ARIS WORLD FANS said:
why dont play in this league River Plate??
They finished last season owing U$S 300000 to players and coach and failed to reach an agreement on how to pay them, so they got kicked out of the league. Days later, the league gave their playing rights to Estudiantes Bahía Blanca, that was playing in TNA (2º division)
 
Standings after 36 of 44 games:

1-Peñarol MdP 49,5
2-Quilmes MdP 48,5
3-Libertad Sunchales 46,5
4-Boca Juniors 45,5*
5-Sionista Paraná 45,5
6-Estudiantes Bahía Blanca 45
7-Ben Hur Rafaela 45
8-Gimnasia CR 44
9-Quimsa Santiago 43*
10-Deportivo Madryn 42,5
11-Regatas Corrientes 41*
12-Atenas Córdoba 40*
13-Ciclista Juninense 39,5
14-Obras 38,5*
15-Central Entrerriano 38,5
16-Belgrano San Nicolás 33,5*

(*)= Have played one game less than the others, so they'll add 1 or 2 more points.

A few comments:

-Estudiantes and Sionista are the biggest surprises so far. Both teams are composed with mostly TNA (second division) players but are between the best. Estudiantes amazingly won every game since releasing LNB top scorer Stalin Ortiz (he wanted to leave the club because of a better offer in Spanish LEB).

-Atenas is having a nightmare season. They've fired the coach, they made multiple signings and releasings of foreigners, and nothing improves. They got trashed by Boca 79-55 yesterday. And there are rumors that they may strike a commercial alliance with local football club Belgrano, seeing more sponsorship and attendace.

-Regatas shocked the market with a big budget and big signings; but injuries, bad coaching and multiple roster changes have them underachieving.

-Belgrano is almost doomed. Obras, Central and Ciclista fight to avoid being relegated too.

-Central is another big disappointment. They have a very good roster, and made some big signings during the season (Panama NT C Antonio García, former Wizards F/C Randell Jackson, former Tau & Argentina NT G/F Leandro Palladino), but they keep losing anyway.

El Nacional/Monte Hermoso (beach city of nearly 7000 -that's right, no zeroes missing- located near Bahía Blanca, city where the club is originally from) earned the promotion to LNB A after sweeping Olimpia Venado Tuerto 3-0. Olimpia's roster included veteran SF Jorge Racca (former Gran Canaria, Greek league, Reggio Calabria, Napoli, Tenerife and National Team among others) in the last game of the series.

Boca and NT PF Leo Gutiérrez drives past Libertad SF Diego Cavaco.

Independiente of Neuquén (city of 300.000 located in the Patagonian north) earned the promotion to Liga A by beating Pedro Echagüe of Buenos Aires 3-1.
 
Sorry, my fellow users!

Today the Finals started, and Boca shocked Peñarol 61-57 in Mar del Plata, in front of 7000 Peñarol fans.

(And yes, Boca turned around the series against Libertad, from 0-2 to 3-2. Boca also did this in the quarterfinals against Ben Hur)
 
Boca Juniors completed a stunner, winning the Finals 4-2 in an incredibly even series:

Peñarol 57 - Boca Juniors 61
Peñarol 77 - Boca Juniors 75
Boca Juniors 57 - Peñarol 58
Boca Juniors 77 - Peñarol 74
Peñarol 58 - Boca Juniors 66
Boca Juniors 89 - Peñarol 81

PF Leo Gutiérrez was declared Finals MVP because of his 15.5 ppg, and his Game 6 performance: 22 pts and 6/6 threes.

Kind of left behind, huh?;)

The trend of foreigners being signed and released is really amazing. Just for this holidays, players like Jason Keep, William Sanders and Dionisio Gómez got cut. But the new signings aren't bad (Chris Jackson, Larry Florence, Robert Battle and Dionisio Gómez himself:rolleyes: ).

Plus, during december many good Americans were released (Silas Mills and Raheim Brown are some examples; Mills wound up replacing Brown). It seems that coaches either don't know what they need from them, or perhaps they don't know who they are signing.

The ggod thing is that a new rule allows teams to sign players who already played for other LNB clubs. Some foreigners who played for two teams are Maurice Spillers (Ben Hur and Boca), Jamar Brown (Atenas, Ben Hur and Gimnasia CR, they all released him), Chima Igwe (Belgrano and Ciclista, both released him), Gómez and Mills.

Yep, my fault..., Sorry everyone I'been busy during the past six months, but from now on I'll start posting again.

I want to welcome Alermac who is very respeced in Argentinian basketball forums
