How did everyone elses first round of playoffs go? I advanced with a 75-51 normal victory so I'm happy about that. Not another team in our leagues playoffs scored below 103 pts in round 1, so that's kinda wierd.

I figured you'd cruise. You have a rock solid team.

I won 81-69 which I'm not surprised by. It's the next game that my team is going to need to step up big. He's the regular season champion and undefeated. This may seem daunting, but I had a chance to beat him in the regular season, but TIE'd.
I feel I have about a 40% chance of winning. We will see next week.

I won a playoff normal 111-74 against a team that has given me trouble in the past but my starting SG got injured and I play a 21-1 team in the semi finals

Ouch, that's terrible. I know I'd be lost without either of my starting guards... Hope he recovers in time.

He is out for 2 weeks so he won't. My main game is inside and his only strong point was prolific defense so I think i will bring in my back up SF who has Sensational Jump shot to start at the SG and my starting SF will have to play the whole game because my 3rd string SF is way to horrible to use in a league game.

If anyone wants to see an absolute heartbreaker looks at my game.

Why in the hell were my backups in, in the most important moments of a very winnable road playoff game?

Ouch, darn Coach...

And just checked in on my old D.IV and I have to say I'm pretty happy I demoted down to D.V and back up to D.IV, not sure if I could have competed with these guys http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/28396/overview.aspx- wowsers that might be the best D.IV team I've seen all season.

I have to dissagree with you on this...no disssrespect to that team, they are very solid...but no way are they even close to the best in DIV. You, me, and 3 other teams in my league, plus others would have no problem facing that team in the playoffs and moving right past them. He has an elite offense no doubt...but even the best offenses in BB struggle against solid to great defenses...His defense isnt even average....that team gives up an incredible amount of points. Any great defensive team would hold that team 20-30 points below his scoring average, and that team would have a tough time stopping people from scoring.

His next opponent Lakey, looks like they might have the best defense in that league...if Lakey has been managing their enthusiasm well, wouldnt surprise me to see him pull the upset.

I don't know Jason. Me First has only used worst two defenses in BB that I could see (2-3 and FCP). Have him play a real defense and his lackluster defensive ratings become more....luster. And Me First has something rare in D4, awesome depth.

Well, let me give you an example....(26257792) I was working with this other team for a bit helping him out until he drove me insane from his crazy illogical questions. This team (prior to me offering him any help), trained nothing but OD for 2 seasons. As a result, he has some very strong OD, but at the time of this game, he had absolutely no offensive weapons at all. To me this illustrates how a team with a great defense can slow down a team like Me First. Understand, this other team didnt just have a below average offense, he had a horrific offense! So a team with a solid defense would absolutely slow Me First down, and if that team can score too, I think it would be enough to get over the top against them.
