No mention of me...tears. (U) :`( :`-(

Sorry about that, bro. Most of the drama is in the bottom of the brackets. It's pretty much a given you're in the post.

If you handle Big Big then you move up to #2, possibly putting Delroy in the position to face back-to-back against the streaking ATL. In any scenario, it's pretty much you against Big Big, only uncertain is who has HCA.

Though going too hard for HCA could lead to an injury leaving you vulnerable in the first round. I was planning on doing a writeup once the seeding is locked.

with the schedule i have left, pretty much checking out until next season. this season was alot of fun though.

Predicted rankings for each conference:

Big 8
#1 Delroy Wolfpack
#2 Big Big Gulps
#3 Boots and Boys
#4 Atlanta Thunder
#5 Rat Brigade
#6 Dream Team3
#7 B.I.GBallers
#8 Billings Blue Sox

The #2 spot goes to Big Big Gulps because of PD, and the Atlanta Thunder take the final playoff spot as they limit the damage against Delroy and put up more points on Dream Team3 than will Rat Brigade. Dream Team3 will have HCA against the reeling B.I.GBallers.

Great 8

#1 Bull Knights
#2 IXLOS Sabers
#3 NEW WORLD ORDER
#4 Arkansas Kings
#5 Get Every Dollar
#6 Ten Jaguars
#7 Kansas PHOG
#8 Bedroom Ballers

Bull Knights gets HCA advantage because of PD, and IXLOS Sabers will take on NEW WORLD ORDER in the first round. Kansas PHOG drops 2 straight to finish the season as Arkansas Kings get the final spot due to PD with Get every dollar, with each team splitting their last two games. Ten Jaguars makes a last second surge, winning both of their last games to take HCA in the relegation series.

Well healthy and ready to go for the playoffs, we'll see how this plays out. Should be interesting. Good luck to everyone.

I seriously considered an addition to help with the playoffs...decided to stack some money instead. I'll get you next year.

Welp, early morning scrim where i missed getting out my starters and ofc my SF goes down. Time for plan B.

Good game, your squad put up a good fight! it definitely took alot out of my starters (not sure why coach did such a poor job managing minutes). Hopefully that was the last time i played you in D.IV, and good luck next season! keep training those bigs and you'll be the favorite next season.

Ok so its a little late but here are my MVP predictions this season. As ive done in the past i will base my predictions off of key stats which i will list, as well as team success and minutes played.The results should be revealed sometime this week so keep an eye out! its always a great honor to have the best player in the league on your team.

#1 Al Driscoll - DEL
Al Driscoll has been the driving force and highest scoring player on the best team in the Big 8, leading his team to the championship game.
PPG: 20.3(13th), REB: 13.8(3rd), APG: 3.7(32nd), AST/TO: 2.64(27th), Rating: 11.4(13th), FG%: 55.9(2nd), OR: 3.8(2nd), STL: 0.8(>50th), BLK: 1.5(18th), AVERAGE EFFICIENCY: 31.4(2nd), Total points: 447(11th)

#2 Mustapha Hajri - BUL
Last years MVP has had a lighter load this season, only playing in 18 games, but has still had an excellent season, including shooting a ridiculous 53.3% from 3-point range. How he does in the finals will have huge implications on how he does in the MVP race.
PPG: 21.1(10th), REB: 5.2(>50th), APG: 5.1(7th), AST/TO: 3.92(11th), Rating: 14.1(3rd), FG%: 53.8(7th), OR: 0.9(>50th), STL: 1.7(12th), BLK: 0.6(>50th), Average Efficiency: 24.3(9th), Total Points: 380(19th)

#3 Tom Nixon - BIG
Tom Nixon lead the Big Big Gulps in scoring, due in large part to his great shooting percentage, as he is only 1 of 2 PG to be in the Top 20 in FG%.
PPG: 28.2(2nd), REB: 5.2(49th), APG: 4.8(11th), AST/TO: 4.0(10th), Rating: 12.2(6th), FG%: 50.8(20th), OR: 1.1(>50th), STL: 1.5(21st), BLK: 0.8(50th), Average Efficiency: 26.9(4th), Total Points: 479(7th)

