I am giving up league title this season. Searching better player for next season BBB game

By winning the cup, you're already qualified for B3 tournament next season, it makes sense. So it will be kwaiwah or NOT in the finals again.

The 19th round of the season brings us only 3 games away from the end of the regular season. Let see what can still happen in both conferences.

Big 8
kwaiwah has 2 more win than the #2, with the best point difference of the entire league, there is no reason for them not to finish #1 of the whole MBBA.
Just behind, at #2 is Ginakia and they just won against the #3 NOT. With that win and an easy end of season, Ginakia should keep their #2 seat while NOT will have a more difficult schedule including a game against kwaiwah.
At #4, RedDevilz Basketball Club is in a comfortable position, a single win would lock their playoffs seat. Even if they lose their 3 remaining games, a loss by Ghostbusters and Red East Devil would also lock their playoffs seat.
The fight not to play the playdowns is tight as #5 Ghostbusters and #6 Red East Devil have the same number of wins. With easier games coming Ghostbusters has a small advantage not to play in the post season.
Even if it's not mathematical yet: #7 is for SRK St Agnes and #8 for the inactive Rampaging Bulls.

I am restructuring my team for next BBB game. If I able to get a better starter player, I still have a chance to meet you in final PO.

I guess you are looking for an inside based player, if you get the one you want, your team will be scary! I hope to meet you in the MBBA finals because it would mean my team is playing the finals (which I never did before).

One game remaining, here is where we stand.

Big8 ranking is already final, there won't be any change due to the last game of the season. However, last game in Great8 will determine playoffs ranking.

MyBBTeam won their last game against Telok Air Tawar Fusion, this win combined with the loss of Damientor @ PeeJay Reds means MyBBTeam will finish at the top rank of the conference. Their next opponent, PeeJay Reds, has almost no chances to make it to the playoffs due to a lower point difference than the 3 teams above. Those three teams all have the same ratio of W/L with 14 wins and 7 losses, come OWN me, Telok Air Tawar Fusion and Damientor, the last game will determine who rank where and here is THE game to follow: Telok Air Tawar Fusion @ Damientor. The winner should avoid finishing 4th.

For the playdowns, here are the games to be played:
SS2 @ Red East Devil
SRK St Agnes @ Ampang Stuporsonics

Playoffs games

RedDevilz Basketball Club @ kwaiwah
The two teams played 25 games against each other including 7 scrimmage games starting way back to season 8. However, it will be the first time they meet for a playoffs game. Apart from those 7 friendly games, kwaiwah won 17 on their 18 games.

Nick Of Time @ GinaKia
The historical game of the playoffs' first round. These two teams have played 2 MBBA finals against each other, Nick Of Time winning the title both times in season 12 and season 16. Their first game was in season 5, most of the players from that game retired before I was born. Nick Of Time has won 33 of their 47 games.

Telok Air Tawar Fusion @ MyBBTeam
The two teams never met in playoffs, MyBBTeam is leading 6W and 4L but it was 1 win each this season.

Damientor @ come OWN me
The two teams met 40 times since season 10. Damientor is leading in playoffs with 3W and 1L but come OWN me has won 21 of their 40 games. This season, the team with HCA advantage won, including the cup game when come OWN me won its way to the national tournament final.

Playdowns games
SS2 @ Red East Devil
SRK St Agnes @ Ampang Stuporsonics

Semifinals games

GinaKia @ kwaiwah
The two last MBBA champions have played 36 games together and each team has won 18 of them! The same goes to playoffs games where each team has won 1 game. Will GinaKia be able to defend its title?

come OWN me @ MyBBTeam
19 games played against each other, if MyBBTeam has won 1 more (10 to 9), come OWN me has won the only playoffs game back in season 25 despite not having the HCA. Will come OWN me make it to the finals 2 seasons in a row?

I predict kw got 80% to win... GinaKia need the 20% of luck

You predicted right but with bad Game Day Prediction, you didn't stand much chance. kwaiwah scored 83 points in the first 2 quarters with Base Offense, that's insane!

MBBA Finals
MyBBTeam @ kwaiwah
kwaiwah is back to regain the MBBA title, the most crowned team (8 MBBA titles) never lost in the finals. The challenge is great for MyBBTeam, who is going to play its first MBBA finals. Since season 15, all MBBA titles went to Big8. In 10 official games, kwaiwah won 9 of them.

Division II
Too Cool @ Double Lee
Sibu Swat @ Chronic Cynics
NovaRising @ ElectroLockz
Kelana Jaya Knights @ MadzBeater
Too Cool, ElectroLockz and MadzBeater may come back to MBBA one season after leaving it. Chronic Cynics was in MBBA 2 seasons ago and built a competitive team. Double Lee, NovaRising and Kelana Jaya Knights never managed to reach MBBA while Sibu Swat, one of the oldest Malaysian team, was in MBBA long ago, back in season 14.

And the S29 MBBA champion is...

...kwaiwah! The great start which gave kwaiwah a 12-point lead at the end of the first quarter ended being the key of the game. In the following 3 quarters, the two have been matching each other perfectly to end up with a well deserved 102-90 win for kwaiwah. The champions took back their crown! The French guard Lucas Rigoulet was the leading scorer with 28 points but the local heroes Mushfiqur Aslam (23pts 8-12 FG shooting) and Ethan Gion (17pts) were the one who made the plays when it counted the most. In the losing effort, Cheng Hengchang (24pts 11-16 FG shooting) managed to bring back his team to 6 points in the 4th quarter but it was not enough.

The new comers

Double Lee managed to beat Too Cool with the exact same score than the MBBA final game: 102-90. The best player was Chen Guangjie, leader of the Malaysia U21 NT this season, who compiled 22pts and 19rbs.
Chronic Cynics is back in MBBA with an easy win 103-60. The PG from Hong Kong, Ko Jer Ming, scored 26 points in only 29 minutes.
ElectroLockz is back one season after being relegated from MBBA. ElectroLockz is the only team which won the finals in only 2 games.
Kelana Jaya Knights was the surprising winner of II.4 with a blow-out win 87-46, the 2 injured players in MadzBeater's roster were the key; but don't underestimate Kelana Jaya Knights which is lead by the NT center Xiao Daocheng who easily grabbed 17 rebounds in this last game.

Congratulations to all the winners and good luck to all the losers to come back stronger next season.
