Congratulations and well played. It took me 13 seasons to get back to a finals game, so I remain content with my second second-place finish. You are clearly the better team, but I would have preferred the refs let the big men play instead of all the foul outs. Alas, the game engine is what it is....

Congratulations on the Cup, Apex. It's quite a thrill, isn't it?

Thanks Dmitri!

Yeah I started BB 11 years ago and took quite the hiatus for a few years but I'm glad to be able to build up an cup winning roster in 15 seasons. I went under "Lebron Slams Down" in a past life, that account had far less success than this one.

It was quite fun planning everything out and I'll enjoy partaking in B3 for the first time as well next season and the playoffs coming up here. This NBBA group has been very competitive and the USA is looking stronger by the day.

Good luck to you and everyone else in the playoffs!

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!

To be honest though I got blessed with seedings this tournament. I played no NBBA teams until the final and got the only inter-conference forfeit from Richmond Rabbits. It was a lucky season as far as scheduling so I made the best with it that I could. But luck is definitely a role in BB and in any high level competition.

Looking forward to our next match soon! (y)

Congratulations, Apex. The first one is always the best. There's nothing like reaching the mountain top after looking up for so long while pondering what it might take to get there. It was a sense of relief to for me. All the planning and dedication payed off.

Best of luck in the postseason and in the B3. I have a feeling the road to the NBBA title is going to be a real battle this season.

Appreciate it A-Dub. I wish I could have beaten your team throughout this rebuild once but sadly your guys were always a slight bit ahead (and a few years older) and I could never catch up to you in time to put up a real fight.

As far as the NBBA title this season, yeah it's gonna be quite the battle. How you managed to swing both a cup run and an NBBA run consistently is very impressive. I feel like the schedule blessed me several times this season and I'm still at 7 losses for the season.

The plan is to be up here for quite a while. This team has a good 3-4 seasons left after this one before I blow it up. I've still got quite a bit to work on and improve.

Thanks. Well, you got the first leg out of the way. That's a start.

There is a reason why it is difficult to win a single season double title victory: While some, like myself, may aim to win both titles there will always be managers that wisely prioritize one competition over the other knowing they'll need HCA to win a title against the stronger teams. That helps to level the playing field quite a bit and you need a strong team to be able to win on the road. That is what makes the double such a special accomplishment. The key is to win HCA while winning the CUP, but that's easier said than done. More than likely, you'll need to win on the road if you want to win back-to-back doubles, or more.

You have a chance to put yourself in rare company and win a double. It's going to be damn hard, though. Best of luck to you!

Well I'll be damned. Ice Man just CT'd the last game of the season and for his efforts he'll be rewarded a playoff birth on the road against your team. For you, that's what I call a first round gift. I dream of those.

Agreed. His priority was obviously to avoid relegation and it payed off.