#4 Rastislav Budzinák - DRE
Once again, Budzinák, has had the best individual season, as indicated by the stats below, and if he were on a playoff team, the MVP race would not even be close. But last year he came in 4th in MVP voting, so maybe he can improve this season.
PPG: 26.5(3rd), REB: 2.8(>50th), APG: 7.8(2nd), AST/TO: 5.2(6th), Rating: 14.2(2nd), FG%: 49.0(>20th), OR: 0.6(>50th), STL: 1.5(18th), BLK: 0.5(>50th), Average Efficiency: 26.0(5th), Total Points: 582(1st)

#5 Görkem Ferzan - BIG
Ferzan was the most consistent player on one of the best teams in the league, never dropping below a 10 rating and averaging nearly 40 minutes a game, while never missing a game.
PPG: 25.0(4th), REB: 3.5(>50th), APG: 3.7(33th), AST/TO: 2.18(33th), Rating: 12.1(8th), FG%: 49.4(>20th), OR: 1.0(>50th), STL: 1.2(36th), BLK: 1.0(44th), Average Efficiency: 21.8(19th), Total Points: 550(3rd)

#6 Ervin Catajoy - DRE
The 2nd highest paid player in the league dominated DIV.10, leading the league in rebounds.
PPG: 18.3(18th), REB: 15.9(1st), APG: 0.6(>50th), AST/TO: 0.25(>50th), Rating: 12.6(4th), FG%: 53.8(5th), OR: 4.5(1st), STL: 0.3(>50th), BLK: 2.3(2nd), Average Efficiency: 27.2(3rd), Total Points: 403(13th)

#7 Martin Štefanák - IXL
Two back to back all-star appearances show that this player is one of the best of his position, and doesnt show any signs of slowing down in the next couple of seasons.
PPG: 18.8(17th), REB: 4.0(>50th), APG: 3.0(45th), AST/TO: 2.14(34th), Rating: 12.6(5th), FG%: 45.9(>20th), OR: 0.9(>50th), STL: 1.3(26th), BLK: 0.8(tied for 50th), Average Efficiency: -(>20th), Total Points: 395(17th)

#8 Gregory Tibubos - ARK
The highest scoring player in the league, Tibubos went on a tear after the All-Star break, averaging over 40 ppg since then.
PPG: 34.4(1st), REB: 3.1(>50th), APG: 2.6(>50th), AST/TO: 1.86(42nd), Rating: 10.8(16th), FG%: 46.0(>20th), OR: 1.0(>50th), STL: 1.8(10th), BLK: 0.3(>50th), Average Efficiency: 23.5(12th), Total Points: 722(1st)

#9 Emmanouil Orfanoudakis - BIG
Even though his team was terrible this year, Orfanoudakis was stellar, being the only player to be in the top 10 of both PPGand REB.
PPG: 23.5(6th), REB: 14.5(2nd), APG: 3.5(38th), AST/TO: 1.75(46th), Rating: 8.7(43rd), FG%: 51.3(16th), OR: 3.6(3rd), STL: 0.6(>50th), BLK: 2.0(5th), Average Efficiency: 32.3(1st), Total Points: 517(5th)

Great game, Rag. Glad to get your dusty starters to wake up just in time for the finals XD Good luck on the MVP race.

Quick tidbit: No MVP has been selected from a non-finals team since Guban won it in S24. Additionally, none of the 19 seasons of the IV.10's existence has produced an MVP from a team that missed the post season. Not saying it's impossible, but your #4, #6, and #9 picks are long shots at best.


Best of luck to DELROY & B-Knights. Should be a great series.

I agree. I think its between Driscoll and Hajri. But with the way Hajri is player in the finals right now, his chances are going down.
Nixon also has a real chance. When you take into account all of his stats, he had the best season by far. the only thing hurting him is that he is not playing in the Championship game and he only played in 17 games. Had Big Big Gulps won, I think he would be the consensus favorite.
Budzinák is interesting because he is a great player, as indicated by his stats, but he will never win it as long as his team is out of the playoffs. Once again, had his team gotten out of the first round, It would be his to lose.
