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.

Hmm, training OD for 2 straight seasons, that's crazy.;) -I may or may not be midway through that process.

True his defense is a little worse than some but I'm not really sure how much because he plays RNG/FCP alot and it seems that would increase his PA by quite a bit. His ratings are still decent- average for both in his last playoff game. Guess I'd have to look at more of his games against good teams to be sure though. And as to his game vs Lakey I think he takes it fairly easily.

Well, if you happen to be halfway through that process, I am guessing its going better for you, because I am sure you don't have PG's with atrocious and pitiful JS :-)

Haha, true, and I'm mostly doing it to test out a theory by the guy doing the cap testing- sorry forgot his name.:(

Not really a theory, more a funny finding that seemed too ridiculous to be true. His first batch of data seemed to indicate that OD has no affect on capping, so I've trained my Star/6th Man potential guys in only OD for like the last season and am still going.

Hey, that's my old league. I knew I recognized you from somewhere. That seems to be how it goes in that league, there's been a string of one team that was heads and shoulders better than everyone else. You have to go back to season 7 to find a season with no 20 win team (and to season 6 before you find a team from the Big 8 promoting, ouch).
