i would have expected more team to try and beat Joe...

He's sold of Chorev, and his inside is guarded by 2 players that are both very faul happy (NT's badboy Mees will throw a punch every now and then, and his mentor lequellec isn't much better in keeping his emotions in check ;)

however, our conference doesn't have alot of inside teams... Stonestars is a no brainer, but after that, we don't have any real inside powerhouse... So i'm guessing that teams are throwing their games against Joe, since they don't want to take the risk. I'd expect Ventola and sum to try it, but other than them, Joe will probably face easy games till the PO's... (i mean seriously, with a NT lvl of defense on positions 1 to 4, how the heck would you expect anyone to beat his team... you'd need a NT lvl of attack to say the least, and other than Mizu or Ventola, nobody is near that lvl of firepower to try and beat Joe...) Still, since he hasn't got the depth in the bigman area like he used to have, some teams might have a shot at defeating him now... If Mees and Lequellec are forced off with faultrouble, Joe's inside is wide open for a serious trashing... ofcours,e you need to keep his PG/SG and SF from scoring a ton of 3's, which isn't an easy task...)

makes me wonder aswell, what the heck is Ventola doing?

they've given away 2 games already, and are 7th in their conference... I'll admit that they got a though opponent in the cup this week, but to save all their bigguns for the cup last week, when they were playing home against a III team, i find that a bitt surprizing...

i guess this means that Ventola has set his mind on the cup this season and if forfeiting the league?

So the next week will be very interesting because I have to play against the two best inside teams of Belgium: Stonestars and Phoenix. But Stonestars is very different fom last season without Abu hasan and De Neef. His current C's are less strong offensively, but maybe more balanced. It's not a bad news for me I think. We will see :)

Actually you consider that Le Quellec and Freire are my only inside options, but you forget Otvetchikov and Nonnoi. How many BBBL teams have stronger inside substitute than them? Secondly, PO's are still far and I have time and money to find a good 3rd inside man who will be trained next season ;)



lol, and here Joe said in the beginning of the season: Lequellec or Chorev will be sold, and whoever it is, won't be replaced...

so much for hoping to see someone else win the title this season...

Yes, how frustrating it is!

Completely messed up with my B3 game, forgot to make my line up on time... And since i hadnt changed my standard team settings either, my team was the best possible. My point average is now very low... I dont think i could have won, but now getting through the first round will be tough.
