Alright, since this is my personal "What the Heck is Going On?" thread...

Normal vs. TIE... check
5 to 12 TO advantage... check
13 to 18 PF advantage... check
starting guards $78k vs $23k... check
starting C/PF $143k vs $92k... check

Oh wait, my team somehow shot 32.9% from the field? 57.9% free throws? Well that sort explains most of the rebounding and assist difference. And that 18-point loss! Not even close in the end!

I look at my stats from the past few seasons to see if my team was this bad before this season, and I just can't figure this one out. It's a strange one indeed.

Eh, it's all good fun.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

it is very strange. the black swan visits BB.

seriously though, it is probably an anomaly - a 1 in 100,000 event or maybe even less... so you will get your revenge against me when we meet again later in the season.

Carbon had a big game and didn't foul out for a change
41 11 - 13 0 - 0 4 - 4 2 17 1 1 1 0 4 26 15.0

The main problem was the third quarter - just a bad one for your team.

Yeah, I think my team is just snake bit this time around. I recognized what my team's problems were last season but rode out the storm and figured I'd adjust this season, but between the foul issues and now the shooting problems, I'm about 2 games worse than I was anticipating. I might have to go on another spending spree to save the season.

yes, he is a little miffed that there are so many better centers in our league, so he is trying to lead the league on fouls per game. So far, no one else comes close.

I am telling you - if you think this is bad, you should see him at practice.

10/27/2010 - New York Chunks has just acquired Alfonso Elizalde for $ 1 640 800.

So much for balancing my budget. Now if I have just one more terrible shooting performance...

It's funny when I see a News post about someone buying a player for ~ $1.5 million, I think to myself "Man, here comes another $100k Center in our league".

Guards are still at a premium. Much harder to train. I spend too much time watching the market...

I actually had an important deal that did not show up on the news feed. I managed to get a level 6 trainer for $5k and he saves me ~$40k per week in salary from the guy I picked up 3 seasons ago.

Guess I had held my old one for way too long, but still a $5k signing bonus for level 6?

You're kidding, right? What's his salary? Can't believe a 5k signing bonus.

That's crazy! That's all you paid? That trainer must have an awful personality...
