Well adding a $70k PF is one way to do it I guess. Shrug.
I hope you don't throw our playoff game! I'm really enjoying this season and I've got some ideas for how to take you down. Been looking ahead and I have plans to take you on fair and square, so I hope you're ready to rock! Should be a really good playoffs between us, Rochester and Mountain Eagles.

I've been wanting to shore up the frontcourt for awhile now. Iorga Dan has had his moments but I want to promote and he wasn't going to get it done against some of the other bigs in the league. Alvariza won't be a long term solution but he could help get me over the hump, and I'm training Matsas and Schilling to take over in a couple seasons. Not sure what my gameplan will be if I get to D2 but hopefully Alvariza helps. I still don't know if he'll even be enough to knock you off, your team is such a mystery to me.

As long as you don't blow me out too badly tonight, I can lose my final 2 games & still cling to 1st place! (even despite your 900 point win vs tough skewing the PD) Forgot what I set but I think I'm just using my training lineup tonight. Have to admit... this game will a giant disappointment after what you said last month though. Seemed like you had some clever or amazing game plan, but it's all kind of for nothing now. And just a bore now. Since your new guy is making triple the salary of my best big. Can't imagine you not winning by at least 20 points any time we play from here on out. Regardless of what tactics you use!

Won't be watching the game tonight, so try not to injure anyone please. And hopefully I don't injure one of your guys either.

Speaking of tough, it would be funny if him throwing your game cost him 1st place based on point differential. I'm kind of rooting for a Gremlins vs Ashkickers finals. Though Rochester would be fun too.

I think you're overvaluing my big. I needed somebody to help defensively, I only had one big over 12 ID, and this guy's playing lower than his salary due to a couple of drops over the course of the season. I still think it will be a good matchup between us. Looking toward the finals (should I make it that far), I knew tough was going to add a big and my bigs didn't stack up to Rochester or Ashkickers. So that was my thought process, not buying a win against you.

Also, tuning into the game I'm sorry to see one of your players got hurt. Hope it's just for this game!

Nice win by you with less effort! Was just happy to avoid a major blowout for PD purposes. I knew an injury was coming! Last game my SF was injured 2 minutes in. Now my SG only lasted a minute, as if to one-up him. At least they were just single games.

Yeah I get you about the skill drops. Your new guy is still putting up monster ratings though! Sam Head became kind of useless due to them & was supposed to be replaced already. Not playing 46 minutes in a big game! I really screwed things up by forgetting to schedule a scrimmage the week after the all-star game. So his would be replacement had 2 straight weeks of zero minutes. Then got hurt 10 minutes into the third week. Which really tanked GS plus all the missed training too ><

I was kind of surprised to see you use effort this late in the season. Impressed my team held out but I suppose avoiding your inside guess helped with that. I feel your pain with the injuries, I think we’ve all had those weeks where the game just decides to screw us over unfortunately. At least they were only in game and you still have Thursday to make up minutes. Should be a good one at your house in the playoffs assuming we can both win in round 1!

Yeah, hoping for no injuries or crazy fouls. This would've been a fun series, too bad it's just 1 game. I barely made it back in time to set a lineup. Pulled Sam Head out of the rotation. Think you've got this, but who knows until it's played

This would have been an awesome three game set, you're right. I think in one game it's a toss up but in 3 you'd take me down for sure. That 3-2 is lethal and i don't know if I could crack it twice without running right into GDP.

Oh no, it didn't take my final lineup. I had you guessed inside. Plus a different starter at SG I thought. But oh well ><

Late reply to your older message. You had an outside chance of taking over first place had you won in a mega blowout, plus ran up the score in your final game. I think your team is a lot better than mine now. So figured may as well hold on to that meaningless regular season title.

Ah that's tough. Between you guessing me inside and having home court you'd probably win easily. I thought that winning with Inside Iso might have been good enough to shy you away from an inside guess. Pretty even through the first, this could go either way.
