have i told you of my plans for my stadium -- to cap my bleachers at 4500?

Woh, I thought my Utopia plan was crazy, but you're really going all out on the unusual methods.

That sounds kind of like my SF Poom. He's 35 and dropped in a few skills, so I'm trying to remember how many he had. I think he was at 111 skill points before he was completely capped. I'm impressed you got your Superstar guy up to 114. What age did you stop training him at?

Watkins capped at age ~26-27. When I drafted him, my vision for him was a LI PG but I was in the middle of training my SF Valdeon at the time. So he ended up getting lots of big training ... something I might not have done if it wasn't for Valdeon. Now, those inside skills are his strongest assess as most of his scoring are either dunks or driving layups.

There are many players in the 10inch Vertical Most Hated Player Hall of Fame, and Watkins and Poom are longstanding members (along with Craig Pratt, and I can't forget Easley).

Poom/Watkins have very close to the same amount of skill points as Calo, Do, and Xuanguang...my problem is I've put too many skill points in Passing (and Handling) and it's jacked-up my salaries. I'm guessing Watkins and Poom have more inside skills though (especially more than Do).

I think Poom tops my list...and then a close second is anyone who has played for the Silverbacks.

CT'd. Expected it. Couldn't get online to finish buying some more fill-ins. Easely fouled out in 16 mins (with 14 pts). Eff.

ouch, that sucks!

I'd like to point out that the bot team who knocked me out of the cup is still alive in the tournament. If any of you draw the Little Rock Lobshots, don't underestimate them! Trust me.

Is your server clock correct? I'm in CA and the local time is 10:34am but my server clock is at 17:34. The countdown clock for tonight game is correct though. When did this change? Which clock do we follow for the TL?

My walkover tonight against Cross Chargers was unintentional....I set my lineup for both of my teams back to back, and I didn't have any issues with my Utopian team...so this walkover caught me by surprise...I am sorry.

i don't think my team's basketball intelligence is very high. TKI is playing with a minimal crew, and last night i face four of his best players and one 29 year old playing for minimum wage. now TKI's coach does a good job of rotating his 5 players throughout the game -- and for my boys, it is sort of find the weak link, and exploit it -- sometimes it could be at SF, sometimes at SG, whatever . . .

it got ludicrous last night -- my starting SF, who faced Miller for much of the night, shot 3 for 13. eventually, his 29 year old fouled out and was replaced by a Lucky Fan for the better part of two quarters. could my guys find him? no -- and when they did, Lucky stopped many shots. crap, he even dunked once on my starting PF -- pretty humiliating.

bottom line, magiker handed me the game last night, and i want to say thank you. when he decides to deepen his bench, my idiots won't know what to do.

So I just noticed your guard that's for sale. He's got 17 JR! I wish you had a team built for an outside offense, would love to see how good he'd be at 3's in the NBBA.

just for laughs, i did a search for everybody with a JR over 17.

1) Booker(20750260) : JS 16 / JR 18. 39%. but in a DIII in Serbia. DR 13 / HA 14

2) Vujosevic (12097742) : JS / JR both 17. but shoots only 29%. DR 11 / HA 10?

3) Ognjanovic (17112186) JS 15 / JR 17, DR 14 HA 17. i would think these are very promising numbers, but he only shoots 29%. owner runs LI.

4) Golovin (15074869): JS 20+ / JR 18. DR 20+ HA 16. Yikes. surely this guy hits 3s? stuck out on SF, he hits 3s at a 25% clip. what a waste -- this is playing in DIII in Argentina. over his career, he has had seasons of around 4 3s a game and hit 45% -- one of those seasons, at least, the owner ran a Base offense.

5) Jussila (15101941): JS 16 / JR 17 DR 15 HA 16. with cws33 as his guide, he has shot a bit under 30%. one season, his coach ran a RunNGun and the fellow shot 44% on 9 shots a game. in DIV, Portugal.

6) Ben-Zvi (26436054) JS 18 / JR 18 but DR 13 HA 12. but 46%. wow. but it was a 3 man team in DIV Serbia. but the dude is only 24; right now the price is $500,000, but the salary is $116,000

Lesson? i don't see how a LI (or probably LP) produces a 3-pt shooter. when these guys have been most useful, i haven't seen a single example of their having played an inside offense. so that shoots down one of my thoughts -- just to have a guy available, maybe off the bench, who can come in and can a series of 3s.

nest? study Delta 9 -- he has a couple of shooters hitting 40% from downtown.
