Just noticed that one of my former players has been injured since 4/14/2012!!!
(23477229)
Seems the doctors keep telling him he'll get better soon, but the truth is he never will. A career ending injury at the age of 19, & the remainder of his life to be led as a cripple...

Less effort, on the road vs. The Bruins...
In the words of Stuart Scott: boo-yah!
The Milwaukee Lethargy defeat a team with arguably the biggest home/road disparity (performance-wise) over the past few seasons. Even overcoming 16(!) missed FTs.


Welcome to NBBA Lore, Presented by IBM

Longtime NBBA fans surely remember the most ungentlemanly Bruins CT the last day of the regular season. When the Bruins unexpectedly threw away any possible chance of winning a playoff game, opting instead to CT BuzzerBeater's #1 offense. But did you know that their decision had societal consequences in addition to lost attendance?

Commercial: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pNGO5ppfQ8)

Said ex-Bruin fan Armando Christian Pérez, "That's the day I vowed never to attend another Bruins basketball game & instead devote 100% of my disposable income on my Pitbull 'music' & persona. dale." On 4/21/2012, the Bruins had close to 8,000 empty seats for a league game. Among those not in attendance, Pitbull. Would Pitbull be the media scourge he became had the Bruins not made their fateful decision? The world will never know.

I've been losing games to Zane Ritter since Season 9 (15132249) and apparently that's a continuing trend.

Meh, i'm sure you'll get me in the return game. I'm just concerned about my team, there's a distinct lack of balance and i'm waaay under performing my salary... Ritter may be gone soon!

Happy to keep him given the current NT GS climate. Once we start getting what we need from the others, i'll look into the market. :)

I actually think the problem with my team is that it's actually too balanced. lol

I'd like to think that 5 of the 8 games being tank-fests are an unusual occurrence.

I hope so. Mine was purely related to my cup game, and i'll be interested to see how this is addressed in the upcoming rule changes. :)

wow, i completely missed the S20 news.
i don't see how they would eliminate tanking though. didn't they already do something to make it less profitable than it used to be? (salary floor + the demotion penalty for much of the following season).

as for late in the season tanking (as opposed to full season tanking)...
they didn't exactly help things with their really awful 5th place "fix" a while back...
