You didn't even beat me by 100 points you scrub.

Interesting the complexion that this weeks results put on the cup.

Of the top 4 salaries in the ABBL, only 1 remains - Sid. But you'd suspect his focus would be on the league, and with Koop now being able to fully focus on the league, any league loss would be a killer. Not sure if he is going to be willing to tank the league games that are normally necessary to win the cup. So the race for the cup is wide open, unless Sid chooses to make it his primary focus at the expense of being the leading contender for the league.

Interestingly, of the ABBL teams that are left, only 3 have previously won the cup - myself, the Goldfish and Urmummas. I'm not a serious contender, and barring a big buyup, the Goldfish aren't either. So barring a win from Urmummas (who are now the second highest salaried team left in the cup), we'll have a first time cup winner this season (Unless Dire wins it. Again. I won't rule it out).

Plus 1 great analysis of the cup looking forward.

Perhaps Koops is going to focus on B3, where he is currently 3rd on the ladder and an absolute certainty (unless he sells down) to make it to the knockout stage.

At some stage I got to restructure my team, Im thinking that I will sell Brethes, Palmeri and Ott and I will try to find another starting PG and a high quality combo centre/PF.

Somehow I got to do this restructure without losing any games.

The decision to sell Ott is not an easy one to make as he has been a cornerstone of my team, but I need another beastly tall

With regards to Koop focusing on the league now that hes out of the cup, maybe Im thinking over optimistically but my gut feel is that he will sell down again in similar fashion to last season after he has made sure that he will avoid relegation

Actually ive managed to pickup dire this next round. He has HCA but ive got a pretty team at the moment. This weeks gameshape update will be important.

But I like my odds of beating him

Just go through Driscoll and you will beat him. Although he might buy some big men by next week.

I reckon urmummas will have the best chance to win the Cup since he has the second salary. mllama is spot on, Sid would rather put his priority on the league title.

But of course Sid is hoping I would sell down, so he can sneak in the double this season =p
Take your pick Sid, the Cup or the ABBL? Foenix has made my decision for me already.
