Forums have been quiet lately.
I'll chime in to say my team surprised me yesterday, withstanding a truly monstrous game by Big Head Todd's largest monster, Stuart Vereker, with 38 points and 21 boards. Early on, my starting PG went out with injury and my best player was being shut down, so I was thinking this one was not going to go well. Bummer, as BHT is my rival and this was a TV game. I think the home court advantage must have kicked in, or luck, or something, because we managed to pull away in the third quarter. It's never a sure thing when Vereker is on the floor, so I wasn't comfortable with my lead until about a minute to go.

Good game, Big Head Todd! Your team is always tough to beat.

Did anyone notice Soloch's 20 pt, 19 reb, 10 blk triple double? Also can some explain to me how GS Warriors won their game while losing just about every ratings category? I would guess effort or home court, but they had neither. Congrats Warriors, you snuck one.

That is an insane triple double.

Wow, it was against me and I didn't even notice! 10 blocks. That's pretty much the 1st time that Woods has been shut down.

Well he injured my top 2 players and fouled out my 3,4 ranked player to catch up the lead. The ratings are probably skewed by my bench players hanging on to the lead

I'm getting absolutely crushed by the Warriors right now. More so than I would have ever expected.
I think they've got some savvy builds... or something. Otherwise I can't explain it. No reason for my bigs to be getting outrebounded like this unless their guys have twice the RB as mine, and that's not possible unless they are in the Legendary++++ range.

U got 16 orebs ...

Well all games are played and it's Tuesday night and time for another edition for Survivor II.4

In last weeks games the GS Warriors fell to the Libertines which puts the Great 8 up 7-6 in "Divisional Play"

So for this weeks games.....

Super Stars (4-2) vs Div III Portland Pioneers (0-6) - The Stars will shine in this one as I don't see the Pioneers picking up their first win of the season here....

Sungrazers (4-2) vs Div IV Hyneas (3-3) - No laughing matter here as the sungrazers have too much for the visitors...

Flying Leopards (3-3) vs Div III Dunkin Als (2-4) - The Leopards will do the Dunking in this one....

Rockford (1-5) vs Div IV White Plains Mavs (4-2) - The Mavs have a 100K salary guy Gicaro but he should have the night off so I see Rockford rolling over the Plains in this one....

The Bullets (1-5) vs Div IV Triple Double (1-5) - In a battle of teams facing tough seasons, the Bullets have the edge in this one.

EDH Wolves (4-2) vs Div IV Chicage Wildboys (5-1) - The Wolves should put the bite on the Wildboys in this one.

Funky Town Fire (4-2) at Div IV Redstones (6-0) - The Redstones are a good Div IV team and are playing at home but the Fire will light them up in this one.

Pwnstrz (3-3) vs Div IV Crown Heights Knights (6-0) - The Knight are a solid Div IV team but dont have the depth so they will get owned on the road....

Beware of Dogs (2-4) vs Div III Winnetka Wizards (4-2) - With most Dogs rested they will send the Wizards to the pound.

Work in Progress (1-5) vs Div IV California Quakes (2-4) - Nothing earth shaking here as WIP will be the last ones standing...

Well thats all the real games this week. Good Luck to all of you!

Yeah, but Heinz Liebetruth had zero boards until well into garbage time.
That is just plain non-filtered unadulterated silliness with his level of RB.

Welcome again to another edition of DII.4 Survivor!

In last week's episode nobody was voted off the island which leaves the Great 8 tribe at 7 vs the Big 8 tribe with 6.

This week we have a lot of games so I am just naming the games as there is more research to do than usual (though I will have my snarky predictions out on Wednesday night.)

This week's games are:

San Diego Eagles (7-1) at the Div IV Philadelphia Fish (7-1) - The Fish have a couple of good players for Div IV but the Eagles will be feasting on the fish in this one....

Div II.4 Matchup Super Stars (6-2) vs Rockford (1-7) - Should be a good one but the Stars at home will shine over Rockford; you can file that....

Sungrazers (5-3) vs Div IV Boilers25 (5-3) - No grazing today as the Sungrazers will feast and have Boiler(makers) tonight....

Flying Leopards (3-5) vs Div II Silver Dogs (7-1) - This will be a good one as both teams rested up for this one, I am going to give the Leopards the edge as they are at home (and can jump higher than the dogs.....)

The Bullets (1-7) at Div III BC_Lituanica (5-3) - While the Bullets are on the road, they are laying in wait (rested) for the Lituanicians....another close one.

Serenity Valley Browncoats (7-1) at Div IV Taylor Ducks (2-6) - I dont see the Ducks getting off the ground in this one as the Browncoats will smother them....

EDH Wolves (6-2) at Div III Danbury Mad Hatters (5-3) - Tricky match for the Wolves as the Hatters are at home, as long as Alice doesn't put a spell on them the Wolves will put the bite on the home team....

The Closers (6-2) at Div IV New Orleans Jazz (4-4) - The Closers will name that tune in 4 quarters this week as the Jazz dont have a large enough band.....

Funky Town Fire (5-3) vs Div IV South fayette Reds (8-0) - The Reds are a good Div IV team and are well rested but the Fire have the experience (ie probably wont TIE) and depth for this one, Fire in a barn burner....

Pwnstrz (4-4) vs Div III New York Dragons (4-4) - Not enough magic for the Dragons to own the Pwnstrz this week....

Beware of Dogs (4-4) vs Div IV GODS AND GODDESSES (8-0) - If the Gods and Goddesses had a few more in their pantheon, the Dogs might be leashed but at home the Dogs will escape thier might wrath due to the friendly confines of their pound....

Work in Progress (1-7) vs Div IV Gremlins (8-0) - A third 8-0 Div IV team for us this week...not enough Goonies for the Gremlins this week as WIP is rested and ready at home......

Good Luck all as nobody has a bot this week

...in the trash!! Love these write ups, but don't count Rockford out. We aren't a playoff team this year due to training and the terrible game shape we have been dealing, but I'd be shocked if we get demoted too. We are a different team when we aren't trying to balance minutes with cup wins.
