I think the balance is in a pretty ok place. LI was really popular in B3, you need the right team for it now as opposed to being the default go-to so if anything that's a good thing.

I've discussed it on the discord but I don't think SB will get nerfed. Feels like it's finally useful instead of salary dead weight and the OP feeling will either fade over time or the meta will adapt.

I do agree about 3-2, that seems like it might get nerfed a bit. 3-2 and the "SB+PA bigs with no scoring skills" could use some toning down IMO.

I'm traveling for the holidays so I can keep posting the BM summaries but might be late like this until I get back home

Well that was a very tough and puzzling home loss. Pretty sure that is going to cost me later.

(@TarTeam)
Wow, I knew we'd played a lot but didn't realize it was 22 games -- and no scrims or PLs or PUs!
And you're fairly well up on me in those head to heads at 13-9 :)
I wouldn't say I'm a superteam anymore but I'm not an easy out. See you soon for #23 and #24!

Yes, even though we last met in season 52, I've checked my rivalry history again and you're the manager I've met most on BB. The balance will probably be restored a little this season. I don't have what it takes to beat you. GL!

Every game today was at equal effort except for 10" sniping Splash Gang with 0:00 free throws on extra road effort.
