I agree. Goodluck everyone. I was to busy tonight to post a power rankings up. I'll get them up sometime tomorrow. Sorry about that lol

It looks like rolly has been busy too. Great job on latest update. It a update to me anyway because I didn't notice how close they got. Good luck to both of you and any other player look at these post. Also good luck to the Slammers who are in 2nd place and defeated the top team in V.35's Big 8. If he can manage to defeat the #1 seed in his conference he could move on to division 3. Congrats to the Slammers on a stellar season! Goodluck everyone!

Best of luck to you guys as well. Kinda sad to see what appears to be the end of the Tigers: they were the unstoppable juggernaut I feared first. The rest of the playoffs look to be a race to take on Murl's boys in the finals, oddly reminiscent of last season :)

It could be any of you three (Rolly, Random, and Murl) who moves on, and whoever is left behind wont be here long. Its gonna get awfully confusing keeping track of all of you :)

As for me, im definitely not ready for div3. Beating Judd was a surprise to me. I had HCA, but he had the better team and normal vs my TIE. I have no idea why I won. I'm certainly going to give the Dragons and Omaha my best, but I really don't intend to promote this season. Possibly next season, but I need some bigger firepower first.

If my team can hang like this, though, it bodes well for you guys very soon!

Good luck!

We've reached the final strech of the season. There are only 8 games left and after tonight, there will be just the 7 division games left in the season. This week only had one game in it, and a whole lot didn't change around the league, but this week could as The Coal Miners play both the Stallions and the Lakers in the same week.

"I felt like my skills were being disrespected so I did something extra. I feel like JMLC and I had chemistry out there. The whole team was in the zone this(2nd) quarter."

----Cristóbal Sacristan Roy, who scored 43 pts. on 21-30 attempts, expressed during the half as the Big 8's 5 game ASG winning streak was snapped.


1. (1) Coal Miners

Cristobal Sarcristian Roy continues to play like he's on another planet. In the all-star game, against the best of the best all he did was drop 43 points. He then led the Miners to a 65 point blowout of the kalamazoo hurricanes. He scored 25 points. If he wants to see the Miners win these two games, he's going to need performances like that.

2. (2) Cincinnati Lakers

The Lakers stay steadily at the 2 spot. They continue to just take care of business. JLMC asserted his authority as he won the three point contest during all-star weekned. Brought together as a team though, JLMC stuggled, but as they always do, the rest of the team stepped up and got a 41 point win. The rookie, Victor Manuel Carballido scored 15 points in the rout.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions face there second real test in a huge home game against the Coal Miners. They continued to beat up on the newbies of the Great 8 as they beat daquan by 42 points. The Stallions are going to need Stephen Yates to continue his hot shooting that he displayed in the all-star game.

4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers

The only thing that can really stop the Tigers at this point are themselves. Their really close to turning CPU at this point,f they don't they should to continue to be the same team that dominanted brickny by 58. The Tigers can easily compete in the Great 8 and finish top 3, but the second they go CPU and lose dominant players like Yu Yufa, the seasons lost.

5.(5) WWIAFTM

WWIAFTM has moved to just 1 game back of a playoff spot. With daquan sputtering, there slowly moving into the last playoff spot. They beat vanilla ice cream by 20 points which included a nice 28 point 23 rebound effort by Gerhard Lauterbch.

6.(7) Jet Life

Jet Life beat the last place boston celtics by 20 points. Pabo Canaves scored 17 points in the win. They continue to look like the best 5-9 team out there. They've now won two games with their new owner.

7.(6) kalamazoo hurricanes

Just like most of the Big 8, the hurricanes got dominated by the Coal Miners. They lost by 64 and looked bad but as a 9-5 team there securaly locked into the 2nd spot.

8.(NR) macintosh

The Dolphins finally went under. With most of the rest of the league either being under a new manager or a non active won I went with macintosh. They have the leading scorer in Barkus Komskis and could be a few moves away from being a threat in Great 8 playoff races.

Game of the Week: Coal Miners @ Tenn. Stallions

This is the one game of the year against both number one teams. The Stallions have just one loss, from the Cincinnati Lakers, while the Miners are undefeated. Who will look better, Stephen Yates or Cristobal Sacristian Roy and who will have the inside track to finals HCA in ths potiental finals matchup.

