Well, with 2 games to go, Aggy has an unassailable lead. Let's give a round of a applause to the Wombat's star power forward!

Fishbowl West MVP Season 5 Week 10

Second last week of the season and everyone is still trying to catch the surprising Whitebeard.

Pancakes with Jam and Cream vs. Black Label Society 68 - 101

The end of the era has already been announced and this thumping emphasises it. With Kuman and PCC gone the strength of the Pancakes is long gone and now they are relying on Dowd (who had a shocker 2/15) and Hipólito to get them home. Against the depth and strength of recently crowned cup winner BLS this was really no contest.

3 Gary Howorth Black Label Society 25 PTS 16.0 rating. Top scoring for the winning team was a good start but 1 assist for a PG is horrible and would have seen him on 1 or even 0 votes except for the blanket he threw over Dowd keeping him to just 8 points in 48 minutes on a horrible percentage.

2 Grgur Fatur Black Label Society 14 PTS 12 REB 16.5 rating. A warmup for his cup final where he was the the MVP, Grgur did whatever it is a giant neanderthal is supposed to do on a basketball court. Here is a video of his cousins:

1 Alejo Hipólito Pancakes with Jam and Cream 23 PTS 11 REB. While his team was geting flogged at least Hippoman put in a decent effort. Currently for sale for $1 he could be yours!

Koopasaurus vs. Whitebeard 57 - 71

When the all-conquering Whitebeard took on the vastly improved Koopasaurus you may have thought the result would be closer, but not really. There is no doubt that Whitebeard is one of the top four teams in the nation at the moment and will hopefully even give WA IS A DUMP a tough test in the ABBL playoffs. Koops choice of a patient offence may be a sign that he was looking more to keep the margin low than to actually win. Whitebeard shot badly, didn't dominate the boards and had only 13 assists, so how did they win? Defence. Take Koops 0/20 from 3 point range as a rather extreme example.

3 José Forastero Whitebeard 11 PTS 16 REB 16.0 rating. No-one shot well against Koop's tough defence but Jose rebounded well, defended and fouled his man (who is paid more than double his wages) out in 30 minutes. Nice.

2 Tommaso Rusconi Whitebeard 15 PTS 15 REB. Again limited a much more highly paid Koopasaur while having a nice game himself.

1 Alexis Asvestas Whitebeard 18 PTS. Top scored but again a dissapointing effort for a top tier PG to have just 3 assists in 39 minutes even if playing SF.

Sorry Wazza, 5/25 FGs just doesn't get you anything.

Monkey Business vs. Baxter Bogans 79 - 95

The Bogans won playing outside vs the Biz going inside. The Bogans had better defensive ratings.

3 Donats Lopinš Baxter Bogans 27 PTS. Top scored.

2 Dimitris Patziaras Monkey Business 21 PTS 16 REB. Scored and rebounded.

1 Giovanni Castaldo Baxter Bogans 22 REB. Top rebounds.

Fishbowl West MVP Season 5 Week 10 Part 2

Sun is shining time to go out for a bike ride before the thunder, lightining and gale force winds start again. Will finish later.

Back.

Lewisham Wombats vs. Bell Park SuperCats 91 - 100

Predictably the Wombats threw the ball inside to Aggie but less predictably the Cats were even better at throwing the ball inside to their big men. And is it just me or is Hahi bin Awang a big dissapointment for someone that earns $140,000 a week? 3 assists and 4 turnovers while shooting 7/16 - my $10,000 PG can put up those sort of figures and regularly does! The Wombats PG position also had the lowest PTS per possession in the game. Birol Yalduz also had a stinker with 2 points and 6 fouls in 31 minutes.

3 Alberto García Ortiz Bell Park SuperCats 21 PTS 12 REB 5 AST. The battle of the PFs was intense in this match and they were both very effective but in the end Ortiz took the three points by the slimmest of margins because he had more assists than the Wombats PG.

2 Aggelos Panagiotopoulos Lewisham Wombats 24 PTS 14 REB 16.0 rating. Superb performance, top socre, 1 off top rebounds, .5 off top rating but couldn't quite contain Ortiz enough to get the win.

1 Kamilis Fedorcukas Bell Park SuperCats 18 PTS 6 AST 16.0 rating. Shot very well against tough opposition as well as passing and defending. Very solid.

Cowboys From Hell vs. Zazzocalypse 105 - 87

Ah the fates. Last season Cowboys looked unbeatable, while Zazz had to fight off a very strong South Brisbane Vultures who should never have been relegated anyway if it wasn't for the extreme luck of the Koop. One lineup for the Cowboys didn't set properly and they stay down and now have to deal with a VERY strong Da Fat Boy Slim and Adam's Guns while Zazz is raking in the big money in the ABBL while not even having to fight to avoid bottom due to the tanking Smeltztroopers (and the other 50% of the ABBL who are tanking this season). So now Cowboys are making nothing and will probably stay in division II while Zazz is making a fortune and only has to win two games to survive for another season of tanking in the ABBL. Fate can be cruel.

3 Daniel Peixet Cowboys From Hell 16 PTS 12 REB 14.5 rating. Very efficient shooting and a great job keeping his opponent to single figures got DP the MVP. Cowboys CRUSHED Zazz on the boards 69-37.

2 Feyzullah Perçin Cowboys From Hell 21 PTS 10 AST 5 REB. Great scoring and assists and dammingly more rebounds than Zazz's PF.

