Wow, my schedule kind of sucks this season. A 22-0 team is my rival. My first TV game was on the road & i got CT'd. My second TV game is also on the road, vs. an undefeated team that has previously CT'd me 2 or 3 times in a row. And I get 2 real cup opponents in the first 3 weeks.




Thanks for knocking out those real teams for us, sure does help! Here's hoping you overlook our game sandwiched between everything as the battle for second place gets dirty.

Where have all the cowboys gone?

While I'm happy that my coach doled out a very nice distribution of minutes for Game Shape purposes, I could have used a bit more time on the floor for my starters. It's pretty amazing, though. Normally, in close game or when I lose, a couple of my guys play 40 minutes. Not even close this game.

I didn't see the game or look at the play by play, but if this happens a lot of times it may be because there are long stretches where there simply are no substitutions because there are no fouls or balls thrown out of bounds (however, the rebound out of bounds doesn't trigger a sub opportunity, unfortunately). Usually I notice that more in games where I'm running a slower offense and about the time where I'd expect some of my backups to start trickling in, we go on the typical five-minute run where neither team scores more than four points, but nobody throws the ball away or fouls either, or calls a timeout.

How is that a bad thing? After multiple CT's in a row, you might be the second most lethargic team on the floor in that matchup. Does seem like a bit of a scheduling quirk to play one team so many times in a row though unless you're in one of those inter-state rivalry series like the one me and Jason had in S22.

I think you're misreading that. In this case, 2 or 3 times in a row means that they had a falling out in the past (think of the definition of "row" that rhymes with 'Yao'), and so in bitter retribution, the opponent CTs them.

I don't see what the problem is either, personally; if SFW CT's Lethargy, that just means reduced enthusiasm when they face TF and maybe they'll CT that too, and they face me a week later. I think shikago should be excited for how nicely this will work out for me, as if there was any other frame of reference available until the league manages to overcome my postseason ineptitude and allow me to fail up one more division.

There is really nothing personal. It was just a coincidence that most times when I played you I desperately needed a win.

Silverbacks are back! :) I feel like one of those protagonists in a horror film running into companions.

That's good.

In more "I'll never understand this game" stuff, my game tonight is more evidence that whatever calculation creates the estimated points per 100 shots is broken as hell. The leading position for PP100 in the game was my SG position, estimated at 106.4 PP100, so of course my SG's combined for 15 points on 23 shots. Meanwhile, SVB's SG position was estimated at 77.1 PP100 and of course put up 22 points on 22 shots. Of course, it's not one-sided, as in an inside offense SVB's center position was estimated at 69.2 PP100 and put up 0 points on 11 shots.
