All 3 of Belkhaouas' offensive rebounds, came on the same possession around the 9 minute mark in Q2, lasting till 808 in q2, without Otherland able to score on the possession. Epic Fail. But his dbl dbl came in the 1st half. Kansas hitting a 3 with 2 seconds left in the half tied it up, but Otherland started the 2nd half on a 7-0 run, after a Kansas Jayhawks Timeout, it was all Kansas from there on. as they coasted along, outrebounding Otherland 57-42 and stopping Belkhaouos from even touching the ball offensively with 0 shot attempts, with 21 minutes left in the game, en route to a 106-92 win

at 5-7 now, Otherland still only 1 game, and a 100 point differential back from a playoff spot. Sit in 6th place in their division. Coach Troy Valmont, now desperately trying to figure out, what the problem with his team is. Here are their losses on the season:
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845405/boxscore.aspx lost 88-77 on a buzzer beater
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845413/boxscore.aspx Lost by 9 at home 117-108, team's 2nd leading scorer an 0-9 performance, rest of team combined 45-84.
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845421/boxscore.aspx best team in league, lost 138-82
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845444/boxscore.aspx Lost it on road as other team went on a 13-0 run in final 2 minutes to close game out 84-79
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845453/boxscore.aspx vs best team in other division, resting 2 starters. 117-77
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845469/boxscore.aspx on the road, pissed away a huge lead in the 4th quarter, getting outscored 46-24 in the 4th, and losing a game that they were close in late despite losing the lead, 110-99
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/42845477/boxscore.aspx At home, went on 7-0 run to start 3rd, up 52-45, before Other team took a timeout, and then took over.

What's the reoccuring trend? Coach Valmont thinks poor PG play, forcing him to play Falcao at PG instead of at SG where he can be more effective defensively, is a huge part of the problem. Rebounding looks to be another issue. What is Otherland's mkost pressing concern? 7 players on Otherland average dbl digit scoring. 6 players getting atleast 5 rebs a game. 16 team turnovers a game is concerning. Where do the good things end, and the problems begin, are there even good things?

Otherland Owner Troy Valmont's first move with the budget, firing PR manager Yanar Naghiyev, and hiring Ognjen Davidov. Ognjen Davidov with more of a national Appeal focus, than Naghiyey's crowd involvement, and is Advanced as opposed to comptent. Otherland trying to shake things up

How much do PR managers help as far as ticket sales the and the like I haven't pursued getting one am I missing out on much?

They help a ton for ticket sales I feel... I (new PR guy,s o may change), went from 30% last year with the basic-ish guy no specialty, to over 90% every home game this season, with a lvl 3 guy, with home crowd thing.

They also give your team a slight boost in how they play home vs road, based on their specialty, I heard.
Since my team has choked 3 games on the road... I figure I need the road guy more. Plus, more road wins = more fans at home games anyways.

Sounds like they help I'm about 60%-75% full

What helps the most is winning away games. It also depends on what you do with your teams. If you keep the same team and are winning you should sell out or close to it without one. If you blow your team up and your losing then having one would be a great idea. In my opinion their best for lower division teams with money to spend on that kind of stuff. The financials of this game become way more complicated as you move up in division.(unless your stadiums huge) so beware of what you spend your money on. But the trainer specialties really help.

Thats somthing I'm still trying to get (a trainer) its insane how much they are I still have the crappy one they gave me and I'm looking at paying 700k for a level 4 trainer! come on. especially when I get paid weekly and I have 10k less every time and I don't know why my ticket money does cover it but still its a pain

The after party is too much! Will break news later, right now, is party time! Otherland wins it on a tip in with 11 seconds left, on the road, after a missed shot was rebounded. final score 77-76

Taking on the winless "Bricksquad" in Bricksquad's home turf, proved to be tougher than Otherland expected. Otherland held Bricksquad to 29-79 shooting, including 2-23 from beyond the arc. However, Otherland didn't fare any better shooting 28-82, and only 3-16 from beyond the arc. Otherland did have success going 18-22 from the free throw line. Otherland was outplayed at nearly every position on the court, players giving a real lackluster commitment out there. Stuart Huey the only Otherland player with any offensive success on the night shooting, 9-19, 1-4 beyond the arc, 1-2 at the line, with 20 points 5 rebounds 2 assisst and 1 steal. Zwirski, with his backup now healthy, decided to not let him even come off the bench going the distance shooting 5-14, 0-4 from downtown, converting 9-10 at the line for 19 points 9 rebounds 2 assisst 1 steal 1 block and 5 turnovers. Chung Hui, whom got an offensive rebound and tip in for the game winner with 11 seconds left shot 2-8, including 1-4 from 3 pt land, 1-2 splitting free throws at the line, for 6 points 11 rebounds 8 assissts and 2 turnovers.

This one was just a down and gritty defensive struggle for both teams all game. But in the end, Otherland came out on top.

Today Otherland's GM made a move, acquiring wily veteran Stuart Watt to play PG. Watt was acquired for 4026, and looks to be the regular starter once his gameshape is used to Otherland's style of play. Watt's strong passing and handling, looking to be instrumental in taking some of the load off of Falcao whom many teams have zoned in on as being a "key player" to Otherland's success. This also allows Falcao to play the 2-3 spots, where he is much more natural.
