Thanks for the kind words everybody. My team may be #1 in the rankings, but suddenly sure isn't playing like it! Maybe I'm just saving all the lucky bounces for the B3 tomorrow. Yes, I'll go with that....

In any case, that was a really tough loss for me tonight. I knew it would be a difficult game to win, with my current minute issues, but I thought I put enough players into the lineup to get the job done. Looking at the box score...well, I don't know what happened. That's two games this week where I lost by quite a bit, despite thinking that I would probably win before the game started. I suppose my fountain of good luck isn't endless, even if I sometimes hope that it will be. :P

Oh well, I guess I'll go hug that #1 world ranking, and see if that makes me feel better. I was hoping to pull off a 22-0 season, as I haven't done that in Naismith yet, but I guess it's not to be. I don't think it will get any easier in the future either. We shall see.

Congrats on another B3 win. Good luck next week against the #1 seed. I think you're probably still the favourite though. If you win that 1 though, the final could be a pretty scary game. That guy stacked his team this season.

Well, I definitely did get my share of lucky bounces against Metallist Kharkov today, and a 20 point win is a much better result than I was expecting. Kharkov probably deserved a closer game, but I'll gladly take the result, and I was fortunate that an early injury to Renzo Schek (3 minutes in) didn't end up hurting me. I'm really excited that Rudi Nenadic was able to step in as the emergency reserve and get the job done.

Next week, Flumpaci is going to be a very tough opponent, and I really respect that team. Definitely one of my favourite squads in BB. I did lose to Flumpaci earlier this season in Private League by 7 points (83-90), although an early Ronald Grim foul out contributed to the loss. Of course, Ronald Grim has become a foul out machine, with 12 foul outs this season. Is it possible for players to get more aggressive as they get older? He's always been a fouler, but things have really got a bit crazy lately.

I can't imagine anyone beating Venomous Scorpions this season, but we'll see. He's got two more games left to win, and who knows...maybe there will be some B3 magic up ahead. :)

Crazy OT game against Flumpaci today. My team was trailing slightly for the whole game, but rallied in the 4th quarter, and was able to come up with some huge plays down the stretch. That was probably the most exciting game I've played in BB so far, and I'm really happy that I won. The only downside of the match was that somebody had to lose. Flumpaci was very deserving of another trip to the B3 finals, but this week, the dice just happened to roll my way.

I'll be facing Venomous Scorpions in the finals, and VS should be a heavy favourite. We'll see what happens though, and it's going to be fun. :)

Looking at the ratings you put up, I feel you should easily be the favorite. That's the highest ratings I've ever seen. And I think you have homecourt as well right?

1. Ratings inflated by OT.

2. Neutral court = no HCA.

Out from under that rock!

The guy SA is playing in the finals, during the semi-finals 7 of his players had higher game ratings than SA's top player. Pretty scary.

It's a store bought team with a $100 million payroll that loses tons of money every week and won't be together very long but he has to be considered a heavy favourite in the finals. He's blowing away every team he meets in B3.
