Yea I know, was just trying to split up the load :)
I don't mind doing it but if there are other managers wondering what to do, just a suggestion.

It's just something small and quick about writing a paragraph or two on the hottest and coldest team of the week!

I was thinking of doing a "Game of the Night" sort thing. I thought every game night, tuesday and saturday i choose one (maybe two) game(s) that have some significance due to standings/(NT?) player match ups/ Past rivalries or anything interesting that can fuel a meaningful game. Include a write up as to why thats such a meaningful game and possibly predict the winners (Not really sure about predicting the winner part). I'd keep this in the main season 19 thread however.

I would enjoy reading that :)

Awesome, sounds great!

@ Bballin
You gonna contribute somehow? :P
You're always seem to be in this forum and you know a lot of people here it seems.

Maybe later on in the season when most/all get knocked out of the Cup tourny, we can set scrimmages between the 2 divisions and see who is better ;)

Maybe I will make a writeup or two ;)
Well I post semi-regularily in lots of forums(BB Global, Non-BB Global, BB Canada, BB USA, BB New Zealand, BB Australia, BB England, top 5 leagues in Canada, top league in USA, a div IV league in USA, III.12 in Canada, Suggestions, Help and NT coaches). You get to know people. Plus I talk in the gamechat alot and being the U21 coach brings lots of conversation from managers with prospects.

Not sure our managers would sacrifice GS like that, our league may be weak, but we are competitive. Plus I do not plan on being knocked out ;)

yeah, scrimmages are mostly about getting GS and trianing minutes, but maybe in next seaosn we can do matchups like championship winner vs. championship winner, runner up vs. runner up and so on.

I also dont plan to drop out of cup too fast, but you never know with draw being random

Nice Write Up, I think Big 8 division is still much more competitive tahn Great 8. Good luck Everyone.

i think you are wrong about that. Look at number of strong teams that we got, especially after those 2 big transfers . Playoff spots will be contested heavily. Not sure about relegation series though so you might be right. Anyway, I will stop spamming Kevi's thread now and move the discussion to season 19 topic starting next post :D

Don't think I'll be doing Power Rankings today since only 1 game is under the belt. So I'll just refer everyone to damian13ster's awesome Feb 11 Game Summary!

Since nobody likes Wednesdays I'm changing it to Wed just so that after the 2 league games per week are through, there will be a power rankings rather than 1 game of the previous week (Tuesday) and 1 game of the new week (Saturday).

Week 1.

Major Additions, But is it the Winning Formula?
*based on record, point differential

1. Pszczyna Team 2-0 - Off:114.5 (1) Def:66.5(1)
- This team is getting straight to business, setting the pace by averaging 114.5 ppg ranking 1st in the division in offence and only holding their opponents to 66.5 ppg which also ranks 1st in the division. It may be early on, but they’re making a statement and setting a tone that they are not the ones to mess around with.

2. Keyes Kop 2-0 – Off: 103 (4) Def:68 (2)
- As said last week, this team is being led by their 1-2 punch in Zisterer (17ppg and 8.5ast) and Diez de Arellano, who is averaging a double-double with 19ppg and 10rebs. Their defence is right up there with damian13ster’s team. Their next match up? You guessed it: Pszczyna Team. Will this be an early preview of the Great 8 Conference Finals?

3. Scarborough Stampede 2-0 – Off: 105.5 (2) Def: 87 (4)
- They have taken the lead in the Big 8 conference standings but it is still early, will the new guard be able to develop fast enough to carry them through the season and ultimately to the championship? The addition only adds to their great depth which will help in the long run... They can only look forward as the Cerebral Assassins are hot on their tails with their newly acquired beast manning the team.

4. Webfoots 2-0 – Off:92.5(9) Def: 76(3)
- Another team that made a splash in the TL by adding a nice big man down low that is right in his prime. It seems that they’re momentum from being champions last year has carried over, but how long will that last?

5. Soaring Eagles 2-0 – Off:104.5 (3) Def:102.5 (12)
- A team that is “soaring” under the radar that is undefeated. In their first game, they were able to steal a game by hitting 2 free throws with 9 seconds left in the game to put them on top and beating The Dream Shakers. Will all of their old guys be able to remain at a high level of play for the rest of the season?

Jeremy Lin Team of the Week: Pszczyna Team
- Going from not being ranked in the power rankings to being top team as of Week 1. I’ll just say it now since he my sleeper “I told you so”.'

Justin Bieber Team of the Week: Ottawa Lightning
- No offence, no defence, what is this team doing? Coming from Naismith and first two games going 0-2 with both being complete blowouts. Who is this? The post-LeBron Cleveland Cavaliers?

Awesome job. Just a small suggestion: Add a record next to those offensive and defensive stats.

I am very happy with being first at the moment, but I dont think it will last long. I am facing Keyes on saturday and it is going to be an away game. Not going to sacrifice training or morale to try and steal a win because I am not a favourite.
