His opponent had 4.5 OD and 5.5 ID. Also this game has already passed so I assumed he was trying to make a more general point.


I'm trying to say this without sounding like a jackhole, but I've typed it and every time I read it it comes across like that, so I'll apologize in advance and assure you I mean this respectfully.

He posted on 12/9, talking about the guy he was playing next. His last game was 12/8. He also mentioned that his opponent plays 5 Cs (and I forgot if he also mentioned this or not, but the opponent also always plays 2-3). He's definitely talking about his opponent tonight, who puts up OD ratings in the pitiful-awful range, but OD in the average-strong range.

Clearly a 4 OD vs. 5 ID differential isn't one to dramatically change one's offense for. A 2 OD vs. 7 ID range on the other hand pretty much compels one to run an outside offense unless they're built with all centers as well, in which case we can sit back and laugh as the donkeys play soccer as much as basketball.

My bad, not sure how I made that mistake.

Nothing wrong with correcting me when I am mistaken, in fact I encourage it. Carry on

So, on his team full of centers, the guy who actually played at center went 1-12. Ha!

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Its all that's important until you need the point diff for a tie breaker, and heaven forbid if its for promotion status or 5th place or something important.

I missed the playoffs my first season in my current league on point differential because of a buzzer-beating dunk by my opponent in a game he was already winning by more than 20.

Well my center does have tremendous inside defense, that is why.

Well Spoonerific I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter. 1) I have beaten the 4 toughest teams in my conference, 2) I am not planning on promoting, 3) There is no way I am going to be 5th place. So PD is pretty much a mute thing this season
