Fair enough. However, there is another way to look at besides sympathy. Sometimes I just get fucking bored at work.

This doesn't really matter, but what goes into the Coaching Rating for the All Star Game? Prolific (Med) for one conference yet Respectable (Low) for the other? That's an obscene difference.

I told czobo not to coach the Big 8 in the all star game, but he insisted. Also cmon AJ needs to play more than 17 minutes.

While difficulty of cup opponent matters some, its also about your position in league and what you are willing to sacrifice. For some of us B8 teams we now have 2 tankers, so we know we can throw a league game if needed if we draw a good D2 team for example. The season I made the cup final (17) SM was so far away in 1st place that I could tank whatever league game I wanted to save starters for the cup, I wound up with an amusingly large negative PD for 2nd place. Unfortunately Coco's team was absolutely loaded on PEDs that season and he cheated his way to a double gold, but thats another story.

AZ in a different position because you have HCA in a potential finals to worry about. G8 teams have to worry about positioning a little more at the moment though that might change if some decide to prioritize cup over fighting calum for 1st.

Which is something I wasn't expecting when I resumed normal training this season. Especially with Brian's old National Team roster, Silverbacks improved team, and no longer having the Bot formerly known as Boomshakalakas to beat up on. I figured that I'd be towards the middle of the conference and more teams would have a vested interest in the playoffs.

I wasn't considering a possible Finals bid with a shot at overall HCA, since this season just like the last one, my PD is pretty bad for my record. But it feels like I'd be squandering an opportunity if I don't factor a playoff run in.

i think the asg still uses the season 2-era GE, which contained the wonderfully mysterious "coach rating". i'm pretty sure it was a reflection of how many angels could dance on the top of the coach's head.

Tanner and Nemesio facing off tonight, should be a good matchup

There goes the cup favorite

blech.

Looks like we're in for a fun week.
