It's only a scrimmage for me, but I'm looking forward to seeing how my team plays tonight as well. I feel good about next season right now. Really good.

After watching the GS updates and smallfries's performance on the road, I am going into this final series knowing that if I can somehow push it to 3 games and not get swept, I can consider it a partially successful series. I tried making another bid at the end of the season for a guard, but couldn't get online when the guys I wanted had bid times ending. I doubt it would make a difference. I doubted the GS effect would rebound so fast and was hesitant, just like almost everyone else of us... except smallfries.

He actually messaged me with more than 3 games to go in the season telling me his plan was to beat me in the finals to advance. Looks like he had a plan and it is working wonders. We still have to play the games and hopefully my foul happy team got it all out of there system against Reston. Unless he has at least 1 big injury early in game 1, this might be a bit more than my team can handle. Hopefully I can make it entertaining for everybody.

Trust me, this will be a lot closer than everyone thinks. Im still not sure about my team. Its good, but the talent is limited to a select few, so if an injury does happen I dont stand a chance.

As far as the GS goes, I made my moves believing GS could be trained up just like any other time, and it can be. The GS hit isn't permanent, which I believe it should be. That would take away these types of possibilities. I took advantage of it, but Im not sure it will continue to be this easy to basically buy wins.

Anyways, I want to wish you good luck in the championship.

The very thing you were afraid of actually worked in your favor. My team obviously sucks at free throws despite what their skills say. Definitely changed the outcome of this game.

Also, 4th quarter I gave up way too many assists.

Great 1st game Lathrop. Looking forward to game two and pushing this series back to your place.

Wow, what an interesting game. I was able to watch it in entirety delayed. Undrus and Easley were sitting on 5 fouls a piece for a LONG time and at one point 4 starters had 5 fouls each. It could have ended very differently. Hitting 21 of 24 FT was massive and the best % of the season for me. Almost a perfect storm for my guys, fouling enough with you missing enough FT while finding a way to stay in the game to keep playing. Not sure if that can happen again, but I would love to see it.

Game 2 will definitely be interesting. Should be another entertaining back and forth game. Of course, I am just saying that because HCA is massive and I fear getting blown out....

If anybody is on watching live and wondering why my shot distribution looks so wonky, I went with outside isolation with full court press. Figured I couldn't win on the road, so might as well have some fun. 5 mins in, everybody already tuned out...

HaHaHa! lolz! You didn't have every single player on your team shoot over 50%!! Jokes on you! I'd fire Gold....

So, the answer to the trivia question on the forums in a few season when someone asks who was the last team to foolishly play FCP in a championship game in dII or higher? Lathrop, this game. (62515493)

Well, it comes down to the final game.

Good luck Lathrop tonight! May the best team win. I have bad feelings about it personally but I guess that's why the game is played out.

Good luck to both of you. It should be an interesting game. HCA, fouls, and free throw shooting look to be huge. personally, I'd like to see both of you play FCP and Run and Gun.
