Fishbowl North Week Four MVPs

Brisbane Thunder vs. Geelong Vipers 69 - 80 At Maggot Arena.

This is the first game that the FannyPack will award MVP votes for so let's hope no one challenges and makes me look bad!


Thunder led by big man small man Faka came up against THE GLORIOUS Guppy team Vipers. This would have been a no brainer to pick the winner but the fans wanted to see Faka get slapped around. The pitiful Thunder led by lil baby Faka came up short after exploding out early on. They CAME out firin' in the first but kept thinking of sweet sweet KFC and got side tracked and slipped from there. The Vipers went about their business as if it was a training drill.

3 François Cartier Geelong Vipers 19 PTS 14 REB 4 AST 4 STL. Bossed his way to be the main man in this game and takes away the 3 points after teaching those Brisbane noobs who is the boss around here. Even kept that over rated Anfu to some pitiful shooting at 3-11.

2 Stuey Faka’osifolau Brisbane Thunder 21 PTS 2 REB 5 AST 4 STL. Faka only JUST gets the 2 points here because they need some pity points plus Semoni wasn't quite good enough. Still did OK for a noob but won't get away with it again.

1 Louie Humphrey Geelong Vipers 22 PTS 3 REB 2 AST. This lil American chap scurries away with his 1 golden point because everyone else played like poop! His 2 TOs certainly did bring his game down but the next best had 6 TOs so I guess he can take the points home. Semoni was also unlucky to get this point but it was a tough choice so deal with it.


Maggots vs. Quinn Kings 83-103 At Viper Dome.
Aaah oh you Maggots, how far you have fallen, you really need to step it up if you want to win again Losing to the Kings certainly doesn't help your case to earn you a div2 spot again. With only 1 outstanding performer on the team you would hope the Maggots cater for his 'special' needs so he doesn't leave. The King's had 3 great players on the night which got them over the line. Kings only had a few goal lead at HT which would have been disappointing for them and that would have made the coach fire up during the break. The Kings ended up smacking the dirty Maggots by gaining 13 points on them in the last quarter to seal the game. Siffredi unlucky to get some points but in any other game he would have grabbed at least 1.

3 Danielius Speicys Quinn Kings 32 PTS 10 REB 4 AST 1 STL. Probably didn't have the best numbers compared with Brakenhoff but his spirit got his team the win so he earns the 3 points for his heroic efforts after squashing the dirty earth beasts.

2 Christian Brakenhoff Maggots 47 PTS 6 REB 4 AST 1 STL 2 BLK. This was probably one of the most bravest efforts ever committed by a losing team. Racked up a huge number of points but didn't get enough for a win. Should go down in the record books for 'most bravest player'.

1 Pablo Ramírez Quinn Kings 29 PTS 20 REB 1 STL 1 BLK. Very good inside offensive stats from Pablo with great defensive efforts too keeping Pavón to 3-12 FG.

Viral Infections vs. Warren Bulls 133 - 72 At Blue Piggy Bank.
Have you ever just said Warren to amuse yourself? Warren,Warren......Warren. Very fascinating after you repeat it a few times. Team AWESOME WARREN BULLS vs DAY TRADING MARKETERS wasn't as close as us Guppies would have liked it. After Naker served up some of his players hips, teeth and walking frames, the Bulls will have to go back to the drawing board if they want another win. How did Naker's players manage to score 39 points in the final quarter? Wouldn't they need a ventilator or something by then? No one will know how Naker does it...maybe magnets?

3 Sidónio Conceição Viral Infections 43 PTS 7 REB 7 AST 3 STL 1 BLK. Easily the best player out there on the night.

2 Yuri Abruzzese Viral Infections 30 PTS 4 REB 6 AST 2 STL. Easily gets this vote just for his name alone. ABRUZZESEEEEEE!!!!

1 - César Serre Viral Infections 23 PTS 4 REB 11 AST.

Coin Collectors vs. Hobos 80 - 91 At Naker Virus Arena.
My favourite team (not biased at all) Hobos had a brilliant win on Friday against the valiant but hopeless Coin Collectors. I think they should keep collecting those coins because there is clearly room for improvement. Roger McComiskey was outstanding as always over the win, best to keep out on that one! The Coin Collectors tried some dirty tactics by doing a lot of fouling was it wasn't enough to stop the Hobos from taking the win. Hobos GM had this to say after the game, "Garrie sucks". Exciting stuff!

