I'm glad we aren't in the same division. I feel like you're team is my nemesis. Always shuts me down.

Also, this is an example of what poor GS can do to a team. My guys were flat as the world out there.

I've never seen a crazier plus/minus split between starters and bench players.

We shall see. Although I need to make some moves to shore up my defense. Nonetheless, even if I do promote, I don't think my team as constructed is ready for D2.

Woah, a serious injury during a scrimmage game? I didn't think that was possible, anyone else ever experienced that?

Wow, congrats to Footpath for pulling off the upset on DC. Didn't see that one coming.

Also, this is going to be a very interesting matchup between Lengends and Milwaukee. Good offense vs good defense.

On my side, hope I can hold the Lillard/McCollum like duo, that Footpath has going on, in check.

Yeah unfortunately. If anything I've found whenever I play regular starters in scrimmages they were *more* likely to get injured. Would almost rather just take the game shape hit and not even risk it. I had 2 injuries in each of the last 2 scrimmages myself. Though nothing as serious as you had.

Sucks that it may have cost you first place. But at least you've got everyone back and ready for the playoffs!

Think you're the heavy favorite to win it all. The schedule is really breaking your way too. You essentially had a first round bye, then now have HCA + enthusiasm over Footpath. I'd say the Lengends have the next best shot with a loaded roster, then me third, and Footpath 4th. Though... I kind of am rooting for Footpath to win it all. Even were I fortunate enough to make it to the finals to face them, I'd still kind of want them to win.

BTW, just glanced at our previous game again. You're right, it really was insane! I mean my leading scoring for the game only played 9 minutes!!!

Congratulations (in advance) on winning the title!

It's probably in my best interests that you beat me anyway. As a 100% homegrown team, I'd get absolutely destroyed in Div 2. (it happened to my Utopia team already when they unexpectedly promoted). As I can't sign any new players or do much of anything.

It's not a done deal just yet! Your defense is great. Defense goes a long way in this game. You have a D.II defense while playing 3-2, so I think you could at least compete in D.II.

In all honesty though, I'm not really ready for D.II either. My bigs that I'm training aren't close to D.II talent. Plus I'll need to do some adjustments to the roster despite having limited money moving forward.

Dominating first quarter by you! 32 points with RNG is amazing, especially since I put a better defender out there this time. Your team is just in another class vs. the rest of the league. Even if your enthusiasm weren't so much higher than mine, it wouldn't really matter. Dorukan is an absolute monster, so was hoping you'd play RNG or motion. Yet that didn't even help. Will be curious to see that box score after the game.

My Utopia team is in the finals too. Was looking like they'd at least win. But are in the midst of an epic 4th quarter collapse. ETA- they just blew a 12 point lead somehow & now is going to OT. Ugh. USA III has been a lot tougher than Utopia III, not sure if that's surprising or not. Ok now they won.

ETA2 - my massive rebounding advantage in the ratings didn't really amount to anything. Anyway, you're the way better team so congrats again & GL in D2!

Not going to lie, I'm still very surprised I won. My team has never done well against yours, even dating back to when we were in the same D.II together.

I was very surprised by Dorukan playing so well in the RnG. Most points he has had for me since being on my team. Picked a good game to finally show up. Also, I was looking at that rebounding as well and am very surprised. That's actually the reason I went with the 2-3 defense against you in our first game this season.

Nevertheless, I've seen crazy things happen in BB during my 34 seasons of playing. So I'm not going to say you are out of it. Defense wins games, and you have a top level defense in D.III. So we shall see.
