well, Joe has a simular problem :P

if you look carefully at his players, you'll find out pretty fast that most of his key players all have played 48+ minutes already.

considering the B3, in which he's doing very well, aswell as the league, he'll have to make some decisions in terms of who he plays where and how much...

i got a III team, but i wasn't 100% sure to win for one, and 2) all my starters already have played their minutes, aswell as my top 2 back ups... so i gotta make some decisions too. i wasn't expecting a III team anymore. was kinda expecting a II or BBBL team.

my goal was to stay in the cup till allstar week, so that i could maximize my training... so now, i'm wondering if i should push on or not... with so many BBBL and II teams left, chances of progressing aren't great. on the other hand, staying in the cup saves you the pain of having to find a scrimmage :P

everyone has simular problems during allstar week, so its hope for the best, and expect the worst.

Revo

ps: you got home court advantnage, and HCA in this stage of the cup can really make a big difference...

After TumasStars I hoped to have an easier game, but I got one of the worst draw. I had kept some good players (Berte, Van Praet, Otvetchikov,... And Thys has "only" 50 minutes) and my next B3 game is not too difficult. The problem is the next BBBL games which are very difficult. Maybe I can speculate on a win of Sum against Stonestars, and so I could use a joker next week. Wait and see...


That's a "little" advantage of not beeing anymore in the cup competition... it's that i will play 100% my championship games... compared to the teams still playing the cup that, if playing fully against me, could finish with a 0/3 for their week... that's a risk but a big one for sure... and therefore, in case sum (as well as the other teams) will still be in the cup competition, he would not have a lot of reason to play fully and took the risk to loose everything for a not so interesting game for him as he will be in the playoffs nevertheless... On my side, i will not take risks for sure to stay as close as possible of the N°10 team of the world....

I saw it comming from the start of the game. Playing away is always risky, and yes indeed, you where lucky.

Maybe you learned a lessen now, I have learned about 8 or so seasons ago... I was less lucky back then.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

i'll keep trying, till i manage to defeat you one day. but first, i gotta beat Joe. once i've beaten Joe, i will have beaten atleast everyone once who i played in the IV or III division... (he knocked me out of the PO's in my first season on BB. still gotta repay him the favor, tho i'll just try and get a win against him :P)

You can always try :p


I thought you would reply: "you can always dream." :D


well, for now, it might be dreaming. but in 2 seasons time, you never know :P

i gambled, i lost... crunching against joe in the last round cost me a lot, but i least i tried. i felt i needed to spice it up a bit this season, especially since stonestars and joe were way above in the conference, and since the wizzards and tuma were 3 games behind. Unfortunately, i didnt get any easy round lately with 3 consecutive bbbl teams, whereas sum for instance got a III. but that's the game best of luck to all remaining candidates...
