F#%* Paul Falconer out 2 weeks with a mild ankle sprain... I’m screwed if he’s not ready for playoffs

I'm choked. Officially, we're rivals and with the way the league turned out, this wasn't only going to be an awesome game, it was going to pit Falconer and Wagoner against each other in a conference deciding game at the end of the schedule. Let's hope they get to battle it out again soon.

Wow. On the bright side, it's a quick recovery I see. 1 day passed and it's now a 1 week injury, so he might make it for the playoffs

Yeah I am chocked as well... I was really looking forward to watching Paul vs Wagoner. Honestly this match up is the most interesting one in the league! Hopefully we play each other in semi's

But you're right, this would probably be the game of the year! The way you're one game behind and have home court advantage. this makes this game super interesting to bad Paul and Ernest will be out...

I will pray for that

The Falcon vs. The Wagon is the best guard match-up in the league by far!

Based on my calculations, the latest Paul will be back is Wednesday next week. Barring the standings remain the same and both you guys win your first round match-ups then we should see the two go head-to-head next Saturday (the 31st) in round 2.

What makes this tricky is the PD between your teams, your records and how Harlem finishes the season. So basically Chris, you need to tank the final regular season game against Red's Blackfish in order to keep the standings the same and lose by less the 3 points LOL(or more then likely have Blackfish pass you in PD and finish first if you're willing) or hope that Harlem loses to Pit Vipers (not likely) in the final game.

EDIT: Worst-case scenario would be to tanking the next game and losing by too much. If Harlem surpasses both you guys in PD (which is definitely possible vs. pit vipers) with the same record, then you would be matching-up in the first round and wouldn't have Falconer available vs. a stronger opponent then Harlem.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. A lot of strategy to finish the season.

Ben and I's game will also be interesting to see how the standings end up in the Great 8. Wow what a great season it has been in II.4!

Anyone have any guesses who will be MVP this year?

I think it will probably be Falconer (21ppg, 2rpg, 4ast, 1stl, 50%fg, 43%3fg, 16rtg) because game rating is weighed quite heavily in the voting it seems. A few runners up will be Lech Sowik from Harlem (23ppg, 16rpg, 1blk, 1stl, 56fg%, 14 rtg), Rudolf Jakobitch from my team (14ppg, 13rpg, 3ast,1blk, 2stl, 52fg%, 16rtg), Wagoner from Blackfish (30ppg, 4rpg, 4ast, 2stl, 1blk, 50%fg, 39%3fg, 14rtg) and Amat from my team (20ppg, 4rpg, 6ast, 2stl, 1blk, 41%fg, 14.5rtg).

Any other guesses?

Personally, my money has to be on Falconer or Sowik. From your aggregate postings each week, it looks like Falconer has been the most consistant in terms of overall rating. You cant count Sowik out when factoring in overall performance and I would like to see how his win shares compare to other stars in the league. I know big scoring nights help allstar voting and Wagoner shoots an awesome percantage but I dont think the team beat enough top tier talent to warrant an MVP this season. Amat's assists are probably overlooked for the most part, there are not many players capable of running an offense in this league so he holds the dark horse spot in my books.

As an aside, Manuelyan only had one 50+ point game this season, Hoshino kind of fell off a bit and Sock bears is an MVP candidate away from an undefeated season.

Pretty sure Socks' Vid Laca will be an MVP at some point when his training is complete.
