Here's an interesting scenario: my next game against the team I think is the best in the league.

Under normal circumstances, this guy would wipe the floor with me however this week my gameshape is a bit better than it is normally and I'm playing this game at home.

I also have an injured player though...which means I'll only be running with 9 people on the court but that player wasn't that important

Here's my opponents typical play (Ballistic): (26253357)
Here's my typical play (this game might have an extra enthusiasm point) (Allied Precise Gunmen): (26253358)

If I run a 3-2 defense, I think I'll be able to get a PD rating of Strong (low) or possibly even (medium). This will obviously negatively impact my advantage on him over rebounding though.

So at the end of the day though, his average (high) Outside Shooting will go against my Strong (low) PD. Considering he plays man-to-man next game (which I believe would be his best tactic), my average (low) Inside shooting would go against his Average (high) inside defense.
This means that he would have only one negative sublevel against my defense and I would have two negative sublevels. The thing that makes me feel better though is that my Outside shooting would be much better than his inside shooting. I think it's also slightly important to note that I have better offensive flow, so his advantage isn't that great and the HCA is always there for me as well.

So, in case anybody actually read me thinking out loud, do you think I'll win this game? At first I was considering just TIEing the game and throwing it, but if I could win that would obviously be great so I've decided to normal (though that decision is subject to change if you guys make me a believer that it isn't worth it).

Including my two most recent Cup games, I'm playing five consecutive road games right now. What's up with that?

Five games and all I get out of them is likely to be the 50k I won last night.

similar to smallfrie, i should promote to IV this season. what do you guys think of my team?

Looks like you've got a good team that'll at least be competive next season, and if you manage enthusiasm and gameshape well you could be looking at a very successful season. Promotion would be dependent on what D.IV you go into.

Mizzou, barring some huge upset, I'd think your team should go undefeated with good enthusiasm in V.



That scrimmaging idea I'd like to be apart of, but not at the expense of a playoff bid.

Hmm, unfortunately it appears as if the scrimmage tournament won't be taking off, maybe we could just put our names in and do a little round robin thing for fun.

D.IV 12 Through 7

Big 8-Xenia has seperated itself from the pack while Bostn has fallen out but the other 6 teams are all relatively close, especially consindering todays results.
Pinoy(3-4) 109- Bostn(0-7) 86: An expected result, Pinoy continues to beat the teams it should but struggles against the big boys.
Suns(4-3) 121- Bullseyes(5-2) 104: A huge road win for the Suns, fairly unexpected, Bullseyes had looked secure as Big 8's #2 but this result throws that into doubt.
Firestorm(3-4) 52- Xenia(7-0) 86: Xenia closes out the first round of conference games with a blowout to stay unbeaten.
ATL(4-3) 94- Twobit(2-5) 95: Bigtime upset, ATL has stumbled recently.

Great 8-Droids and Cappers look secure on top while GTown has gone on a recent roll to move into position for the playoffs, looking more settled so far than the Big 8.
Wall Street(1-6) 69- Iowa(3-4) 83: Needed win for Iowa as they try to keep pace with GTown and GR.
Droids(7-0) 100- Scarlet(1-6) 52: Absolute demolition of Scarlet by the Droids, reminding everyone who's #1.
Cappers(6-1) 102- Venom(4-3) 95: Good job by Cappers to secure the #2 spot for now, missed opportunity for GR.
GTown(4-3) 93- Blue(2-5) 89: GTown has looked great recently and continues to move up.

Games to watch to start interconference play
Pinoy@GTown: A good chance for GTown to prove they belong in the playoffs.
ATL@Cappers: Cappers will look to keep rolling, ATL once the Big 8's #2 needs a win to avoid falling completely off the pace.
Suns@Droids: Can Suns build on success vs. Bullseyes, they face a stiffer test in Droids.
Xenia@Iowa: Iowa has underperformed in the eyes of some to this point, looks for momentum vs. Xenia.

A look into IV.47. Just to give you an idea of the depth we have in this league. The top 5 salaried teams are all within the top 8 in the league. My team has been here for 3 seasons now and have had a tough time getting back up to D III where I was for 8 seasons. It's a tough league indeed.

I'm playing your cross-division rival, Sour Pickles in my cup match this week. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

He's a tough opponent, but if you focus inside, you'll be fine. That's been his weak point in the three seasons I've played him. You never heard it from me....

:) thanks, you get a ball for that!
