Just wondering, Ron Swanson, why did you crunch time me?

some late season observations:

-- i am amazed and impressed Coco did not come on "to curse God and die" for getting such a devastating injury. this has been a tough year for someone used to success, and he has handled it well.

-- i think the Big 8 has a monopoly on ambitious teams this season. UK has already made its roster moves, and positioned itself for the advance into the NBBA. with its most recent move, Senecaville, announces that UK can expect a challenge.

-- in the Great 8, good teams have all but announced "wait til next season". Lake Merritt will be sorely tempted to translate Nielson into two very good players, and Redbull has been devastated by injuries that has limited their progress. The Bruins keep chugging along, but have yet to make a roster move that would push them definitively past the finals. those new limits on GS transfers has had the effect intended -- the window to move probably closes this next week.

-- having played Redbull twice in a couple of days, i must say i am impressed with that squad; when Inter Kac gets all his players back and he is on top of GS., they will have nasty depth. age is a problem, however.

-- my heart goes out to oriolekid, who lost a heartbreaker against Window Lickers. if he had won, then he had a decent chance of staying in DII. now he needs a serious break or two . . .two games down with four to play.

-- fwiw, i think Ron Swanson CTing assured him of the playoffs. CTing Lake Merritt was more of an ambush.

has anybody formed any opinions on the new Game Day Planning?

What they said. My game with Coco lined up nicely for taking a free shot (which I needed to squeak out the win too), and then our game, between injuries and being on the road I figured it was my only chance at winning. And if I win this one and it costs me the next, at least this one was a TV game.

Lost on a buzzerbeater shot. On my home field. No matter. I screwed up that game by forgetting to set my lineup against Coco. It's the same lineup I would have played, but for some reason my default effort is Normal(why? I know I've set it at TIE several times before). I had already normalled the game before, and I wasn't going to normal three games in a row. So instead I went with a 2-3 zone, and it almost worked. Sad.

default lineup always plays normal, even if you save a default lineup, it won't save the enthusiasm. only way to set enthusiasm is to go into each game individually and change it.

this was weird:

i am watching my scrubs fall further and further behind the Bruins. Around 8 minutes to go in the second period. thought i would scout my opponent on Thursday. check him out via Buzzer Manager. turn to my Edit Current Lineup for that game and i see that Shadi Nadr, currently playing in tonight's game is injured -- his name is in red.

that's strange, i thought, returning to my game with the Bruins. and i see Nadr is still playing, fit as a fiddle, and leading my team in rebounds from his SG position.

now i am wondering: will Nadr get injured tonight? for several games, at least past Thursday?

such drama. actually, it is kinda spooky.

Nadr went down as i was writing the note.

for how long?

holy crap.

nadr is already listed on the league's injury report -- out for two weeks.

interesting bug.
