Initial Transfer Report
With one game in the books and seven players still on the transfer list, including three players with at least $10k salary (but not more than $18k), I thought it would be interesting to look at the transfer activity for our league going back to the 2nd of February (which was technically before Season 59 finished up, but I included those because they were transfers by teams not in the finals - and regardless, they wouldn't take effect until this season).

We've had 29 transfers amongst 9 teams, wich The White Walkers leading the pack making 9 transfers in total. All told from 16 transfers out, teams have made a total of $4,297,669, including 18-year-old rookie Stanford Roach going for a cool $1.7 mil. On the flipside, with only 13 new players coming in, teams have spent a combined $8,197,700. What's really crazy is in only two transactions (Tasty's $1.3 mil purchase of Chik Wui Kwong and Walkers $2.8 mil purchase of Victor Papageorgiou), we nearly matched the amount of money brought into teams via transfer sales.

On the salary side of things, we sold off $270k in total salary and brought in $365k in three less players. Victor and Chik are the big money targets, along with 209's purchase this weekend of $56k Tian Rumin, and The White Walkers other side is $47k Roberts Dargels.

My favorite transfers, though, have been The Night King's three for three deal, bringing in two 18-year-olds and a 22-year-old each with salaries under $1000 to fill out their bench play. That means that players 6, 7, and 8 on their roster (in terms of salary) make up 97% of their 6-10 roster salaries.

If these transfers had all gone through before the first game, here is how the preseason rankings would've ended up:

1. Tasty Tardsickles (previously #4)
2. Philly Dribble (#1)
3. Linndale (#2)
4. Miami Cleo (#3)
5. San Dominica Warriors (#5)
6. The White Walkers (#7)
7. Hustlas (#6)
8. Lion Rebels (#8)
9. Żubr Białystok (#9)
10. 209's MostWanted (#13)
11. Carolina Rebels (#10)
12. Fondy Cardinals & Beer Bellys (#'s 11)
14. Flamin' Flamingos (#16)
15. STG on MCU (#14)
16. Cincinnati Slammers (#15)

I expect these will shift a little bit more, but I won't be updating the rankings. Obviously, biggest take away is that Tasty jumped to the top of the pack thanks to their investment in Chik Wui Kwong and 209's making a push up to the middle of the pack by replacing two players making $56k with one.

Good luck on Tuesday - Week One Power Rankings will be out Thursday or Friday!

Pre game team meeting:

Coach Pio Reina was still pissed off about Saturday's game.

“First things first. The garbage job you did Saturday night comes with consequences. Paul, Reese, and Nick have earned the starting nod for tonight. Shooter, I know you think Kyle is starting because he scored 31. You’re wrong; he’s starting because he was plus 3 and you were minus 6. What’s rule one here?”

“DEFEND!”, the team exclaimed in unison.

“We gave up 129 points. Was that defense?”

“NO!”

“We gave up 20 offensive rebounds AND were out rebounded by 19. That can’t happen again. Did we rebound?”

“NO!”

“Our starting point guard had 4 turnovers. Did we protect the ball? This one I’ll answer for you. The answer is no. Turnovers must be below double digits per game. We had 10. We can do better. So we didn’t do anything we expect out there on the court. Now, I want to be clear about something. I said we. Why am I including myself in this? I’m not a player anymore. I’ll tell you. I put you at a disadvantage. I planned to have us a run a different defense. I got inside my own head and changed that. That’s on me. I take accountability for that. The actual performances from Saturday, the in game performances? That’s on you. We were terrible, and it was a total team effort. We’re not doing that again. ARE WE?”

“NO!”

“All right. Now let’s talk about tonight. If you expect this to be a walk in the park, you didn’t see how they beat the team that ended our season last season. They took better care of the ball. They defended. They gave themselves a chance to win, and they did. We have to contain Li See Yan. You’ll note the 3 starters who had at least a minus 10 are ALL coming off the bench. How do you get on the court?”

“DEFENSE!”

“I want to see the bigs be more assertive. Our starting power forward and center scored a total of 21 points Saturday. Lion Rebels got 49 from theirs against us. Our opposition’s starting center had 23 by himself in their game Saturday. That has to change. We will defend. We will rebound. We will take care of the ball. Gentlemen, this is our house. We will defend our house. We will protect our house. Do these things and the wins will come.”