3 Debjit Chaturvedi Hobos 20 PTS 7 REB 2 AST 1 STL 1 BLK. The Hobos team had a very well rounded performance from everyone but Debjit just takes the cucumber. Better FG% plus taking advantage of the free FTs shows a little extra effort and deserves the 3 votes.

2 Siarhey Usik Coin Collectors 18 PTS 4 REB 6 AST 2 STL 1 BLK. It was a coin toss between Usik and Antuñán. I couldn't split them as I reckon they had exactly equal games. I tossed a coin and gave the points to Usik. If Cuprolamniophobe challenges for Antuñán to get the points then he can get them automatically.

1 Mak ZhaoHong Hobos 19 PTS 6 REB 4 AST 1 STL. As much as Moana scored and rebounded, he fouled and turned it over too much. Zhaohong gets the points from others misfortunes - that's how we roll at the Hobos!


Team Akuma vs. Skyhook Dreamers 75 - 83 At Blue Piggy Bank.
Dud team 1 vs dud team 2. What a great match up of fumbling fools fighting for f**k all. Very good game but Skyhook always just slowly edged away from Akuma. The odds before the game were $1.43 a piece - didn't show much between them. Skyhook should have celebrated into the night after this win because I don't think his next one will be within the next blue moon.

3 Inayet Hürriyet Skyhook Dreamers 20 PTS 1 REB 5 AST 1 STL. Very close up the top of the stats sheet but I flipped another coin and gave the big 3 to Hürriyet.

2 Darrell Pressley Team Akuma 28 PTS 15 REB 1 AST. Big game from big bad black Darrell. Absolutely DESTROYED Brynsteinsson inside and easily deserves second spot.

1 Valentin Robinot Skyhook Dreamers 24 PTS 6 REB 2 AST 1 STL. Followed closely by Chan but just steals the points away. Better FG%, similar rebs, similar ast, their TO and fouls cancel each other out, plus 1 steal extra to Robinot. Better luck next match Chan ya dud!

shepparton shooters vs Persepolis Immortals 63 - 80 At Garbage Can (the best).
Arguably the best match of the round in all of the fishbowl.
Big ezy vs big Xerxes.
Big V-Thrush vs Big Salimi sausage.
A big inside game was expected and it was delivered. The Immortals smacked the weak shooters around and won every quarter with a dominant display of sausage. A very good game hosted by a great arena giving as many fans as possible a chance to watch the big clash.

3 Pashang Salimi Persepolis Immortals 24 PTS 21 REB 2 AST 1 BLK. Mr Sausage himself didn't want any weak stuff in the paint and cleared the path every time.

2 Junel Viojan shepparton shooters 22 PTS 25 REB 1 AST 2 STL. Huge game by virgin boy catching the eye of DIREWUUULF who may be looking for V-Thrush to join the NT squad.

1 Patap Papkevich Persepolis Immortals 15 PTS 4 REB 2 AST 1 STL 1 BLK. Just edging out Levitsianos by 1 block and 3 rebounds against 6 missed shots. 1 BLK + 3 REB > 6 shots. Either player could get the points if challenged because it's too hard to split hairs.

Week 5 (Leeroy bludging at work style)

Viral Infections vs. Geelong Vipers 126 - 107 (36141568)

Both of these teams decided to play Run and Gun on this night which resulted in a whopping 65 3 pointers being taken total! If you think that is impressive then you'll be disappointed to find out that only 20 of those shots made it through the basket. It seemed that neither team was too concerned with defence on the night making for a thrilling and high scoring game.

3 Yuri Abruzzese Viral Infections - Despite being the oldest codger in Nakers squad Yuri shot over 60% and picked his mans pocket 5 times. 38 points 4 rebounds and an assist in 36 min.

2 Louie Humphrey Geelong Vipers - The Vipers most defensive player, keeping his man to 13-39. His largest downfall was giving up the ball 8 times only sweetened by his 7 assists and 7 rebounds. A mixed performance by the veteran but clearly the Vipers best. This gets the old man the 3 votes with the only damper on the night being his 4 fouls.