My team is turning into the Boston Celtics without a Rondo. We won both game last season on even terms but lose both this time. I'm not complaining but I hate to see a team waste a lead going into the 4th quarter then foul it's way into the ground. My Defense was tight. CSR was 16 and Coal Miners had a team effort. Good game.

J. Sena scores almost half your points against Cin. (23pts)
S. Yates scores almost half your points against Me. (31pts)

Your defense is great but it seems that in both these games you had no other scoring threat against either of us. I played a 3-2 zone to slow your Perimeter Offense since my inside is real strong. Cin played Man most likely because his players matched up better. A strong SF might be just the key you need.

All in all both games could have gone either way.

I like and I see.

A strong SF might be just the key you need.

I've been trying to build one this season but progress is slow.

J. Sena scores almost half your points against Cin. (23pts)
S. Yates scores almost half your points against Me. (31pts)

I don't know why they can't play offense together.
I believe you on how the outcome could go either way. Good luck to both of you. This game is going to be big.

The two biggest factors would be offensive tactic, and passing/handling vs driving attributes. Low offensive flow would indicate low passing, while high driving tends to create ballhog scenarios
Also, if you run fast paced offenses, they may not spread the ball enough for the best possible shot. Similarly, a slow pace with poor flow can lead to turnovers.

wow rolly amazing game played probably one of the closest ive ever been apart of amazing 4th quarter comeback for you guys and first ot, you had my team on the ropes. One's thing for sure our playoff game in the Great 8 Finals should be an instant classic as we've now had 2 ot games this year. Whoever represents our conference will be well deserving.

Judgement week has come and gone. Two games were played between the best three teams in the league and when the dust cleared we were left with no undefeated teams left. The Lakers now have the inside track in the Great 8 and the attention shifts from who wins to by how much.


1. (2) Cincinnati Lakers

As much as I hate to place my own team at the number one spot, I’m forced to at this point. They almost blew an 18 point 4th quarter lead against the Coal Miners but they held tough and eeked out a double overtime victory. As long as they don’t fall into a trap the rest of the year, this could be the number one team in the Great 8.

2. (1) Coal Miners

The Miners played 6 awful quarters this week and still managed to almost come out unscathed. They proved that they’ll always be a tough out. They should have a nice comeback game this week as they face off against macintosh. Even in defeat though Cristobal Sacristan Roy still managed to drop 34 points.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions should be a little upset after coming within minutes of knocking off the Miners before losing by 12. Still, they now know that they really can hang with anyone in V. 41. They managed to bounce back nice, with a 57 point win over the boston celtics, which brought back the all-around scoring approach were used to seeing.

4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers

The Tigers have recently checked in and now should be with us for the rest of the season. This is another team that could still make some noise in the Great 8. They play 5th place WWIAFTM on Tuesday in a game that has big playoff implications. They re-opened up divisional play with a crushing 76 point win. Yu Yufa continues to be unstoppable, scoring 31 points in this game and moving up to third in most points per game.

5.(5) WWIAFTM

WWIAFTM is now tied for the fourth playoff spot. This week they welcome the Bollingbrook Tigers to their home. A win would be great to justifying them, but a 16 point win over macintosh doesn’t hurt either. Gerhard Lauterbach continues to be a dominating force on the boards as he know averages 12.3 rebounds per game.

6.(6) Jet Life

Jet Life showed that their really not that far from competing in the Great 8 playoff race. They beat daquan by 20 points. Ade Tucker provided a bright spot, scoring 19 points in only 22 minutes.

7.(7) kalamazoo hurricanes

kalamazoo picked up a big win in securing a playoff spot in the Big 8. They beat 3rd place Lighterz by 12 and now sit 4 games up on third in the division.

8.(8) macintosh

macintosh barely stays in the top 8. Noone else has really shown anything special so I’ll still slide this team in. They put up a decent fight against WWIAFTM but will need to work even better to compete against the mad Coal Miners.

Game of the Week: Bollingbrook Tigers @ WWIAFTM

The Tigers sit one game ahead of WWIAFTM in the standings. They avoided becoming a CPU team and look to continue their dominance. Lautherbach and Matthew Jackson will be a must see rebounding matchup in this important game.
