Melbourne Goldfish vs. Chumunga 91 - 57 (36141709)
The Fishy destroyed the Chumunga in another walkerover-liked game. Chumunga, in tanking mode, fielded scrubs and Sultan to entertain the crowd but there was no crowd on the night just the cleaners and water boys.

3 votes - Xie Guanzheng - MG
Even tho the game was over by 2nd half, Xie insisted to stay on for 48 minutes to make sure he gets his 3 MVP votes. Xie score 30 points in 48 minutes against scrubs and grabbed 7 rebounds.
2 votes - Radosław Rymer - MG
Xie faithful sidekick deserves 2 votes for being more efficient than sultan on the court. He scored 18 points in 25 minutes with a 6-12 fg.
1 vote - Selçuk Sultan - Ch
Sultan had to put in more effort because the scrubs couldn't provide any assist. He was the most productive player in his team scoring 20 points in 48 minutes, 9-19 fg, 19 rbs and 3 blks. This probably deserve 2 mvp points but one thing let him down is his defense. During Sultan's 48 minutes on the court, his matchup scored 13 points with a 6-11 fg.

Western Titans vs. Glenelg Tigers 88 - 74 (36141712)
This is probably the best match of the night, both teams performed their best to fight for ladder position. I am quite surprised to see another team with similar game ratings to mine, Glenelg Tigers are well balanced in defense and overpowering inside offense. The Titans demonstrated a very impressive outside scoring but in the end it was their inside defense that led them to their defeat.

3 votes - Fan Chung Ling - GT
The 25 yo chinaman used his kungfu to scored 26 pts with 12-22 fg, grabbed 10 rebounds in 35 minutes against his opponent. very deserving of 3 mvp votes.
2 votes - Pablo Lobato - WT
Pablo, the artist is well deserved of 2 votes for his effort in providing 9 assists even against the opponent tough defense. He also lead his team in scoring with 20 pts.
1 vote - Bernabé da Gudiña - GT
Glenelg Tigers' second tower scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.

Slam ! vs. Chelsea Seagulls 59 - 88 (36141710)
What's going on here? another tanker? walkover-liked game? No, just Seagulls showing no mercy against the SLam! and their short roster. Slam! probably been struggling with minutes and game shapes after losing their best Center to a horrific injury, a slight pinky finger dislocation. The Slam! will continue to struggle for another 3 weeks before their center come back from rehab.

3 votes - Garth Larbi - CS
The Seagulls rubbed salt into the wound by playing a look inside offense. Slam! without their main Center to hold up the inside defense and let Garth and Sherwin to wreck havoc. 3 votes go to Garth for a better defensive effort, with 23 rb, 5 stls and 2 blk and 24 pts.
2 votes - Jared Sherwin- CS
Not his best performance but he still managed 20pts, 14rb and 2blks.
1 vote - Paolo Paranaense - S!
While Maximiliano (Maximus) Gamboa is sidelined, Paolo has taken over the leadership role and tried to save his team from a disgraceful defeat. On the night, he scored 19pts, grabbed 8 rb.




Done! YES!!!!

Ok here is round 8's MVP's

Round 8 Part 1

Slam ! vs. Melbourne Goldfish 115 - 103 (36141715)

To start off the round in the East we had a mid table tussle between Slam and the Melbourne Goldfish. This game was a cracker and went down to the last quarter with Slam's push the ball triumphing over fishy's R&G when it come to the crunch.

3. A. Ascariz (Slam) - Ascariz was the dominant force of the game for Slam, wheeling and dealing his way to a tremendous stat line. He had 36 points on 14-25, 23 rebounds, 4 assists a block and a steal.

2. X. Guanzheng (Melb Goldfish) - Xie couldnt get the 3 this round but is rewarded for his effort of carrying the Goldfish to a 2 point 3q time lead before they got mauled in the last...Xie had 35 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

1. P. Paranaense (Slam) - The big brazilian joined his MVP teammate in abusing fishy inside and is to be rewarded with the 1 vote. He hit 27 points with 15 rebounds and 4 blocks.



Northcote Slammers vs. JW City Bulls 99 - 110 (36141720)

The next game of the round proved to be another sensationally even matchup of teams from the easts midtable again. JW's Bulls took the cake however in a PTB battle with his better defence, rebounding and offensive flow proving telling down the stretch.

