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.

DAMMITspringfield is my rival, wost team and arguably best team. RIVALS? i dont think so

I'll be out of town this weekend so I'll miss the games :-( Won't get a chance to view them until probably Monday but I figured I better buckle down and get my predictions posted before I go so here goes:

12-15-12 Games
No Love @ Closet Men:
Closet men have nobody to slow down Ambrose Kelley and Zoran Kolar is going to manhandle Harley Carroll. Sorry to say, but Carroll is going to have another performance in which he leaves a lot to be desired and No Love is going to look good from start to finish. Blowout win for No Love.

Villains @ Tsunami:
“General” McArthur and his villain squad suck! The Tsunami squad is going to look like the globetrotters in this one. Expect Tsunami to pound it in the post and light up the stat sheets. Looks like this week we’ll be graced with at least two blowout games. Sorry fans but this portion of the televised double-header isn’t going to be exciting. Tsunami wins with ease.

Miu @ Ballers:
This one is going to be interesting. Both teams are versatile and vary their tactics weekly depending on their opponent; what a chess match the planning is going to be for this game. Are these guys going to play mind games and try to out maneuver each other in tactics or simply play to their strengths and hope for the best? We’ll see. Match up to watch is Wade Osborn and Balandis Sprindis; going to be work on both ends of the court for both these guys. I’m expecting a super close game with a final differential of under 5. Extremely hard to pick the winner in this one but I’ll say Miu will cut the ever efficient Ballers shooting percentage just enough to squeeze out a win.

M12 @ Maine:
The Shipbuilders will be missing one of their more efficient players in Enrico Souza and that’s going to hurt them. M12 is much stronger on the perimeter and always play a motion offense resulting in the 4th best PPG rating in the league. The Shipbuilders, on the other hand, have one of the weaker defenses in the league and with a decent chunk of their offensive prowess on the bench (Referring to Souza) they will be hard pressed to win this. Simply put, M12 will score more and at the end of the game the scoreboard is what matters. M12 win by 15-20.

12-15-12 Games Continued

EBW @ Hunterz:
We all know EBW is the toughest defensive team in the league and so far the Hunterz haven’t proven the ability to run a lights out offense so EBW automatically gets the advantage in this one. Ander Ovando Ferrer is still out of the EBW lineup due to injury and that’s a heaven sent for the Hunterz. Terrell Looby of the Hunterz is going to have his hands full trying to, even partially, slow down Jedrzej Rozyc and frankly his beastly interior defense is going to make it a long night for the Hunterz. I expect a low scoring game and I actually think it will be quite close. Delpra almost pulled out an unexpected win, can the Hunterz? Advantage EBW but I cant bring myself to predict a loss at home. Hunterz somehow win by 2.

Delpra @ Big Dawgs:
Delpra is coming off a heart-breaking attempt to upset EBW. They were close and I look for them to come out strong and earn a victory to boost team morale. Delpra has a much stronger point man running their offense and simply a stronger core group of players. I think the Big Dawgs can hang pretty well and it wont be a blowout but Delpra will come out on top. Delpra by 13.

Hate @ Storm:
Team Hate likes to RnG and the Storm players like to approach each offense possession with patience and play sound fundamental basketball. Team Hate shoot nearly 50% from 3 point land thus far in the season but they are up against a pretty good perimeter defense in this one; the Storm hold their opponents to roughly 28% at that range. I think the Storm’s defense will be effective enough and they will corral more rebounds than Hate. Through defense and rebounding they will limit Hate’s number of possessions and 2nd chance points and that is going to result in a victory for Storm. Storm by 8-13.

Krushers @ Bastards:
With Rubio out and Grubb being a more offensive minded guard it’s going to be hard for the Bastards to stop the onslaught that is Kwok Siu Chung and the rest of the Krusher Squad. Bastards have an advantage in the post and will, no doubt, pound it in there repeatedly but I feel the Krushers will ultimately come out on top. Krushers by 13-18.

No Love @ Closet Men: No Love

Villains @ Tsunami: Tsunami

Miu @ Ballers: Miu

* I'm always the different one lol

lol wtf i am an idiot
someone told me i could do that

So its another segment of studs n Duds

duds: Its another game to showcase the garbageh, the scum of this league, im sorry if i hurt your feelings but honestly their play should hurt you more. This is the segment that showcase the ryan madsens, the shawn bradleys, the shaun livingstons of the world

at pg- once again in what is becoming his regular spot, the untouchable carroll from team close, carroll has been sucking for a few games now, and i think he is better than what he is showing, i mean how much worse can it get?? Carroll did a nice job defensively but his shooting let him down once again 33%... I suspect his mediocre gameshape has something to do with it

at sg- Its my honor to nominate my beast of a sg, if there was such a thing as a beating up your own players coach knight style i would.... oh how i would... N. Artuk shot a lowly, an ultimate dropout GPA of 0.6... jeeshh

at sf: A drogosis, my usual reliable greek standout happened to also suck, well when you score 66 pts what do you expect, it was another performance that really did not cut it, and won't cut it in this league. 30% and the fo/fo 4 turnovers and four fouls

at c & c: i was not able to find any pf's that were bad today but i found a couple of centers that were terrrrrrrific.... Starting for the hunterz and sucking for the hunterz M.brunt, the dude shot 25% only collected 7 rebounds in 48 minutes and allowed his opponent a game of 36 pts shooting 68%..... The other big man that played little was M. pitts of team hate 23% to be exact

honorary: a.pereza
