Your team in tier 5 will be ridiculous

Day 2 was chalk day. The good teams faced the not-yet-good teams, and the former generally won big. The only moments when we thought about upsets were:

1) when Two-O's made it close against us in the second quarter, on what turned out to be a fluky scoring run.
2) when Cal Bulldogs jumped out to a lead against Yuck.

I was looking for a spike in the number of assists, given the season announcement, but my team had fewer than usual.

Our Utopia teams (/farms) are facing off in BBM!

Oh that’s kind of fun. My Utopia team isn’t very good other than the kids I am training but will be fun.

Big day in the league. Top 4 teams in current standings all play each other.

Heh, your match will be more exciting. It seems that Doctors is on another extended break. I was probably going to win anyway with HCA, but under the circumstances I should be a little foolish to give him a W.

Well it looks like he's about to injure one of my better players, so there is a chance I'll lose without foolishness.

Yikes it's TWO injuries to starters.

Ugh. Are they long term? Backup SF got hurt tonight. Going to wreck minutes for my starting SF. At least I got a bot in the cup.

My starter SF, who also got injured in game 3 of the finals, is now long term. I think this is it for him---at 38yo, I may fire him. He was an all time market steal (I paid 14k for him at 119 TSP, and even now he is at 113TSP). But I'll find another old guy.

The other injury is not lasting, but might well be the difference in this game.

Day 3 had an exciting finish in store. Hoosiers entered the last minute 5 points down, but a well timed 3, a dunk, and a last second pair of free throw gets them the win.

X dominate X and Black Sheep (Janopol) put up interesting ratings, as Dominate notches the away win.

The marquee match did not disappoint: Johns Creek snatched a big away win at Ashkickers, propelled by a smothering 1-3-1 defense, 24-27 from the charity stripe, and good shooting from the Sargent/Baez duo. It was single digits, but also never that close down the stretch.

In the big 8, my team went into the match with the comfort of knowing that the opposing roster is strong but not actively managed. The two injuries made it closer than I would have liked, but we pulled it out, thanks to a whopping 64 rebounds.

Motor City Machines' Bonilla got to be the star in a Patient offense and made the most of it, in their team's win over Globo. We're gonna see more of Duane Jansen storming into the GM's office to ask for reinforcements.

Scrap Heap hangs 133 points in a cool 60 pts win over Team NYC. They look like a playoff team.

Two O's and Miami go push at each other with similar ratings, but Two O's comes out of it with better shots and a 17 pts win.
