Cheers Yoda. lol I wouldn't call it a slaughter we were pretty even for most of the game, I just pulled away in the last 2 mins.

In regards to my guys stats, that have bit this and a bit of that... Actually their most consistent high stat is experience!! Their all old farts!

But experience is the secret weapon stat, that at age 30 it unlocks old man tactics for your players:
Old man tactics such as:
- rebound with swinging elbows to the head.
- Never falling for a crossover on defense because you can't be stuffed moving.
- dribbling with an extended arm ready to elbow the head of any wannabe stealer
- the big butt box out on the boards.
- the yelp and flop to draw out fouls.
- and more random elbows to the head.

just a couple of hours until Mikey Bergman departs BHB's and most likely the ABBL - sad day for me especially given I knocked back an offer for 5 million for him shortly before the market bubble burst.

Ha ha yes I agree, I have played with old farts and I guess, no I don't need to guess, now I am an old fart too. Looks like a fantastic season with most of the promotees having some very good players.

Noodles, Bergman didn't move very far it seems and it looks like you made a great trade getting several years younger for little cost.

Yeah got 4 years younger with what was in my book a much better skillset for what i am doing with my team at the minute. Also saving another 25k a week as well which is nice. Given i might get bundled out of the cup early this season the extra 25k will be handy.

Looks like a smart move. Too many clever people in the ABBL for my liking. I want some more bots for the occasional easy win so I can keep up my enthusiasm for later tough cup battles.

Not sure if i will survive the first round. I have been on the lookout for the right big man but doesn't look like i will bring anyone in by Thursday. My opponent has a 73k SF who could be dangerous.

Outside of that SF though, he has 3 players between 14-24k salary and then it's all 3k scrubs. If you can't beat that then there's something wrong :P

Well i don't have 5k scrubs. Couple of 30k, couple of 12 k and my trainee SF. Good defense not so much offense. I'm annoyed about tonights game Marin only got 19 minutes so i'm guessing he got injured. Probably would have been the difference :(

You aren't the only one annoyed. Two games and two close losses.

Against Slam ! with 7 minutes to go scores were even but I managed to go on a massive missing spree to lose the game.

Against Urmummas I shot better, had a massive rebounding advantage 55-31 and still somehow managed to lose by two in the last three seconds of the match.

I was so excited when I got Olli Krentschker, what a freak of nature a PF with such high JS, JR and OD I figured I would be challenging the top teams instead since he arrived everything fell apart.