“This was a much better performance, gentlemen. Much better! Enjoy it for a moment, but understand we have a ton of work to do.” Pio Reina was satisfied with tonight’s result, but clearly saw work remained. “That first quarter defense was atrocious, and the third quarter was even worse, but you guys played a solid second quarter defensively, and that fourth quarter was impressive. That fourth quarter defense is what I want to see on the regular. Day in and day out. You’ve showed the capability; now I want to the consistency. I want to see that every day. Offensively we are finding our way and it’s gonna to be interesting. Nick was big tonight. Great job! Kyle, great things happen when you attack the rim; keep it up! Garcaa, keep doing what you’re doing. Paulie, that was a very good floor game. Keep it up! Reese, you did a very good job out there tonight. I loved it! Keep doing that; the offense will show eventually.”

“Now on to the bench; mixed results. Coenen and Datler, we need both of you to get it together. Shooter, nice game. You got a lot more in you and I want to see it. Kamp, you think you’re ready to return to the starting lineup? I can see Mr. Mann is. I actually liked the bench performance tonight, and I want to see you guys do it again before I consider inserting you back into the starting lineup. Reese and Nick did nothing to be removed from the lineup. You guys were removed for a reason. Show me you deserve to get back in with the starters. You have until Saturday to convince me. Bobbie, when you get your head right, we’ll think about putting you back in. Paulie is the guy for now. Enjoy the win. BBM lineup tomorrow; don’t read anything into that lineup or the tournament lineup. We have a long way to go before we get to what I consider a set starting 5, got it? Good game, guys.”

Week One Power Rankings
Week 1 Observations
Welcome to season 60's first official power rankings following games one and two of the regular season. As the season has gotten underway, we have five players averaging 31 or more points per game, including 209's Ariel Ziółkowski's 41.5 PPG after scoring 54 points last Saturday night. Seven players are averaging 15.0 or more rebounds per game, and six players are averaging 7.0 assists or more per game.

I won't do this every week, but just pointing a few things from the first two games of the season.
-> First off, 209's putting up 139 points on Philly Dribble just a few weeks removed from Philly only allowing 82.4 PPG in Season 59. Wut. Ziółkowski's 54 points came on 34 total shots, including 8-14 from three. He also made 12 of his 15 free throw shots. This isn't the only game this season where the fouls have been very lopsided (27 PF for Philly compared to 16 for 209's).

-> Same game, different stat: 209's had almost as many offensive rebounds as they did defensive rebounds (37 to 41). Additionally, Philly Dribble only had 2 ORs for the night.

-> While 209's/Philly was a barn burner, San Dominica Warriors found themselves in the unenviable position of being upset in crazy fashion by the Flamin' Flamingos Saturday night. They started out with a 12-point lead after one, the Flamingos chipped away through the second and third quarters and found themselves down 9 going into the final frame. Starting the fourth down 72-63, it took a few minutes, but they held the Warriors to one FG for the first three months while sneaking up to 73 points to be down one with 8:50 left. They then proceeded neck and neck, swapping the lead back and forth with no one getting more than two points lead until Flamingos went up by three, with 4:22 left. San Dom was not out of it, though, and crept back in and with 1:19 left were winning 87-86. With 24 seconds left, D. Rivas scored on a layup to give Flamingos the lead. After a time out, J. Bégin scored 9 seconds later to give them a one-point lead. Flamingos time out. They take it all the way down to the buzzer with SG L. See Yan scoring with no time left to edge San Dom out for a loss to start the season.

-> As far as Tuesday's games go, the first thing is holy buckets did The White Walkers put the smack down on Tasty Tardsicles, beating them by 42 points after holding them to only 41 points through three quarters. Tardsicles finished with 21% shooting from the field, including a dismal 6-29 from three with "Dingle" Conaghan shooting 0-8 from beyond the arc.

At least five more transfers since I first posted about all the transfer activity up until Monday. Big buy was Fondy Cardinal's bringing in a $77k PG in Jorge Muñoz to pair with big man Matthis Anwander. Still a handful of players transfer listed and I am sure more activity on the way, but as of now, we have spent $4.2 million more than we have sold off collectively since the start of the month. What is this, the Premiere League?!?