1 Sidónio Conceição Viral Infections - The Portugal born star swingman Sidónio Conceição made a name for himself in this game, grabbing 7 steals 8 rebounds 5 assists combined with 21 points to land him the last vote.


Quinn Kings vs. TeamAkuma 60 - 87 (36141565)

It seems like us Kevin boys like our Isolation tactics but it was not enough for the Quinn Kings to take their second victory in the North. While not a very efficient night for either team in terms of shooting percentage Akuma got the job done early, going up by 20 points in the first quarter alone. After that there was just no coming back from the large deficit.

3 Clinton Abimbola TeamAkuma - Despite shooting poorly Abimbola was Akuma's main source of offence, taking a total of 26 shots throughout the game but only landing 8 of those. What he couldn't do on the offensive end he made up for by keeping his man to 4-17 shooting and 10 points, landing him the 3 votes for his team.

2 Mark Booth TeamAkuma - Mark "The Swingman" Booth as he's known in the Akuma camp was a defensive machine in this game, managing to keep his opposition to 4-18 shooting keeping in mind he did not shoot well himself. 6-16 shooting gave Mark 14 points to go along with 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

1 Billy Siffredi Quinn Kings - While having a horrible night shooting the ball, Billy was hands down the best player on the field for the Kings. 24 Points 5 assists and 2 rebounds clinches the last vote for Billy.


Hobos vs. Warren Bulls 106 - 87 (36141570)

The Hobos were the favourites coming into this game and lets face it, being one of the only two Division II teams in the North I'm not very surprised. There was no trolling in this match as the Hobos got off to a quick start showing that they weren't there to mess around with the scores at 60-44 come half time. From there on out the Bulls had a hard time making up the 16 point deficit and after a rally in the 3rd were overrun in the 4th.

3 Mak ZhaoHong Hobos - Mak the Asian sensation felt right at home in this game, serving up 13 rice balls (assists) grabbing 6 won tons (rebounds) and hitting 11-21 bringing his total to 24 points for the night and earning him 3 vote honours.

2 Roger McComiskey Hobos - Old Roger Dodger played his Ginger heart out on this night keeping his man to 30% shooting while shooting a tidy 50% himself. He piled on 21 points for his team along with 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Not bad for a horrible player.

1 Johan Hellman Warren Bulls - The Bulls' best player on the night and pretty much their go to guy for offence. Johan shot 16-32 from the field racking up 35 points and 4 rebounds. Not much else can be said about his performance but it's enough to land him the final vote.

Week 5 (Leeroy bludging at work style) Part 2

shepparton shooters vs. Skyhook Dreamers 98 - 89 (36141567)

A classic Inside vs outside matchup on this night provided us with some thrilling play and a crap ton of fouls! Unfortunately for the Dreamers they were the only ones commiting the fouls, sending the shooters to the line for a total of 41 free throws. Shepparton's strong inside presence dominated the boards grabbing a 19 rebound advantage and essentially stemming any hope of a rally in the 2nd half. Very well played by both teams

3 Junel Viojan shepparton shooters - "The Shooters key to victory" did exactly that on this night, grabbing 24 boards and 25 points with 10-22 shooting. While not the most efficient player in terms of shooting percentage, forcing his man to foul out and playing tough defence got him over the line for the 3 votes.

2 David Chan Skyhook Dreamers - Despite shooting just above 41% this game, Mr. Chan was a key reason why the Dreamers stayed in the game for so long, carrying his team on offence racking up 35 points 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 39 minutes. Add a 13.0 rating into it and you have your 2 vote recipient.

1 Xiong Weipeng shepparton shooters - This young gun was close to getting the 3 votes this week but Viojans domination of the boards put his humble team mate into the 1 vote spot. 33 points 16 rebounds and 3 steals caps off a great performance from the shooters.


Brisbane Thunder vs. Maggots 71 - 54 (36141566)

This was the lowest scoring game of the night which could be attributed to the amount of shots missed or just the lack of any efficient scoring means by both sides. The Maggots found themselves up by 5 at the end of the first half only to be fought back in the 3rd with the Thunder clawing their way to a 2 point lead going into the 4th quarter. What looked to be a tight quarter turned into a rout with the Brisbane Thunder firing up to score 24 points to a meagre 9 by the Maggots. Well played by both teams.

