Actually uthinkuknow has 4 All-Stars. I do not think that their PF should be starting ahead of mine.

My center is back from his injury after missing 3 games. He is not listed as the leading rebounder because he has not played in 2/3 of the games.

The MVP of the first half was one of the Clawz players. Their players do not put up great individual numbers because they share the scoring load. Dirk Schmoeller of the Icers won the last 2 MVP awards but he was transferred out.

The conferences are very even with the Big 8 holding a slim 25-23 lead in interleague play.

I just realized Emporia Lakers has my former star Josh Floyd whom I drafted and trained up as their current star. I see he has really thrived with the Lakers. Good job man!! Nice to see him continuing on!

Josh Floyd leads the league in scoring as a one-man team on a 33-man roster. Gregg Case of Clawz scored 59 points in the All-Star game. I previously mentioned how the Clawz players share the scoring load for their team.

I'm just gonna ignore the "voting" for MVP at the end of the season and declare Gregg Case the MVP. That was a dominating performance.

The MVP of the first half was one of the Clawz players.

The MVP award is a regular season award without regard to the All-Star game since only 10 players from each conference are selected. The stats from playoffs and relegation series are not factored in since not every team is involved.

The problem with the All-Star game is that nobody plays defense. There were only 2 fouls called in the entire game.

Greg Case has the best player rating in the entire league while C Manfrotto has the best player efficiency on their team, SF Faga leads their team in scoring, PF Jungjohann leads their team in rebounding, and PG Zuniga leads the entire league in assists. Clawz has the best starting lineup but an injury to any of their starters would hurt them the most.

Last season Zuniga received more MVP votes than Case. This season Faga, Zuniga, and Manfrotto received more All-Star votes than Case although they all play different positions.

I know it has nothing to do with the All-Star game. I'm joking that the best player in an exhibition game is a more accurate way of choosing the season MVP than the way BuzzerBeater currently chooses one.

I had the best player in the league last season (Visconti) and he didn't get a single vote for MVP. That's because I manage my minutes and train players by having them play out of position. Schmoeller won the MVP last season because he played 48 min in EVERY game for Icers and was the only player on his team who made over 10k/wk in salary. Icers also had a player come in seventh place in the voting who made 9k/wk in salary, and he also played 48 min in every game.

How do you win MVP? Make sure your best player never leaves the floor and ignore his plummeting game shape.

Oh, and.... Medrano > Manfrotto :)

Medrano > Manfrotto

All-Stars and MVPs are not necessarily the best players but the players who put up the best numbers. My personal definition of MVP is the player who means the most to his team. Medrano means more to his team but Manfronto puts up better numbers.

Medrano as the franchise is a better rebounder but he does not have MVP numbers. Manfronto while surrounded by 4 All-Stars and playing fewer minutes scores more points with a higher player rating.

Josh Floyd of EMPORIA LAKERS is a one-man team who always plays 48 minutes and leads the league with 37.2 ppg to become an MVP candidate.

The players from Clawz take MVP votes away from each other. Their stats are not spectacular because they share the scoring load. I am surprised that they don't play play major minutes since Clawz doesn't have a deep bench. I have the deepest bench so my guys don't need to play so many minutes.

My players don't have any business getting MVP votes this season since I'm rebuilding. I hope I don't get any votes.

By my theory, Josh Floyd will win the MVP.

The MVP of the first half was one of the Clawz players.

You might be right about Floyd as the MVP. Zuniga of Clawz is a better PG who actually received more All-Star votes than Floyd but playing 31.6 min and averaging 16.0 ppg while sharing the ball with 4 All-Stars will not get Zuniga the MVP.

It was SG Chase of Clawz who scored 59 points in the All-Star game and he also received more All-Star votes than Floyd but he plays 29.5 min and averages 17.6 ppg which are not MVP numbers for the same reason.

By my own definition of MVP Floyd means more to his team that any player in the league. Unfortunately his team might go bot before they get relegated.

In a possible Finals preview uthinkuknow beat Clawz 103-94 to take over the top spot in the power rankings. Zuniga played 48 minutes and scored 35 points but it was not enough.

Rhino without 2 starters out with an injury lost to Diamantes 107-83.

We have two teams at 13-1 that will collide in the final game of the regular season, uthinkuknow @ Diamantes.

A good game for Tuesday would be Diamantes @ Clawz. Through a glitch in the system this is the 6th straight season that Diamantes plays against Clawz on the road. To add insult to injury the Diamantes starting SG will miss the game with an injury. The value of a deep bench..........

Clawz beat Diamantes 93-87 to claim the number 2 spot in the power rankings. My backup SG held Case to 12 points but we came up short.
