LOL!!! Nice, Bilbo...talk about getting value for money from a player!

I'm still unsure how the hell my centre missed out on being selected. I would say that, Vukolic, is arguably the best C our league. I can only assume that his lack of league games this season or perhaps his GS (Strong) were factors. Or perhaps his age!

Congrats to those who had a player(s) play in the ASG.

In other news, the highlight of my week given the lack of players playing in the ASG was to play a scrimmage tonight against good friend, work colleague and Fishbowl team mate. Given that he managed to play a couple of his big guns and I had all my starters playing few minutes off the bench, the 35 point loss wasn't too bad to such a strong Aussie team.

WOW! Did anyone catch the game tonight between the HawthornFC and XBB? What a game. The Hawks took a 16 point lead into the final quarter only to see XBB pile on 33 points to the Hawks 17 to send the game into overtime. With HCA, the XBB made great use of the home crowd draing a 3pt shot to open the fifth quarter. THe teams exchanged baskets briefly before the XBB started to punish the Hawks in the second half of the alotted 5 minute quarter. Incredibly, the XBB piled on 24 points in 5 minutes to steal a memorable win! The final score: 113 - 106.


I should note that I was barracking for the Hawks. If they had won I would have had a 1-game break over XBB in 2nd spot. I now only hold 2nd spot by percentage. It's shaping up to be a exciting finals series with XBB and myself almost certain to meet in the QF.

LOL, just noticed the XBB only got 5 players the whole game, a great comeback as to the expense of a lot of stamina. Great Effort.

I missed out on my game due to a gathering tonight, just got back and saw the result of my game. Well a disappointed result but also an expected one. with my team on CTD tonight i was trying to test where my team can go against one of the top team in this league. The team did well after the first three quarters evening the score up before completely blown away in the forths. Good effort to my boys.

Just gonna state here that with the lost tonight my team should be nothing for you on Tuesday :D

But dont you think with the team i have now it would be enough for me to stay in this league?

Firstly, in regards to our game, anything is possible. You have HCA which will give you about 8-10 extra points. I must be honest and say that given that you have just used CT in your last game, and that I have the highest possible enthusiasm possible, I should win comfortably. Of course, getting the right tactics will help you.

Secondly, your team is better balanced and I would suggest that if you can make it through the relegation playoffs at the end of the season you can build on the team you have and remain in this Division.

Good luck in our game.

PS. My advice: TIE those games you know you can't win. Play your hardest (Normal) when you play against Miami and The wigs and try and steal one or two wins and hope they don't get anymore wins themselves. To be honest, you will be fighting to stay out of 8th. THe other option is to TIE every game and try and CT the last one or two to steal the wins that way...however, looking at your scheduale you are probably better off trying the first method (playing hard against those on the same win/loss record as you).

Good luck.

LOL good analysis Matty. I have confidence in my team and looking at my conference i think i won't be the 8th team (In this case it would most likely be Miami). So as the result I would play the relegation match and since your conference is less dodgy (i mean nothing here but the race for the spot to stay in this league), it would most likely for me to meet with Get Real or LA Netters, looking at their rosters right now it should not be too hard for my team. Of course anything will change if they import new players at the end of this season.

oh a question i want to ask, what does HCA stands for?

Cheers and good luck!

HCA stands for Home Court Advantage. Depending on your PR guy (and what his speciality is) that could mean an extra 8-12 points for your team just because it's a home game! If his speciality is Crowd Involvement and he's a decent level the more points you receive when playing at home.

Another interesting thing about HCA is that when you play away and you lose narrowly with all things being equal, it probably suggests that you could have beaten that team if you had had the HCA. So, it is an important thing to know. Many managers play their best line-ups in their Home games because of the advantage.

LOL, looks like the Get Real has came into action with two big guns ready today for their relagation series. With the suprising lost they took last Saturday the Wigs i believe would try to win the battle tomorrow with the Leagends. However looking into my schedule i would think is still unclear until we finish the last round where I will play the Wigs. With the 5-8 position in our conference still in the mist, Get Reals and the LA Netters are waiting with a vicious smile in the dark (LOL).
It would be a relagation series with great fun and excitment.

Let's bring it on Boyz!

Hey boys, not very active I know but I won't be giving Matty an easy ride! My only loss so far was due to cup, having said that I don't believe that I am ready to take down Waterhouse, maybe I have a decent purchase left before the end of the season, averaging 120k a week :)) Be ready for a big finals series mate, I will be bringing the Viking's domination :D lol

Don't worry about me, SchaBoom, I'm selling up for the season. I may get the urge to reload come finals but doubt it. Great to see you saying hello by the way and congrats on a nice season so far. I like your team but I still believe Urmummas have the right line-up to defeat anyone providing their players' GS is good.

As for Get Real suddenly coming to life, been waiting for that. Mind you, I personally think the two purchases won't really effect much. The Centre will be handy but with pitiful GS, that $40K Sg has no chance of having any real impact.

Good luck all and keep the communications going guys.

Well, my players aren't selling fast enough...may not be able to tank the way it's going! Sold my best SF and my new PG and still put a team on court that beat CARLTON by 27 points. Mind you, that PF of his, Pomper, is outstanding. I'd love to know what his stats are: Prodigious IS, R???
I tried something different and put my $43k C on him to try and stop him; Pomper still managed almost 40pts and 20rebounds!!! I should have stayed with my starting PF, Dotan, who may have been able to do a better job. Ah well, such is life!

How's everyone travelling? Good to see the Prides notch up another win. GC still looking good as is Ozzy and Urmummas.
