Clogs in the Final Four! Go Team!

Many props to the Lethargy for their extended cup run as well. I wish they would have gone CT to go for the upset win, but I understand.

was really busy on thursday, so just quickly set a lineup of backups/scrubs. hardly even looked at who i was playing.
Do you think I could've made it close with a real lineup? Saw that the other D1 team playing a D2 team actually lost.

As for our match-up tonight... hoping it's not like my last league game. Where despite higher OD & flow, lost the turnover battle 19-6. Plus had my C foul out after only 29 minutes.

Might watch the rest of the first half live for the first time in forever. Well plus halftime. Since halftime in BB is so exciting.

ETA - ugh, now my PF has 3 fouls in 13 min, while you've got no one with more than 1 foul. ETA2- Now my PF with 4 fouls at halftime. Well, looks like i'm gonna lose!

And then my team fell apart with reckless abandon.
Something we are getting pretty good at.

Let me know if you find a cure for that.

My team was pretty good at pulling off victories up until about five games ago.
That coincides with when I started playing too many minutes in my cup run.

I think in Saturday night's game, my guys actually played their faces off in the first half. Continuing that for the win would have been amazing, but our performance in the second half was more a return to reality than a big surprise.

Gosh, no, I wouldn't know anything about anything like that or anything.

The funny thing is that I had been worried for a while that this last game against you might end up costing me a shot at HCA, but I apparently made sure that didn't happen by blowing it all by myself. On the other hand, I'll get to raise a final four banner and release a press announcement to that effect, which really means more public shaming for Morgan Menard, and in the end, that's what it's all about. Yes, that's what it's all about, don't let those Hokey Pokey enthusiasts tell you otherwise.

Wait... well, hopefully I lose to you in convincing fashion so the league underbosses don't determine that you are my rival again for the third consecutive season, in the off chance that you don't promote.

I guess I could try starting my four scrubs (they are quite a motley bunch) and my awful backup PG against you, playing Patient/FCP, and going TIE, but I still don't think you'll be able to make up the point differential on SFW playing against Bullish Mentality, the most expert tanking team I've ever seen (accidental win against newbie notwithstanding).

I've earned it very badly badly and also managed it very badly. ;)

My laptop died last week, so I was watching the game on my phone. I got pretty much everything I wanted - his SF was contained, the big men didn't dominate offensively (other than on the boards), and it came down to him needing a guard to do enough to beat me. And last night his SG did. Maybe another night he wouldn't have, but on the other hand there's no reason whatsoever that Klein should have been scoring like that offensively, so maybe another night I lose by a bigger margin with lower total scores. In any case, that's the way I like to go out of the Cup, and so now hopefully I can finally have the postseason run I need to get out of here.

Congrats on the great Cup run. So very hard for a non-NBBA team to make the finals and we can see from that travel call at the end that the refs clearly protect the NBBA teams.

I think you are still the clear favorite for the the postseason, but I also think it is shaping up to be a fairly competitive postseason all around. Should be an exciting couple of weeks.

I would complain about the refs, but they bailed out Honeycutt when he decided to drive in the last two minutes that let me tie it back up at 90. And after the first period, I thought Busch was a goner but nobody really got into foul trouble. I ended up just not able to make a stop in the first half of the fourth quarter, and not able to hold on to the two point lead I had late long enough to get into a FT vs 3s battle, where I think I would have been able to put it away. I'll take it.

We'll have to see on the postseason. I probably was a clear favorite at 22-0 last season too, but that first game in the Finals is one of those that will haunt this team forever. At least now I won't have to worry about a Cup game any more, so I won't be constrained in my lineups as much, but likewise I would not be surprised in the least to see the Cantaloupes knock me out if they finish fourth either. The playoff race on this side is crazy close.
