Take a trip to Barbados?

Figured i was already taking less of an interest in BB and barbados is easier so why not... plus it's actually close to Trinidad and Tobago.. unlike USA hehe.

Big 8 News: West Palm Beach gets a huge upset win over Clairemont Condors. 86-82. They claim the early 6th spot and show they aren't a team you can sleep on any more.

Only one team has been eliminated from the cup. With it being round 3 its expected but still slightly impressive to only have one team out.

The only teams to follow my preseason prediction so far is the Generals and the Planes. The Generals closest game was a 15 point low scoring (85-70) to the Mercy Buckets.

The game of the upcoming week will be I Believe That We Will Win @ Washington Generals. This game will show if anyone in the Big 8 can stop them this year.

As for the battle for second (This section will just feature how these teams have fared against each other unless a major upset has occurred)

Team Turn Up: Currently ranked 5th. Win over I Believe. Losses: Green Peppers and Mercy Buckets. They will play West Palm Beach next. This is a big game for West Palm. This could give them a chance at becoming a serious contender for the playoff race.

Green Peppers: Currently ranked 4th. Wins over Team Turn Up and I Believe. Losses: Mercy Buckets. They will play Clairemont Condors. After a rough loss to West Palm the Condors will look to try and bounce back with a win against the Peppers.

Mercy Buckets: Currently ranked 3rd. Wins against Green Peppers and a very solid win against Team Turn Up. Losses: I Believe. Next game will be against the Planes. Planes are heading in a direction that seems like one Big8 win this season could be difficult. Should be an easy win for Mercy Buckets to go 5-2 in Big 8 play.

I Believe That We Will Win (Need you to make it shorter dude) Currently ranked 2nd with a big point differential. Wins against Mercy Buckets. Losses: Green Peppers and Team Turn Up. The two early losses could hurt as the next opponent for I Believe is the Generals. If they manage the upset they will be 5-2 along with the Peppers and Mercy Buckets heading into cross play(If all win). However if they lose they will be tied with Team Turn Up at 4-3.

Unless West Palm is able to manage an upset or two and the Condors are able to climb back up, these will be the teams fighting for playoff spots all season long. I hope to do this news more often so long as people will respond and add to it.

Remember that my only losses came before I had a complete roster. I'm undefeated since I got my 5 current starters. Hopefully I can stay in the cup another round, I have a pretty tough team coming up.

As for my name being too long, just go with I Believe or IBTWWW or something. Everyone will understand what you mean.

IBTWWW

started by me when i used to do those power rankings

and i miss USA's competitiveness already ;(

Good thing we are on TV this time!

Yeah, maybe we will get a third OT game between us.

I'm going to try and save and make a one or two purchases late in the season, hopefully, I can make the playoffs without any purchases, but I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't make it this year. This is kind of a training/ rebuilding year for me.

Good game. I'm surprised you beat me on low, but I guess 17 turnovers will do that to you.

Can anyone share why predicting an "inside" gameplan is incorrect for "inside isolation?" I find that a little odd.

Yeah good game to you too. Inside Insolation is considered a balanced offense, I am not sure why exactly. I guess the ball is spread around evenly until you can get your best big one on one or something like that.
You have a history of guessing my tactics so this time I made sure to switch it up and do something that was technically not an inside offense. Your 2-3 zone was smart though, it forced me to take more threes than I wanted to.
