Pretty epic game between me and Crockers tonight, pretty lucky to get the win. Not sure whether Pitman will be regarded as having a good game for his efficient high scoring effort, or as a villan for this finish to regulation time in the game:

4 0:25 96 — 95 C. Flinders (H) brings the crowd to its feet with a powerful slam
4 0:25 96 — 95 E. Robustelli (A) is called for a shooting foul.
4 0:25 96 — 96 C. Flinders (H) sinks the free throw.
4 0:25 96 — 96 D. Woolnough (H) and C. Flinders (H) will swap positions on the court.
4 0:25 96 — 96 H. D'Ambrosio (H) will come off the bench to replace D. Woolnough (H) at PG.
4 0:25 96 — 96 Free throw missed by C. Flinders (H).
4 0:25 96 — 96 R. Málaga (A) grabs the defensive rebound.
4 0:02 96 — 96 M. Wayne (A) pulls up at the top of the key and takes a shot. Shot missed.

(You can imagine my cursing after the foul, and my celebrating after the FTs...)

Lucky?


Pretty scary how good your team might be if you werent playing a trainee 22 yo 102 K centre for 48 mins in the PG position.

Come finals your team will have incredible scope for improvement with just a couple of minor positional changes.

Plus you have a fairly big edge over the rest of us when it comes to managerial nous.

8 rounds of cross over games to begin next week.

Any predictions as to how many more wins or losses the Big 8 will have compared to the Great 8 at the end of these 8 rounds?

I dunno - looking at Wayne's numbers he's not exactly been a hindrance at PG. Who knows, it might be the long term spot for him!

Certainly getting a few points, rebounds and assists as a PG but ranks almost triple as a PF

Yeah, I think the ratings are a bit flawed in that they assume that he is also defending at PG. Which clearly he isn't.

Yes that is a flaw in the system.


Given his increasing salary you have definite "motive" to promote.

With both Motive and capability to promote you nearly have to be favourite.

Makes one wonder whether your only loss, was intentional so that you could fly under the radar a little bit

His salary barely increased last season, and probably won't increase much this season. Not much motive there. Bukarica's salary will probably increase faster.

Personal feeling at the moment is that there are probably four teams who can win it with their current roster and positioning. But I wouldn't class myself as favourite for sure, and I don't really have much motivation to push too hard to get back to the ABBL.

Was a great game to watch, once pitman missed those free throws I new I was gone with 2 foul outs. Im just looking forward to having my full strength team for the first time this season with garrett finally back.

Assuming perhaps wrongly that you and i are 2 of the 4 teams that you referred to,, who are the other 2 teams that you rank most likely?

:?

Damn massive defense ratings mate, you made mince meat of me! Good to know where I stand I guess and that is a long way off the pace..

I would suggest Crocker's would be up there, perhaps my guys until this recent loss. :(

Well I flagged Crockers a few weeks ago as being a potential contender, but then again its Mllamas list of 4 and not mine.

I wasnt all that confident against yourself so the nature of the win was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

I still have high regard for your team as it might just have been an off night for your guys.

One would assume that JW City Bulls would be in Mllamas considerations as well.

Mllama must be the logical favourite though considering how much stronger they will be when The Duke slots into the 3, 4 or 5 spot and they play a PG in the PG position
