Yes, you were down by only 4 when he fouled out with about 7-8 minutes left and lost by 15. Before that it had been pretty even.

Not to brag or anything but I still have the largest point differential in the entire league

Ha! Not for long, that's my team goal this season.

that would be unanticipated, if the changes to the game engine concerning SB included a "punishment" for low levels as well as the expected benefits for higher levels.

but it is too early to say -- chalk it up to a statistical fluke. i have a couple of players whose FT ratings and results are quite at odds so far this season.

You have a great team, and he most likely would not have made a difference in the outcome. I just wanted to whine a little about my player’s behavior change. : )

Oh, I did not mean to imply an intentional punishment was added to the game engine. I was just wondering if an unintended byproduct of the change might be more fouls for bad shot blockers. I think you are probably right, and it is just a statistical fluke. I know we see statistical oddities all the time in BB, like you mentioned with FT percentages, or a team being hit with multiple injuries, etc.

I think more likely has to do with the opponent and how the player is guarding...

i thought Lion Pride's pickup, a very capable big man, was very good. given a different set of circumstances, like refs who did not think breathing by the visiting team was a foul, then his squad would have whipped mine.


Not just a foul, but if last season is any indication, wearing a LionPride road jersey is considered a felony now in several states. But at least oriolekid is rocking a tasteful Princeton offense so far.

It is getting ridiculous. I could not be called for more fouls if I were playing rugby on the court. I would be near undefeated if I were called for just above average fouls.

8 of the fouls happened in the last 1:12, so not as bad as it looks. Your guys do foul a lot, but I don't think that's gonna change. Probably worth looking into swapping out some of the higher fouling guys. But I don't think you would have won tonight anyway, the pp100 wasn't very close.

I find it very entertaining that with my team the way it is, and my level one PR manager, that I still make 6k above the league average on Merchandise...

the only way you're going to get my Gary March jerseys is to pry them out of my cold, dead hands. i've got three for work, two for sleeping in, i got married in one, and i give them to all my relatives and friends for birthdays and Christmas. i also got at your stadium store the ESPN documentary on his life before being drafted and his terrible struggle to overcome his drug addiction and his need to support all his illegitimate kids. and i also have the bobble-head doll. and the hat.

My merchandise is more than $10,000 below the league average. you've got Gary March, i've got Allen Ngo.
