BuzzerBeater Forums

No I feel guilty every time I post here thinking that Dire, Mllama, Coachnoodles etc are getting more angry about the "spam" in their forum. But I will point out that while it is obviously early and things can change, the way the teams approach their first game can give a hint of their plans.

Zazzocalypse 28 point loss.
Kynlala Knights 24 point loss.
Hadders Heros 13 point loss.
Chelsea Seagulls 27 point win.

Obviously it is just one game and means nothing in the long term. But a serious bounce team I would have assumed would have gone all out to get those early wins to intimidate their opponents.

I know of a team which was about 6th in div 2 at the All Star break in season 15 , and went on to promote that season.

But enough of that, Id love you to tell us all what your crystal ball is saying will happen in the ABBL this season

I know a team that went 0-4 to start that same season but who ended up on top of their conference and may have promoted if it wasn't for a very famous scandal.

Scandal is a bit of a strong word isnt it?

To my knowledge nothing happenned that was outside of the rules.

Bit sad that it broke poor Beechys heart

haha wha?

I think the talk around here lately has been good. I don't think any of that IV.7 spam you see sometimes has made it here yet?

I can work on that if you like?

Cool. IF I ever make it back next time I will do some more serious writeups on the league. I didn't feel motivated this season, tanking destroys your soul.

"ignore the inevitable and simply struggle and relegate" <<<that sounds like me.
who will "tank"<<i should do this.
who will concentrate on the cup<<will probably end up doing this as a compromise.

You can do it Yoda

who;

"Will risk it all but not make the top of a podium"?
Who will be content to "avoid relegation without really pushing themselves"?
Who will "tank"?
Who if anyone will "ignore the inevitable and simply struggle and relegate"?
Who will concentrate on the cup?
Who will win the cup?
Who will go bankrupt?
Who will go bot?
Who will hold the championship tropy aloft?
Who will be the big improver?
Who will be the surprise packet?
Who will slide down the ladder?

It isn't funny not being on the Smeltztroopers side. What is funny is that they beat Slam ! by 27. Next they have WA IS A DUMP and their GS may not even crash too much even with three games a week as I suspect they were training it for the playoffs. Could grab some wins from Billy Hoyles Boys or Pancakes with Jam and Cream before GS starts to really stink and they become an easier target. I would love it if they got a top division II or ABBL cup opponent next(as long as it isn't me).

Since you asked anyway, I can do an exclusive unbiased prediction for the great 8.. yes I'm bored today.

Whitebeard and WA will battle it out for #1 and #2 again. I reckon Whitebeard has the edge now after bringing in Cranshaw, so I think WA needs to make a move in order to take top spot and have another serious crack at the title. I can't see anyone making a serious challenge to those two this season.

I'd say Koop, HA and Pancakes are the next tier of teams. Koop has ncie depth, but lacks the star power to challenge the big 2. I'd back the depth to get him 3rd over the course of the season though. If Pancakes brings in a player or two, he can get 4th or maybe 3rd, otherwise HA will probably grab 4th.

I think Billy Hoyles Boys' team looks a bit behind the others at the moment, so unless he makes a move, he'd probably slot into 6th.

Smeltz obviously is expected to go bot, but may be able to snag a couple of games early in the season. Slam looks like he is going the full blown tank, but will have to be careful that he can win enough games to go past Smeltz (if he wants to have a crack at staying up).

I'm expecting someone to take advatantage of the Smeltz bot and Slam tank to do a full tank and slot into 6th though. Who knows who

There we have it
