Wow...I missed a lot of the discussion. I would have picked TWSS to win it all...so it show your what I know. Now I've got Silverbacks, whose beat me in our last two match-ups. Oh well...at least I'm at home.

I played PON because my enthusiasm was already 11 and I wanted to make a deep run. Figured that the home court advantage would dissolve your CT.

I expected my outside game to be shut down, that's why I went inside with my 56k, 97k, and 90+k big men against your 42k, 19k, and 13k guys. And yet they were somehow 17-45 shooting even with 2 guys having stupendous and marvelous IS. If you had told me I'd have been -3 levels in OD rating vs. my OS, but +5 levels in ID vs. my IS, as well as +1 in my OD vs. OS and +3 in my ID vs. IS, I would've taken that every day. Not to mention the 3 level rebounding advantage.

I just think it's a flaw in the game if a good outside defense can shut down an entire team's offense (and we had the same OD rating!), a good outside offense is impossible to stop, while a good inside offense and defense is useless because it supposedly can be somehow stopped by a bunch of little guards? This is basically how the Heathens have become a top 5 team in the world and won the NBBA title last year. They had nothing but insanely high OD and dominated. Just don't think it's realistic at all.

Well my guards each have tremendous HN/DV and Billingsley (6 TOs) has sensational passing and no one on my team averaged more than 2 TO's a game, so I'm not worried about that. I have no idea where 19 turnovers came from. And most of the fouls came at the end in desperation, I can't blame that on the loss. Whatever I'm done fuming about this, time to blow up the team and start over.

Yeah I mean SB's team is good, I don't mean to disrespect him or his team, I just thought the level and depth of my team's talent was quite superior. I put the game ratings into the NT database matchup simulator and I had a 93% win percentage haha. Stuff happens, I understand that. I guess I just don't understand offensive flow, because if it's passing-based, my team has plenty of that.

I do think the flow accounts for the amount of shots your guards took, the turnovers, and your big men’s shot selection, but there was definitely luck involved. My guards, in less that stellar form, shot over 40% from beyond the arc against that prominent 3-2 and Billingsley in proficient form, which wouldn’t happen if we played the same game twice. But, even with a 93% win chance, I’m still going to win 7 times out of 100.

Yup, I give you at least a 93% chance of winning the next game!

I agree, blow up the team!

Get rid of that slacker Billingsley first - what a head case! Don't forget, he lost that Cup game for you!
I see Seedi is hitting the road, so a positive move on cleaning house.
