Shhhh dont tell them that! ;)

I think you have the team to make a good playoff run to be completely honest. Dont be too modest! My team should finish top 3 in my conference and from there, its anyones game.

I think You will do just fine up here. If you can keep both your bigs you should be able to stay up here. Heck I was just like you figuring I had no chance my first season, but then I found myself in a playoff position that I swiftly tanked out of. Then last season I win the conference at 14-8 after starting 5-7. Anything can happen :)

Not so loud, not so loud - I don't want the new guys ready for me - I just wanna sneak up on them and then wham - get that win. So shhhhhhh, don't let the cat out of the bag.

Just wondering - how was everyone's draft? I noticed that our friend World Alliance got a Hall of Famer with the 16th pick. But, that is OK, cuz he is a generous guy, willing to share his good fortune with the rest of us. Any one of us, he is not partial, bless him, can have this draft pick for only a measly million bucks!!!

On the other hand, I noticed that the St. Louis Beasts picked up not one, but two - yes count them - two potential announcers. Geez, man what evil did you do in a previous division?? I just hope you didn't spend too much $$$$$$ on your scouting!! ;)

I think, I did OK - I got at least a temporary keeper with my 2nd pick.

I think these newcomers have done their homework though ;) speaking of honework..... *GROAN* more physics 20!

My draft was horrible, but I didnt invest so thats alright. Three new scrubs to carry waterbottles! :D

Lastly the salary update was kind to me! The beast I picked up? A 1k increase. Lovely. :)

Wait a minute.. Stu! We meet again! How've you been buddy!

Dude!! You talking to yourself - Sad, very Sad!! I know some people who can help :)

i didnt even scout... i went with the default order and lucked out lol
i doubt he'll actually sell for 1 mil though... we'll see =)

Just hoping he sees it! :P Although I do not deny that I am crazy... :)

Season 19 Predictions:

Big 8

1. Shabbies - Deadly outside attack that seems unstoppable. If they get the defensive part of the game set, then they are ready for big things!

2. Lightning Thunder - Being led by monster big men and a couple mediocre guards, but more acquisitions on the way and c'mon... a monster big man. Also led by arguably the greatest manager that the game has ever seen, The Mogul is- oh crap... awkward.

3. Botwood Raptors - First season? I expect big things from this team, well balanced and poised for success. An acquisition here or there can put them over the top.

4. New Brunswick Maddogs - Two big guards that can lead the way, but known for GS issues and a lack of big men. Still a strong opponent.

5. 85 FG% - If he decides to take a run he could do much much better than 5th, otherwise 5th looks like a nice position for him and easily attainable.

6. The UTE - Good starting lineup, but no depth. Made a nice run last season which was ultimately ended by Shabbies. Should finish 6th and survive though.

7. Van Cougars - First time up here and if Moe Dunn is sold, not much in terms of a roster beyond Henry Mills, Could still survive in 7th. Just more difficult.

8. Montreal Fireballs- Weakest team to promote into this league and even though this league is not too strong, this team is not prepared for battle. You never know though...

Great 8

1. East-End Screaming Goombas B.C. - Trying to sneak under the radar. Bite me. Jks :) but looking like a strong opponent, with good management. Only good things can come of that.

2. Big ballerz - Very inconsistent team, but with World Alliance out of the picture this team will fight for a championship this season. Good depth and balance.

3. Toronto Towers - Another inconsistent team, but once again with no outright favourite this team looks poised to try and snatch the championship.

4. Sun O)))s - A monster guard and good big man can lead to success and this team has that, how much success is yet to be seen, but can always bring it any given Tuesday/Saturday.

5. Murfs Blue Devils - Second try at division II, but this time seems more prepared. Should be able to withstand the ne competition. Could sneak in ahead of Sun O)))s.

6. The Cheetarian - Very quiet team that can sneak under the radar. If they will remains to be seen, I do not think they will.

7. St. Louis Beasts - Have not been improving too much and with a couple pretty good new teams joining the mix, this team is not looking at improving, but getting worse in the standings.

8. O-Ballas - Second time being promoted due to bot cleanup and looks no more prepared then last time. Should be the one easy win, if any, this season.

Thank you for your analysis. I found it interesting and informative, almost like a scouting report on the league. Now, if I have the pressure living up to your high expectations of actually winning. Talk about performance anxiety, just hope I don't come out too flat

By the way good luck everyone in season 19
