I had one of the worst GS updates ever, congrats on your championship.

Looking at this GS update I wouldn't be surprised if I went Look Inside..

EDIT:
Lol didn't even notice the MVP voting, congrats War Eagles and their player Edelberto Bustamante!

Ah..I guess I was wrong..I really did think you were going to win, since Pringle and Berard were in bad GS, and they were both two of the better shooters of the team. The fact that you put a Strong (low) in IS is really scary as well...I also think you shouldn't have went 3-2, maybe it was because you switched the position of who to guard who but centers were guarding my guards sometimes. My goal was achieved though, I shut down McNeill, I couldn't stop Faina in the beginning, but he slowed down towards the end. The one person who I knew was going to be a problem was Iriarte. You said he had pretty nice IS, and my guard guarding him had atrocious ID, thank god he didn't take more shots.
Catapang looks like he shot a little, but I put a fouler on him, so he actually took 3 - 4 more shots. I was also scared about rebounding, since I put my best rebounder on the bench, for defensive purposes.
Eh...I also went crazy with the switches of who guards who. I was scared that since I used that tactic last time we played you might somehow use it, but you kept your players in the same positions which was really lucky for me. I wanted to take advantage of Iriarte low OD.
Anyways, you are going to promote as well, I can promise that. Hopefully...

EDIT: Way too many turnovers, for both of us. I guess my strategy worked...a little.

Credit to your defense for a great win. I'm kind of disappointed in my team for having strong inside scoring and only getting 63. Perhaps you're right on the 3-2, I just wasn't as disappointed with my 1-3-1 zone results on defense as I was with the offensive results of princeton in our regular-season game. So I figured I'd give it a shot. One of the things I should have figured was that the zone probably wasn't the best way to take advantage of the individual players I had. Anyhow, again congrats on the win and the virtually certain league championship.

EDIT: also, I really wanted to switch up the players on offense. I was going to switch Faina and McNeill at least, but the problem was I didn't want Himadas playing PF on offense. And I didn't want either of them playing guard because then they wouldn't use their IS as much, so I decided to go with it the way it was, but in retrospect that was probably a mistake.

Thanks! But idk I could f--- some things up with the War Eagles, I do want to try something new, but...I also have to keep training Pringle. My GS may be even worse next week! Yea since I knew that each of your players could actually defend my players I was pretty scared. The ratings surprised me too. I never got a double respectable (medium) in defense before.

Anyways since I don't really care anymore:
Last Week Training: One on One Forwards//
Pringle popped in HA and DR
Berard popped in HA
Pringle has 7 HA and 8 DR
Berard has 12 HA

Damn...the Green Mambas, I knew Jonasson was good, but I didn't expect him to have 13 ID! http://www.buzzerbeater.com/player/6758433/overview.aspx

I really want this guy, but I'll probably be outbid when he is sold because I won't be on at that time. So I'll just let maybe one of you guys get him?

I mean, I'm sure it would have worked out anyway, since your defense is good enough to allow you to win on the road if you want to put forth the effort, but it still takes some balls to deliberately try to lose a home playoff game, putting yourself in a must-win situation on the road. Your reasoning was 3-game series = more training minutes, I presume? Or more revenue?

Spot on! Both more training minutes and revenue. Especially the revenue. When I go into DIV I can't use this same lineup, it has a lot of weaknesses that are easily exposed.
