Remember everybody Joshua Zitnik is only to referred to as JZ OK

Thanks for the insight Nelson.

In Józef Dekarz's (Delpra's SG) defense, they played motion which is generally going to leave the SG with many shots and he played 47 minutes against a guy who's sole reason for being on the court is his defense. Lets face it, Alexis Perpiñan is no offensive threat but the guy has Tremendous OD; thats going to cause a low percentage and the loss isnt entirely his fault. Ning Hanxian was hitting beyond the arc and shooting almost 44%; he should have been more assertive and went out and taken the win for his team.

I really love how active this league is in the league forums. It's great! Also the predictions before the games are great along with the "Studs and Duds". Keep it up!

The team in total had 10 assists, the player in question took twic as many shots, that is not a correct motion offense, so what that tells me is that they struggle moving the ball and getting good shots which is reasonable judging by E.B.W. perimeter defensive ratings. So at the end of the day we can go into a lot more reasons and even mention other players but i can only judge their most ineffective player, and even though he took the shots that nobody else did, still inefective .

But delpra will bounce back, they played the right tactics, just maybe instead of motion patient but the end result would have been the same its just not a good matchup for delpra or for anyone else at the moment in this league.

Harley Carroll is just having a few off games, he is clearly capable of a lot and therefore he clearly does not suck (Nelson is just jealous that Harley whooped him ;) ) well at least that was the excuse Harley Carroll gave me right before I attempted his murder yesterday.

The only real problem with Harley Carroll is his age. He's way past his prime but as the best player on the team he is forced to play too many minutes for a "senior citizen". As a result, his game shape suffers and expect his performances to continue at the sub-par level until "The Swiss Zit" (Joshua Zitnik) can step up enough to carry the team OR, and probably more likely, the Closet Men can scrape together enough cash to bring in a younger player(s) with talent, potential to get better rather than worse with time, and the desire to play basketball in the post season rather than look forward to picking up old ladies at the shuffleboard games at the local assisted living quarters.

Alright yes Beviere and carrol are old but I did get a new carreer extension trainer so hopefully that will help a little. I said only to refer to him as Jay-Z (Joshua zitnik). I need money I was stupid and the salaries of Carroll and Beviere are killing me. Also I added a new power forward to my roster who will hopefully be a better rebounder and defensive player than Terrence Dowdy.

No offense Asian Invasion. I was being sarcastic but it did lead me to wonder so I’ve done some quick calculations about average age in our league. (Note: Villains omitted from following statistics as manager inactive over 1 month and therefore I don’t acknowledge the teams existence.)

Average age in Big 8 Conference: 24.84
Hate: 23.08
M12: 23.27
Storm: 24.22
Closet Men: 24.85
Shipbuilders: 25.00
KK: 25.25
Bastards: 26.12
No Love: 26.90

Average age in Great 8: 25.09
Miu: 23.23
Tsunami: 23.30
Dawgs: 24.67
Hunterz: 25.09
Ballers: 25.86
EBW: 26.15
Delpra: 27.36

Team Hate boasts the youngest roster in the league while Delpra lays claim to the oldest roster in the league. Orlando Magic Ballers manage to suit up the oldest player (Morgan Saget) in the league at 37 years of age while, with no ATG potential players in the league, the Hunterz hold contract to the player (Jairo Ramirez) with the highest ceiling. (This is biased of course, but I based it on 18yo so has the most time to develop and no players with higher potential) Of course age means nothing and it’s the production on the court that matters but some interesting tid-bits of information nevertheless.

Following the hunterz informative report, i've taken it upon myself to add some team stats per conference

In the big 8:

FG % : Team hate 50%
springfield storm 47%
kole crushers 46%
no love at all 45%
sneaky bastards 44%
majestic 12 44%
closet man 39%
maine shipbuilders 38%

pts per game: team hate at 124 pts per game
springfield storm 99 pts per game
majestic 12 97 pts per game
no love at all 95 pts per game
sneaky bastards 94 pts per game
cole krushers at 93 pts per game
maine shipbuilders at 88 pts per game
closet man at 81 pts per game

pts allowed per game: closet man allowing 110 pts per game
no love at all 104 pts per game
team hate allwoing 103 pts per game
maine shipbuilders allowing 100 pts per game
majestic 12 allowing 96 pts per game
sneaky bastards allowing 94 pts per game
kole crushers allowing 84 pts per game
springfield storm allowing 79 pts per game


Judging from these stats once again springfield storm is the best team in the division, followed closely by team hate. but there is still lots of games to be played

In the great 8 :

fg%: orlando magic ballers 46%
EBW 45%
delpra 43%
seattle tsunami 42%
big dawgs 41%
MIU & Co 40%
hunterz 37%

pts scored per game: seattle tsunami 97 pts per game
delpra 94 pts per game
EBW 93 pts per game
MIU & Co 91 pts per game
orlando magic ballers 91 pts per game
big dawgs 88 pts per game
hunterz 82 pts per game

pts allowed per game: MIU & Co allowing 93 pts per game
orlando magic ballers 92 pts per game
delpra 90 pts per game
big dawgs 89 pts per game
seattle tsunami 89 pts per game
EBW 69 pts per game allowed

So clearly EBW is the leader of the pack as far as stats combined, whats very interesting is the hunterz being so low in numbers, i know they threw a game earlier but it will be interesting to see how their numbers look further up in the season compared to other top teams

Great Stats. Keep it up.

Hunterz Points allowed per game is 84 (2nd best in conference) and if you do not factor in the 1st game that we threw it actually falls to 72. Also our own team's points per game minus that first game jumps to 89. That leaves a 17 point differential when factoring out that first game rather than the -2 the current stats show. In summation, that first game massively skews our stats. Plus, we are still not playing our best lineup regularly. I agree, very interested to see how it changes later in the season.
