I'm in the same place as you. This crew took their shot and didn't get to the top of the mountain so now it's just playing out the string. It's so hard to make B3 that you can't blow it up while you're in there. We have puncher's chance, right? Maybe everyone down the knockout bracket will foul out and get injured.
I think Brooks is ok but he costs too much. The real problem is I never figured out what to do with my forwards. I've got a couple million left now but not enough to fix the problems. I might even invest it in trainees?
And yeah, Marshland's "real players" played 21 or 22 games, most of the rest of us had guys around 17 or so.
