Wow Bains, what happened mate? I watched the last 3 mins and held my breath for you but it didn't help with your boy fouling on 0:00 to go! I must admit I haven't checked forward and back, did you change strategy against CT towers??

Really happy with those stats you show Hippo, it is appreciated that you spend the time to get them, makes for a great read, all I need to do now is figure out how to get my boys especially my PG to pass a little more than shoot, my percentage overall can't be that great even showing that I score a lot I want my guys to be getting better scoring opportunities and less shots.. Can't really complain though I am happy with my overall position. Unlucky bains, time to bump up the effort or reduce your salary champ

well mate i am not suprised i got CT'd, although i did beat him TIE - CT last season, so... idk. he beat my FCP which was probably a poor tactical error on my behalf. i probs wont give up already because im not really a fan of tanking. i still make just as much as some of the other guys despite spending more so i will keep myself in the mix and hope i can play better tactics and pull out some better performances come PO time. although finishing 4th again means i will be up against the best team in the conference.

the worst thing about tonite's performance was the massive amount of points i conceeded oh and the foul on 0.00 which is just stupid defense. had the momentum so i reckon wouldve got up in OT.

feel like im playing out the exact same tale as last season. tie'd vs zeds army and that really hurt. now happened against CT Towers.

lets hope i can compete with MM this time round, i feel like i let that one slip last season. MM shows alot more promise this season without the big salary big man.

I do not understand the result at all.. Crunch Towers has CT'd 8 games this season, without TIEing any.. His ENTH must be 0-2 at best.. how can 1 team continue to crunch time all season, and really have no effect.. Fair enuff he might have some good players, but how they can perform with such low enth each week is astounding.

Maybe the penalty for CT isnt enuff... Link it to stamina or gameshape or something... if team plays CT, then the players that play are unable to get a gameshape increase that week, with maybe even penalties to gameshape or something...

MM to me look to be a defensive juggernaut.. 3 of my guys fouled out tonite and we couldnt get anything going offensively.. i wanted to play look inside against em, but dont have the bigs for that just yet :D A loss to MM could see u drop out of the playoffs temporarily, if everything goes alright for the dreamers against Sammy

Some big scoring games tonite!

still got a few games before Many Men so we will have to get back on track.

Lakeshow and freesky was ridiculous for only a 4 qtr match.

i agree it does seem a bit strange. although i dont think they have CT'd every match recently but it can't be above 5 and mine was alrite before i played normal vs blaze

Hey Bainsy remember our discussion during the NT match?

I have looked it up and it is called "The Sunk Cost Fallacy". I am certain that I have suffered from it really badly, in fact it has crippled my team in a number of ways especially in seasons 12 and now in 15+. I think you are suffering from the same effect.

"Sunk Cost Fallacy"?? Please elaborate, sounds like an interesting theory could arise from such a name..

Good for you too Bains, hang in there, your team has to start working together soon right? FCP, what are your boys Stamina levels like? It is just a theory of mine but when I step onto the court I know I am knackered when playing press, I assume BB works the same, if you have good stamina your D would be more effective for longer?

i dont think its a matter of the team not working just getting tactics a bit wrong. i am getting beat at 1 key position every night. ill be thereabouts at the end and we will just have to wait and see whether i can cover that position by playoff time

i googled sunk cost fallacy, but it didnt mean much in the context of BB, without being part of Yoda and Bains convo :D

Strange that u arent doing better tho Bains, cause i am week at 2-3 positions every game and we have the same no. of wins..

I wouldnt even think of playing FCP unless my guard had unbelievable def, and my stamina for all players was respectable.

regardless if i beat cre and act i am still in the same position as i am now just a different record. so i dont think it matters that much except i need to refine my tactics and spend a little more time scouting my opponents.

anyway im happy if i fly below what everyone expects, may get underestimated, like i have done to a few teams this season. main thing right now is to not let any of the easier games slip from now on

I dont think any1 under-estimates you at all Bains.. most of us know we're in for a tough game against the plebs and play accordingly..
You might be in the same position, but with 2 extra wins under your belt, you would be alot more secure in that position.. I dont expect you to drop out of playoffs come seasons end, but at this stage there is still a 3 team fight for 4th spot.
