we will have just agree to disagree....Gonzc took some turns at PF, If Yasujiro was there, would the Blank line up had subbed a SG there(not Krecji because he is a beast) but Gonzc....I don't think so...So I think the blank line up helped you with more than just minute management. But that is only my opinion. I saw it happen before in one of my PL games. I had put a SG at C and ran patient and the other guy ran a blank line up(he told me this later) and after about 3 minutes a G came in at his C spot to D him up. I thought it was just a freak thing but after watching this game it showed me that it is for real. Now, don't get me wrong...it wasn't for the whole game but here and there a G would come in. So, in my opinion, it takes a lot of the fun out of the game. It no longer is a game of wits for the actual Game stuff...tactics, trying to get mismatches.....but a market game with the guy who logs in the most has the better chance of getting the good players and in turns wins.
BTW...Congrats on the win....I think you will have no problem beating Yoks second team next week. ( same ban date)

So sorry for your loss especially as now Wolph can win another trophy although it would be funny if Yoks won even while becoming a bot. Selling 4 of your top 5 players? A pity, some have very good skills but very low TPEs so I think you wont get much for them.

What is the criticism of Yoks & the NT? They are 3-0 so far, he was doing a great job!

Well....The NT job is a two season job and he was caught cheating and banned after only three games so now there is a guy who nobody liked and only 1 person voted for and he is our NT coach. I wouldn't call that doing a great job.

No biggie. Im going the stunners route. train japanese players, collect money, and win as much as i can doing it.

I run low post with my pg at pf and the best flow i can manage is average. but cram inside out does my "strategy"?

It is just unfortunate. There is nothing to break down really. you already know what it is. you dont even have to set your roster apparently. just get a bunch of good players, set look inside, and leave it to the AI to decide your strategy for you.

With more enthusiam at home i have

- more fouls
- more foul outs
- lower outside scoring rating
- 11 few fts.
- fewer assists
- more turnovers


So it is what it is. I hate the look inside offense with a passion but its the Bo Jackson techmo bowl glitch. you just cant stop it. So, with that, a bit of my interest died last night.

I lose a buzzerbeater, i feel different.

But to give up 17 in the first half, then give up 53 in the second. What else can you say?

I run low post with a wonderous passer at pf, i should have more than an average rating.

bottom line is, BB was not through in their implementation of the new offenses.

they introduced outside iso / inside iso / low post and none of them have really caught on.

I could argue X's and O's. but the simple fact is, 2 of my guys fouled out...none of yours did. No other offense consistently creates fouls like LI.

Weither or not i should have won is not the point. the fact that i hold you to 17 points in the first half, and you explode for 53 in the second is quite frankly a joke to me.

The way i see it, the game just broke down to its most simple components. good pass to guy with inside shot + driving creates basket or foul. That is basically buzzer beater.


the 53 point 2nd half was painful to watch. It really was.

I never run a blank lineup just don't trust it & I'm training every game anyway. But I'm guilty of look inside, but I have been doing it for seasons now & trained my guards to be good at it not my fault if the rest of the buzzerbeater world is copying me.:)

Just my opinion but low post is a weak offence. It seems to always create a lot of last second contested 3s. I rank it down with the isolations & princeton. All the rest are ok.

the problem of course is, if the princeton, low post, isolation strategies dont work, then the "strategy" element of the game is affected.

simply put, i rather lose a game doing any but over winning going look inside.

I just cant watch the games. But im not going to rail on LI. I just want to see my team work together and exploit a mismatch.

that is exciting. winning wars of attrition via who fouls out and who doesnt, not fun for me.