1 Tonko Švorinic Zazzocalypse 23 PTS 6 AST. Long time Zazz player high scored but it is difficult when your opponent has so many more possessions.


SmeltzTroopers vs. Kynlala Knights 73 - 97

Tanking Smeltztroopers vs a real threat to win the PL should be a slaughter. At least you can be sure the Troopers will pound the ball inside to Smeltz right? Wow the world is confused by this one when they played patient and their best player by a mile was their PG Qian Zhijian and Smeltz himself had just 6 points.

3 Duong Tôn Kynlala Knights 27 PTS 15.5 rating. Needed just 27 minutes to wrap up this one before taking a rest, his one blemish was the way he let Qian Zhijian go completely off.

2 Qian Zhijian SmeltzTroopers 43 PTS. Total ball hogging PG who has 0 assists probably shouldn't get 2 votes but 43 PTS isn't an average score and he even hit them at a reasonable rate and added 5 rebounds.

1 Pitama Tau Kynlala Knights 10 PTS 11 REB 5/7 FGS 15.5 rating. After the game he asked the media, "Who is the best Center?"

Week 11 Part 1

Black Label Society defeated Lewisham Wombats (106-87)
Final game just before the playoffs. The Society show exactly why they belong there with a comfortable victory over the Wombats.

3. Chan Po Sing (BLS) 17 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists
Po Sing almost had a triple double. Also restricted bin Awang's input to shooting at 2-13 even though he had 8 assists.

2. Aggelos Panagiotopoulos (LEW) 27 points, 12 rebounds
Aggy continue his fine form in the private league shooting at 12-14.

1. Grgur Fatur (BLS) 15 points, 6 rebounds
Garza and Kremer both missed out because of their poor defence performances on each other. Grgur was one of the differences as his defensive work on Yalduz help ensure victory. Yalduz shot a poor 5-21.

Whitebeard defeated Monkey Business (93-69)
It has been a surprising season for the Whitebeards as they bounced back from a poor last season (2-9) in the Fishbowl to take minor premiership crown in the West and doing so undefeated.

3. Jose Forastero (WB) 22 points, 13 rebounds
Got the 3 votes with his defensive effort on Deguang who shot an ordinary 7-24.

2. Tommaso Rusconi (WB) 22 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists
Good all round performance but had a struggle against Patziaras

1. Dimitris Patziaras (MON) 28 points, 6 rebounds
Just got the vote ahead of Feliciano. Poor rebounding almost cost him, was top scorer for the game.

Week 11 Part 2

Baxter Bogans defeated Cowboys From Hell (91-88)
It has been a below par season for the Bogans in both the league and fishbowl as they just scrap home over the line against the unlucky Cowboys. A first minute injury to star big man Castaldo didn't help the Bogans cause.

3. Donats Lopins (BAX) 17 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists
Fantastic defensive effort on Percin as he shot at an appalling 4-17 for the night.

2. Durk Renaud (BAX) 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists
Top scorer for the game. Didn't do much in the final quarter when the game was on the line.

1. Daniel Peixet (COW) 20 points, 16 rebounds, 3 blocks
Peixet kept the team in the game. Fitnat almost got votes for his big final quarter of 14 points.

Bell Park SuperCats defeated Zazzocalypse (109-96)
Final game of the season for both teams with pride on the line. The SuperCats needed a win to finish in the top half while Zazzocalypse looking to avoid the wooden spoon by guaranteeing themselves a victory. However the SuperCats were too strong as they second and third quarter performances got them the victory.

3. Fang Yao Zhong (BEL) 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists
Top scorer and didn't have much trouble from Choong Kuan all night.

2. Irwin Velasco (BEL) 22 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists
Gun USA small forward Velasco show exactly why he is one of the best in the business with almost a triple double for the game.

1. Alberto Garciz Ortiz (BEL) 26 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists
Had some difficulty against Lawrance but was the comfortable victor between the two.

Week 11 Part 3

SmeltzTroopers defeated Pancakes with Jam and Cream (107-82)
The Smeltz boys desperately seeking a win to avoid the wooden spoon against the Pancakes who have been prowling around the market looking for replacements for their former megastars. While the SmeltzTroopers were able to win the game comfortably but it was not enough as they go home with the wooden spoon.

3. Qian Zhijian (SME) 39 points, 5 rebounds
Taken over the mantel as the SmeltzTroopers new superstar. Might have to change the SmeltzTroopers to the ZhijianTroopers?

2. Kyle Smeltz (SME) 17 points, 18 rebounds
The big Smeltz has been playing second fiddle and will certainly not like it. Is his career at the SmeltzTroopers officially over?

1. Juan Cruz Ros (SME) 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals
Just snag the 1 vote for his all round performance.

Kynlala Knights defeated Koopasaurus (104-89)
The Knights capped off the season with a final win against the Koopasaurus. They had a wonderful season with at one stage vying for a playoff berth but it was not to be. Koops troops also did very well finishing in the top 4 but will be a little disappointed not to get win in the final game.

3. Shaun McArthur (KYN) 37 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists
What a performance! Almost a triple double for the game.

2. Eugenio Dell'Asta (KYN) 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists
Had little trouble to contend with for the game.

1. Pero Stojakovic (KOO) 23 points, 11 rebounds
Could have easily given the vote to Tau or Wazza
