With a big win this week over the Lancers in Baltimore, we head on our second leg of our four game road trip to end the season in Honolulu. With injuries to many of the guards on the team, the big men stepped up as we were carried this week by center Myles Turner and forwards Jaren Jackson and Keldon Johnson. We're hoping to get healthier this week, and to get some time in on the beach. Seriously, why don't the Kahunas have an open air stadium? Either way, we're wearing the Evergreen set this week, shown by last week's top scorer, Myles Turner!

A big win over Honolulu last week, keeping us in the driver's seat for winning the West Division. The road gets much more difficult this week, as we continue the AltSports longest road trip (by distance). To recap, we left Seattle to go to Baltimore, then from Baltimore to Honolulu, and now from Honolulu to New York. We're at 12,135 miles, and still have one more leg on this journey. Obviously, we're heading to New York, and there we're going to match up against the Sentinels. New York is in control of their division and destiny as well, so we're both looking to keep our division leads and lock up a playoff home game. We're going to be doing that in the 57 Facets jerseys, as we break them out for the final time this season. We're showing them off with big #22, Deandre Ayton!

With an Invaders win and a Marshals loss last week, the two teams battling for the Central are tied in the standings once again. The same teams are battling in week 18, so the division title - and the top seed in the Western Conference - will come down to whoever wins this game. We'll be coming in with a better team than two weeks ago, headlined by F/C Christian Wood - seen here finding out he's been traded back to Albuquerque. With a lot on the line this week, we're turning back to the trusty turquoise tops (and bottoms) to get us across the line. #OutOfThisWorld #QuerqBoys #ABQvsKC

Actually, Dan, the Invaders led the league in scoring last week. We needed all of it too, because in what was somehow only the second-closest game of the regular season's final week, we managed to stave off a fierce comeback attempt from the Marshals and earn the regular season split. As a result, we head into the postseason with our second consecutive division championship despite being in two different divisions in the past two years. Oh, and we also earned something else. Joel, could you remind me what seed the Invaders are in the West?



Thanks, Joel. #OutOfThisWorld #QuerqBoys #LAvsABQ
