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.

There is one hurdle left an that is the Bollingbrook Tigers. If we both clear that it will be the point diff who decides the #1 seed.

As the playoffs loom players are keeping their mouth sealed. What was orginially thought to be a 2 team point differential race, has now turned into the Lakers vs. the Tigers. If the Lakers can win on Saturday then they will most likely clinch the division, if not, the Coal Miners still have a chance. This is a big week for the Great 8. In the Big 8, the Ballkillers try to hang on for the 4th playoff spot.


1. (1) Cincinnati Lakers

Once again I’m forced to put the Lakers alone in the number 1 spot. They almost fell into the trap game of daquan, they came off flat and could have been upset if not for a better second half effort. They managed to play a lot better against the bubble blowers, winning by 53 points. Gdirmir Portada led the team with 23 points. They’re going to need a great effort from him on Saturday against Bollingbrook.

2. (2) Coal Miners

The Miners barely stay on to the number two spot. The 1 point loss to the Tigers isn’t an awful loss, but they had the win in their hands. They let it slip away, blowing a 7 point fourth quarter lead. That may just cost them the division. The Miners will be able to take some anger out this week as they play Jet Life and the bubble blowers.

3.(3) Tenn Stallions

The Stallions continue to take care of business. They racked up two easy wins including a 55 point win over the Miami Snakes that clinched them the Big 8 regular season title. Stephen Yates struggled in this game but Murray Riddle came through scoring 19 points in the win.

4.(4) Bollingbrook Tigers

The Bollingbrook Tigers made everyone realize that they did play for the league championship just 2 seasons ago last week. They impressed in the fourth quarter, coming back from 8 down to beat the Miners. They have to be happy that Yu Yufa managed to produce 29 points while Fredericus Goetzke chipped in 23 points.

5.(6) Jet Life
No matter what happens this season, I really hope to see Jet Life continue to compete in the league. I can easily see them compete next year for a championship. They’ve won 6 straight since going under new management including a great win over WWIAFTM. They might finish 6 this year, but they’ve proved already that they can compete with some of the best in V. 41.

6.(5) WWIAFTM

WWIAFTM had a disappointing week. They had two chances to not only make a statement but move into the four spot in the Great 8. They promptly followed that up by getting blown out by Bollingbrook and losing by 15 to Jet Life.

7.(7) kalamazoo hurricanes

kalamazoo continues to be mediocre in the a mediocre division. They lost to 6-12 Ballkillers by 2 and really haven’t been all the impressive.

8.(8) macintosh

macintosh has faced so many bumps in the road but I think in two seasons, they’ll be good. They beat daquan by 22 on Saturday but came up flat against the Coal Miners, getting blown out by them.

Game of the Week: Cincinnati Lakers @ Bollingbrook Tigers

This could be one of the top 10 matches in V. 41 history. The Lakers beat the Tigers by a lot last time they played, but Yu Yufa has been on fire recently, and the Tigers are coming off a huge home win against the Coal Miners. If the Lakers can win they have a clear path to the Great 8 #1 seed.

NO HARM INTENDED TO ANYONE. SUBJECT MATTER NOT FOR THE PROPOSE OF JUDGING OR DISCRIMINATION. I know this is wrong but do you thing if I said my player was homosexual would people buy him. I only ask because I don't want to sell him. I had a football teammate that was bisexual and some guy didn't like him but wouldn't mess with him because he was the strongest guy on the team.(could swat 1k on a bar. Also didn't act like or sound like a sissy or girl.) If the Transfer Ad said:(assuming no one has bid on him before my first ad is done) First openly gay BB player.Will try to turnout your whole team. If you decide to buy him. Will this discourage people from buy my player.I just want to keep my player. I know this is horrible to say but it between this, Charlie Sheen, or Mel Gibson situation.

I would avoid that like the plague.

If the wrong person chooses to be offended, that could spell a lot of trouble. Plus, all publicity is good publicity. More views = more possible buyers. Just kick back and try to fly under the radar, or take the $$helm that come and save them till post-draft. Prices drop when the market floods due to the influx of new players?

Thanks that real helpful. I don't offend so I 'm won't advertise him good, or bad.
