That's more of a depressing (we almost made it) fact than a fun fact. Kind of like how the Redskins are the good luck charm for the NFC. If we beat you, you've got a good shot to win the NFC Championship game.

I don't know about your new Center, but I know I'm doing some roster shuffling sometime soon. That specific PG experiment was a bust. Also, it'd be bullshit if Pratt won MVP. Like Robinson over Olajuwon, except if BMG's Cespedes actually started instead of being a backup.

Pratt as the unanimous choice... interesting. I don't think Cespedes was or should have really been in the mix... he's been solid, but not spectacular, for me for a while now. If Casillas had been with me longer, I think he'd have made a bigger push.

I guess Pratt gets it on the "best player on the best team" criteria, even though I don't think he's the best player (Owens, Bland or Alas, depending on how much you value defense, with Bland as the best defensively, Alas as the best offensively, and Owens in the middle for both), nor is he the most valuable player to his team (Alas by a mile). Still, I can't argue with it going to a team that finished 18-4, and in that case, Pratt's clearly the guy.

Completely. No way Pratt deserves it. I wish he wasn't limited by superstar potential. I don't think anyone with only superstar potential should possibly get the league MVP. He gets stats on my team, but your bigs trash mine.

It might surprise you but Alas has higher OD, ID, & shot blocking than Bland does. But lower inside shot.

yeah, as coco said, i meant based on performance. those 3 players get used in pretty dramatically different ways.

pp100 allowed on shots defended by each (s20 regular season games only):
Bland 38
Owens 48
Alas 53

others of note:
Nielson 50
Casillas 55
Penoni 54

This is obviously just among big men-- these numbers are all much lower for guards/SFs. Also, I'm lumping Alas in with the bigs (I've never bothered to check if you d-switch him). As a SF, his 53 is much less impressive (he's top 4 defensively among bigs, but there are a bunch more guys ahead of him as a SF, I think).

its still early, but a so far shocking result in game 2. Bullish is up on BMG by 18 with just over 4 to go