For those of you who are new, my power rankings are based on a combination of average Efficiency Per Game (EFFG) rank and their Opponents EFFG (OPP EFFG). Week one ties are sorted by difference in EFFG and OPP EFFG (ensuing weeks will take into consideration previous week's rankings to sort ties).

Week 1 Power Rankings
1. The White Walkers
EFFG: 122 | OPP EFFG: 58
Already there's only two undefeated teams heading into Week 2. The Night King takes the cake, with a convincing win on the road against Hustlas followed by the decimation of the Tardsicles on Tuesday. Their big purchase, newcomer 25-year-old Victor Papageorgiou, who they dropped nearly $3 mil on, leads the way so far with 21.5 PPG, shooting an impressive 51.5% from the field and 64% from three. Next up, they take on Żubr Białystok before playing host to STG on MCU.

2. Lion Rebels
EFFG: 140.5 | OPP EFFG: 106
Welp, this won't last long, I can assure you of that. A nice (surprising) win over Linndale at home, scoring 128 points, a feat this squad did not accomplish all last season (only scoring more than 100 7 times), followed by soundly handling Fondy Cardinals (though after their last purchase, maybe not next time). I have a feeling I got lucky and will be exposed this coming week with a matchup against Philly Dribble at home before traveling to San Dominica.

3. Philly Dribble
EFFG: 137 | OPP EFFG: 113
While they lost in that barn burner to 209's , they were able to right the ship immediately with a nice win over Carolina Rebels. Fun fact I discovered this week, Phils_Wings is an OG, having joined up in the middle of Season 2! I do not know what is going on with Phillip Huddleston, but he suffered another injury this week. Probably shouldn't be a problem though with their aforementioned road trip to Daylis stadium before playing host to Flamin' Flamingos next week.

4. Carolina Rebels
EFFG: 117.5 | OPP EFFG: 107.5
This is the middle of a three-way tie in terms of efficiency rankings. But a 1-1 Carolina team handled Fondy with relatively little strain before suffering their 15-point loss to Philly (man, I'm glad there aren't two Philadelphia based teams again this season!). Hugo Espinosa is nearly averaging a 20/20 double-double with 22.5 PPG and 19 RPG thanks, in part, to a 24-point, 25 rebound performance in game one. They get to host San Dominica this weekend before traveling Linndale's way after that.

5. San Dominica Warriors
EFFG: 113 | OPP EFFG: 104
Coach Stephenson made up for that heartbreaking buzzer beating loss last weekend by beating 209's at home on TV by seven, and that is in spite of 209's hitting 46% of their shots, including from three. Biggest difference in this one may have been free throws, with the Warriors making nine more than their opponent despite both teams having 18 fouls each. After their trip to Carolina, they turn to the other Rebels playing host to my crew next week.

6. Miami Cleo
EFFG: 99 | OPP EFFG: 94
I'm not trying to downgrade last season's Great 8 #2 seed - while their defense has been quite good (they held both opponents to less than 90 points) their offense is going to need to find a way to turn on. They lost by seven to the Tards which makes a potential matchup with the Walkers a bit intimidating, but then turned around and put Żubr Białystok in their place, beating them by 17 at home. They face STG on MCU on the road at YT Shorts before hosting Hustlas in a TV game.

7. Hustlas
EFFG: 90.5 | OPP EFFG: 87.5
I don't know if it's the lack of Reese's posts to start the season or what, but Hustlas feels a bit lifeless, losing by 13 to The White Walkers (which now, might not look SO bad) before taking care of Cincinnati by 16. But they are only averaging 84.5 PPG so far. Without having made a flurry of moves like we are used to, it's hard to know what to expect from them this season. They play host to The Beer Bellys on Saturday night, which should be revealing and then they travel to Miami for that TV matchup on Tuesday.

8. Żubr Białystok
EFFG: 108.5 | OPP EFFG: 109
A fairly seismic game one win over the Bellys on TV put them at the top of the standings. While they couldn't stop Segovia or Homs in that game, their solid spread-out play was more than enough to send them packing back to the Keg, but then they came out flat in game two against Miami, running a Low Post offense but apparently struggling to get it into the post with their PG and SF shooting the ball 37 times total. It didn't help that PF M. Grimm only shot 5-17 from the field. Alas, training, amirite? Next up comes The Night King followed by a trip to Cincinnati who now dwells in the basement of the Great 8.

