Division One



CK Nicks - 1384 def Biggest Losers - 1374

Top Scorers: CKNY - E Bledsoe - 215, BL - T Burke - 168
Games Played: CKNY - 42, BL - 47
After a much anticipated contest this game sure did not disappoint, with the final result coming down to the last half of the last game for the week, with CK Nicks winning the contest by a mere 10 points. There two GM's have traded barbs over the past few weeks over some moves by GM CK, but he has had the last laugh and shown GM Pearce that his plan had merit. GM CK has another big game this week against his best mate Crossy and his Crusaders.

Jasmine's Mob - 1601 def The Raptors - 1383

Top Scorers: JMOB - P Gasol - 242, RAP - J Wall - 173
Games Played: JMOB - 47, RAP - 48
With a full-strength line-up Jasmine led her Mob to an easy victory over The Raptors. As mentioned last week, when the Mob is fully fit they are going to be tough to beat and they proved that this week in a dominant performance. Jasmine would be hoping her team stays healthy for the rest of the season to give her a good shot at a playoff berth. Her only concern is the limp Pekker she has sitting on her bench. If the Pekker would harden up Jasmine would be one very happy GM! The Raptors seem to be all healthy but just ran in to a better team this week. GM Mr G will be hoping to get back on the winners list next round.

Hinrich Manoeuvre - 1353 def Broady Broncos - 1315

Top Scorers: HRM - K Bryant - 179, BB - B Beal - 159
Games Played: HRM - 37, BB - 42
In another close encounter HRM got across the line in the last NBA game for the week to take home the chocolates. This would have to be HRM's best game of the year, winning with 5 less games played and his superstar number 2 draft pick LeBron James on the injured list for the entire week. The Broncos were hurt in more than just the W/L column with a serious injury to Al Jefferson, who strained (pulled?) his groin and now will miss a month.

Crossy Crusaders - 1632 def Adelaide Maggots - 1250

Top Scorers: B Knight - 171, AM - G Alphabet - 165
Games Played: CC - 47, AM - 39
Crossy notched up his 3rd win on the trot, and his 7th win for the season, with this easy victory over the Maggots. This win takes Crossy to the top of the league and he has now taken the mantle of championship favourite. His mate GM CK will be hoping to knock him back down to earth in the next round. On the flipside the Maggots fall to 1-9 and they are almost certain to face relegation at seasons end.

Ant Hak - 1369 def Hall of Famers - 1292

Top Scorers: AH - C Paul - 168, FAME - T Lawson - 172
Games Played: AH - 40, FAME - 43
Another close match=up here, this time won by the red-hot Ant Hak. GM Hack has strung together 5 wins, taking his record to a league lead-equalling 7-3. His team is firing and GM Hack will be hoping he can keep the streak alive. Whilst GM Brett T will be disappointed in the loss, he can take solace in the fact he does not have any major injuries and is still top of his division. No doubt we will see the Famers back on the winners list before too long.

The Real MVP - 1233 def The Fab 5 - 1225

Top Scorers: L6 - V Oladipo - 179, F5 - K Walker - 189
Games Played: L6 - 38, F5 - 40
In the closest contest of the round The Real MVP hung on to win by only 8 points. This was another marvellous contest that came down to the last game, which saw a battle between Swaggy P and Carlos Boozer, with Swaggy P just falling short of being able to drag the Fab 5 over the line. The Fab 5 have now fallen to 4-6 and star player Carmelo Anthony is sitting on the sidelines with a knee injury so a playoff berth may be slowly slipping away, whereas The Real MVP are now sitting at 6-4 after their hot start to the season.
