first congrats hippo on making the way to Div II.3! Hope you do well up there and continue to shine as a III.12er XD
There are some aspects in game 3 that resulted the 21 point win. first of all, the tactics wasn't as good. Personally think that if I have played LI I should stand more chance. Secondly, GS was a big issue. The Overtime in the Semi's with Be High really hurt and my bench wasn't good enough for me to rest my starters. over the Final's my GS was poorer comparing to your team, plus David Burbery was on respectable for the 3 games due to the late injury. Moreover, your trainee is more rounded. I don't know your trainee's skills, but since they are 1 or two years older, they should at least have a similar level of primary skills as to mine. However you trained their inside skills for a whole season (don't know if it's correct) so they can play more position and have much better secondary skills. If you have seen the game (which I did for the second half), my starting C was injured in the third quarter and never returned. It just blew away my chances of having a comeback. All of the above plus the HCA you have in the thrid game should cover all the deficit you have of the enthusiasm.
Well this is what I can conclude after the game and hope that it answers your questions. Anyway, all the best hippos in Div II and with any luck I wish to join the ranks soon :)
