How in the world did they manage to pull off those ratings? This is only their second season. They do have 3 or 4 guys who are about 9-10K but it doesn't warrant anything near what they pulled off. That's messed up.

I don't know if it is still like this, but ratings used to always be higher when you play an OT game. It is a "feature" of the ratings.

Some quick hits on tonight's games:

I never noticed my low comparative turnover rate until now. By the way, even Wayne Andrews would guess that a ptb is coming our way.

One point lead after the first. Krinner is burning Wayne Andrews, outscoring him 13-0. I expect plenty more is to come.

Looks like Andrews' experience with the Trojans (http://pickering.ddsbschools.ca/dev/) just doesn't cut it at this level.

well, he just through down a powerful two-handed dunk. amazing!

Dear game engine...

Four fouls in the first 17 minutes on my top big (... continued whining)

I guess I should note that the game engine is being nice to me this week. Simons' opponent managed to foul out with more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter. He is the goon of all goons, though: (748039)

wow and I thought Laviolette was the foul king! I guess not.

Appy says, "You're Welcome".

Looks like I can't fault Wayne Andrews for the loss (inopportune fouls didn't help though), but the horrendous luck with da Gama (shooting way below he would be expected and as many times) doomed us.
