Thank you

If im lucky enough to win this seasons B3, that might just happen as I would have an on going interest in B3

We could use total salaries list, for predictions contest. I'm so lazy this season, I just marked right("home") teams on the least :)

I will try and get up some more facts up later tonight, however my previous posts on each quarter of the draw of the final 32 did have a rough players salary figures and was configured in such a way that it showed who was playing who and had live links to each team so that game shapes etc could be checked

Perhaps more people would get involved in the B3 predictions competition if they knew that this thread existed

Great stats , thanks

well that took a surprising turn

(75264064)

Why base offense ? :(

Why base offense ?

Why not?

Well first off congratulations to brand42 he is obviously a great Manager as his record of 4 past trips to the semis in B3 testifies.

Given that I had 7 players rate higher than his best player and that his 2nd best player didnt out rank any of my 9 players, I got to say that I am some what bewildered by the result.

i.e. the 6 worst rating players on the court were his and some of them were by a long way

Somewhat bewildered that his guards got off 23 assists given the legendary OD of my guards but I guess its equally puzzling that his his team got more steals than mine or that Than Nan could only hit 3 of 14 shots and 0 from 6 given his skills.

B3 will always be known by myself going forward as B4 (BuzzerBeaters Best Bulls..t) and I guess if I ever needed a sign that I was spending too much time on an online game then this result confirms it

I expected the game engine to keep things close, but not to make a joke of the integrity of the game

Good luck to everyone moving forward in the tournament
