Congratulations.


I'll take it.

And with the first pick in the season 22 draft, "managed by a computerized player" selects... Upsyndrome's #1 rated choice! An 18 year old MVP with all skills respectable.


Nooooooooo! You better not have just jinxed me.

(of course the chances are miniscule. but you still had a chance to prevent it!)


Today at work I had a chance to prevent myself from using the woman's restroom to take a dump, but did I? No. I can't help that the woman's restroom smells like frabreez and contains strawbarry soap and scented toiletpaper rolls -- unlike the men's restroom.

Tanner not in the 3 pt contest??? ...I don't understand.

Haha but this is his 6th all star appearence (3rd ASG at PG).
So starters = Big 8 vs. Milwaukee Lethargy.
Bench = Great 8 vs. Kentucky Wildcats.

Interesting move & timing by The King and I... signing a 28 year old $100k+ PF the day after being eliminated from the cup. They're at no risk of relegation, & actually dropping down to 6th would be much better financially. Must be part of a larger plan. (Even if he got a really good deal on the player, the value will be more than eaten up by weekly salary).

No need to exaggerate. It was a whole two days (or at least a day and a half) after being eliminated from the cup. First, I got an awesome deal on the guy (...at least I think so), and second, he's just way better than Cheney, who I'll dump this week to offset the salary. There's no real larger plan. Probably going to shoot for 4th and dump some more salary as we get closer to the finish.

Actually, Bench = Great 8 + guy from Poland's Dudopol Dudowizna vs. Kentucky Wildcats! Never knew players no longer in the league could still participate, lol. So after playing in a cup game in Poland on Tues he's coming back to settle a score with Odell Rushing apparently.

Bad matchup: my $33k PG up against a $187k SG! Can't see this going well... That reminds me, I had probably the worst all-star performance in BB history while in D3. (will link it later. you've got to check that out).


Looks like the 3pt contest is basically a shoot around for the Loveable Losers with 2 other Big 8 guys invited! And being held at a Big 8 arena too. Adrián Kéri & Paul Aindow certainly deserve it, no doubt, but the other 4 guys are kind of iffy. I know you were joking, but it wouldn't be all that glaring had Tanner made it. (4 of the guys have a shooting % in the 20s...). Was hoping 1 of my guys would get in but no luck. (3rd in %, but only 8th in makes).

Nice debut by Bikácsy: Down 1, he scored the winning basket with no time left!

Ok, it makes sense if you dump Cheney. More so if you dump even more salary. (Part of why I found the move odd was that you were closing in on $300k over the salary floor. With no real upside for doing so). Otherwise the awesome value on the new guy just kinda turns into a "meh" to bad value IMO. Where you'd almost be better off overpaying for someone next season instead.

Of course I myself waste $50k/season in dead salary & have for who knows how many seasons... (30 man roster, unneeded backups, etc)

Worst All-Star game performance in BB history?

My Center in the all-star game: 40 minutes, 0 points, 5 rebs, 7.5 rating... despite PROFICIENT game shape! The only player not to score a single point, lol.

The Opposing Center: 30 points, 14 rebounds, 13 rating, despite MEDIOCRE-AVERAGE game shape. Oh yeah, he also led his team with 7 assists & made 15 of his 19 shots...


		Minutes Points  Reb   	Rating  Gameshape
------------------------------------------------------------
My Center	40	0	5	7.5	Proficient
Other Center	40	30	14	13	Mediocre-Average

Has any other starter failed to score in BB history? (excluding injury or foul-out). Funny that my center got 1000 more votes than the other guy! Oh & BTW, my SF gave up 46 points to the opposing SF also. (my backup SF now). Things like this are why I had a 10+ season all-star game losing streak.

Last season I had no all-stars despite a strong regular season performance, so I was surprised to get a backup on the squad this season. The crazy thing is I got him a couple weeks ago and he has only played 3 league games so far.

Oh wow...you weren't kidding. That is absolutely the worst All-Star game performance I've ever seen. Very impressive!

I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I somehow remember most of the names in that game (my favorite is this guy: (6374076), his name sort of sounds off-color, but really isn't). I didn't have any players in that game, but four of my guys got votes...I guess that's something.

Yeah, Parra certainly made his lone AS appearance memorable! Quite a feat with the GS disparity. His career highlights: back to back triple doubles in the cup, that AS failure, & a single MVP vote in season 11...

Completely forgot season 12 was your 1st season in the league. Of everyone, Coy Bird pops out at me most as my longtime nemesis was the '86 Celtics. Needed OT + FCP to get by them in the playoffs.


Oh wow.... just noticed i totally out-rock/paper/scissors'd you that season in the playoffs! I used motion probably every game. Except our conference finals match: (22833695)

You went with the 1-3-1 zone to stop my vaunted outside attack, & i had a feeling you would. So i tried out an inside offense... 76 rebs & 74 points!!! You got your revenge on me later though. (In our infamous shootout the season you promoted).

Didn't think I'd lose...let alone by a million points. But highest rating I've ever got I think (21.5). 18 pnts 11 rebs in 12 minutes. Wonder who did that?
