Someone had to do it.

Interesting group. Sandy Springs is just down the road. There was a team called Cookies and Kareem in my first league. Archers of Loaf were one of those bands I could never tell if I liked or not. I am a big Celtics fan, although I have no idea where Breslau is. I could probably go stream of consciousness with the rest of you but it's late. So best of luck.

Thanks for starting it lol. And welcome to DIII.2.

It’ll be an interesting season for sure, probably early favorites will be Springfield, South Slugs (depending what he does with his roster) Or myself. It will be a slow start to the season for me as I face both early favorites back to back and just starting the training of my big men. But as the season goes on I’m pretty sure I’ll be at or near the top. That’s my hope anyway lol so we’ll see.

Good luck to EVERYONE though. It should be a fun season.

You’ve got a nice roster, several young guys. My guys are older, honestly I have a two season window and if I don’t win I’m probably going to rebuild. I’m jealous of the young talent you’re working with. I’m not sure how good my team will be, I’ll have two new starters in the lineup this season so we’ll see.

Yea I struggled with roster turnover every other season because I had more old guys than young. I kept trying to figure out how to remain competitive and young but couldn’t quite crack the code. So i figured the only way was to sell shop, save money, and start with one position group and train up. Once finished they should be 24-25ish and then buy trainees for the other position groups. So far it’s working but we’ll see how they perform as a team. I thought I had a good team a couple seasons back and lost miserably lol.

A little short on depth right now as I don’t have much for a backup SG/SF and my backup big men is still in training and pretty raw.

That roster is good enough to compete for sure. Even if your guys are a year away they'll still be plenty young. If your team is better than mine these next 1-2 seasons I might be hitting you up for some team building advice! haha

Haha! I can’t see them being better until maybe the end of the season. My centers are gonna be EXPENSIVE.
If I don’t win, doubt I can afford them. My highest paid center will be over 100k for sure.
I don’t know, I can see the last couple weeks leading to the playoffs being exciting.

Honestly don't know how we won on the road getting out rebounded 50-27. It was frustrating giving them so many second chances.

Yea... that’s kinda crazy lol.
I think it was the fact you forced 19 TO’s, hit 8 treys while he played a 2-3 zone. Your team shot a high percentage overall. You only had 27 rebounds because you really didn’t miss a lot. And your team played good defense. You need a lot to overcome a 50-27 rebound disadvantage, and you got it.

My starting center (my best rebounder) only played 16 minutes due to foul trouble so that didn’t help. But I was impressed with my team outside of that. I don’t know how good I feel about my chances this season though. Orlando appears to be all in along with Cookies and Stags. Celtics are solid, your team are contenders and others. The rebuild may start early if we’re out of the contender picture later in the season.

Well this looks like it’s gonna be a very competitive season. We have a bunch of solid teams and I haven’t seen a D3 stacked league like this in a while. Good luck to everyone!

I personally am trying to fly up back to the NBBA again after I blew up my team when I was there to focus on being the NT coach. But looks like I may have some complications on my way there and I think this time around it will be a lot more challenging to get there.

On a side note, I know many of you are very skilled managers in this game but for anyone who would like advice on training or the GE or anything BB related for that matter feel free to shoot me a BB-mail I would be glad to help out!
