Boehoeeee.... Why oh why?

Did I write something wrong?

As I was 7th last year I know that details can make a difference between a win and a loss. The game engine is difficult to understand... I think my team isn't that bad at all but I wasn't sure at the beginning of the season.
So I try to get as quickly as possible outside the relegation positions...
afterwards we see what's possible...

My team is quiet old and I should renew my key players...

Yep, exactly... I had a good run in the cup, but thanks to the drawing this comes to an end...

well, eventually the teams you want to avoid get into a smaller and smaller group and chances to go against them get bigger...

I have a strong opponent too, luckely for me I get to play at home...
Which still is no guarantee. Luckely Sammy got his 48 minutes, because if it was the other way around, and Eeckhout would have 48 and Sammy 43, then I'd have to play Sammy in the cup and it would have be the end for sure. Now I have some chance to get 1 moe round.

Varkelis as shooting guard for the all-star game.

What a joke :-D

Noooo don't hit me bibou...

All star voting is a big joke to start with.

players who play most minutes in the league games get most chances of getting more votes.

It's kind of like the MVP voting. Back in the days when some of my players might not have been THE best, but very sure be among the 10 best of the lot of DivI players, none of them got votes for MVP, just because I divided my minutes perfectly, and had everyone start 1 game and back-up 1 game, and then had a good mix with cup-games. Therefor the better of my team averaged about 25 minutes for league games, for to few for getting votes.

I never bothered though, and still don't, I think dividing minutes is much more important then playing the best players excessive minutes to get votes.

Hey, maybe Sammy has some... ;þ

Still, congratz to the peolpe with All-Stars, I'll go check out which they are right now.
And I wonder if our side finally will be able to win, or that we still are the worst side in the BBBL. ;þ

the all-stars ARE very strong, let there be no doubt. It's not unusually the best players playing most minutes in the games, leading to strong all-stars.

But it's very possible some strong players, who might be in the same level, aren't mentioned because they had not enough minutes. There can only be 10 on each side ofcourse.

On an other note, yey, I'm still in the cup... Wizards wsn't easy, especially not when my players only get half of their FTs in, while the average skill is at 10 for FTs. But once Wizards stopped fouling, my men took lead and didn't slack.
The remaining teams are all dangerous to each other, well maybe not to sonics.

Let's see who's playing who next thursday.

Thank you for the compliments...

I'm surprised myself of my good start this year... but I have a very difficult program the next month.
Unfortunately I lost in the cup to early (TIE vs Crunch on the road against mod-revo)

My only goal is to stay in the BBBL and I think it's almost done.
I also try to renew my team little by little... I foresee 1 other transfer of a young and good player on the SF position this season...


good luck to all of you.

i hate CTing in general, but i still don't get why you didn't go normal against me. i was almost sure that you would play normal, since you had saved your big guns for me... so i went with a CT, since i though i had a chance at advancing another round or 2. my goal was the semi finals of this seasons cup. i made the quarterfinals 2 seasons ago, and with my team having quite some bad luck in my own division, i didn't have much left other than the cup...

tbh, i was hoping to play Antwerp Giants in the cup at some stage.

would have given Tim a chance to get a revanch game since our last encounter ;)
