Yo from RoPo!
COMMISSIONER'S NOTES:
Hello, FBA Fans!
WOO! Alright, finally starting to rev up the machine again!
As you can see, I've backtracked the date a bit. To try to keep things consistent within the FBA Universe, we're going to play this out as if the last games of Round 2 were held on June 28th and June 29th… and then a week break took place so that the first game of Round 3 is held on July 6th. Hopefully that will get things back in order!
And as you can see with tonight's victories, it turns out there will be only one game tomorrow on FBA Courtside: LIVE! So let's make it a good one!!

"Rolf got in 3 for 3 in 3-pointers in 3 minutes of play. I wiki'ed that number and it said 333 represents a demon. Congrats Rolf!"
"What are EDMTotems doing here in Conf Finals?!!"
"Aren't #7 seeds supposed to die in first round?"
"@EDMTotems is awesome, nuff said."
by: Mitch Dunn
If you would ask me how far the Edmonton Totems would go this season, I would not have said going to the Conference Finals. But after witnessing a crowd of copper and blue celebrating the 4th win in Round 2 like a championship, it had to be real.
With a dominant Rocky Caracal hauling 26 points and sparking every single attack with great confidence, the Totems went on to play one of the most defensively dominant games of the series. The rebounds on defensive sides were ridiculously high, with Lenny Hicks and Marko Sly hauling in 17 and 16 rebounds respectively, while Godfrey Zindendel topped those numbers with 19 of his own. But it didn't seem enough, as hard as the Whips held back, and came close to tying up the game. But a cross-court attempt by Alan Chesuk bounced off the boards, onto the ground, and sealed the fate of this year's Santa Fe Whips.
The Edmonton Totems showed the league that Alberta's capital has got game, not just Winnipeg. While it took several moves in the off-season and during the season to craft the winning team that is now blazing on the court, GM Percy van West did a lot of things right. Now all he needs to do is keep consistency with the Totems to make them a contender on a constant basis. The fans are here, the team is here, and a lot of good things have been done since their first ever game.
"It's a great community to be in." Rocky Caracal says after the game. "And I could feel how loud it was just 10 minutes ago. Edmonton may be a hockey city, but it shows great love for our kind of sport, and that's wonderful. I hope I can be part of a long legacy here."
I hope so too, Rocky. Edmonton and Winnipeg are the next pinnacles of Canadian basketball, and they are making this game great to watch. Not just for Canada, but for the world.
