Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 3 Part 2

JW City Bulls vs. Da Fat Boy Slim 81 - 97 (42320090)

Two best friends but here on the cour tthey were rivals. Still Datzilla's elite ABBL squad featuring the much feared Hunter Hawthorn at PF were able to get the job done. This is a bit like Gortat behind Howard, once he got a chance he showed how good he was. Waterhouse and Relja Lauševic aren't bad either.

3 Taylor Waterhouse Da Fat Boy Slim 23 PTS 7 AST 10 REB. Hard to split the top few players but this near triple double was impressive.

2 Joel Vulcan JW All Stars 34 PTS 8 AST. Between the points and assists Joel had a hand in most of the teams offence for the match.

1 Hunter Hawthorn Da Fat Boy Slim 17 PTS 11 REB. Duffill who?

Whompas Donkeys vs. Koopasaurus 60 - 89 (42320087)

A great effort by the Donkeys kept them close to Koop and his All-Aussie team which was once again led by two time ABBL MVP and legend Donnell White while the Arc struggled yet again. For the Donkeys it was prolific scorer Dewey Bowers that tried to keep them in the game but just didn't have enough support.

3 Donnell White Koopasaurus 19 PTS 21 REB. The man, the legend!

2 Wazza Kennerley Koopasaurus 18 PTS. Back in the SF position he smothered his man keeping him to 2/10 shooting.

1 Dewey Bowers Whompas Donkeys 17 PTS. Tried hard but with team mates hitting 2/10, 1/10 and 1/11 it wasn't going to happen.

Possum Chasers vs. Chelsea Seagulls 99 - 85 (42320086)

The Seagulls hope this will be a division II winning squad but right now it doesn't look like a division III winning squad. New players Lawrance and Sperbert were brilliant, the old players were pathetic. For the Chasers who played Naker-style it was Gherardo Maci who was the damaging man slaughtering the Seagulls Hołówka. Funny that with their entire team playing 48 minutes that it was the exhausted Chasers that ran away with the game in the 4th after going into it all even.

3 Gherardo Maci Possum Chasers 27 PTS 6 AST 6 REB and a blanketing on his man.

2 Marko Sperbert Chelsea Seagulls 31 PTS. The scoring machine didn't just get his he shut down his man as well and currently leads the entire league in scoring by a wide margin.

1 Trinh Trinh Possum Chasers 21 PTS 8/11 FGS. Had the toughest battle of the night with Lawrance who had great stats but just couldn't stop TT scoring at such a high rate.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 4

JW City Bulls vs. Black Label Society 89 - 115 (42320095)

JW goes 2-3 and BLS goes run and gun. Blam! Despite this JW put in a solid effort not getting totally blown out by the ABBL Semi-finalist.

3 Gary Howorth Black Label Society 24 PTS 6 AST. A great effort and a coin toss between him and McArthur for MVP. Howarth rebounded less but shot better and fouled less, but McArthur got to the free throw line like a small Dwight Howard. Heads.

2 Shaun McArthur Black Label Society 28 PTS 5 AST 5 REB. Fantastic effort. Tails. Sorry.

1 Jarrod Corica JW City Bulls 20 PTS 4 AST.

Bell Park SuperCats vs. Chumunga 103 - 82 (42320096)

Chumunga was faced with a virtual five on one match and with enthusiasm still around negative 12 they didn't have much chance and should have just gone through the motions. But someone forgot to tell Gerd Jahe.

3 Gian Piero Della Corte Bell Park SuperCats 39 PTS 18.0 rating. One of the ABBL's best guards not that often you see someone who played 40 minutes at SG get an 18.0!

2 Gerd Jahe Chumunga Gerd 55 point, the rest of the team 27. And did it against Pitama Tau! Wow!

1 Kamilis Fedorcukas Bell Park SuperCats 22 PTS 11 REB. A guy with way too much jump range and atrocious inside shot but can flat out defend. Got 11 rebounds while playing SF with only respectable REB, go figure.

Whompas Donkeys vs. Possum Chasers 95 - 77 (42320092)

Two division III teams with promotion aspirations, but looking at this match I will be putting my money on the Donkeys this season. If it wasn't for the Donkey's massive foul count this would have been a blowout.

