My team isn't as bad as it seems. I somehow won this BBM game.

I'm having a shocker of a season! What's worse is I can't stop bleeding cash out. I've looked over my finances but can't work out how I'm still losing 100k a week. Surely with my team salary I can break even?

A lot of it seems down to bad luck man, as you seem to have a real solid roster. I mean, two 1-point losses, that's as rough as it gets.

Although when it comes to finances, winning and losing is a huge factor that Starting the season 1-3 has wiped off most of my weekly profit also. It hit A LOT harder than I thought it would. Once you go on a winning run it'll change, but maybe look to downgrade your staff in the meantime?

Honestly, this (and the opposite) has happened so many times to me and others I've watched.

I feel like the GE has a set parameter in it that is a season-long "your team gets increased/reduced skills this season" kind of thing.

Feel like the same with injuries. Don't think it's totally random.

Agreed. Six ABBL teams going against each other is dumb as nails.

It is frankly disrespectful to the entire Australian BB community to tank the final of the tournament.

Congratulations, Balev. I hope that we get the opportunity to resume battle in the playoffs this season.

I was a bit confused when I logged in at roughly half time to see the score. I'm imagining there was maybe an oops I forgot to set the lineup or something. For me, I was both happy that I would win, but also felt that it would have been better to win against a proper lineup. I remember the Spurs saying a similar thing a while back. That's why they're my favourite team.

This season has been weird for me. I thought I was gonna tank all season. Nek minnit.......

I highly doubt I'll be able to compete against others in the playoffs.

That's awfully gracious of you Balev, classy response from a worthy champion.

I'm also hopeful it was something like a forgotten lineup, but given he played his starters in both league games, and the fact he used less enthusiasm which is not the default, I'm very skeptical.

Yeah, seems weird. Even if he thought he had no chance, you'd still try. I would.

To be honest, as soon as I saw it was he who I was gonna be versing, I felt I had it in the bag. Then one of my top players got injured and I thought that it would probably sway in his favour. Despite his record, he still was pulling out some impressive box scores.

And, to make things even more weird... My game vs Tippa Magic was similar. I thought I'd win that one, too, but not that way. I haven't checked if he played his stars but the box score certainly didn't seem like it.

It's funny cause we had a convo a while back about the BB gods choosing teams to be on the side of for certain seasons. About a third the way through, I thought.. Hrm... I think it might be me this season. Then I got that injury and went, yeah nah.. not me. But then it looks like two either tanks or forgotten lineups. That's not a BB gods thing, though...