3. L. Wai Yuen (JW City Bulls) - Wai Yuen, the versatile taiwanese SF proven a handful for the Slammers and takes the top votes out of this game. He had 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

2. P. Masetti (Northcote Slammers) - One of my favourite perennial votegetters Masetti put together a fabulous game but it was all in vain in the last quarter when the Slammers went missing. He had his usual efficient night with 28 points, 10 rebs and 3 assists.

1. Ü. Egeli (JW City Bulls) - The Bulls centre rounds out the voting with an efficient display of 14 points and 18 rebs against the Slammers bigs.



Da Fat Boy Slim vs. Haggards 110 - 102 (36141718)

Another game in the East in round 8, another close result! This time we had 2 teams with a mathematical shot of making the top 2 squaring off. Haggards favoured his more outside influenced motion offence whilst DFBS was looking all inside. Once again it looks like better defence won the day down the stretch with DFBS getting up.

3. H. Degao (DFBS) - What a PG DFBS has on its books here! Degao was all over the place in this game as shown in his stat line of 28 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds whilst also having 1 steal and 1 block.

2. L. Phillips (Haggards) - Phillips was the most efficient of the Haggard scorers and takes the 2 votes for his efforts. He had 25 points, 2 rebs, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. And what do u know 2 MVP votes haha.

1. N. Costache (DFBS) - Costache was too big and too strong inside for DFBS. He posted stats of 19 points, 2 rebs and 3 assists in only 20mins of courtime.

Round 8 Part 2


CROCKERS vs. Chumunga 63 - 61 (36141716)

The next game of the round was a battle of the 2 tankers from the Guppies, Crockers and Chumunga. In a scrappy affair the Crockers boys took the win and basically handed the Chumungans the East wooden spoon for the season. Booooo

3. M. Javadov (CROCKERS) - Javadov takes the 3 votes this game over his more highly publicised teammate McPhail thanks to McPhail's atrocious shooting efficiency. Javadov was effective for his 17 points and 11 rebounds and takes max votes.

2. S. Sultan (Chumunga) - The Sultanator takes the 2 votes as he was the star for Chumunga in the close losing effort. He had a double double of 16 points and 22 rebs...

1. R. McPhail (CROCKERS) - And finally McPhail takes the 1 vote with a game high score but it wasnt efficient enough for top votes. He had 28 points and 8 rebs for the game.



Billy Hoyles Boys vs. Glenelg Tigers 81 - 83 (36141719)

This game was another cracker and possibly a preview of the East finals. Glenelg came into the game basically needing to win to stay in the hunt and they fell over the line by 2 points after leading by 11 at 3q time.

3. F. Chung Ling (Glenelg Tigers) - Chung Ling was the dominating force inside for the Tigers hitting a game high 24 points and 13 rebs. He shot a fantastic 12-21 against an ABBL team which is impressive.

2. M. Edwards (Billy Hoyles Boys) - Edwards beat out the Burgerman for the 2 votes once agin because he was more efficient and had a great all round game. He posted 21 points, 6 rebs and 5 assists for the match but it wasnt enough for the win.

1. M. Bergman (Billy Hoyles Boys) - And Bergmann takes the 1 vote from the game with his 23 points, 8 assists and 4 rebs for the game.


Western Titans vs. Chelsea Seagulls 89 - 91 (36141717)

And last on the menu for the round was a high profile matchup between the Seagulls and the Titans. This was a must win for the Seagulls to keep momentum going in the battle for the top 2! In the end they withstood the late charge from the titans and replace BHB as top of the table with 3 rounds to go.

3. O. Ðuričko (Chelsea Seagulls) - The duck man takes max votes in this game for his tireless efforts at SG. Duricko had 33 points, 6 rebs, 1 assist, 1 steal and a block for the game.

2. U. Samdup (Western Titans) - Samdup won the battle of the centres in this game hitting 23 points, collecting 16 boards, 2 steals and 4 blocks. But it wasnt enough on the day...

1. J. Sherwin (Chelsea Seagulls) - The Gulls also collect the 1 vote with Sherwin losing his C battle but winning the war with his team. He still posted a respectable 15 points and 16 boards before fouling out after 44mins.

Well since the last update things have gotten a whole lot more interesting in the MVP race. Suddenly all we seem to be seeing every week is Fan, Fan, Fan. The Glenelg star has roared up the standings to now hold equal top spot with former favourite Kye Duffill. In third making a lot of noice - to quote from Serena Williams, "You're a hater, and you're just unattractive inside," is Xie still stuffing the ball into the basket at a rate only matched by one man team McFail! Next we have three less well known players in Alejandro Ascariz (Slam !), Tome Salgueiro (Haggards) and the man some claim is the best player in the league Mikey Bergman (Billy Hoyles Boys). All of these players still have a statistical chance with three rounds and nine more points up for grabs but the reality is Duffill and Fan just need one more good game each to slip no lower than second. Three weeks to go and I am hoping I can get someone into the top 10 so I have a chance to win free supporter from myself!

