For once, the injury in your playoff game that sticks is to your opponent, not to you. Meanwhile, it looks like whoever wins my game tonight comes out healthy - still the underdog, whichever one of it is, but it might make for a good series.

My new guard w/ marvelous FT & strong stamina missed both his FTs in the 1st quarter. He's only made 2 of his 8 FT attempts for my team.

Just wanted to publicly shame him, that's all.

That just means he's going to hit a metric asston of FTs later and so he's pre-booking his misses so his percentage is accurate. Sadly, while I intended that to not be serious, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to find out that's how it works.

It was probably before you had a team, but I had a guy w/ awful FT shoot about 70% on near 100 attempts. And a guy with tremendous FT shoot only 60-something % for a season. (though his sample size was much smaller... around 30 attempts maybe.)

random movie is The Night of the Hunter, a movie about as creepy as the Nick Cave song. not too many movies where evil guys go after kids, sort of the last taboo in movies.

+1 Thanks for the info! will definitely make a note of it & check it out sometime. Films are one area I'm somewhat ignorant in. (even more so post y2k)

glanced at an ebert review & saw the imdb rating... impressive. So it's on the level of something like Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, or Vertigo?

Good game Hrudey. Best of luck against Pappy

The relegation series turned out well. This conference has the makings of an absolute meat grinder.

No offense but kind of pulling for Pappy in the finals. It sure would be a feel good story to see him finally make the leap.

Well crap, I am struggling mightily to find time to do awards so I will roll them out as I get time. So with that sais,Coach of the year and MVP awards go out right now.

Coach Of The Year

Pappy
Let's be honest, the most feared team in the league all season has been the angry Dog River Riverdogs. This team has been the best inside oriented team in the league, which is rate considering how many people are diverting from the look inside offense. To add to it, they have put together some of the best team ratings all season.Theres nothing this team can't do. Offensively they are a great all around team from the PG all the way down to center and their defense is just as good. There is a reason they are feared and find themselves in the championship even with two crucial injuries to the team. Great job Pappy!


MVP

Neal McCory

This guy has quietly put together a great season and it's no coincidence he is on the best team in the league. Between averaging 17PPG and 12RPG he has consistently been a center piece to the Dog River Riverdogs. To add to it, he had been good defensively too, averaging almost 2BLKs per game. At the end of the day it's not just stats the earn the MVP honors, it takes efficency as well, and McCory has been one of the most efficient players in the league with his 16.5 average rating for the season. Put everything together and there really wasn't much competition.

maybe just a notch below those classics, in my opinion, but one of those many movies you can find that show there was a lot of subversive, disturbing stuff going on below the surface in 1950s America, that Golden Age of happy suburbanites conforming to social norms no one believed in.

Pappy vs. Hrudey is a terrible final -- no way to turn this into some sort of cosmic Good v. Evil struggle. all i know is any chat board with both Hrudey and Shikago has way too much cleverness and humor and like everything else in this game must, at some point, revert to the norm.

Thanks, Isaiah, but I'm not sure I deserve all the accolades. First, a tip of the hat to the Minnesota Snowbirds who quite simply scared the shit out of me. Our game last night was a whole lot closer than the final score might indicate. And a series against good friend hrudey is going to also be a tough one indeed. Thanks again for the shout out!

Same to you. You're right about the conference - it really says it all that although I did come out of the conference, I've also had losses to two non-playoff teams in the last 4 regular season games, plus got beat pretty cleanly by you at home in that same span. And my reward for all of that is facing off against Pappy without HCA, knowing full well that the way the conference goes, I may not see another shot at promotion soon if ever.

Yea it was very tough to come up with MVP and Coach of the year but it's hard to go against the best team in the league.

I'll work on getting the Defensive POY and All BB teams posted in the next couple of days. Lots of good players in this league that are worthy. Have to sort it out though and get the best of the best.