3 Dewey Bowers Whompas Donkeys 52 PTS 14.0 rating. Some disappointing efforts so far this season but we knew eventually this scoring machine would explode.

2 Arturo Sbaraglia Possum Chasers 21 PTS 13 REB. A huge gap between the top and the second top players and when TT could only get 6 rebounds Arturo had to do everything.

1 Medartas Tvarijanavicius Whompas Donkeys Totally kept TT off the boards.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 4 Part 2

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Da Fat Boy Slim 67 - 92 (42320097)

Duffman is back. Waterhouse is still owning all. The Goldfish experimented with some really unusual tactics trying to channel Team Lordy. Fail!

But Skyhooks making this one of the games fo the round instead of Seagulls vs Pancakes, EPIC FAIL!

3 Kye Duffill Da Fat Boy Slim 19 PTS Guess who's back. Back again. Duffman's back. Tell a friend.

2 Ofek Kabilio Melbourne Goldfish 22 PTS 14 REB. Ofek would probably argue that he outplayed Duffman, scoring more, at a higher rate and with double the rebounds but he couldn't bring the win.

1 Taylor Waterhouse Da Fat Boy Slim 14 PTS 17.0 rating. Urmammas must have been totally insane to sell this beast, this is the monster who has changed everything for Da Fat Boy Slim!

Geelong Vipers vs. Koopasaurus 81 - 95 (42320094)

A great effort by the Vipers with scores level at the half with the Vipers winning the rebound battle with the ARC disappointing again. But a decline in the second with Koop hitting all sore of crazy 3 pointers (11/24 to 0/10) behind NT player and legend Wazza got them over the line.

3 Wazza Kennerley Koopasaurus 31 PTS 7 REB. Wazzzaup?

2 Sam Rosales Geelong Vipers. 23 PTS of 9/12 shooting, very efficient.

1 Alfred Rooney Koopasaurus 16 PTS. Efficient as always finding the right players in the Princeton.

Pancakes with Jam and Cream vs. Chelsea Seagulls 135 - 138 (42320093)

How did Skyhook not make this the game of the round? This was one of the most thrilling games ever. Overtime, pssht, this was quadruple OT. Honestly I would be exhausted trying to describe the ebbs and flows in this epic match that C-Cat and I both watched live. Incredible comebacks, buzzer beaters, full court alley oop dunks. Crazy!

Final 1 2 3 4 1OT 2OT 3OT 4OT Total
Pancakes with Jam and Cream 23 26 26 21 11 10 10 8 135
Chelsea Seagulls 23 18 36 19 11 10 10 11 138

We discussed who could be the MVP after the game and it was hard with so many amazing highlights and incredible plays. In the end we went with:

3 Gary Lawrance Chelsea Seagulls 28 REB. The Seagulls had a one big man lineup, if Lawrance didn't get the carom then Pancakes would.

2 Xavier Rodger Pancakes with Jam and Cream One of the most incredible plays ever.

1 Marko Sperbert Chelsea Seagulls 51 PTS is nothing special for the scoring freak who leads the league by almost 10 PPG but he fouled out in the 4th leaving others to finish the job.

Honorable Mention: Elliott Watton Pancakes with Jam and Cream. With players fouling out, being injured, being benched and being close to lucky fans on court 34 year old $6k Watton stepped onto the court and had 5 steals, 5 assists and 7 rebounds!

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 5

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Black Label Society 115 - 128 (42320102)

I noted before how BLS seems to have the incredible knack to win all of their close games (I am sure he will know plenty of counter examples) and here is yet another case. The Goldfish had a 4 point lead with 13 seconds to go but still managed to lose the game with BLS hitting 2 clutch 3 pointers through Du Phùng and McArthur in the last few seconds of regulation to force OT. BLS also shot an incredible 28-31 free throws with only 2 players missing a free throw the whole match, it doesn't appear on Sports Center but it is where matches are won. One reason that this match was so close is that BLS were trying out some funny tactics with Gary Howorth at C and Yavar Zarrinche at SG, this experiment was a dismal failure.

3 Shaun McArthur Black Label Society 71 PTS. Couldn't miss from anywhere, probably the high score for the league for the season.

2 Xie Guanzheng Melbourne Goldfish 27 PTS 8 AST. Not a shadow of McArthur but he and Wang fought hard all game against the mighty BLS.