Round 9
Part 1

Melbourne Goldfish 98 - 73 CROCKERS 98 - 73

The Goldfish as expected were far too strong in this one winning every quarter and running out comfortable winners. Once again we have a game where 1 teams has the top scorer but gets smashed......lets see how the votes panned out this time.

3 votes Aliecer Hernando de Soro MEG 28pts 19 reb

The top scorer and leading rebounder for the fish gets the 3 in this game.......he's also for sale and can be yours with an opening bid of 700k. He was incredibly efficient when not jacking up 3's and did a solid job defensively.

2 votes Rod McPhail 39pts 4ass 3reb

The Irish international was great in this game knocking down 39 points and a tad under 50% shooting. I couldn't justify giving him the 3 as Hernado was so good but he was clearly Crockers best and did well enough to get 2 votes

1 Vote Xie Guanzheng 28pts 8 ass 5 reb

The 7 time all star had a great night on the scoreboard but took way too many shots to get there. he was able to distribute the ball well and also chip in with a few rebs but 10-29 effort from the floor meant only 1 vote.

Just the one game to kick things off tonight - will get the rest done over the next 24 hours

grumble grumble grumble

Did a couple of games here earlier tonight but i mustn't have hit save before i ducked off to play bball myself so i will cover the votes in those games briefly with out the write up (apologies to the managers involved especially if you were looking forward to my literary wit)

Da Fat Boy Slim 113 - 61 Chumunga

3 votes - Kye Duffill FBS
2 votes - He Degao FBS
1 vote - Salvatore Mariotti FBS

Northcote Slammers 118 - 137 Haggards

3 votes - Anthony Cima
2 Votes - Tomé Salgueiro

the above 2 might seem contentions but as i explained in the missing post it is due to the standard of player they were up against(which i am aware of as i am mates with Greeno and thus know about most of his roster) respectively even though it was a close call.

1 vote - Pier Giorgio Masetti.


I'll now do another game or 2 in full and finish off tomorrow

JW City Bulls 85 - 98 Glenelg Tigers

Glenelg dominated this game early before a late charge from JW's. It wasn't enough however as the Tigers ran out comfortable 13 point winners. Interestingly we saw the reappearance of the 2-3 zone......something that amazes me as i think it is terribly ineffective (and i've played it with Legendary & prodigious OD guys manning the guard spots and a SF with high ID). It's been a hot topic in the Fishbowl forums recently and once again it was a defence used by a losing team.

3 Votes - Joona Komsi 24pts 9 ass 5 reb

The Finnish Freak was outstanding in running the point for Glenelg. He not only top scored for his team but also had 9 assists, 0 turnovers and shot at a decent clip. Great to see a PG earning the 3 votes.

2 Votes - Bernabé da Gudiña 22pts 7 reb

I would have liked to see a few more boards from the big Spaniard (it almost cost him a vote) but in the end the fact that he topped the +/- and shot an impresive 10-16 was enough to get him the 2.

1 vote - Ðuro Cvoro 16 points 17 reb +6

This may come as a bit of a surprise but Cvoro was a beast on the boards did a decent job of keeping his man quiet and in the end got the vote because his Trekkie teammate Joel Vulcan shot a terrible 13-33.

Western Titans 95 - 83 Slam !

A cracking contest in this one that saw the Titans pull away in the last 1/4 and win by 12 after the margin was only 2 points at the last change. In a somewhat unusual twist the 3 vote getter from this game is a member of a losing team.

3 Votes - Ciro Bertocco 35pts 10reb 6 ass

A fantastic all around performance in a losing side. Note only were the base states good but Ciro also kept his man very quiet (2-11) but he shot the ball well himself nailing 14 of his 33 attempts. if his 3 point shooting had of been a little more accurate it would have been a inning effort from him.

2 Votes - Uditi Samdup 18pts 15reb 3 ass

Slammin Samdup was great on the boards, efficient from the floor and helped keep his opponent to just 25% shooting. He's been a prolific vote winner this season with 10 this season and his good form continued this week.

1 Vote - Pablo Lobato 15pts 10ass 5 reb

A rock solid game from the Titans PG saw him edge out their leading scorer for the final vote. In the end he put up better numbers against better opposition and that got him the vote.
