Well I haven't been active in a while, mostly because life has been hitting me pretty hard lately in a variety of ways. Anyhow, I see my team has been doing their best to take themselves not only out of any faint hopes of title contention, but out of the playoffs altogether. Hopefully the Game Engine recognizes this as nothing more than a psychological strategy to get the Raiders overconfident, so that we'll be able to unleash a devastating surprise victory.

In other Claws news...Pagan popped again in handling for back-to-back weeks, but in a way the most exciting news was a double skill drop for 39-year-old Darryl Nesbitt, hooray! I'm hoping to keep him until he's all atrocious or pretty close, in the hopes that some high-level team ((23424)?) will buy him for bragging rights.

Ahem. I know my team has been underachieving lately, but (A) I acquired a new SG/SF who I think could really help, even though Shippensburg will probably own me anyway, but (B) we still withstood a CT against TIE by Hustling Hawks to stay in the playoffs, even without Pagan, Belhadj, Caruso, or Montel. Not bad at all.

I wasn't trying to offend you or anything, I'm sorry if I did. If it makes you feel any better, I'm taking you against Bobitz.I think tht your new SG could really create some trouble. If you win that, then you could make an incredible comeback story. If you make it to the championship, and I'm there too, thats a game 3 OT. Thats how close it would be.

Not offended in the least. I'm saying this just looking at the W/L column, you can see how my team was right up there with you and Shippensburg, then for some reason they decided to stop playing and started losing. Then all of a sudden a team with once-elite status was in serious danger of missing the playoffs. It's nothing that you said.

I appreciate the vote of confidence in me vs. the Raiders. They're really good and have to be the favorites, but I hold out some hope because in our games this season I've played them close for 3 quarters or so before they pulled away. Technically those games should have been blowouts, but they weren't, so I'm still remaining optimistic. Hopefully Eini can help turn the tide, and hopefully now that Pagan has more than atrocious handling he won't get the ball stripped away from him 3 times in the fourth quarter like he did in our first game, lol. It should be a good game, especially for a #1 seed vs. #4 seed which you would usually expect to be an easy win for the #1 seed. Hopefully that won't be the case this week.

If we do win this, though, I'm resuming my case for Cedrick Pagan as the MVP (even though voting will almost certainly be out by that time with a decidedly different result). He will have been shafted. :P

That actually brings up an idea I have. We should all message Buzzerbeater about a rookie of the year award, for the top performing first year player.

Your guys are really gonna have to step up though. I mean, you can't just expect an easy win against the best team in the league. I hope that you win for mainly one reason. You honestly don't get enough credit for how good your team is, and you can prove it on Tuesday, beating the #1 team in our league!!!

Are you kidding me? 7 pops for 4 different players and Cedrick Pagan doesn't get a single one of them? He's got to be really close in JS, DR, IS, and now maybe even HA again. Maybe things will turn in my favor and he'll get a quadruple pop next week?!?

Not likely in any way possible. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. That last statement was the incubus of death and disease.

hahahha jk. Idk y I even rote tht hahahahah

Ugh. I had no idea Bobcatz was that good, but still, my team was leading in the first half and late in the third, but then we allowed a 16-2 run at the end of the third/beginning of the fourth and never recovered. Obviously my guys forgot how to play offense OR defense during that time. The only positive of this game: Cedrick Pagan dished out a career-high 14 assists with only one turnover. Other than that, just downright ugly.
