What a finish in tonight's game of the round. The Gladiators travelled to confront the Vikings after a string of wins on the home stretch. Despite being on the road against higher ranked opposition and potential playoff contenders the Gladiators made most of the running in the first period. The 16 point lead shocked the heavily favoured Vikings into gear who came out and cut the margin over the two middle periods. Heading into the 4th things were pretty much on par, however the momentum was firmly with the home side. The momentum continued to head away from the Gladiators as they began to look over-awed in front of the hone fans. With 1.02 on the clock the Vikings held a commanding 94-102. It took only 5 seconds for the visitors to get down the court and close the margin to 5. Only seconds late the lead was cut to within 2 points courtesy of back to back triples from the Gladiator guards. The vikings held firm at the line an kept their lead as time ran down. With 13 seconds left the Gladiators managed to finally tie it up after a missed FT attempt and some clutch shooting. The elation however was short-lived as Lopez shattered Gladiators dreams with a buzzerbeater for the win. Both managers should be happy with the result which showed their players could do the business down the streth under extreme pressure.

What the?? As exciting as that game would have been I am dumbfounded... Looking at the ratings it looks like my guys should've been light years ahead.. Hmmm, Bains you may have just killed my spirit, I am not sure whether a single addition would be enough for me to trully challenge this season anymore :(

Well played by your guys, even out of position with G-Adder in the middle.

Haha ezlife said the same thing when I showed him. He described my ratings as 'horribad'. After selling Izmailov I was forced to start Phillips at SF, so i essentially thought it was game over from the start. What also confuses me is my enth wasn't that great before the game, it was in your homecourt and G-Adder was out of position in average GS. It does give me great confidence for the future.

I wouldn't be too disheartened, you had a player or two in respectable GS, plus my team has always been competitive, the deep cup run has made it hard to win games. But on the way home I have beaten Meteors, Go Aussie and RED so far. And I would expect wins against Donkeys and Aussierulez aswell.

The only thing that disheartens me is I think you a re firmly in control of our rivalry :p

I would expect wins against Donkeys

Expect??? Looks like it is worth loading up just prove a point. Or not, I don't mind a loss at this stage of the season, trying to re shuffle my roster.

Haha thus why I expect a win. You seem content to slide as low as 5th. Plus you don't want to put your good old mate into a tough relegation series do you?

hahah good old mate?????

I am focused on my trainees atm so you should be fine but I have saved up a CT for one lucky team.

trying to appeal to your kinder nature although being a bunch of asses i am not sure if their is one!

If you CT then i will have to deal with that. If i need to win a hard relegation series... so be it

Some interesting salary stats. I at least just assumed WA would be well above the rest, however he is only 5th on that list. sure YPB's and RED might not make the PO's but he is a decent way behind the Breakers. But then it does come down to the fact that he will most likely have HCA against JW and Breakers. should be a fun conclusion.

Nice work and +1 for the asses comment :)

I don't feel as bad anymore bains knowing that our salaries are around the same amount... For now!!

I did however add 67k this morning so you need to take that into account.

Dropping very unsubtle hints that the Vikings mean to ball hard in the postseason

Interesting write ups! Enjoyed reading them all!
Good to know I'm not throwing away the most money for wins haha
I don't like my chances against WA or Breakers now... Though going to give it a shot regardless.
Nice purchase Bainsy, a potential future AUS NT player?
