Unfortunately I don't think you will see the problem get fixed. The NBA is about money nothing else. When we are at a point where coaches are making 12 million a year, the system is broke beyond repair. The only way the NBA will ever get fixed is when the fans get too sick of it to buy tickets. I have long "clamoured" for salary caps and veteran maximums etc for the NBA this would be a first great step.

For the refs--the way you fix it is to get rid of the ones who don't ref. I think it would be hilarious to take 3 top notch high school officials and do an NBA game with the normal basketball rules being applied properly. The networks would love it with all the foul calls and traveling calls, palming the ball etc., they would be able to implement another 30 commercials in a games time. NBA refs have lost sight of the game...period.

Could depend on the system as well. Also, maybe aggression/physicality or tendencies.

I agree. The NBA ref's have changed the game over the past 20 years. Just call the game according to the rules and the palming, travel, and fould issues would go away.

The NHL playoffs are the best. You need to rip someones arm off to get a penalty. At least everyone knows it. Congrats to the Backhawks. Well deserved for Kane, Hossa, and Co.

Goats you are lucky armageddons don't have to worry about taking it easy to be ready for their relegation battle, so they might put a good amount of effort into their game against PCI for you

I don't see myself beating dutchmen on the road. It's 2 out of 3, right?

As for D IV, I suppose if I was armegeddon, I'd be afraid of D IV. The X-steppers, on the other hand, are not. I would like to stay here, however.

I'm not afraid of DIV at all. I'm fairly sure I'd win quite handily in most leagues, however there are teams to watch out for is all I'm saying. At worst you should finish 2nd, but 2nd is a lot worse than 1st.

I'm almost tempted to throw my qualifier and wager a year's worth of supporter on whether or not I can handle the stress of D IV with you. You look pretty silly trying to suggest that my team will have any difficulty with D IV if I keep it in tact the way it is right now.

I'm down with that. ;) I'd be sweet to finish the season on a 4-game win streak heading into the playoffs ... that is, if Armageddons pulls off the upset that my Goats so desperately need.

Or, I could say to hell with keeping my "streak of making the playoffs since joining Buzzerbeater" alive and focus on the off-season. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

Injuries are fun. My starting PF was injured two weeks ago in my walkover win against Pistons. He just got healthy and I set him up to play 48 minutes in my scrimmage to get some of game shape back. Well, he didn't make it to 48 minutes. Injured again, two weeks and out for the season.
