First off, let me say that I agree that SV can be beat, even within the region. But it would take a below-average game on their part to drop a game to another team in the 15th. If it did happen, JC would be the most likely beneficiary.

I do disagree somewhat with your assessment, though. You are correct that SV is very beatable with Justice limited. All 4 of their losses this year came in the 6 games immediately after the injury, the first 3 in which he did not play at all, and the next 3 he played very little. So there is a definite dropoff without him. But I disagree that JC has the players to limit Justice. To be honest, the only times he has been held in check all year was when he was injured. If JC concentrates too much on trying to slow him down, the other Valley players are all solid and should be able to get the job done. Just having Justice on the court and healthy means so much to this team.

It is hard to argue with your statements. SV is a very solid, sound and fundamanetal team. Thier one weakness is they are not as athletic and quick as some of the other teams. JC has the size, quickness and depth to play with SV, but they are not as sound fundamantally and they have still not come togather as a team but are close. JC will get a look at SV at thier place during the regualr season so they will know what they have to do come region time. If SV has a weak game and JC is on tract SV is very beatable. Again there is alot of ifs.
