Great (but overly violent) game (12702711). If not for key injuries to bronic and fabiano, sculpins would have won.

You've got to be kidding me.

Those two were the two huge matchups for me, too. Fabiano vs. the kids, and Bronic's scoring game matched up with a center at SF. I can't believe I played the second half that close with both of them out for the whole thing.

Bronic is gone for 3 weeks now, and a decent reserve (Carrasquel) for one. Luckily Fabiano escaped.

What a freakin' disaster.

P.S. This was deju va all over again (except worse): (53959.8) (8126349)

Congratulations to the other three teams in the Final Four - especially the Thoroughbreds who have taken out two Naismith teams.

And hard times for the Sculpins continues with another big injury ...

Congrats to all the team that made the Final Four, I'm still a little peeved about that loss. Flow and rebound killed me I guess.

Should make some nice matches.

BTW, congrats on the GM!

A quick final four preview. I may or may not write something about each match before gametime.

looks like the sculpin curse is hitting me right before the bbb final - neacsu is out.

Not good... hopefully it's short.

(P.S. I had another 2-week injury today... luckily only to $1K scrimmage fodder this time. Odd run, though.)

If I were you I would find myself a new doctor. Level 6 or not, that's just not right.

At least I can move Vyberal over to sf - not as good at rebounding or shooting as nicolae, but can handle the defensive assignments.
