If you guys were interested, I found a site called buzzer manager that helps you optimize your lineup and give some more advanced stats, and I found a list of the best players in the league based off of player efficiency. Here you go!

1. Lo Mei jywan Strong arm of the law C
2. Zbigniew Kwintal Blaserz C
3. Kostas Malliopoulos Mattakeunk Moose SF
4. Emils Birznieks-Upitis Mattakeunk Moose PF

Just by a quick look you can see all the current playoff contenders are putting some of the best of the league on the court while multiple regulation teams don't have a single player on this list.

Thanks again G and G for putting the time/effort into your power ratings, although not sure I agree with them.

1. Fiercekitties (5-0) Easily the top team in the league. These kitties are on track to do 22-0

Can be pretty sure I won't go 22-0, nor do I have any interest in doing that. In season 27 here in IV.58, I was undefeated for a while, and all it did was put a huge target on my guys. Ended up getting jumped in one game, and finished 21-1. Then in the playoffs, I got jumped in the Great 8 conference finals. Would not have won the league anyway as Oppossums ran away with the league finals and remains comfortably up in D.3 even now. Who has the best regular season record does not necessary correlate to the ultimate league champ.

And if you guys want to know any other statistics for your team (Best rebounding team, best offensive team, who pays the highest salary prices each week, ect.) Let me know and I will see if I can find it for you!

But who do you think can take you down? I don't think any of the Big 8 teams will beat you if you make it to the finals. I think the only competition for league champ is kitties vs strong arm. Both teams are amazing and I can almost guarantee that one of you two will be league champ. There is a possibility that you don't go 22-0, but it is also possible that you do. I would also like to add that the target has been on your back since you beat strong arm. Anyway, good luck on the rest of your season!

You guys ready for Big 8 vs Great 8!?! This is the best part of the season (in my opinion)!

Weaker division took 6 of 8.

pretty devastated from the loss, Its tough trying to train 2 positions and trying to play a game without either of my 2 best guards. either way i'm still predicting a championship this year, just not going to be quite as clean as i wanted, going to have to win some road games.

Javamen with the upset! Still impressive even though Strong arm benched half their starters.

Yes, nice upset, especially since Java went look inside against the Strong's strongest D rating.

We shall have to see how the next couple of matches play out in terms Great 8 v. Big 8, but one conference is clearly the stronger conference despite what the first match-up results were.

I agree 100%. When Boilermakers go bot, the Big 8 will be deeper, but the Great 8 has stronger teams in the top 4.

I politely disagree. I would be interested in what measurement you are using when defining "stronger." On Tuesday:

Javamen (#4) knocks off Strong arm of the law (#2), and I'm not sure how you can bench half of your starters when 5 guys play.
Moose (#2) knocks off the Lightning Hoopers (#4)

That makes us 2-0, and though I understand that the Fiercekitties will probably tip the odds in your favor record-wise, when looking 1-4 I would say we are better. And the head-to-head record will show that in a few weeks.

On Saturday, the Mares and the Javamen (the #3/#4, respectively), will play, and I tend to see Javamen win by 12 or so, especially given that they have home court.

Frankly, Fiercekitties at Catzz (#1/#3) is going to be closer than you think, and if the kitties win, assuming even tactics and effort, it will be by seven or less. The Catzz are no pushover. Fiercekitties calling card is defense, and as they haven't shown themselves to be an offensive juggernaut, the first team to 95 points wins. Home court for the Catzz causes this to be a great match.

Don't be taken aback if we find the Big 8 sitting at 4-0 Saturday night.

With all due respect, this is just my novice opinion.
