Oh my, you dig out a post from last week that was not even aimed at you to boast your immatriculate track record while claiming not to do just that?

Let me think about an answer...oh i got one:

HAHAHAHAHA

On a serious note: The guy i replied this to bashed a player build he clearly did not understand without offering a reason.
If someone makes bold statements without reason you can only believe that face value and for this you need credibility.
To check someones credibility in BB the track record is a good way to start with and his is just not convincing.
Been in the game for much longer than you or me and always in between fourth and third league.
If someone spends 20 sasions in low leage relegation he is either tanking, builds NT players or is just bad.
My question was aimed to verify the first two options but he did not reply.
I am not believing someone like this without reason and thats what i pointed out in an admittedly quite undiplomatic post.

So in case you are indeed the knight in white armour defending others from unjust posts i regress.

PS: Lemonshine won the relegation in S23...never missed playoffs, hm? Even though this probably was similar to my first season joining last place at the end of the season you lied.

Not to jar all the passengers in this thread too much by attempting to steer the bus back onto the road, but I picked up a Utopia player in the draft who will be quite nice in terms of measuring how he does as his SB is higher than his ID for the next several seasons. He's a classic big man, terrible guard skills (except OD of 6), and then ID 7 and SB 8. I'm scheduled to train SB first thing this season for couple of my older dudes, and so this new guy (let's call him Juan Miguel, because that's his name), will be fairly ferocious going after blocks right away as a backup center. I have a feeling he's going to be foul prone, but we shall see.

I humbly admit that my english is not immaculate.
I also have no problems to admit a mistake should someone else provide convincing arguments.
You, however, provide none.

There are two possibilities for your reply:
A: i was indeed out of line and the reprimand neccessary (nobody else seemed to think so, including the person i replied to) or
B: You see it as your divine mission to put others that violate the rules you imposed on everyone else into their place by making them aware of your moral and intelectual superiority.

Your reply fits into B:

If someone laughes at you you can reinflate your scratched ego by:
1. Make fun out your opponents shortcomings like foreign language skills - check
2. Repeat your statements, the more often you do it the more true they become - check
(some humility would be good for you too)
3. Ignore all arguments, they just distract from your mission - check
4. The rules you set for others dont apply for yourself - check
(derogative comments about a player someone trained for 11 saisons without offering any reason or point of view is much more demeaning in my book than a question about a trade deficit.

a comment which is personal and is clearly demeaning towards the other person is a low blow. And if that's allowed, so are my replies.

I wonder how you would have reacted if the player in question would have been one of yours...)
5. Your own experience is universally applicable to anyone else, research is just a waste of time - check
(The german fourth league i started in had 14 human managers, the playoff contenders had fully build arenas and 200k teams. I thought it more beneficial to invest in the draft, train and build my arena the first saisons than trying to force PO with some old players even though it now blemishes your idea of an immaculate track record)
6. Utter some gibberish to make the other one feel stupid when he does not get it - check
(what does: "Oh, and for the record your post was not directed at you either. Does that make us partners in crime? Shall we agree to not do this again, especially if we're not irreprehensible ourselves? Thank you for understanding." even mean?
My post was not directed at me? No, i dont tend to soliloquies)

Sorry for being offtopic again @everyone

On topic:
It is a pity that Heak does not consistently play in the team setting he was made for, that would give much more info than some NT minutes.

he will be foul prone not because of SB, but rather because of the face he was born with. The scowl sporting fellows were born with a tendency to foul. I will have the same challenges with the hairless wonder I drafted.

I agree. He has a fouling face, for sure.
But check out this terrified draftee from my main team.

Based on his face, I'm pretty sure he'd rather hide behind the scorer's table than go into the game when called upon.

Are you speaking of Humberto as the hairless wonder? Come on, man, he's still got some hair. You're going to make him self conscious.
