Well there goes my hopes for an undefeated season, I knew I was stretching myself thin with and injured starter and an injured backup while still saving minutes for the cup and playing TIE on the road... I'm an idiot, shoulda put more into that game but nice job Shane Young...

I thought I'd had a good chance. I almost felt bad to upend an undefeated season, but you know, you gotta play every game to win, and it really opens up the division a lot, which I think can work well for me. I didn't crunch time, I just gave it the typical shot I'd give the #1 team, and figured my poor start and selloff of Kirk Lara might make me a little overlooked. Oh well, I guess now it's on like Donkey Kong in our division!

Injuries, I definitely understand. Bought a great SF to round out my team 2 years ago, then watched him get hurt in the playoffs and leave me behind an 8 ball in the championship series. Last year it was my PF that went down for 3 weeks right on through the playoffs (and just as the year before, at a position I'd been shallow at). I haven't had a TON of injuries, just crippling ones. Hopefully we'll all find ourselves with a full squad the rest of the season!

Oh yeah don't show any mercy, to you I'm just some random guy you'll never see... I haven't had an injury in the last season or two thankfully but now I got two big ones while I'm still trying to stay in the cup. I hope it only costs me one league game because I'm still counting on the cup money to help pay my greedy players their salaries.

Well today we had 4 purchases totaling about 2 million dollars in IV.22. Guess it's just another ordinary day around here! 8-)

I've drawn reasonably in the cup this year so far, hoping that continues too. Last year I draw the 9th ranked team in the 6th round, and that was an abrupt end to things!

in season 16 I was knocked out by the Silverbacks who I think may have won the cup, and in season 14 the Chicago Bulls held me to 17 points when they were rank 2... I seem to attract NBBA teams in my cup draws and it sucks

Guess it is time that our symmetric month ends! Wonder what a good over/under on the scores are? Think we'll break 60s!?!

Looking forward to it :)

Lol, our league is getting nuts. We are definitely becoming one of the more competitive D IVs. I drew the 121 ranked team for the cup this week :(

Goodness, it lived up to everything wished... if you like those defensive struggles.

60s??? Nah. You couldn't shoot, I couldn't rebound, and people now want to replace us with Oklahoma State 8-)

Sorry someone had to go down, but looks like you're definitely playing pretty strong now :)

figured i would have you at home playing normal
but wow that was a great match

ive put together what i believe is one of the better rebounding teams in IV
been working on defense for the last season and a half
havent put much into offense so i try to keep the score low to give me a chance
i dont shoot a very high percentage but i get so many second chance points its almost unfair lol

maybe i will bump into you in the playoffs this season, if not i should be better prepared next season

Well, you won't argue with me that defense is where it's at :-) One of these days someday I'll highlight rebounding for a while. So far I've been fairly content for that to be average, and win with stifling defense and some creativity. I love my 4 points in the first quarter.

I'm thinking Christian Laettner-esque turn around jumped that Pintore hit at the buzzer. After your three. Seems like half of our offense came in the last minute! :-)

Look forward to playing you again, if nothing else, consider me willing to scrimmage whenever you like, given our current positions
