So we have 4 play-in games, for 2 spots, with 2 more games on Friday, for the last 2 spots.

in the East, Orlando takes on Atlanta. I don't see the Magic losing, but if Trey, is on one, then maybe.

in the 9-10 game, the Heat take on the Bulls. I really hate betting against the Heat.

In the West. Memphis travels to San Fransico, to take on the Warriors. Not sure of Jimmy Buckets knee, he got hurt in the Overtime, on Sunday. The Grizz have been playing better the last couple of games. I think GS, plays 1 more game to get in.

Sacramento should light the beam, against the Mavs. But the Mavs do have more experience.

Anyone else have any thoughts, on the 1st 4 play-in games?

I'm just rooting for the cavs since they have my UVA boys, Ty Jerome and DeAndre Hunter!

Tuesday Night Shockers!

If the R3ap3rs aren't around After the Shock, is there an After Shock? Inquiring minds want to know. After shocking Leaque IV.32, the After Shock look to remain the lone undefeated team. Will the R3AP3RS, 1 man band of Nic "Red" Herring, be able to blemish the electrifying start of the After Shock?

After Shock by 17, o/u 233

The Boston Icers travel to Berlin, to sight see the wonderful, Lawnflamingos. Both teams, have had highs and lows, already in this young season. The Icers defeated the MKE Bucks, but fell to the Vatican Vipers. The Lawnflamingos, topped the Wahoo Warriors and lost to the Bandits from Buckner.

Berlin Lawnflamingos by 6, o/u 221

Good Luck tonight!

not a big NBA guy, but honestly the playoffs are only time I will watch... those guys are just sooo good when they are red-lineing and just going all out...

I dont have a preference who wins... My dad enjoys the celtics, so we will watch them... Mitchell from cle is a UofL kid so we will pull for him too.

Week 2 Power Rankings

1. After Shocks(4-0) New #1 defeated 500 Hackers, also the only remaining unbeaten team.

2. 500 Hackers (3-1) Tough loss to the After Shocks, should be smooth sailing til interdivison play.

3. Buckner Bandits (3-1) Top Great 8 team.

4. MKE Bucks (3-1) Will be a force, when Troy Head comes off of IR.

5. Vatican Vipers (3-1) 3-0 since opening day.

6. Berlin Lawnflamingos (3-1) Like VV, only lose to the Buckner Bandits.

7. Orlando Tragic (3-1) bagged the R3AP3RS.

8. R3AP3RS (2-2) from 2-0 to .500

9. Wahoo Warriors (1-3) Very tough schedule so far.

10. Boston Icers (2-2) Big win over the hurt MKE Bucks.


You guys are making this so hard to do.

Love these, but I think it will be VERY interesting to see how the Great 8 moves and grooves...

Personally, I still think I will be fighting for a 4th place finish. I think Wahoo Warriors will have a MASSIVE comeback and MKE Bucks, once healthy, will start to dominate.

Is a fun division for sure! :-)

ha I'm not even sure i'll make the playoffs at this rate! Yall flatter me but i'm still not taking it off TIE. You cant make me! Definitely a sneaky competitive league all around, should be interesting to see how it shakes out.

I think you have had either the hardest or second hardest starting games of the league.... It will all filter out I am sure.... TIE is totally the way! :-)

I agree with T-Lit, your schedule has been brutal. I mean shit, 2 road losses and a home loss, to a healthy MKE, by 3 points. Isn't nothing to be discourage by. Even though I'm sure your fan survey is shit right now. It'll get better. The Great 8 is fun division, its gonna make you a better manager, if you're willing to do a little work. In reality, I should probably have you up a few spots, but I have a feeling this top 10 is gonna be, like waves on the ocean, up and down all season.
