Yea Kan and Maddaloni scored a combined 85 for him but Glass and Rojas scored a combined 93 for me. I was trying to get cute with my minutes and as has been the case most seasons, I ended up wildly underestimating my opponent. He tied the game like 4 times in the last minute of the 4th quarter and I stormed back from a 9 point deficit with like 1:30 in the first OT. What might've won the game for me is my awful trainee finally fouling out so the engine could replace him with someone less awful. Crazy game. And my GS was in trouble even before this with my starting SF being out for all but the first 12 minutes of my game on Saturday this week.

Very happy to still be in Cup though. With the way the league is looking, I may use this second life as a sign that this is the season I should actually prioritize advancing in the cup and punt a few league games.

my fate is just the opposite. after this week, i join Anchorage on the sidelines, watching the Cup action from afar . . .

it's amazing how one's season can almost instantaneously drive right off into the ditch.

Oh the cup is one cruel mistress., the 'morning headlines' say it all....


GLASS SEALING, Cacti subdue game Generals club 137-132 in double OT

BRINGING ON THE HEARTBREAK, Cacti take advantage of generous Generals collapse to complete third round cup comeback

ANOTHER CUP CALAMITY, Generals upset bid spoiled by Glass and Rojas combination as late collapse seals their fate again.



I was actually on the road coming back from visiting my son so I did not get to see this contest unfold, but from what Dunkface passed along it did sound like a five star affair.

So we both think we are going to lose this game?

On a side note....Announcement to the League:

On 4/1/2016 Hassan Donnelly and myself will hold a joint podcast teaching about the benefits of positive thinking. We hope you all get a lot out of it!

But you probably won't.

Well on that note, I am taking this merry band of hackers I have assembled all the way to the round of 32!

You are learning, but have a long ways to go:

Losing is not just some random result, it is the judgment of the universe artfully attained. Not just anyone can lose -- you have a great deal of trouble achieving it, for example -- it is an approach, a mindset that must be cultivated over a long period.

To wit: in our game, we will both lose, but one of us will be less of a loser than the other.

That is the zen of losing.
