I saw your Rik Smit Clogs lost last night GM-Hrudley. They had been hot coming into that game, but I guess Window Lickers' defense was a little peskier than I thought it was. Only 50 points put up for the clogs.


Yeah. We shot 17% in the first half and had 8 defensive boards vs. 13 offensive boards for them (though, of course, we had 6 offensive boards by then too). It's pretty much just more proof that outside offenses are broken - because you get games like that, and then you have the one where my team shot literally 60% from 3 against ATL the Hawks for no discernable reason.

It's frustrating not because I lost, because I have no problem losing in ways I deserve to. There's no way they should have only forced 12 turnovers last night, for example - but it should have been something like a 95-84 type loss, where their damn PF scored 50 and I shot a reasonable percentage but couldn't overcome the turnovers. The black swan type quarters and halves are just too frequent.

If your team had just had the decency to admit defeat when I was up seven at the half of game 3 of the Finals, instead of having the audacity to actually come back and win, I'd have already been there, so really it's all your fault.

(The sad thing is, I had another entirely separate explanation based on a different finals loss to another Warriors-themed team that beat me in the finals in II.4 typed out until I realized that was not you but the other one. Fortunately, I haven't had three different Warriors-themed teams beat me in the Finals in II, so it's still really not my fault yet).

Funny thing is that I'm trying to have a team with shooters like the Warriors and yet my games end up playing out like we're the mid-90s Knicks.

Shooters? Like players with high JS and range? I'm trying to go back to the old days and rely my offense on he paint but sadly my bigs are mostly rebounders not scorers

Well, sort of. Lots of range and good JS (for the youngsters, at least). I also trained shotblocking for them, because JR and SB were the two universally despised skills at the time and I wanted to see what I could do with them.

In past seasons, the point where I locked down a top five finish would have been a reason to celebrate but in the new BB, you're not safe until you lock up a playoff spot. Thanks, Obama!