1 Grgur Fatur Black Label Society 20 PTS 20 REB. While his coach may have been dissapointed by his defence on Ofek a 20/20 game is always something special.

Possum Chasers vs. Pancakes with Jam and Cream 77 - 117 (42320098)

Not much to say here about this blowout so onto the votes.

3 Liang Huaizheng Pancakes with Jam and Cream (9469661)I put in the link so you can check for yourself. It is official, he is #1 PF in the world!

World : Ranks #1 in PF

2 Yiftach Chaim Pancakes with Jam and Cream 31 PTS and 9 AST he was all over the offence and now running it in Lietuva > League LBBL.

1 Josh Dowd Pancakes with Jam and Cream 22 PTS 8 AST 6 REB.

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Chumunga 94 - 69 (42320103)

Tremell has retooled his team and is looking strong, but this time he was meeting an ABBL team who have a good shot at a playoff position and the superior depth of Slim as well as their two stars Duffman and Waterhouse brought them home despite (or because of) the 2-3 zone.

3 Kye Duffill Da Fat Boy Slim 21 PTS 12 REB. Now one of the top scorers in the ABBL and a great chance to be the East MVP.

2 Taylor Waterhouse Da Fat Boy Slim I still think Urmummas must have been on crack to sell him, what a stupid move. Waterhouse is ripping up both the PL and the ABBL where he is top 10 assists and 14th in scoring. STUD!

1 Relja Lauševic Da Fat Boy Slim . Not close to the first 2 but solid.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 5 Part 2

Geelong Vipers vs. Whompas Donkeys 87 - 95 (42320099)

This was the margin game of the round and only one manager picked the Donkeys to win (although I did have the Vipers to win by 1 thinking it would be close). But the Donkeys have a secret which is now out, while I can't say his name I don't doubt his game, Medartas Tvarijanaviciuszuxuhhusvayyervgsius was the man!

3 Medartas "Alphabet" Tvarijanavicius Whompas Donkeys 32 PTS 12 REB. Also fouled out Viper star Rosales after just 31 minutes.

2 Cezar Eusala Whompas Donkeys 20 PTS. Horrible rating of 8.0 but everthing else was beautiful.

1 Ace Dispo Geelong Vipers Scored efficiently in his battle with Eusala hitting 8/13.

Bell Park SuperCats vs. Koopasaurus 112 - 116 (42320101)

The other great battle of the round saw 2 classy ABBL teams battle it out for the whole 48 minutes and while Koops Inside Box and One probably wasn't so good against the SuperCats Outside Isolation their Look Inside was very effective.

3 Maurizio "Fair Dinkum" Riso Koopasaurus 32 PTS 12 REB. While he did foul out early "Fair Dinkum" Riso did enough damage early to set Koop up for the win.

2 Kamilis Fedorcukas Bell Park SuperCats Just back from a stint on weight loss reality TV show Excess Baggage K-Fed has made a great start to the season before pulling a hammy 3 minutes into his ABBL league game against Glenelg Tigers which will see him sitting out for a couple of weeks.

1 Stefano Arcuato Koopasaurus 18 PTS 7/11 FGS. Purchased from Free Agency for $ 1 680 200 and caused nothing but disappointment so far I felt I had to give him a point when he had a reasonable game.

JW City Bulls vs. Chelsea Seagulls 92 - 106 (42320100)

Finally having my proper starting 5 on the court feels good. Now even if Sperbert has a quiet night others can step up. I was impressed with my big C Sherwin having 7 assists but Lawrance gave a taste of what I hope I will see from him for seasons to come. For JW Joel Vulcan took Barton to the cleaners and Jarrod Corica hit 9/13 against Oliver my defensive stud, but they couldn't stop Lawrance, even worse Larbi was back to his bench role rather than having to play 48+ as C and relished it hitting 7/9 for 16 PTS in 17 minutes.

3 Gary Lawrance Chelsea Seagulls 33 PTS 12 REB. The manager was willing to go all in to get Lawrance and with Lawrance 1st in rebounds and 4th in scoring in the East, he hasn't regretted it for a second.

2 Joel Vulcan JW City Bulls 25 PTS and totally dominated Barton showing the young punk who is still the master of the point.