9. Linndale
EFFG: 124.5 | OPP EFFG: 126.5
To say I was shocked on Saturday night is an overstatement - pleasantly surprised is more like it. But Coach Pio was utterly dismayed. Fortunately for them, hosting the Flamingos was a better experience as the Flamingos flamed out in the fourth period only scoring eight points after a furious third quarter in which they took a 12-point lead. Kyle Knowles is leading the charge with 25.5 PPG so far. A trip to 209's is on the horizon before playing host to Carolina next Tuesday.

10. The Beer Bellys
EFFG: 113.5 | OPP EFFG: 115
thatguy's in full on training mode while trying to avoid relegation. With that in mind, the game one loss to Żubr makes more sense, but their staving off STG by 11 on Tuesday brings a little hope that they will not be completely bottom of the barrel. Isidre Homs is a beast, averaging 31 PPG and 19.5 RPG. His 39 rebounds in two games are good for #8 in Division III and #25 in the USA. A road game against Hustlas is next followed by hosting Tasty Tardsicles on Tuesday.

11. Cincinnati Slammers
EFFG: 83.5 | OPP EFFG: 101
I don't mean anything mean by this, but I didn't expect Cincy to be this high in the rankings after my preseason review. And while their offensive efficiency is not great, there has been some bad defensive performances by other teams...in fact only three teams have an OPP EFFG rating of less than 100 so far, and the Slammers 101 score is good for fourth. Far cry from last year's OPP EFFG results, but that could change over time. While they are 0-2, a close two-point loss to STG opened the season where they put in less effort and fell apart in the final period after leading the whole game. After that Hustlas stuck it to them. Will they have success against Tasty's on the road this weekend? Or will their first win come against whitestok's crew at home next week? Time will tell!

12. 209's MostWanted
EFFG: 120 | OPP EFFG: 133.5
I would be pissed if I were Alex from the 209, especially after beating Philly at home like that, but what hurts them in these rankings is their OPP EFFG. While they were fifth in EFFG, they were second to last on the defensive side. They are giving up the most points per game so far at 121.5 and while they are scoring the most at 120.5, that is not going to cut it. Following their seven-point loss to San Dominica earlier this week, they will play host to Linndale before heading to the Birds Nest to visit Fondy. They've got a good chance to right the ship!

13. STG on MCU
EFFG: 98 | OPP EFFG: 112
While they are sitting at fifth in the Great 8 after their 1-1 week, defeating Cincy before falling to the Bellys with just a 9-point differential, they have a stiff test this week, playing host to Miami before traveling Beyond The Wall to take on Night King's undead. PG Matthew Marsh is a bright spot, averaging 28.5 PPG as a small forward and handles more than just scoring with a decent 5.5 RPG, 4.5 APG, and 3 SPG.

14. Flamin' Flamingos
EFFG: 103 | OPP EFFG: 119.5
Flamin's 1-1 start is thanks to that unbelievable fourth quarter comeback over the Warriors before then losing by ten to Linndale on the road, which is not a bad turn around. They are too low on this list, but they're going to have to get that OPP EFFG turned around to make much movement. A TV game against Fondy could be just what they need, but then they have the "privilege" of traveling to Philly to take on the Dribble. C Gambino Colonnello has had a nice start, averaging a double-double with 11 RPG and 22.5 PPG.

15. Tasty Tardsicles
EFFG: 71 | OPP EFFG: 109.5
In their game one defeat of Miami, Tards had 104 total EFF while holding Miami to only 78. But they got brutalized in efficiency against The White Walkers, with three players scoring negative numbers leading to a total efficiency of 38 while giving up an astounding 141. So, either White Walkers are incredible or Tasty had an off night and wanted to trick everyone! No one player stands out in terms of points scored, but C/PF Marco Jimenez is averaging an impressive 19 RPG including 8 ORPG, good for #4 in all of Division III. Should be a nice rebound week for them with a home game against Cincinnati followed by a trip to the Keg.

16. Fondy Cardinals
EFFG: 92 | OPP EFFG: 137.5
Almost all team's efficiency rankings on both sides were crazy different with only three teams finishing with both sides ranked within one or two of the other ranking. Fondy, thus far, is a bit of an exception, finishing 13th in EFFG and 16th in OPP EFFG. Muñoz should help them out, but a near 30-point loss to Carolina before an "embarrassing" loss to the lesser Rebels leaves them at the bottom of the Big 8. They will feast on a bot team in the Cup to make themselves feel better before facing off on the road (and TV) against the Flamingos followed by a visit from 209's MostWanted.

