i didnt even scout... i went with the default order and lucked out lol
i doubt he'll actually sell for 1 mil though... we'll see =)

Just hoping he sees it! :P Although I do not deny that I am crazy... :)

Season 19 Predictions:

Big 8

1. Shabbies - Deadly outside attack that seems unstoppable. If they get the defensive part of the game set, then they are ready for big things!

2. Lightning Thunder - Being led by monster big men and a couple mediocre guards, but more acquisitions on the way and c'mon... a monster big man. Also led by arguably the greatest manager that the game has ever seen, The Mogul is- oh crap... awkward.

3. Botwood Raptors - First season? I expect big things from this team, well balanced and poised for success. An acquisition here or there can put them over the top.

4. New Brunswick Maddogs - Two big guards that can lead the way, but known for GS issues and a lack of big men. Still a strong opponent.

5. 85 FG% - If he decides to take a run he could do much much better than 5th, otherwise 5th looks like a nice position for him and easily attainable.

6. The UTE - Good starting lineup, but no depth. Made a nice run last season which was ultimately ended by Shabbies. Should finish 6th and survive though.

7. Van Cougars - First time up here and if Moe Dunn is sold, not much in terms of a roster beyond Henry Mills, Could still survive in 7th. Just more difficult.

8. Montreal Fireballs- Weakest team to promote into this league and even though this league is not too strong, this team is not prepared for battle. You never know though...

Great 8

1. East-End Screaming Goombas B.C. - Trying to sneak under the radar. Bite me. Jks :) but looking like a strong opponent, with good management. Only good things can come of that.

2. Big ballerz - Very inconsistent team, but with World Alliance out of the picture this team will fight for a championship this season. Good depth and balance.

3. Toronto Towers - Another inconsistent team, but once again with no outright favourite this team looks poised to try and snatch the championship.

4. Sun O)))s - A monster guard and good big man can lead to success and this team has that, how much success is yet to be seen, but can always bring it any given Tuesday/Saturday.

5. Murfs Blue Devils - Second try at division II, but this time seems more prepared. Should be able to withstand the ne competition. Could sneak in ahead of Sun O)))s.

6. The Cheetarian - Very quiet team that can sneak under the radar. If they will remains to be seen, I do not think they will.

7. St. Louis Beasts - Have not been improving too much and with a couple pretty good new teams joining the mix, this team is not looking at improving, but getting worse in the standings.

8. O-Ballas - Second time being promoted due to bot cleanup and looks no more prepared then last time. Should be the one easy win, if any, this season.

Thank you for your analysis. I found it interesting and informative, almost like a scouting report on the league. Now, if I have the pressure living up to your high expectations of actually winning. Talk about performance anxiety, just hope I don't come out too flat

By the way good luck everyone in season 19

This really helps, glad I'm an underdog :p. Well, everyone else, you heard Bballin, don't worry one bit when playing my team.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for warm welcome from all the returnees. Looking forward to a better showing in DII this time.
You can all thank Bballin for firing up my team by cheating me out of the DIII POP award.

It had come down to you and Webfoots to be completely honest. Had to give it to Webfoots, dont beat me too badly ;)

Wow, that stings that might be worse than just losing. lol
I think one factor needs to be added to the POP award. Canada Tourney finish, because it affects the use of your core guys in weeks where you have a tough tourney matchup.

As for the beating I'm planning on giving your thunder.. I'm just happy this time in DII, I don't have to completely rebuild my team during the season. My team goal is avoid relegation games. #sandbagingexpectations

New Brunswick Maddogs just one upped my big acquisition. There goes my chance at promotion.

Your chance at promotion ?? What about everybody else's chance?? That monster is a beast that Maddogs has in his stable- the stakes just went through the roof, gloves just came off - that's it - this used to be a nice Div II, now it is turning ugly!!! As of right now I am going to snarl, hiss and spit at everyone. :) - Or maybe I'll just go for a beer!! Yeah - I think I'll do that instead - then I am going to snarl, hiss and spit!!!!

Well see how long I can keep 3 big guys. Gonna be losing about 150k a week I think. But Gonna see what I can do to manage.
And I'm carrying a bigger roster then last year to better manage my Game Shape. So pre scouting said no big men and bad game shape ? Well see...
