa. Barry and Byrie shooting goes from hot to cold during the Finals but Yurpa dominates the paint averaging 22 ppg and 18 rpg. Barry finally wins their first team championship to end LCP’s 2k24 seasons.

However my predictions playout we all know this for certain, @LCP_CHUCK is a crybaby bitch who needs to push his dinner plate away and be an actual analyst.

This entire season has an asterisk. Reign got a 5th round pick booted and replaced with a former MVP , takeover got a comp Pg in the 4th round and Ambition scammed the entire league with Ant lying. Give booze the championship and let’s get to 2k25 @LCPNetwork_

[HCOTB LCP @HcotbLcp]

@LCPNetwork_ Series of the Block Post Game Analysis, @ReignLcp vs @BBoyslcp
Game 1 – The first half stay competitive with Reign going to the locker room with a 1 point advantage. Soul carried the team with 9 points and 3 assists. The team shot well collectively from deep to keep them in the game. Yurpa’s stats jump off the page with his 12 points and a crazy 12 boards. Barry and Byrie combined for 0/7 from behind the arc but the Yupra’s dominance of the glass kept offensive possession alive to allow B&B to score 32 at the half.
The second half kicked off as a shootout until Reign’s guards proved to be a little off pushing Reign to only 9 points in the third. Fortunately for Reign, Barry’s boys couldn’t capitalize either by ending the quarter with 44 points. Reign desperately needed a consistent scorer if they wanted a change to take the first game going to the final quarter……where the hell is Sleaze?
The first minute showed nothing from either team but shitty ass basketball with multiple fastbreak opportunities wasted from not being patient and finding the open shooter. Sleaz makes an appearance going 2-2 from the line but Reign needs more than that from him. The games tied until a reverse fifi is called and Khris splashes a hash three. The rotation was solid but the defender was greedy and reached, sending him into the scoring table, 47-44. The game is tied by timely shooting from Cuzzie but their defense falls asleep and Barry walks it to basket to go ahead by 2. Another corner hit from Cuzzie takes the game to 50-49 with 2:23 left in the game. Sleaze then again scores off a missed middy from Barry putting Reign up by three. Barry’s team offensive is becoming stale but Barry is bailed out drawing contact on his way to the rack but are still down with the time dipping below one minute. A few possessions pass of poor decision making by both teams….. again where the hell is Sleaze? 40 seconds on the clock and Soul works his magic to get an open fade to drop at the free throw line increasing their advantage to three points. Barry rushes downcourt and gets an open lane by decides to kick back out to a covered Byrie for a missed three. Schlegel grabs the board with 21 tick left but wait, turns it over, Barry’s ball. Barry tries his heroics, gets open but clanks a deep right hash three. Excellent matchup but Reign creeps out a win over a extremely poor shooting B&B team that shot 3/17 from three point land. This game is a double digit win for Barry if he and Byrie didn’t break the backboard with the bricks thrown at it. They both combined for a lousy 0/13 from deep.

Game 2 – Barry’s team starting warming up in the closing minutes of the first quater hitting three consecutive threes from Barry and Byrie. Reign’s in trouble if this is allowed to continue. The buzzer sounds with B&B up by 5. Both team’s guards are trading point with Soul & Sleaze combining for 11 points and shooting 4/6 from the floor. Barry & Byrie total 14 points and shot a 5/7 from the field.
Barry & Byrie continue their hot streak scoring the teams first 14 of the team’s 16 points out of the break. Reign did what they could to stay in the game behind Soul & Sleaze’s 27 points but Reign couldn’t match B&B’s 31 points from their guards. 39-31 at the half and the game has turned in a shootout but I don’t think that will play into Reign’s favor unless Barry and Byrie cool off. The third showed why Barry’s team is the most dangerous in the league, their fast break. Little has been said about B&B’s scoring prowess on the fastbreak. No one has matched their ability to put up huge numbers as efficiently off the fastbreak like Barry has. This puts any team on their heels with only the hops of missed shots to slow down Barry’s blitzing fastbreaks. Reign weren’t that lucky. 31 of Barry’s 48 second half points came off the fastbreak. That’s insane. Barry & Byrie totaled 71…..71 points while shooting 73% from the field, 71% from three. I haven’t seen numbers that high since @LCP Chuck told me his cholesterol levels. The game end in a 87-59 blowout but Reign didn’t play bad. Sleaze shined with 35 points and 9/13 from deep but that was really the only thing of note from that team.

Game 3 – Another blowout. It’s not that Schlegel’s squad played bad but saw what happens when B&B run the break. Some games put things into perspective. This game showed that whoever decided to allow Squire to cover Yurpa doesn’t respect Yurpa’s game or is a complete dumbass. Squire was abused like a young artist looking for a contract at a Diddy party. Barry’s team once again showed why their best offense is the fastbreak. Barry consistently hits the open hash or cutter. The combination of Macho and Khris run the attacking guards flawlessly in transition. Reign needs to hit the drawing board and figure out that defense. With no real lock, Reign could see an early exit in the playoffs. I’ll say it again, Barry and his boys will be a tough out and I believe they’re top of the power rankings. The best defense against B&B is making baskets. Their fastbreak efficiency is lethal.
