Almost half way through the season and it's just heating up.The All-star break is in two week and we have already more posts then last year and it has been a great season. The second real game happens Saturday.

No arrogance intended. Just seems to be the case as of now.

Man I just noticed after Cin you have Macintosh the you have to run the rest of the guantlet

u know I believe you got the the toughest back to back. Stallions then Lakers. Now that a tough pill to swallow! I assure you though I'm not going normal or CT just to make your team weak against Lakers! TIE all the way. Gentlemen's honor

I'm honestly not sure my tactics for our game and the Coal Miners. Those are the only two games I haven't decided what I wanted to do yet, so much on those games to decide lol.

I have a plan for both of you. I hope it works for me in the long run. Then again I think i'm a tough match up because I can beat my opponents several ways. My team is very balanced from my starters to my back-ups. Barring injuries second half of the season will be fun. I think the playoff teams will be set by half way through the second half.

My only worry is Storey and Rosset although I won't play them in a game against one of you.
They have good secondary but are lacking on offense or defense.

On second hand I will reserve judgement.

Putting this up early again cause I can lol. We finally had a "real" matchup this week as the Stallions took on the Lakers. This one didn't dissapoint. The Lakers jumped out to a 6 point half time lead before the Stallions put up a great 3rd quarter to take a 2 point lead into the 4th. The Lakers managed to fight back though and win by 10 in a game that scared the bujeezes out of me. Meanwhile the Great 8 continues to dominate the Big 8 as the conference all star game approaches.

They said it: "When I came to America, I actually wanted to play against a team that looked liked professionals, I finally got to this week."

-----Jochen Oswald in response to facing off agains the Tenn. Stallions.

1. (1) Coal Miners

The best offense in V. 41 didn't dissapoint. They averaged 111 points in two games this week. They had solid contributions from everyone including an impressive 24 points from Will Hickey against lemoss. This week should be smooth sailing as they still have 2 weeks until they face the Stallions.

2. (2) Cincinnati Lakers

I don't know if one game can make a case for an MVP canidate but I think Jochen Oswald threw his name in. He led the Lakers in points against the Stallions and came up big when they needed him in the fourth quarter. The Lakers should now be able to rest until the Miners after surviving the scare from the Stallions.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions held up tough against the Lakers, unfortunately Saturday wasn't there day in this potiental finals matchup. Jaime Sena proved to be a big bright spot for the Stallions, scoring 23 points. They don't get much of a break though as they face off against Bollingbrook this week.

4.(4) Buffalo Wings

The Wings won't be here at this point next week more than likely. Baring a miracle this will be the last time we will see the Wings in V. 41. But they won out this week once again. They beat up on Big 8 bottomfeeders this last week.

5.(5) Bollingbrook Tigers

The Tigers get a new chance to prove themselves this Saturday. They play the Tenn. Stallions. Yu Yufa will get the chance to solidify his MVP considerations as he'll finally get some competition. Yufa dropped 25 as they easily beat vanilla ice-cream.

6.(8) WWIAFTM

Wacky jumps back up 2 spots this week after an impressive week in which they finally managed to get there point differental back to 0. They showed just how good they could be in the other conference as they beat the 3rd place Lighterz by 23.

7.(6) detroit lions

This could very well be the last time we could see the lions here too. Unlike the Wings though this team will go out one game removed from a 53 point shalacking from the Lakers. They did manage to beat macintosh though.

8. (NR) The Dolphins

The Dolphins manage to slip back into the top 8 after picking up two pretty impressive wins over the bottom third of the Great 8.


Game of the Week: LA Thunder @ boston celtics

Any time you have boston and LA playing each other it has to be a much watch especially this time as one team will be forced to finally win a game. Should be a good one.

Real Game of the Week: Bollingbrook Tigers @ Tenn. Stallions

This one will really be the best played game as the Stallions look to bounce back from the Laker loss. Jaime Sena vs. Yu Yufa could be a good matchup to watch and itll be an interesting gauge for both teams.

I knew it was over 3mins into the 4th quarter. Inside Iso wasn't my first choose I wanted to Motion or Patient but I thought 3-2 was going to be the defense used against us. The Tigers are not going to score over 50. I wanted to face the Wings they got me last season but I wanted pay back.

Lol i believe that, your defense is great I figured that playing man would trick you which is honestly the only reason I played it, I didn't think you'd expect it. But anyway gg, after that 3rd quarter I honestly thought you had me beat.

I'm surprised you ran an inside Iso against Cin. His team is one of the top 3 inside defensive teams in V.41

I figure that my inside offense can handle 2 man under the basket I did expect 3. I wanted to play Stan as the small forward but I want him to get train in a specific area so I did not put him in the starting line-up. Guadentas is my fall back for big but has played crappy recently. I guess that was a life and learn week.
