Even your dreadful replacement outscored his PP100, and had some clutch buckets late. Your team was on fire, if you had matched my Norm it would have been yours.

Just checked out some box scores, do we always foul this much or do we just have a ton of those late game desperation fouls?

He makes my team defense a lot worse though. Also, I retired from normaling league games over a season ago

actually, it says you were supposed to lose by 3. which was pretty close until your craptastic last 4 minutes.

but the 3 point spread was for both teams using equal effort?

my match predictor correctly had him losing by 15 with more effort. it harnesses the power of the old "George Michael Sports Machine", which I have access to.

Thats a bit surprising given your previous posts about almost winning the title. But I suppose focusing heavily on the Cup works too. You are the reigning Cup champ, so nobody can really knock your method.

(i) I doubt it.
(ii) works for me? I might actually be using (one of ?) the old predictor though. I can't remember, it's just some link I got from a plugin now.
(iii) I bet that could happen.

So I was bored, and was thinking of compiling some stats. However I did not want them skewed by tanked games and what not. The notion was to have actual legitimate contests, where both teams play something close to their A lineups and preferably, it's not a complete blowout.

After doing this subjective process, here are the totals I came up with for which teams have played how many real games.

Myopic Marauders - 12
Bullish Mentality - 11
Silverbacks - 10
Walker Wiggles - 10
Bruins - 9
Funky Town Fire - 9
Burlington Mountain Goats - 7
Black Mambas - 6
Lake Merritt Arrows - 6
Milwuakee Lethargy - 6
Reston Thumpers - 6
Visionaries - 5
Boomshakalakas - 5
Chitown Bangers - 5
King Drive Ballers - 2

I would have assumed LMA and Lethargy were playing more real games given their overall records. Yet it seems teams love tanking to them (I'm guilty of this myself). Perhaps if teams had chosen to act more like Myopic Marauders, we'd have seen some nice upsets from time to time. Which he had over Lethargy, and almost had over LMA in an Overtime contest.
