Is anyone else confused? So all games are important and most of the teams not only have to watch their game but watch another game and look at PD. Wow, I think this is the craziest scenario I have ever been a part of!

Wow. That was an awesome breakdown of the final weekend and what happens "if"! I agree with Sherlock though, I want to know about those three other things and now Covfefe’?

Lots of free time this week, teachers are still in school but not the kids.

Let's talk MVP:

Harvey Davila -Scrap
Juliusz Lunkiewicz- Space
David Skandik -Rhino's
Fidel Crespo -Rogues
Ahmet Bidikli -Puff
Ollie Green -Defenseless

Probably left some off.. who you got?

If you're going by Highest overall rating during the season... Here are the Top guys (in order) based on Rating.. And then their stats

1. Erik Ivan (Rhino)... 20.9 PPG 51% FG%, 47% 3FG% Top 10 in FGs made per game & top 3 in 3pt FGs made per game
2. Karl Forst (Scrap Heap)... 16PPG, But starting PG on one of the leagues top 2 teams! Solid contributor on a good team
3. Yorik Det (Puff)... Avg a Double Double 14.9 PPG 11.9 Rebs per game. Top 10 in Blks Per game & Off Rebs per Game
4. Cody Merd (Baker)... 15.9 PPG & 6.0 Ast per game, Top 10 in Steals Per game on a top 5 team in the league
5. Wally Ander (Defense)... Avg Massive Double Double 16PPG & 15.9 Rebs per game
6. David Skan (Rhino)...22.7 PPG Top 5 in Pts, Top 5 in FGs made, #1 in 3pt FGs made per game 48%FG 48% 3Pt FG%
7. Juls Lunk (Space Von).. Double Double 20PPG 15 Rebs, top 5 in FGs made per game.

On a losing Team Last of the 15+ Ratings guys (Not an MVP candidate due to team success)

8. Tommy Lee (Bucs)... 21PPG, 6.7 Ast (top in League), Top 10 in FGs Made, Top 10 in Points. (Former League MVP)...

Tommy has spoke of having just 1 more season before retiring maybe 2 if management can take a huge load off of him (Tim Duncan Like) Tommy does NOT want to be a 37-38 year old shell of himself. Thinking 36 would be last of his productive days in basketball.

1st-David Skandik (Rhino's Rage) should win it. Best player on the (my opinion) best team. Skandiks ratings are lower then they should be. When hes started at PG and SG his ratings have been 18.3 and 18.
2nd-Juliusz Lunkiewicz (Space von Jam) Solid second place. If SVJ could have gotten 1st in their conference it would have been tough to deny him MVP honors.
3rd-Harvey Davila (Scrap Heap Low Posters) good player, good stats, just his team is too well rounded for him to get the type of stats needed for MVP honors.

Crespo doesn't deserve to be in the MVP conversation. He was great in the early-mid season, at one point ranked first in points and assists, and in the top 10 rebounding. But he's had a rough second half and his production has dropped quite a bit.

Nobody mentioned Cory Newman, Top scorer of the league...given the losing record probably won't win, but I think he deserved to be named amongst this fine players.
He has a very high efficiency, despite the high volume he shoots
Thoughts?

I second Rdkin's list. As much as I would love for Juliusz to win, you can't deny the figures Skandik has been putting up this season.

Newman is unstoppable! He singlehandedly kept his team in the game and almost won it against me. I would get pissed everytime he shot because I knew he was going to make it. Reminds me of Bernard King. I think he should get some votes. But probably wont based on where the team is.
