Hey guys. I've tried to get in contact with a few of you separately through bb-mail to have a chat but posting here will probably be easier.
Week 9 of Season 15 and the big 8 conference is looking really tight with only a 50 point differential separating myself and Courtside Live with the Eaton Boomers hot on our heals. With such an exciting season being played out I'd expect there to be more chatter and excitement. I know we're only division IV but I'm still on the edge of my seat most of these games.
To get the conversations started I'll lay down a few topics for us to discuss:
Most Improved Team: In my eyes it would have to be the Eaton Boomers. After playing against them all last season I was blown away with the big changes they made to their roster which made them a top contender for this seasons title. To be perfectly honest I was a little skeptical to begin with but once again I'm proved wrong
Predictions: With Courtside Live being relegated from Division III at the start of this season it's definitely brought some tough competition back into this league and has definitely kept me on my toes. I believe the standings will not deviate too much over the duration of the season which means the Eaton Boomers will play Courtside Live in the Quarterfinals which will definitely be a match to watch. I see the Eaton Boomers prevailing by a close margin and playing me in the Conference finals which will also be a match of epic proportions. I've got money on myself to come out on top if I play my cards right, but it'll be a close match. The final match being Myself vs Mildura Rangers I believe it will be 2-0 sweep based on what I've seen this season and last from our two teams.
New players or Draftees: After coming second last season I was left with the number 15 pick for the Season 15 draft so I had no real expectations of picking up a good draftee, but low and behold I picked up a great SF that fits my training regime for this season so it's safe to say I'm chuffed
Favourite games: Although I lost this game it would have to be one of my favourites based on the excitement of playing against one of the top contenders for this season. Eaton Boomers vs Myself. I had anticipated my opposition would use the Look Inside tactic so I played 2-3 zone in hopes of messing with his offensive flow but I was torn apart in the 3rd and 4th quarter by their PF who had a stellar game. Props to my SF for attempting 51 shots

So I hope you all get in on this discussion and make this epic season even more epic..er
