Thanks for the sentiments Russ. It has been a rough year for injuries for sure, but this builds character and even with all the problems we are still scrapping and have a 23-15 record (after tonight's 9th straight win at home over the Lakers, sorry!). My forum is lame, but i suppose i can try and live vicariously through Jimmy. Good luck man!

It was a great day to be a Blazer fan.

Oh I'll take the PL win tonight too. Harv is killing me in this Private League.

Coming down to earth tomorrow @ Booshes. Back to reality.

Do private league minutes count towards training? If not, what's the advantage?

no it doesn't. you play PL for fun or trying new strategies against different teams.

Thanks Hawks. Blazers have been unlucky, but it builds character! My BB team "Oden's Ravens" is going through some injury difficulty right now with a 4 week injury to my starting SF...he's down to 3 weeks now, but i had never seen one over 2 weeks before...What is the longest anyone has seen a player be down for injury?

PS. A sports writer from the LA Times referred to the Rose Garden (Blazers arena) as the "Torture Chamber" for the Lakers...I may have to change my arena name now...RIP CITY!

Im having weird games too.. One team that MUST make the most of what they have is Rip City.. Looking at Salary.. I dont know if they have many player at all over 12k or so.. but the manager is getting the most outta them and holding their own.. I have had game also where according to the "Rating system" I was much better than the opponent.. but was smoked) I think Matchups are huge, home court is a factor.... Still guessing on Enthusiasm ....

Home court advantage used to be an insanely large factor. I remember in the first few season I was playing this game, the team who was home won the game, no questions asked, but it seems that nowadays it's fixed. As for matchups and enthusiasm, I think entusiasm is a pretty big factor (not saying too big, but it does play a large role), and the newly created matchups along with the help line defense(it used to be no matter what the pg was guarding the pg, sg on the sg, and so on for every scoring opportunity posted in the live view), can change the outcome of a game.

Congradulations Rip City on your victory over the booshes, I hope i can get the same result in my match against him this upcoming tuesday.

WOO INTERLEAGUE PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. Frankly I was shocked that it was even close (I expected to get blown out). The matchups have been a great boost for me defensively. I have a few guys whose offensive skills and defensive skills mismatch. Its allowed me to customize my attack on both sides of the ball. As far as enthusiasm goes, I feel like this is a big part of the game. To me its as big as game shape. Ideally I'd have a team with a 12+ enthusiasm full of proficient game shapes.
