And likewise, if he played 3-2 zone, his bigs would have been exposed with there low OD. So unless if i've made a mistake while analysing his team ( doesn't happen often, but every now and then i do get things wrong), i would have won no matter how i played. Truth be told, i was infact expecting a 3-2 zone. His guards were horribly out of shape, so i was expecting him to balance that out. (but like stated before 3-2 zone would have seen my bigs flourish on points and boards). Having bigs flourish in an outside tactic gives extremely confusing signs to the opponents :P Anyhow, since you predicted the correct tactic, care trying to predict what i'll use against my next opponent?
In the beginning of the season, i wasn't very happy ending up here, cause there are a few teams who are well suited to exploit my weaknesses. More in this division than in the other II divisions. Suns can beat me, because he knows my team pretty well. he knows the skills of several of my players, being the former U21 coach. So it's harder to beat him ( especially if you forget to change your line up prior to the game against him... that doesn't help either... For the games against Sum, i'll need to be extra creative. that is the disadvantage of having a belgian team full of former U21 talent. if you face a former U21 coach, he'll know the skills roughly. I know the skills of Liessens, but Liessens isn't a starter anymore. So Sum has got the advantage there)).
Sebhilton say's that Caitan is just about good for his HoF. I strongly disagree. But i'll explain that at the end of the season :P no need to help an opponent publicly right now :P
And the fact that TBS and SKW are both very defensif teams, means that the games against them will be a match to find out who has the better defense. Who has covered himself from all possible angles. That will be what decides those games.
The problem with defensif teams, is that you need to find a way to deliver some offense too. And unfortunately, defensif skills cost a fortune when you look at salary. So the trick is to find players who are great defensifly, but who have the right salary efficient offensif skills so that they don't become a liability on the offense. If you can build such a team, you'll see that even when your star player goes down for a couple of weeks, you can still remain competitive and push for wins, even if the odds aren't exactly in your favor.
I find it highly ammusing how everyone focusses on Marichal. I'll just state this once:
every player in the team is important. Overlook one, and you could be in for a nasty surprize.
ps: i might sound a bitt full of myself. some might find that insulting, it isn't meant that way. i just didn't have more time to carefully chose my words today.