3 Cristiano Semoni Brisbane Thunder - The Fro was too much for the maggots on this night shooting by far the best of both teams at 11-20 and getting to the line for 6-6 free throws combining for 29 points. Throw in 16 rebounds and 3 blocks and you have your 3 votes.

2 Christian Brakenhoff Maggots - I was very reluctant giving Christian the 2 votes as he shot poorly all night against his younger counterpart. On the other side of the coin he was clearly the best Maggot on the court grabbing 15 points 7 rebounds 5 assists and 3 steals to give his team half a chance.

1 Stuey Faka’osifolau Brisbane Thunder - The b0ssman himself kept his opponent to 6-23 shooting for the night and racked up 20 points and 3 assists. When asked about his Defence after the game he replied with "What can I say? I guard like a b0ss" There you have it from your 1 vote recipient.


Coin Collectors vs. Persepolis Immortals 65 - 96 (36141569)

Not much to say about this game, unfortunately for Coin Collectors they chose the wrong defensive tactics resulting in an Inside domination from the Immortals. In any game where you're out rebounded by 41 you know it's going to be a tough one.

3 Alibek Imandosov Persepolis Immortals - When you can come out and be your teams top scorer in 22 minutes then you know you're doing something right. Alibek shot 6-8 from the field to give his team 17 points as well as grab 11 boards. One of the quickest double-double's I've seen in a while and it gets him the 3 votes

2 Pashang Salimi Persepolis Immortals - Salami was a fiend on this night with his 15.0 rating. He nabbed 16 points 11 rebounds and shot 50% from the field. He also attempted 10 free throws to cap off his performance.

1 Philip Buerge Persepolis Immortals - Another player who scored well in a short amount of time. 15 points in 28 minutes as well as playing some gr

Week 6 (Leeroy Bludging at work style)

Hobos vs. Geelong Vipers 66 - 79 (36141575)

This was an all Guppy affair last night with Division II tanker and resident tr0ll FannyPackMan and his hobos going up against the much improved and equally as tr0lling Matt1986 and his Geelong Vipers. The game got off to a good start for the Vipers going up by 7 at the half with Rosales leading the way being the dynamic scorer that he is. It wasn't until the 3rd quarter that the hobos looked like rallying but that was quickly quelled in the 4th with some outstanding defense.

3 Sam Rosales Geelong Vipers - The star player for the Vipers got it done on the night only playing 37 minutes and shot 7-13 to give him a tidy 16 points 14 rebounds (7OR) and a 12.5 Rating

2 Kody Moana Hobos - Despite being a scrub Moana was the best player for the hobos. He shot 9-15 from the field attributing to his 21 points, he also pulled down 12 rebounds and stole the ball 3 times.

1 Vojtěch Sirotek Geelong Vipers - The best defensive player for the Vipers keeping his opposing position to 0-8 the whole night and grabbed 8 rebounds which is impressive for an SG. Add 10 points and 3 assists into the mix and you have the last vote.

Brisbane Thunder vs. Quinn Kings 110 - 96 (36141571)

It was no holds barred last night as the two Keviners battled it out. Quinn Kings had a great first half getting the jump on the Thunder and going up by 5 before the half time whistle. The Second half was the complete opposite and saw the Thunder come out firing on all cylinders, It was rumoured that the b0ssman Faka hired a stripper for the half time break to help the boys calm down. 66-47 in the Second half in favour of the Thunder makes the $2 bill worth it

3 Cristiano Semoni Brisbane Thunder - The Fro' had his way with the Kings, Bullying his way to 40 points and 10 rebounds on the night giving him a 13.5 rating. He also nailed a 3 like a b0ss ;)

2 Arsenije Stamenković Quinn Kings - The most efficient scorer for the Kings shooting 14-17 amounting to 30 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. 5 personal fouls were his only let down in an otherwise great performance.

1 He Anfu Brisbane Thunder - Old Anfu was all class in this game hitting 12-19 from the field racking up 28 points and pulling down 13 rebounds. He narrowly missed out on the 2 votes due to some lack of defense.
