Tonight's NBBA cup game just got even more interesting between Airballers & Rocket Science!
Prior to now, AirBallers & LMA were the only 2 NBBA teams in the $750-$800k starting 5 range. (saw that Slashing Dragons are selling off Kimberly Bladder so not counting them) The next tier is a moderate drop-off -- 4 teams at $600-$625k, led by WW -- but they're all out of the cup.

But now breaking the $1.1 million total payroll mark, if Rocket Science wins tonight & stays focused solely on the cup, look out. And *if* they truly decide to make the regular season an afterthought, it would give them a big edge. Though at 4-13 they're actually only 2 games & 209 points away from 7th. (& you'd think would be a lock to win relegation with their current lineup in tact?).

Unrelated -- really seems wrong that a 10-7 team is currently in 6th...

I'm just glad 'the ROC' waited until after our game. Could be very interesting if he plays his cards right, manages GS and game choice, he could certainly have a chance in the cup and stay up. It's certainly a gamble but I'm pretty sure you dont win in this game without taking a gamble, i've certainly played it safe for far too long.

Yay. First wozz, then Steve, now the 1.1m $ version of Rocket Science. Methinks my luck is running out this time

jfarb - you worry too much! I used the offsite to model the game, and against EDH for my next game, I have roughly a 10% chance of winning even with my overpriced line-up.

I hope to stay in the cup, which is the silver lining to my one and only season in the NBBA... but it took a $1m payroll to barely beat LMA w/o his best player earlier this season, and you have 2 US NT guards in terrific game shape, so I know I am the underdog.

I really hope I can keep up with you to make our cup game an interesting one.

Here's to no injuries on either side! If my center gets injured after 1 min of play again, I will know the game engine has something personal against me.

good luck!

Obviously if a player is good enough for LMA to deem him worthy of a bid, he's a tres-1337 player that's worth $13.37M

jfarb:

Congrats. The better team won. :)

It has a great ride for me - I never expected to get to the NBBA and final-16 in the cup so quickly. I was thinking I would have to go between II and III a couple of times before getting a shot to participate in this much fun.

That last cup game was a nice way to end the run over 10 seasons.

And now, it's time to finally dismantle the entire team.
