I was deep in debt, and failing fast each week. My trainers were way way overdue and costing me big bucks.

So first: I got rid of my staff.

Went a couple of week, resigned super low new staff.

Second: Got rid of my bench. Getting down to my bare payroll, I kept my core intact.

Third: Picked up a scoring SG. Fired my okay SG. Pair this new SG dude with my old timer bigs and superstar SF, and we're almost there.

Today: Picked up a superstar PG. Fired my okay PG. Did I just get that dude? WHOA! All five positions have quality talent now, everyone is experienced and near their prime.

I picked up a few bench players, and presto chango! Rebuild complete, and I'm ready to compete NEXT year. If I pick up a youngster to train I would, now that my superstar SF is trained to 94ish% capacity. Now I train stamina and a youngster. Buzzerbeater is fun again, I'm out of my spiral of debt!

Yeah you really can’t. So much goes into a single playoff game, the game shape update, the individual player match ups, being guessed and just plain old luck. Anything can happen between teams that are relatively close. We’ve all taken that heart break loss when we thought we were the better team. It sucks.

Season 48 - D3.2. I had a second place team with the league MVP. Lost in the first round when he got injured in minute 3. One of only 2 injuries he's had in his whole career.

So I know that things do happen. But a wise man said you are what your record says you are. And there are 2 teams that have been consistently better than the rest.

Season 33 NBBA, had the best record in the league, came in winning my final 10 games of the year. Felt like this was my year. Got to the conference championships against GM Jason, a team I had beaten twice already but also knew Upsyndrome awaited me in the finals. Another team I had beaten but knew he’d be very very tough. So I TIE’d because feeling I had HCA and the better team that I could hold off Jason and storm into the finals with a enthusiasm advantage. I didn’t hold off Jason. He as expected CT’d but also surprised me playing 3-2 and guessed my outside based offense, which I had spent the season purposely making it seem like I was an inside based team, and stole a 7 point win. With narrow margin for errors, records and past results are meaningless in a 1 game scenario.

Damn! I learned that lesson, too. Never overlook the first guy to get to the next guy.

No offense but I am going to be glad to be demoted from this powerful league. Hopefully see you cats down the road when more training has taken hold. Good luck to all..It's been fun.

I drop a prolific low IS in D3 and lose. What a war. Congrats Lightning, great game.

To be fair, he dropped a prolific Outside Offense

I'm glad to hear y'all say that this league is tough (mostly the Great 8). I was worried that I might relegate and now Im thinking that that wouldn't be such a bad idea....

I know! His outside offense is good for a D2 team.
