All I can say is thank you.

I'm not being a smart ass. You played a 2-3 against me and still only lost by a few points AT my arena. That scares me as to how far my team has fallen in this league.

Woo Great 8! Are you sure its not 12-12 though?

Prov City is in 2nd place with a 7 pt differential. Talk about winning some close games.

You're welcome haha. That wasn't the plan at all. I just completely forgot to change my tactics. I usually do it in advance but didn't tonight for some reason. Then at 7 I was focused on the Celtics game. At about 8:15 I realized the mistake. I have no clue why I didn't set them days ago when I knew what I was up against.

Oh well, this is a season for training. Hard to appreciate any progress through the losses though. At least I know if I get demoted this season I'll likely be back up in season 14.

that's the spirit.

Yeah what's up with a 7-3 record with onnly 7 point positive differencial. Either the games were close or the loses were HUGE

The sg spot in the allstar game for the Big 8 is clearly going to go to either John Barr, Gael Carmona, or Jorge Alberto Mina. There are a bunch of ways to break it down in deciding who deserves the spot. If you go by rating Carmona and Mina are tied with a 12 rating, and Barr has an 11.5 so in that category Barr loses. If you go by fg% and 3pt fg% it goes Carmona, Barr, and then Mina is the loser. And finally when you look at ppg it currently is Carmona (coming off a 40pt game), then Mina, and third Barr.

Currently it looks as if Barr is the fall-out losing 2/3 categories, but things can easily change from now untill the break, as it has changed many times already. I can't wait to see who makes it but whoever does I hope they lead the Great 8 to an allstar victory.

Edit: By highest salary the order is Barr, Mina, Carmona
By highest dmi the order is Carmona, Barr, Mina

It's strange how the lowest salary player out of them has the highest dmi, I guess that means he has the highest non-primary skills? My understanding is that secondary skills raise your dmi but not the salary as much am I correct?

Hi Fellas, games I got lost, I really got smoked. I sat Carmona and Co. to focus on some early cup wins and home games. I TIE and threw some games against better squads.

I drafted Carmona as a 19 year old. He has been kept well balanced in the attributes catagories. Maybe this is why he is effective. I think Barr and Mina have better sorrounding casts and thats why Carmona may have some better stats in spots.

that doesnt explain why his fg% is highest, normally if the entire offense goes through 1 player who shoots a majority of the teams possesions his fg% will go down but not Carmona he has the highest. I gotta say right now he looks like he will get the starting spot. I actually played Barr sf one game and he got an 8.5 rating so if that game isnt included his avg sg rating is 11.8 which I'm assuming would be rounded up to 12 and thus making it a three way tie for best rating.

Here's the recap of Tuesday's action.

Gavno top Pistons and this is win number 10 for them, 111-78. Gavno, known as a LI team, plays more run'n gun this season.

Hawks long trip to Danver didn't affect their motivation and they return home with a 96-65 win.

Great win and even a greater 4th quarter for Investors against Magic, 102-88. Cormona and Babudavicius scored 71 combined. Ketikidis was benched by the coach and was on the court for only 6 mins for Magic.

Illusion put more and shot with a better FG than Tachenko, 101-90.

When Flyers finished 1st quarter with an outstanding score, 34-11, game was almost over. Goats and Capps didn't give up and showed some intensity to hold on later in the game but that didn't help, 83-96.

What's happening to Bangers and why did they TIE are big question marks on everyone's mind. After a great start and climbing to 2nd place, 5 game losing streak is quite disappointing. On the other hand, Cleveland got their 6th win of the year, 95-120. 4 of the Crazys scored over 20 pts.

Game against Trafficers was a must win for Armmagedons and super defensive effort plus a commanding performance by Valdez clinched win number 3. Armmagedons are also alive in the tourney and team is getting more comfortable with the new division each day.

Last but not least, a great OT victory by Steppers against Dutchmen, 104-99. All the stats were close, except 6 extra TO's for Dutchmen, which probably cost the game.

Player of the day was Gael Carmona of the Investors. 42 pts, 9 rbds and 4 asts. This performance will help him in all-star balloting.

Must see game of Saturday is Gavno @ Hawks. Hawks' homecourt against Gavno's enthusiasm boost from the tourney should be fun to watch.
