This is really cool. Well done. I cannot deny it, I have been trying to get to the finals the last two seasons, but Generals got me with that inside attack and strong PG play both times. First I bought guards, then I tried ID SFs, but I didn't have the balance to knock him off in crunch time. Last season I faded in enthusiasm down the stretch, and it got away.

I know we had upgraded rosters by playoffs last season, but I Believe might be forcing our hands this time by kicking off the big ticket players early in the season. If you check the player stats, the best comment so far is that we are all taking slightly different approaches, keeps it interesting.

Okay, lets get win #50. GG to Condors, I slid Aapo down to the PF/C slot to counter that inside attack. Churchill had a monster game on the glass, and you were assisting well. The interior defense causing 11 TOs from your starting frontcourt is what I think did you in. Interesting that my PG had the most points of all players but the 6.5 rating was below your entire team. Huh.

It's odd, but the turnovers really did us in despite being the higher rated team. Guess I gotta up the handling for those guys. Churchill should continue to have monster board games, I overdid the training on his rebounding, so now he's a beast.

Hey guys, there's a 99.9% chance that i lose this team on monday... since i'm bankrupt and can't get out of bankruptcy so... er well. I'll get "fired" and my team will go bot.

I'll be back eventually though... so look out for me... i'll find this league. Maybe i'll comeback here

Take note kids. Championship hangover is a thing.

Getting a decent SG certainly helped my defense...
And Barca how did you go bankrupt? Did you go for a promotion and lose or what?

Seems like he had at least 2 players with a $30k + salary last season, not sure if that contributed to it.

nah, sold a guy for 3.2mil and i expanded my arena by mistake (was just checking how much an expansion would cost)

then i got fined 3mil and ended up in major debt ;p

i was making a ton of money in d3 actually, i should have about 2.1-2.2mil if that i didnt do that arena expansion thing....


eh

What did you get fined for? Sold the guy for too much?

Whats the deal with the fines? I understand that we are getting up to where $ balance is extremely important, but I thought that BB was looking to add users, not trash their teams. This is the most patience-requiring sim for basketball, let's get some slack.

Yep, speaking from experience, I totally agree on the slack on fines here haha. I would be in d3 right now if it wasn't for mine with a great roster to potentially get to d2, but nope BB decided to dash those hopes. No matter though, now I just get to beat up on you guys more;)