1 Jared Sherwin Chelsea Seagulls 15 PTS 13 REB 7 AST. The Sherwinator is back, grabbing boards and dishing the rock like old times. Ah, it feels good.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 6

The computer with all my ladders on it is broken. I am hoping to get it back any day now.

Chumunga vs. Black Label Society 82 - 102 (42320109)

A much improved Chumunga made this a competitive game but Grgur Fatur (6891539) the ABBL runner-up MVP and his Inside Shot: phenomenal wouldn't let his team lose even if he was playing his last PL game for BLS before being sold to a daytrader for only $ 530 700 who is currently dangling him for nearly double that.

3 Grgur Fatur Black Label Society 39 PTS 23 REB. Bought by BLS for $ 3 333 333 which is a much better reflection of his brilliance thn his sad selling price in this totally screwed up market. He will be much missed.

2 Shaun McArthur Black Label Society 26 PTS 4 AST 7 REB. Iwen says McArthur is the best player on BLS, with Fat Girl gone it may be true.

1 Glen Tidwell Chumunga 21 PTS. Fought bravely against McArthur and hit 7/11 FGs.

JW City Bulls vs. Pancakes with Jam and Cream 93 - 107 (42320105)

JW did a brilliant job keeping close to this legendary ABBL team who feature some of the best Aussie talent on the planet including NT star and number one ranked PF* in the world Liang Huaizheng and rising star Gerd Zero.

3 Liang Huaizheng Pancakes with Jam and Cream 36 PTS 13 REB and the standard 6 fouls. He can beyours tomorrow night for about $1.5 million. Tempting...

2 Patrick Neal Pancakes with Jam and Cream Only 23 and with MVP potential I'll bet the NT coach is happy Neal is getting trained, he is a killer anyway, but after what looks like a season of one on one for forwards he will be unstoppable.

1 Joel Vulcan JW City Bulls 23 PTS. Forget Tos it is Vulcan who seems to be stepping up week after week for the Bulls and just willing his team to compete.

Geelong Vipers vs. Possum Chasers 96 - 69 (42320104)

After being totally worn out by the Naker Virus it is taking seasons for PP to rebuild while the Vipers have quickly established themselves as a solid division II team in the tough II.3 Big 8.

3 Sam Rosales Geelong Vipers 21 PTS 13 REB. All done in just 27 minutes.

2 Ace Dispo Geelong Vipers 24 PTS 10 REB. An ace job by the PF playing at SF who fought hard against Sbaraglia inside but had no answer when he took him outside.

1 Arturo Sbaraglia Possum Chasers 27 PTS. With TT having a horrible night (3/13 FGS) someone had to step up and he did having a great battle with Dipso and hit 5/6 3 pointers and should have taken more as Dipso couldn't contain him on the perimeter.

* = Personal Fouls.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 6 Part 2

Bell Park SuperCats vs. Whompas Donkeys 106 - 65 (42320106)

Bell Park are having some early troubles in the ABBL but none here winning this blowout easily.

3 Pitama Tau Bell Park SuperCats 28 PTS 28 REB. Massive numbers by a massive man.

2 Fang Yao Zhong Bell Park SuperCats 23 PTS 12 REB and hit at an efficient rate of 10/15 in just 30 mins.

1 Pavlo Smalko Bell Park SuperCats. His stats weren't great but he kept his man to 0/13.

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Koopasaurus 83 - 94 (42320108)

The best of friends these old XBB Sharks are now both in the ABBL together and had an interesting game. Koops 2-3 zone slowed down Duffman but let Relja Lauševic explode via the use of the much discussed patient offence. There is no correct answer for MVP in this game but in the end I have gone wih Wazza Kennerley.

3 Wazza Kennerley Koopasaurus 17 PTS 5 AST 8 REB. To run a 2-3 zone you need a versitile SF who can defend the big boys and Wazza gives Koop that which meant they could control Duffman and win the game. Evidence of that is his game best +/- of +22.

2 Relja Lauševic Da Fat Boy Slim 41 PTS. The offence was totally through him but a disappointing 1 REB 3 AST and poor FG% kept him from the 3 votes.

1 Matt Mottram Koopasaurus 23 PTS. Snake Eyes was back top scoring for Koop but couldn't get more votes struggling defensively in the 2-3 zone.