That is all for this week - good luck in the Cup and let's see what Week 2 brings us!

The GM addresses the team pre-game. "OK guys, first let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Ubaldo Pestana is no longer on the team. He wanted more time than we could offer him. He still had much value, but he was more valuable to someone else at this stage in his career. He wasn’t here long, but we will miss him and his impact beyond the court. Sometimes the business of basketball means letting good people go; I hate that part of it."

Coach Reina then took over.

"On to tonight’s task, you are going to have your work cut out for you. Kamp, Coenen. and Mann, you’re all in the lineup today. Paulie, Reese and Nick, you guys haven’t done anything to lose the job; this is a match up issue. I think you guys are all going to be more effective off the bench tonight. Coenen, watch the turnovers. Mann, show up and play some defense. Kamp, just go out and play. You know the plan, you know what we expect. Will we defend?"

"Yes!"

"Will we rebound?"

“Yes!”

“Will we turn the ball over?”

“No!”

“Will we create turnovers?”

“Yes!”

“Do those things and the game gets a lot easier. Let’s go to work!”

"UNF******BELIEVABLE!!! NO DEFENSE!!! NO REBOUNDING!!! NO TAKING CARE OF THE BALL!!! YOU GUYS LOOKED LIKE HOT GARBAGE!!! WHAT DO YOU GUYS NOT GET HERE??? THIS IS WHAT WE DO!!! THIS IS WHO WE ARE!!! YOU PLAY HERE YOU WILL DEFEND!!! YOU WILL REBOUND!!! YOU WILL PROTECT THE BALL!!! IF YOU CAN'T OR WON'T, GET OUT OF MY LOCKER ROOM AND OFF MY TEAM!!!!"

Pio Reina wasn't just pissed off, he was far beyond that. The team's performance was absolutely enraging. Pio took a deep breath to compose himself.

“I’m making changes effective immediately. Coenen back in at the point. Kyle, you got you torched. Shooter, you get your first start. Make it count. Kamp, you stay at small forward, but we need consistency out of you. Bring the A game. Mann, grab some bench. I need to get more, so Nick gets the start. Ramon, you grab some bench right alongside him. Datler, you know what I want. Keep grinding. Paulie, you get a lot more firepower on the second unit offensively and defensively. Make it work. Bobbie, you, Shooter, Kamp and Nick should be able put up some points and be solid defensively. I’m trying to get us to be the best versions of ourselves and you guys are out there doing the opposite. That’s all right, though. I got tricks for you guys. I told you not to piss me off. You did it anyway. Life just got a lot harder for you. Survive if you can. Play the way I want because you must. I want everyone who came off the bench in my office tomorrow morning 8 AM sharp. Those who started today, you’ll have the team conference room, same time. Full team meeting at 9. No one leaves until I’m satisfied we are where we need to be. We are either going to be a playoff team and move past the first round, or we are going to go full on youth movement and get guys in here who will play how I want to play. It’s up to you guys to figure out where you want to go and how to get there. If you’re not trying to get where I’m trying to go, I don’t want you here. You know where the door is.”

Waiting inside Pio’s office, the GM heard everything. “Pio, think maybe you were a bit hard on them?”

Pio responded tersely. “No.”

“Good”, replied the GM. “Mind if I join your meeting tomorrow?”

“I don’t mind at all. You’ve already called Coach and told him to come talk to a few players, didn’t you?” Pio knew what the GM was thinking.

“Yeah. You’re really gonna do it, aren’t you?”

“We’re not a playoff team,” Pio answered. “We absolutely have too much talent to play like garbage. I have no remorse if they choose not to fight through this. I want fighters, and if they don’t want to fight,
then we gotta go get guys who will.”

“Pio, did I ever tell you about the nastiest, roughest, toughest basketball team I’ve ever seen?”

“NBA. Detroit Pistons. Bad Boys era, right?” Pio knew.

“Confirmed.”

“Sir, I was a Lakers and Cavaliers fan back then, but you’re still ok in my book." They both laughed.

"Good to see you able to laugh. See ya tomorrow morning, Coach."

"Don't be late!"
