Spits on 4 game winning streak, heating up the city- Calgary, AB

The Calgary Spitfires are on a roll, and the Cowtown faithful have begun to fill the seats. They have faced icey-roads and terrible drivers to make there way to the arena in full force. "The other drivers in this city are completely terrible! They should make roads like they do ski hills, only the pro's can take the Black Diamond routes, keep the noobs on the white square or whatever! But the real fans are starting to show up." claimed old man Andrieucetti from the Spitfires locker room. The 36 year old Italian Centre/Forward has had his fair share of skiing experience, growing up in Italy, a short jog from the Swiss Alps. "I like the snow." he explained. The experienced vet had a game high 30 points and 17 rebounds against cross-conference rival SnowSnowBoarder, in a huge victory for the Spitfires.

Recently acquired Koang Tegus struggled shooting in the game, but lead the team with defensive rotations and had a few clutch steals in the 3rd quarter to help seal the win. "I like win." explained the Chinese two-guard.

Despite early season doubts, the Spitfires have taken the 4 last games and look to be on a surprise roll with the rest of the cross-conference games coming up on the schedule.With big games coming up in the next few weeks against Div.III powerhouses SonyRoxUrKox and Iqualiut Ice Testicles, Coach RA will take the wins where he can get them.

Management has found a good balance and have slightly lowered ticket prices for the holiday season. The Spitfires Fourtwenty Charity Organization have given over 2800 tickets to different charities including Special Olympic Basketball, Lung Cancer Awareness, Medical Marijuana Research and TARDS-R-US.

Guard/Forward Frank Holtz is eagerly awaiting the next home game against the hated Montreal Koolers, not only because of all the "special people" in the stands, but as the opposing team is a good test for his team. "I just hope they don't start makin' zombie noises and sh*t. That sh*t freaks me out man!" Oft-compared to NBA rising-star Demar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors, "F-Ho" is still learning his abilities and getting a handle on the game. He is showing a good consistency, but needs to step it up to an All-Star level. "Give me another season or two, I'll be reppin C.Dot fo life."

Great post.

Great stuff, hope to see more of this kindve stuff from other managers :)

SonyRoxUrKox

Powerhouse indeed!

this is a good alternative spot to post "press releases" outside of the supporter feature i guess

Just prowling div III leagues getting some information when I come across: (39486655).
those are some pretty insane ratings at the div III level. Looking at the roster they are not very balanced. One 100k big man, a 50k big man, a 40k big man and a 30k big man. Guards are not looking so hot though. Either way how can someone afford a team like this at the div III level!? 315k salary! Im at 308k and im not making that much money per week, I find this crazy. This team did not even sell out a 9000 capacity arena in this game. They must be bleeding money right now, at least it would seem that way, just wanted to see other peoples thoughts. is this as crazy as I think it is or am I crazy? lol

Losing $$$ for sure but that team was in D2 last year so they likely have some cash saved up. Or they're going to be bankrupt before they can promote.

Still not the biggest D3 payroll I've seen. Serenity Now was over $400,000 while trying to promote late last season.

Yeah, I play him in the cup and I'll be playing starters and using normal enthusiasm. He was in my D.II last season and he's probably much closer in competitiveness with me now after I promoted and he demoted.

Yeah, but that was a roster bought just for the playoffs, this manager is trying to sustain a roster like this for a whole season, madness.

Stajan: haha thats pretty funny, the roster is not very balanced though :P

Pursuit of Perfection

Okay Ill be keeping track of the undefeated teams in div III here. I have been EXTREMELY lazy with this Canada division III thing nd im sorry, so I will start with some easy stuff at first.

III.1
Team Dragon(24900)
Been in III.1 since season 10 and finally look like they might be able to promote. This team has a great balanced starting lineup, but not very much depth at all. Got a little lucky with the scheduling as they got Jordans Jets(my favourite in this league) at home and pulled out a 3 point lead. They have had 3 single digit victories and the games were back to back to back. Should finish interconference play perfect and should not have a scare until the last game of the season.

III.4
Van Cougars(33301)
Been in III.4 since season 14 and have made the semifinals the last two seasons, but this looks like their season. Not greatly balanced, but they have some dominant bigs including Canada U21 center Henry Mills(17731423). Not too strong at the guards position. They were able to beat Crazy Bongos and their 315k roster on the road with more effort by 8 points. With Fireballs, Aeterna and Venomizer still to come and being on the road against Aeterna they still have some chances for a slip up, lets see how they do.

III.6
Botwood Raptors(24905)
In Division II from season 7-15 and then again last season Botwood Raptors are disappointed to be in division III and are proving that they do not belong here. They have some depth with their bigs, but not with their guards at all. They have a strong balanced starting lineup however including a great point guard at the div III level. With three single digit games they have had some scares. All three games were 5 points or less as well including 1 point victory against the other conference 1st place team petone hurricanes at home. Two more scary games to go against the #2 and 3 teams in their conference, but both are at home and so they should finish this season perfect.

III.7
The Shufflers(33951)
In only their third season in div III it seems mc5huffl35 has already got the hang of this game. Not only undefeated, but one of the 7 div III teams in the final 32 of the Canada Cup. On their Cup they have knocked out two Naismith teams and are going for their third this Thursday. They have not had any scares this season as a 10 point win on the road has been the closest they have to losing this season. Still have the top two teams from the other conference though and those could prove to be tough games. A very balanced and deep team has carried The Shufflers this far and they seem to be the favourites to promote this season.

III.8
Montreal Visoreds(24919)
In division II.4 since season 5 this is unfamiliar territory for the Visoreds. They have not let it faze them though. With a very balanced and strong team they have been rolling this season. One of the bigger salaries in div III and one of the deadliest rosters in the hands of one of the most experienced managers. Not one game that has been close this season and they look to continue rolling to an undefeated season.

III.9
Iqaluit Test Icicles(25029)
Iqaluit Test Icicles have been in III.9 their whole time in Buzzerbeater. Which started in season 8! Unfortunately they were put in a division where by the time they had a strong team they were in one of the toughest conferences in division III. It seems to have gotten easier with Fundamentally Sound promoting and Haaa rebuilding, but they still have some competition. A balanced roster led by a 70k monster has gotten them all this success and they hope to continue forward. Not many scares this season and should only have two the rest of the season when they play Rugrats on the road and Sony Rox ur Sox on the road.
