I just did some research and once Junior and Divine get relegated, Bangerz will be the oldest team in the league, having played back in season 4. Which is when I started.

This league is easily the toughest DIII in USA, and I think we could rival may DIII in Spain and Italy too. I hate Italy. Damn 2006 World Cup bullshite! I'm done buying Italian players too. Everyone I get is a foul prone waste of money. So there Italy, roll that in your fancy meats.

Tuesday's games are over and each team has 3 possibly extremely competitive games left.

It's safe to say Booshes will have the homecourt after beating Hawks 100-83. Hawks struggled offensively which is rare for them and Booshes did a perfect job in the paint.

Illusion took control over their rivals Goats in the second half and looks strong in the Great 8 title race. 93-77. Point difference between Illusion and Gavno now reduced to 9.

Speaking of Gavno, Indiana side beat Bangers with an impressive 4th quarter performance lead by Garnier. 91-78.

Like last season, once again 3rd spot belongs to Cleveland. They took the job seriously against Rip City: 97-66. All Crazys on the court were like a rebounding machine. Rip City saved enthusiasm for their remaining vital games.

Magic like surprising everyone. They gave Tachenko a heartbreaking 95-96 defeat which might cost them the 3rd seed. Ketikidis was out due to knee injury but Santiago Luna stepped up and scored 33 points.

Investors beat Dragons 112-96. This is 2 in a row for them. I wonder if Investors CT'd or Dragons TIE'd and I don't see why Investors would CT or Dragons TIE. 2 Dragons (Bumbul- Braden) recorded 2/3 of team points.

One of the greatest games of the day was Cresleys @ Flyers. Result was a wasted opportunity for Cresleys: 101-96. Flyers are now much more optimistic about playoff contention.

Steppers pulled a comfortable win against Knicks and took a big step for playoff race. 71-57.

Player of the day was Virgílio Ericeira of the Investors. 17 pts, 14 rbds, 6 asts, 4 blks in 31 mins are really impressive stats.

Plenty of important games this weekend including Magic @ Rip City, Tachenko @ Cleveland, Goats@ Investors and Steppers @ Bangers. These 4 can determine the destiny of the league.

did u beat some team named nhc once?

who would have thunk it.. LMAO.. .

Bangerz vs X steppers is game of the season in the Great 8..
I'm sure Mina is eating his Wheaties.... :)

Did you mean season three instead of four? Bangerz were going in season III.

Got to put a plug in for one of my guys this week although not as impressive with the assists I thought Backhouse did well for me at 15pts, 17 rbs, 2 ast, 1 steal no turnovers in 24 minutes.

Need some advice: Do I try to toss some money into draft research, or do i save up my money to buy someone on the transfer list?

Yeah, my Goats did manage to beat the New Haven Chargers when they were steamrolling over everybody but it took every ounce of energy we had and slipped into the playoffs that season only to be easily disassembled, by The Illusion, I think. I'll have to go back and look. It was either Illusion or Roughriders.

AAAHHHH ... The eternal question...

Look at it this way, if you investing 20k per week. That's 280k for one, maybe two good players right? If you're a playoff team, getting a solid trainee in the second round is rare. So me, I save 280k and hope my "free" first rounder has some value. That's around 500k combined you have to spend on the exact player you want. No randomness, you can literally buy the skills you are looking for.

I bought Fennel and Law two seasons ago. Fennel was 800k and Law was 500k. I trained and sold Law midway through that season for 1.2 mil and Fennel is worth more than that now, he'll be 20 y.o. next season with an estimated salary of 12-15k.

Last season, after finishing last in DII, I was hoping for a great draft, I spent 300k on scouting and made back 294k after selling two draftees. Neither were what I wanted at all. The third was released immediately.

So you tell me, which strategy was more beneficial?

Thanks for that input I was leaning more toward saving the cash and now I can see that it's the right decission

I wasn't in DIII.4 during that season