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Chelsea Seagulls 154 - 144 (42320107)

Another exciting OT thriller for the Seagulls but this time with a different result. The two teams kept up their tradition of both playing R&G/FCP which maybe suited the Goldfish a little more and with their 1-2 punch now of Xie and Santos they are a hard team to shut down once running.

3 Xie Guanzheng Melbourne Goldfish. Is there anything grandfather can't do? Only played 53 minutes and hit a massive 47 PTS with 7 AST and 8 REB.

2 Marko Sperbert Chelsea Seagulls 37 PTS 10 AST 9 REb, just 1 shy of a triple double, hit a 3 with 7 seconds to go to send the game to OT but missed one with 1 second to go to win it. A night of almost greatness.

1 Telmo Santos Melbourne Goldfish 33 PTS 6 AST 6 REB. Weren't the Goldfish good enough without adding a $116,000 SF? He claims", "Back in Portugal in my young days I used to work on a ranch lasooing and branding rabid camels." Could be a hint for what the Goldfish intend to do this season.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 7

Bell Park SuperCats vs. Geelong Vipers 90 - 76 (42320111)

The division II teams continue to bring it on against the ABBL powerhouses and here again a vastly undermanned Vipers (top salary $76k) showed the ABBL bully SuperCats (5th top salary 114k) that they need to come ready to play. The Vipers actually won the rebounding battle by quite a margin.

3 Pavlo Smalko Bell Park SuperCats With all their 100k + players it was funny that Pavlo was the guy who made the biggest impression top scoring, most assists and a great rating.

2 Karp Kalachev Geelong Vipers 27 PTS 19 REB. This little fish wasn't intimidated. He knew he was in the Fishbowl where he belongs so had a game high in both REB and PTS keeping the Vipers in the game.

1 Pitama Tau Bell Park SuperCats 17 REB. While the other Cats were fouling out and not hitting the boards Tau did his job and was strong enough on the boards to keep the Cats out of hot water.

Melbourne Goldfish vs. Pancakes with Jam and Cream 102 - 91 (42320112)

While the last game saw a division II team make a close game against an ABBL one, this game saw the division II team get the upset. After being unlucky to lose to BLS in OT previously this time the Goldfish were more like piranahas and when they smelt blood went into frenzy mode. (Although confusingly the blood belonged to their own starting PG who went down to injury just 9 minutes in and should have spelt disaster.)

3 Xie Guanzheng Melbourne Goldfish 41 PTS. The score is nice but the efficiency? Xie hit 8/14 3 pointers and while not known for his defence he showed U21 star Zero that some of the old guys still can D up making him miss all of his field goal attempts.

2 Patrick Neal Pancakes with Jam and Cream 38 PTS 21 REB. Neal had a great battle with Ofek who wasn't too bad himself but Neal really had to do everything for the Pancakes with some team mates having dissapointing games.

1 Telmo Santos Melbourne Goldfish No-one likes a $120k SF, unless he happens to be on your team. When it was Xie scoring or nothing the Goldfish were easy. Now with Ofek and Santos they are a nightmare.

Possum Chasers vs. JW City Bulls 68 - 103 (42320110)

Possum Pete is still recovering from what Naker did to him. It may take seasons to recover. This game was a blowout and a 16 point comeback in garbage time still left it as a massive gap.

3 Damir Toš JW City Bulls The Tosser tossed in an easy 7/9 FGs in an easy win.

2 Yuan Xiangquan JW City Bulls 22 PTS a team high.

1 Martí Soler JW City Bulls If 7/9 was good for Tos it was great for Soler.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 7 Part 2

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Whompas Donkeys 85 - 67 (42320113)

Some interesting tactical choices from the Donkeys who despite facing Duffman went for the 3-2 zone, perhaps they feared Waterhouse more. They also made their players run a Nakeresque 48 minutes each.

3 Taylor Waterhouse Da Fat Boy Slim 19 PTS 7 AST 5 REB. Now regarded by many as the star of the team despite facing the 3-2 zone was able to hit an impressive 9/12.

2 Emre Durmaz Kündem Da Fat Boy Slim 18 PTS and also hit 9/12.

1 Kye Duffill Da Fat Boy Slim 24 PTS 12 REB. Scored well but against the 3-2 zone should have gone crazy and hit at least half of his shots while others were hitting 75%.

