Yeah I'm surprised to see the bangerz getting smashed the way they are. I thought they would come out blazing after a dissapointing playoff run. Maybe their owner is taking the season off, but I would love to see them pick their game up and once again be the contender they regularly are. As for the Magic, I don't follow the big 8 as closely, but they have always been a great team. I think they had in their subs for their last league game, but with their starters playing I feel they could make it back into a playoff spot.

Hey goats I actually missed your analysis when i checked the forum previously and just noticed it now. Thats pretty cool how you figured that all out. Yeah i have gone normal all season, which i realize is a mistake i have done almost every season. I almost never take easy and therefore normally have lower enthusiam than all the teams i play. The result of this is i normally start off strong, but then get caught up to by the other good teams. I guess my team had an off night against you because losing every category is very embarassing especially considering you TIE(despite you already had higher enthusiasm). At this point in the season your team is going through a healing process, and I'm putting my team through a rebuilding process. I sold my starting pg, back-up sg(also plays pg and sf depending on what i need of him) and am trying to sell my starting center. In addition to these sales my starting sf is injured for 2 weeks which really killed me in terms of players minutes. I bought a new pg (semi on accident) who just needs some defensive training and will end up starting, and I will buy a much upgraded center that is desperately needed. I would be fine minutes wise replacing 3 players with 2 if only my starting sf was healthy. Untill then + the time it takes to train my new pg my team is going to be fairly weeker than normal, but when I'm done look out.

If I was taking the season off, I'd have an excuse .... :(

Son of a....

How do I keep forgetting to set a lineup?

No matter, the Magic are in the tank now.

Or perhaps we're just seeing how deep a hole we can dig before scrambling back out?

Nah, we're done.

49 mothertruckin' points against a team I've played close the last two times!!? Jesus, Lorenzo Capps, Clinton Cantrell, Lowell Webber, Vernon Partridge, Vivencio Capelo are ALL in the firing range right now ... no blind folds either; they KNOW what's coming to them!

I'd say good game to Indiana but that was just a flat out pissy match by my team that they all deserved the chopping block.

Either way, congrats to the Gavno for completely embarrassing the piss out of my Goats.

My best scorer returns.....and STILL get clobbered. As I said, we are gonna start spending bucu money on scouting.

Interleague play, you have a chance to get back up, I mean c'mon you can't let rip city finish ahead of you, that's not the right way to treat a newly promoted team

WOW I am impressed by Gavno. They put up some serious ratings, i guess youre going to have to wait untill your newly healed guys build some game shape back up. Good Luck. I'm happy Gavno did play like that against my team in the beginning of the season

We are approaching the halfway in season 11, and almost all the games were decided before 4th quarter. Cleveland chose to focus on the Cup, TIE'd and lost against Hawks. 77-54. Former 2nd division teams, Booshers and Magic played at Stationary Village and home side didn't have any difficulty. 111-78. Magic has a tough schedule ahead but GM Magic Man believes they are gonna be in the playoff picture sooner or later. Although they are the 3rd high scoring team in Big 8, they are also the worst defensive team so far in the league and fans have every right to expect some D. Tachenko didn't give struggling Cresley's any chance. 112-97. Rips are now a .500 team thanks to their great offensive performance against Flyers. 125-113. That was the closest game of the day.

Gavno held Goats under 50 and stayed on top of Great 8. 71-49. The interesting fact is Goats were better when using their backups. Illusion were too much for Steppers. 121-88. They dominated the paint and shot 55% form the field. Bangers crashed Dragons and are officially back. 92-59. Investors move to 3rd place with a comfortable win against Knicks. 101-84. Knicks' losing streak increased to 4 and bells are ringing in New York City.

This division has a bunch of great big men and one of them was the player of the day: Félix Mayagoitia (4475792) of Tachenko. Career high 26 rebounds plus 24 pts, 5 dimes and 11/15 from the field.

Teams will get back to action on Saturday. Hawks @ Tachenko can be brutal and betting odds say Tachenko has the edge. Bangers @ Illuison might be an interesting one as well.

Great summary as usual! I went looking for something solid to back up your statement about my backups playing better than my starters. Here's the proof:

Goats Starters: 59.4 Possessions, 33 points, 0.56 points per possession
Goats Backups: 22.8 Possessions, 16 points, 0.70 points per possession

This simple analysis will lead me to analyzing how the level of importance an individual player's success is to the overall success of the team. I'm curious to know if Capps really is as important to my team winning as impression he gives to the rest of the league.

Thanks. I think it might be about the game shape also. Once they are back in shape your team will be scary. I Actually Great 8 is scary, I am not looking forward to playing interleague games this season.
