Ahh, well good luck on your trip and on your cup run:)

Oh, it is so good to hear from Arizona. I was wondering how the heck he could afford a 166K C!! That is too bad you are leaving. This league might start to fall apart.

I have a really tough cup game coming up, hope I can pull off a miracle! If not, I really need to focus on training.

Good luck all!

Trade you cup games;), might have to throw a CT out to get my next one...

Thanks! I am using my dads credit card to afford this center :-) No credit limit!! Currently, I am operating at Negative -$131,243 a week :-) Of course, every cup win cuts 50K off that -)

I have another pretty easy cup draw this week, so it looks like I will make it to the all star week.. I bought a L6 Doctor, but I am sure at some point running with 5 guys is going to catch up to me...either stamina/depth issues against a good team, or an injury. My SG got hurt in the cup the other day, and then he got hurt again yesterday in PL. He has something nagging going on.

Either way, this is a fun way to go out!! Would be fun to keep this going for a few more weeks.

Hey, btw...do you guys have a preference for how I let my team die? I would assume you all hate walkovers...so I can add 3 horrible players, or 5, or I can get 5 5K-10K players to leave it somewhat competitive. Not sure if you guys are in favor of stat skewing and big PD wins, or if you would rather keep it real. I can also leave it set to tie every game, or Normal, or crunch, and whatever tactics you wall want too.

Just chime in with your opinion, and I will do my best to accommodate. (This is assuming my cup run doesn't last long enough that I go bankrupt and don't have a say in the matter!)

As long as there are no walkovers I'll be happy:), apart from you leaving and all...:(

Ha I was wondering what was going on. Good luck on your Mission Trip!

The next two weeks are going to show what my team is really made of (knocked off Frito Bandito by 14 tonight), especially with the injury to my starting shooting guard, but thankfully my second half of the schedule is relatively easy so long-run I'm still looking good.

Droids and Seachickens still seem like they're on another level from all the other teams in the league, but I've made a lot of progress with my finances this season so watch out, a big move might be on the way ;-)

Nice for you, I am getting broker every update:) I really need another cup win or two.

Ugh... A freaking gut-wrenching game going on right now...

REGULATION:

- Was down 19 at one point in the third. Down 12 points going into the fourth. Down 12 points with 3-4 minutes to go.
- Primarily bench players lead the charge and I get right back in the game!
- With time winding down Opposing SG hits a three
- My PG is fouled and misses two free throws (was 6-6 from line before)
- With 2 seconds left Opposing SG hits a jumper to send the game to OT!

*Opposing SG has been killing me all game at the end of regulation: 40 pts 18-32 shooting

1ST OVERTIME:

- I was down 3 with 30 seconds to go but my PG redeems himself by hitting a ridiculously long three-pointer to tie the game!
- On the final possession I get the rebound but miss the final shot, to Double OT we go!

*Opposing SG: 48 pts 22-39 (4-7 shooting)

2ND OVERTIME:

- I fall behind early.
- Star PF takes over hitting a few shots in the paint and a three-pointer to give me a 4-point lead.
- Fatigue sets in and my third string PF (who was sold during this game) is inserted, and some costly mistakes are made.
- I hit another long three to tie the game with 15 seconds left.
- Opposing team misses last shot of period so it's time for Triple OT...

*Opposing SG: 48 pts 22-39 (I managed to make the Opposing SG a non-factor by getting him into foul trouble, 5 fouls, he didn't take or make a shot in the second OT)

3RD OVERTIME:

- A mix of bench players and starters play until about the 1:40 mark, the score is tied.
- At some point early in the quarter I get the Opposing SG who hsa been causing me all sorts of trouble to foul out!
- My star PF takes over down the stretch but Ohio Suns fights back.
- Fittingly I win on a driving layup by my star PF... At the buzzer.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Great game but now that it's done I'm little concerned to see that Ohio Suns had his effort level set to "Take it Easy" where as mine was at "Normal"... O_O

Hmm, seems to me you should have won easier by looking at those ratings, but it was good that you managed to pull it out anyways, representin the Big 8

Yeah I hope it was some fluke caused by the fact that my starting SG was coming back from injury and that I have a new center rotation, if not I need to put in extra work to find the next big player for my team :-/...