Black Label Society vs. Koopasaurus 102 - 76 (42320115)

After nearly getting burnt trying some funny taxctics against the Goldfish BLS showed up in full strength, well almost with former MVP "Fat Girl" sold and no-one to replace him on paper this was a much diminished team from the one that went to OT with the Goldfish. But the tactics matter a lot and this time they were back to basics and basically this was an ugly slaughter until garbage time when Koop dropped 38 on the BLS scrubs.

3 Gary Howorth Black Label Society 30 PTS. Some say he is the best player on BLS even with Fatur, has BLS become and outside team?

2 Yavar Zarrinche Black Label Society 18 REB 4 BLK. While he didn't score much he swatted, changed shots and then grabbed all the misses.

1 Du Phùng Black Label Society 14 PTS 6/9 FGS. Brilliant now and an MVP potential who is getting trained, he will be scary in the future.

Chumunga vs. Chelsea Seagulls 88 - 96 (42320114)

With both teams undefeated in their division IIs it looked like a classic showdown but when Masters went down after just 9 minutes Chumunga's plans were in tatters. The 2-3 zone controlled Lawrance well but who needs him scoring when you have S P E R B E R T?

3 Marko Sperbert Chelsea Seagulls 25 PTS 9 REB. Can score anywhere, from any position, anytime. I would love to see him and Underwood play.

2 Gerd Jahe Chumunga 27 PTS A SG playing PF who can still score like that and get a 13.0 rating? Wow.

1 Barton Melmeth Chelsea Seagulls 21 PTS. The scoring is good, but 9 AST and 6 STE is darn impressive.

HON MENTIONS: This was a hard game and some would have given Ivan Zlatanov 2 votes but I was more impressed with Gerd and despite his offensive woes Lawrance's 23 REB was a big reason for the Seagulls' win.

Fishbowl East MVPs Season 7 Week 8

Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Geelong Vipers 94 - 67 (42320118)

Not a close one with some Viper players hitting numbers like 2/19 or 5/18 but Rosales has the heart of a warrior and never gives up. I would have liked to have given both Kalachev (27 REB) and Duffman (17 REB) votes for their fantastic battle on the boards but their horrible shooting kept both out.

3 Choy Kian Yung Da Fat Boy Slim 15 PTS. Really there are no standouts in this game but 6/9 FGs was solid.

2 Sam Rosales Geelong Vipers 21 PTS. By far the best Viper he scored well and defended but was flogged on the boards by Duffman.

1 Taylor Waterhouse Da Fat Boy Slim Not enough assists but kept his man to 1/7.


Chumunga vs. Pancakes with Jam and Cream 89 - 101 (42320119)

Poor tremell just can't get a break, 6-0 in league he is constantly losing the close PL ones, still I am sure he would prefer it this way. Pancakes finally getting rid of foul machine Liang Huaizheng have replaced him with $2 million Kostas Ntolkas a smooth low fouling SG who dominated this match from the SF position.

3 Nigel Cubby Chumunga Danger! C-Cat may appeal to himself and I suspect he would uphold his appeal but despite being on the losing team 22 points at a high percentage and 23 rebounds means this week there is a Chubby MVP.

2 Kostas Ntolkas Pancakes with Jam and Cream 25 PTS 7 REB. First impression says $2 million well spent.

1 Gerd Zero Pancakes with Jam and Cream 23 PTS by far the best +/- in the match and this freak is just 21.

Melbourne Goldfish vs. JW City Bulls 87 - 72 (42320117)

It was the margin game of the round and at half time it looked like an upset with JW the only person picking JW looking like a genius. However this is the new Goldfish. Xie was shut down by the 3-2 zone but the other two of the big three loved the chance to score inside so Ofek and Santos plundered it at will.

3 Telmo Santos Melbourne Goldfish As if Xie can go 4/20 and the Goldfish still win. Well now with Santos scoring 33 and getting an OMG 15.0 rating as a SF they can easily.

2 Damir Toš JW City Bulls 29 PTS 18 REB. A great game by the prodigious inside scorer wasn't enough to stop him getting listed but at that price he may not sell anyway.

1 Ofek Kabilio Melbourne Goldfish After disappointing in his first few games Ofek has hit his stride. 18 PTS on 7/11 shooting and 13 REBs is always nice.
