No one bold enough to pick anything other than WA v BLS - i'm just hoping i can get my first ever ABBL playoff win against C-Cat! If i get through that then i'll worry about trying to upset Bryce assuming WB doesn't do it in the opening round.

Good luck to everyone that are involved in playoff/relegation games. Should be a great predicted finals series with BLS vs WA.

Relegation battle also heats up and I think both HA and Doncaster has a chance depending on tactics.

I'm pretty happy to be in 5th place in my first season. Can't complain with not having to pay player salaries for 2 weeks :D

Guys appreciate any advise on what tactics I can use to take down the Flames on their home court, to be BB mailed to me.

Dont think I have any chance (have even reset the seating prices in expectation of being back in div 2) but if I could sneak the first game then Id be a chance to close it out at home

Just had an after thought

Perhaps my best chance of winning would be to brain wash Doncaster Flames about the virtues of being relegated so that he can bounce back "Adams Guns" style and claim a million dollers for promotion

Good luck for tonight! 1 qtr gone and only 2 points in it. I might have HCA but I went normal in the last match of the season in the hope of snatching 5th. Very bad move in hindsight... so this could go either way.

For the real finals, can't go past a BLS and WA domination with WA taking it out yet again. Here's hoping someone pulls an upset off though!

That's not a bad idea! Last time I was relegated the first season back in the ABBL I made the finals (and was promptly smashed by BLS, but we'll gloss over that).

I'd be happy to get back to the finals this season but with my end of season injuries and Bryce going with an over the top salary team once again, i think he's bought yet another title no matter who he plays.

Hopefully mr moneybags will run out of money soon though and we'll start seeing what he's really made of ;)

Thanks for the good wishes.

Went crunch time tonight so if I loose then I will have absolutely no chance in the 2nd game despite it being at home

What tactics could I use in game 2 that will result in long term injuries to an opponents Power Forward and Guards whilst still managing to buy off the referees as well?

If no such tactics exist then I guess its goodbye cruel ABBL in straight sets

Unfortunately for you there is no defensive tactic labelled "Pistons Bad Boys" :(

I only got one advice... you got to be in it to win it.

Just give it your all and hope for the best. And also pray that lady luck is on your side.
I'm speaking from experience too, not just blabbing out of my mouth. Here is the proof (32426138).

And it looks like you lost from the charity strip, 30-38 free throw is a big advantage.

Reality is that his roster is almost worth twice mine.

I need to use the "Pistons Bad Boys" tactics and hope that he plays his roster out of position for training minutes and greed (to get another home gate)

I'll definately try a few things and wont die wondering

The moral of the story (which i covered in the 2nd post of this thread) is

If you hold onto your 300k big man you might struggle. Very hard to win in this comp with one good player and no depth.


It's all about team balance and not coming up to the ABBL before you are ready. I wanted you to do well sid given you are a former II.3 guy like myself C-Cat and Whitebeard but alas the 300k C was your downfall. Especially given that you held onto him for so long.

Would have been a much better option to sell him off in the beginning and get a couple of 70-100k guys
