With only one game left in the regular season, it looks like the playoff teams are set, though the order may change still. Anybody care to make a prediction for how the playoffs will turn out? My prediction will be my team vs. MrWinless in the championship.

well, well, I hated some things I saw and others made me giggle in my first game. especially loved the center getting a double double before the start of the 4th quarter and the nice shooting from Mr. Seitz. however, I had a player that took FOURTY THREE SHOTS and only got 25 points. this was a game high but it was also about 25% shooting. he also had a team high in turnovers. also had problems with foul trouble, having nobody foul out but 2 guys with 4 fouls and 2 guys with 2 or more by the 6 minute mark in the first half. overall, though, I simply have to remember that I held the lead the whole way and won by 18, and be happy with it. definetly going to make a couple changes going into the next game, but I'm pretty happy where I started.

Welcome to BB, from a former member of league V.72 (still the best damn Division 5 league in teh USA!).

Just wanted to point out that the offensive tactic you chose, patients, it what led Paige to attempt so many shots. In Patient, your team tries to fine the player who has the biggest mismatch against his defender, and then that player will take a TON of shots. If you want a more balanced type of offense, where the shots taken will be more spread out, then you could try base offense, or even inside isolation (which is a little more biased towards inside shots than base, but not much actually).

Paige's turnovers could have been because his handling or passing skills were a bit low, or perhaps just because he had the ball so often.

Just holler out if you have other questions. I'm always happy to help new users get their feet. A good place to start is the FAQ here: (144856.1)

Look to schedule a scrimmage for next week, which you can do between Friday and Tues (I think). they're useful mostly for training players, but also for testing tactics. During the normal season, I wouldn't suggest playing your starters in scrimmages much.

Welcome again!

hmm. since this is the last week of the season, I'm thinking about just changing the lineup a little and keeping the team the way it is. I've got 2 different players on the floor for the next game (I dont know how, but I accidentally put a Point guard as my center when I was setting up my first lineup). one of 'em didnt play last time and another came off the bench, but played alright when he was in.

hey guys, I gots a question. after the REGULAR season ends (which it does in about 24 hours, win or lose) about how long is it until the start of the next one usually?

EDIT: screw that, I have more important matters to attend to. the game has screwed me, it appears. if Assault team beats Warriors Select, I will have to play in a relegation game assuming I dont win by around 300 points. I got here 4 days ago, and I'm already about to be demoted, with a 2-0 record? WHAT THE HECK?! I swear, if I have to play another season just to get back where I am, while another team that shows up on the same day gets free passage to next season with a worse record since they've appeared (Assault team) .. I'd kill someone, because that'd be a load of bull.

Don't worry, even if you loose the relegation series, you won't change leagues. You won't ever go lower than Division 5 USA.

After tomorrow's home game, if you are in a relegation series, you'll play the first game of that on Tuesday. You'll be able to play a scrimmage on Thursday. If you aren't in the relegation, you'll only play the Thursday scrimmage.

If you're in relegation, you'll have the 2nd of 3 games on the following Saturday. If needed, the 3rd game will be that SUnday. If not in relegation, you'll automatically have a scrimmage scheduled.

On the Monday monday, the seasons will change, the draft will happen, and your current players get one year older. You'll get a scrimmage that Thursday, and then the first league game of the next season happens the next Saturday.

Does that help?

The Division 6 leagues are there to help ensure that everyone gets a cup draw, and that the cup lasts a certain number of weeks. The national cup championship should occur on the last week of the season. It's this Thursday.

Also, if the game were to add enough users, some of those could go into D6 leagues. I think there are some human users in D6 for Italy and/or Spain, the two largest countries in BB.

Took a tough loss on the road to end the season. but the bright side is taking a loss earned me a couple extra games to work out the kinks with the team. despite putting paige in a different position, the patient offense still determined him to take most of the shots as opposed to the more sure-handed Teddy Seitz. and nobody on my team shot for jack crap, with only one player exceeding 50% and many missed DUNKS (wtf?!). in the end though, what did me in was the turnover margin. my team committed 8 more turnovers

As for the championship/MVP, as I've only been in the league for 3 games I'll leave that to the sane people in the league and focus on the relegation series, I suppose, since I want to end this season with a positive league record.

My predictions are for the Eagles and the Tigers in the first round in the Big 8, and MrWinless and an upset from the Vipers out of the Great 8. The championship will be between my team and MrWinless with the Eagles winning 2-0, maybe 2-1.

For MVP, my prediction is O'Byrne from MrWinless' team. He leads the league in scoring and second in rebounding.
