Kiwi,
My good friend. So nice to see you again. Congrats on a great previous yr for you. Let me know if you need anything. Always good to hear from you.

PS- okc vs Denver game 1 was one of the best games I've seen all yr. I want Nene in NJ haha


Welcome to all the new teams. Please waste all your enthusiasm on Rocket Science. No seriously, welcome to the league. If I can help you guys in any way please let me know. Good luck to you all. Lets get this thing going.

This is going to be a tough season from me as age has caught up with my team - It is also a little crazy that a weak team like mine has 2 rivals!

I shall most likely keep status quo and TIE for league games while concentrating on the cup... except for Astral who is likely to CT me again... :)

Welcome all and have fun! :) it is after all a game.

Thanks for the tip - looks like I too have multiple rivals~

Just hoping to survive a round in the Cup this season...

I knew your name looked familiar. I get Rocket Science who preceded me promoting out of a division a short while ago. What goes around...

yes. it looks like most of the teams on our side of the league are all-round good defense at all 5 positions with 1-3 scorers depending on outside or inside preference. It is going to be tough, and some specific match-ups are going to be a nightmare.

Star Flier's Ronald Trickle is just ridiculous. I guess that is the true benefit of focused one-position training. Interesting indeed...

I agree.

Losing the top two teams (and one from each division) has really opened up the level of competition so that there is no clear dominant team at this point. I would argue that (myself excluded) our division provided the strongest Cup performance as well, which adds another interesting variable for this season.It will be interesting to see how and when teams will purchase players to get an advantage.

Great 8 had some nice away wins to start the season.

Looking at the matchups:
Big 8
Rojos vs. McM - easy blowout based off lineup (home win)
Clan vs. Fort - nice home win with an enthusiasm advantage (lower than the opponent). Granger lit things up as usual.
Thunder vs. East - nice home win with an enthusiasm advantage
Reston vs. KSP - nice home win with an enthusiasm advantage. Wallis torched my SG.

Great 8
Astral vs. Chaos - nice home win, equal enthusiasm
Gs vs. GB - nice OT win away TV win but cost enthusiasm
Dig vs. Miners - nice away win, equal enthusiasm - great game by Timoteo
Rocket vs. Star - nice away win, equal enthusiasm - great game by Carbon (who only had 2! fouls). Trickle should prove nasty once his GS gets a bit higher.

Well, here goes.

Game Two helped to even most of the teams up from Game 1...

Start off with my tanking game vs. McM. Glad I could help you out with your point differential and pump up Week's stats!
Got to love my Cup draw against a quality Div 2 team...

Rojos are on top of the standings with a nice OT win. They did use higher enthusiasm, so really bad luck for East. An 0-2 start is pretty deceptive for a strong East team.

Kiwi had a strong win vs. Clan Granger. An early rival game win for KSP will help those fan ratings...

Hard fought match between Thunderclan and Red Fort. Almost identical stat lines for shooting and rebounding. However the killer was all the fouls called against the visitors and Red made them pay at the line. Nice time, pay off the refs, Thunderclan!

On the other side of the bracket

Astral tops the standings with another quality win. New C Kuntzi paying dividends early for Astral. GS felt the effects of the previous OT thriller.

Rocket put together another efficient performance in the win. Carbon shocks all by not fouling out again. The power inside game of the Ginger Balls is looking for some answers.

Thriller of the week award went to DFC and current season league MVP Timoteo with a tough putback in traffic with a second to go. Rough ending for the Fliers, especially since star Trickle had just hit the go-ahead jumper and it looked like a key away win.

Classic inside vs. outside matchup with the Miners and Lords. Miners poured in 10 3s, but a hyper-efficient 46 out of 90 shooting percentage put the Lords on top. 13-3 in steals also leaves the Miners looking for some ball handling from the guards who can shoot the lights out. 29 assists by the Lords was also an impressive stat.

All the best for everyone for their Cup games...

Ardain,

Geez, where was this cool recap the past few seasons? Now that I have left you start the recaps? Or was it finally getting rid of the Chunks that made you come out of your shell? LOL. Good luck to all. I'll be back and better than ever.
