Semi's are finally here.

Bruins vs Bullish
All-time record, 2-0 in favor of Bullish. However only 1 of those was a real game; Bruins tanked the most recent one for the Cup. This is easily the first meaningful match between the two teams.

KDB vs Silverbacks
Definitely more interesting history. (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rivalry.aspx?team1=...)

9-4 overall record held by Silverbacks. Their first 4 games were 3-1 in favor of KDB, yet none of them were anything but tank fests.

Upon KDB's NBBA re-appearance in season 19, he beat Silverbacks again to push the all-time record to 4-1 in KDB's favor. Since then, Silverbacks have ripped off 8 straight wins.

The last time these two met in the Cup, was also in the Semi's. (45622797). Kind of weird that of the important games they've played against each other, none have been in league play. KDB and Silverbacks have a strictly cup relationship, whereas league play is basically just a glorified "friendly".

Playoff opportunities:
- Season 15, Silverbacks was in the playoffs, KDB wasn't.
- Season 19, almost met in the Conference Finals. Silverbacks on the road against the #1 seed, actually had the lead with 4 minutes left in the game.
- Season 20, Silverbacks makes the playoffs while KDB barely misses from a lack of having 23 more PD.

I have a tough choice tonight, Nemesio just came back from injury and for GS purposes needs to get 48 (or close to) to avoid dropping. That or i have to train GS which I hate to do when I have more pops to get on aging trainees.

Keep the focus on training, or throw it all at the cup and waste a week of training? Can't decide.

As someone who could possibly play against you next week (knock on wood that I don't jinx myself), I strongly suggest you do Team Training...for outside shooting. Nobody would expect that, it's foolproof!

I hear that Outside Shooting for Team got Milwaukee Lethargy to where they are today...

I see you went with Xermade for 48 minutes. Bold call there, especially since your game is so close still.

Currently the 4th quarter could be described as Ray Taylor and Ives Wens scoring layups on each other.

if i lose by 1 ill kick myself

Holy 4th quarter batman. That's ridiculous. Silverbacks had incredibly consistent scoring for the other 3 quarters, but your team finally decided to play defense I guess.

I have a tendency of doing this in the games i manage to pull off wins against SM:

(42756520)
(42756640)

wow, had absolutely no confidence in beating your team. assist to you on the enthusiasm advantage i had. ill take it.

You scored more in the 4th than you did in the 1st and 3rd combined. You had a 3-2 zone yet still put up a Proficient (High) RB rating. Knowing my own deficiencies in that regard, your team scares me.
