Cheers, Bevers. Good luck mate. For those of us who will become spectators by the time GF series start, it's going to be a great series.

Well written man, I am certainly in hope that your predictions are right, though will my new guys be enough to hold off his new bigs is my question..

Gday Mate

Sorry for haven't turned up for so long, it's been some real busy days for me and I get online not as often now. I was going to quit BB, well maybe, and come back to this game after my school is over. Don't get me wrong here, that is a past tense! :P Today's game the boys had a real crack and as a manager I couldn't find any reasons to leave them! That was unexpected and my boys deserve a round of applause here. :D

LOL great game tonight Bevers, thanks for giving me that slacks!

Oh btw Matty I have read through your posts and they are excellent! Keep it up and count me in for whatever stuff, I'll be in full support on you!

Good luck to all the playoff teams,

Zinga

Hey Zinga welcome back,

Don't leave the game mate, it is too good to do that! So well done for CTing Bevers and Matty CTing me, shame for bevers he had tghe better team on the night doing it.. Matty selling, i did notice, So good luck all, I may sound cocky but with the money I am spending I don't see any red team having a chance, and Zinga, well 2 levels of enth was a great win but you won't get near bevers next time.. Crockers Vs Vikings, Hope to see the North men bring it home. :)

agree that I won't have any chance the next time meeting Bevers this season. Well i don't even think i can go that far LOL. Anyway it would be a tremendous GF, can't wait to see it!

Well done, ZinGa and, as ShaBoom called it, the game's too good too quit. Of course, our persoanl lives are (as much as we must admit it sometimes) more important than BB ("sometimes" lol) and BB can take a back seat. Hell, my personal life is absolute hell at the moment. I'm just glad that I can get on BB and forget about that several times a week.
You and I had to CT our games: you to make the four and me to get HCA. Well done for getting the win and making the finals. When I did the pre-finals predictions I was going to add that it was a shame that you were unlikely to maske the finals (having to play CROCKERS) given how well your team had gone this season. It's great to see you did it.

@ ShaBoom, I tried, mate but I had little to work with! lol Didn't think I'd sell all my players (especially both of my bigs) so quickly and thought I might have a chance originally CTing you...but with no bigs...ouch...those big guys of yours hurt! lol Hell, my standin PF for the game (Giggino Filicori) is my only orginal player and a sentimental favourite with Magick fans) and he fouled out quicker than lightning. It was nice to see our backcourts matching up. If, IF, you don't win this season, and then you survive XBB's assault on the championship next season, my backcourt is going to cause you some serious problems I think. At the very least, the matchups would be mouthwatering. Good luck to you and everyone else playing in the finals. I will be bowing out in my meeting with Cheltenham Bombs and preparing to open up the Moorditj State Bank next season.

BTW, despite the slight changes to my original predictions (thanks for stuffing that up, ZinGa LOL) I still see no reason why the finals won't play out as I have predicted. Both the CROCKERS and the GC Vikings, having TIEd the last home games are set to make their individual pushes for the ultimate prize.

Hey hows it going mate?

you seem like a fairly experienced manager so I want to get an honest opinion.

do you think im a chance in the playoffs against this team? after comparing it to mine?

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/38677/overview.aspx

i mean i would need to win through to the grand final, which i am 99% sure i will, and he is likely to be my opponent

although i finished on a 22-0 record, i wont obtain auto promotion if i dont win :(

Hello again, Roozer. Firstly, there are others far more experienced than myself but I'm happy to give you my opinion.
I just had a quick look at both your teams and will say this:
1. I think you've got him covered fine in terms of matchs up;
2. He has played PTB (push the ball) almost every game (well the eight or so I looked at were all PTB) which, given his relative success, shows he matches up well against teams. No surprises there as his team is fairly good except he has a hole at the C position. However, his rookie, 19 yr old Jolly is a terrific C and will be a candidate for U21 selection I would guess from what I can see. So, while he has no monster C like yourself, Jolly is good. His PF, Raykundalia (47K) is decent too;
3. You have varied your tactics, playing RnG one week, LI the next. You can because you have the players to do so. I must admit that despite your strengths in bigs ($173k Murulauk etc) you have great success runinng RnG tactics;
4. Given your last meeting with this guy (which you had a good win) I would again exploit his weakness (bigs) which is a strength for you as your guards seeme to handle his well;
5. If you meet in the Final series (which looks likely) you will have HCA! A huge plus.

I have two concerns:

1. Enthusiasm. While I didn't check all of yours and his games to try and decipher how you two compare here I noticed that you (top of the ladder) CTed Tate's All Stars not that long ago (which he TIEd) and you only just beat him. This worries me. It tells me that your enthusiasm is down or that Tate's All Stars just happened to TIE lots of games and it was high when the two of you met. You will have a better insight into that I'm sure. If you are confident your enthusiasm will be fine then all will be well...however, this leads me into the second concer;
2. Your side of the Division seems to be harder hence you will have a harder run perhaps than Corio... However, again, without really examining the other teams I can't be sure of this.

Final words:
Given that your enthusiasm isn't bad and you can make your way to the final with some ease, and that your direct opposite doesn't get too easy a run to the final, I'm confident that you will win the series. Of course, I'm not going to suggest what tactics to play but you will have the added bonus of having HCA. I don't know if any of what I have said helps but there it is.

hey mate, many thanks for the response.

my enthusiasm is only 6 going into the first playoff game, which i know is really low.

i think the flaw with the other team is that he plays a 2-3 zone every game, which would open up nicely for me if i play run and gun

home court might just save me if i can get through to the final by playing playoff normal.

lets see how we go hey, and good luck with your team

cheers
