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.

huh? wha? i am taking it easy :D The Plebs are my most hated rival, the fans expect it of us :D

Just saying, the plebs are a good team, i dont think he can rely on people under-estimating him for cheap wins as most teams will put their best on the floor to get the W

Sorry bains if it comes across as hammering, have nothing but utmost respect for the Plebs and Bains :D
