if that makes you feel better about being in divII then good for you buddy
you claim BHB has an over reliance on D, well i beg to differ, you can never have enough D on your team.
as for my team of old farts, they will skool ur team anyday
you make it sound like winning the cup is so easy, lets see you do it : )

D over O always. No brainer for me too. :-)

Finally, you seem to bet ways too much on defense. I know ABBLers use to do it and I'm not a D'Antoni fan but Ill chose offense over defense anyday. Winning is about scoring more than your opponent.

this is probably why your still in divII and mike no "D" antoni aint gonna win anything, anytime soon. D over O anyday, but yeah, to each their own

+1 to you, Sir.

No matter how good your defense is, you don't need to be wise to realize that you won't win a game scoring 56pts on 25/82.

Since you won the cup, I assume any idiot can do it.

Well, I'm not going to argue with a bunch of basketball newbs. That's exactly when you make the difference between the guys that play(ed) the game at a decent level and the guys that eventually watch a few NBA games here and there. I'll not even get to the simple players skillset efficiency or your head might explode.

hahah u talk like you're a pro, yet ur stuck in mediocrity languishing in divII having achieved shit all

I might jump in there again, you start to interest me.

How do you define stuck in mediocrity? A team of veterans that lose market value everyday versus a team of young and talented prospects with high potential that get better every week. Please developp your opinion.

How do you define success in Buzzerbeater? A random cup win once a decade along with a probable relagation and several team restructures in the long run or an everyday improving team that aims for a long term domination at the top level?

What is a "pro" according to you? I thought pro was the commonly used short term for professional, which would mean I'd play buzzerbeater for a living. If that's your opinion, I can assure you I'm not. At best I'd consider myself as a thinker of the game. "Think", ever heard of?

You're in a losing battle here, ez.

Great arguments HAX, thanks for sharing.

Oh actually, could you explain to my current chatting partner how you went on to relegate this season? He might be in a similar situation really soon.

Snap! lol bring on the rivalry!

My team > your team
Thats all i got
You may one day surpass me in bb achievements but till then its obvious whos been more successful in this game, you say all ive done in a decade is one cup victory, but u havent done much in ur 1 less season then me
You make light of the fact i have a team of old farts who cannot be sustained with ur team being a team on the rise and set for domination , well i welcome the challenge of meeting your team one day and seeing how that will play out
This was never about who had the better team, i was simply making the point about D and O and it being the reason why ur still in divII

i would like to point out that in no way is ezlife stuck in mediocrity. He has been able to successfully rebuild his team while maintaining his spot in div II. i can rattle off a whole heap of names who either failed to do so or opted not to back their team to stay up and take the easy route to div III.

This leagues very own Home axis opted to drop down instead of try to rebuild in div II.

Then you have Rabid Camel, who chose to leave div II.1 then go through the pain of having to rebuild his team in div II.

Violator chose to drop down last season to rebuild, although i think he may have got bored.

Wagadugu Hippo's took the easy road this season in II.3 and dropped down.

RadRanga is also taking this route in II.3 this season

Naker and is infected lads decided they needed to go down to rebuild in season 16 instead of going the hard yards to stay up.

MicroLOL took the easy way last season from II.4 to take stock instead of fighting to stay up.

and last but not least... you took the easy road yourself in season 18 when instead of attempting to stay up in 'mediocrity' you dropped straight back down taking whatever money you could save with you.

so i ask you. if maintaining yourself in div II while rebuilding your club is such mediocrity... why did a cup champion and current ABBL team like yourself give up straight away and return to div III where you spent a total of 9 seasons?

i would be more inclined to say that those 9 seasons of div III fit the terms 'mediocrity' & 'languishing' a bit better than maintaining yourself in division 2 while building for the future...
