are we all relegated to the fact that the nuggets cant be beat or does anyone think red paint can cause an upset or another team for that matter. ive given up on the season and am frantically saving my pennys. Also ive only spent 20k on scouting this year so if someone who has scouted a lot could let me know of a great sg in the draft that would be appreciated.

Yeah I'm looking that way as well, unless I win my next 2 games which I don't think is going to happen as my stamina is all over the place at the moment

I've been selling my players since the ASG, or maybe a bit before I think. I've had 3 (or 4) straight semi-final knockouts and so given that the Nuggets have some money to spend and will likely win it all, there is no point in even trying to compete this season. it's rebuilding time.

Yeah I've sold off some of my players too but theres one who I won't to sell be ge just isn't selling for the price I want arrrgggh, so might have to lower :/
Also Jets sorry I forgot to set my lineup so didn't get to throw the game my bad :/ Was hoping to lose and face relegation serious and then demote and come up somewhere else but it looks like I'm unfortunatly going to get 5th unless you can win the rest of your games...

I think, given a bit of luck, i can beat the Nuggets. Considering i only lost to them by 6 points at their home ground whilst i TIEd the game and he normalled it. when you consider home ground advantage is supposed to be worth about 15 points, not a bad result for me.

But people continue to over look the RED PAINT.

Nugget's current team is beatable, a few teams have the capability, Kanga TST Me You(redpaint), but as nugget said at the start of the season, he has millions of dollars saved up, he is going to revamp his whole team come play off time in preparation for his promotion which will happen. This is why everyone has been blowing up their team, I could have handled him if I didn't sell my PG. Might as well prepare for the inevitable.

Agree with Flow here Red, he says he has money and I believe him. He pretty much forewarned us so we don't waste our time. Like I said the other day, I've gutted my entire roster; only 3 players left to sell. I actually beat him in the middle of the season with that team, but once he deploys his cash as we are expecting him to do, I just don't think it'll be close. Would love to be proven wrong though, best of luck!

No way he uses he's cash to try to beat us. If he does, he'll promote and struggle for a season in Div II and relegate again. I think he'll keep he's money for the next season when/if he promotes and just rely on the fact that he has a pretty good chance to beat us already.

Theres no doubt he's heavy favourite but its no sure thing especially with injuries, which he hasn't had any of yet this season (as far as i've seen.) and you normally always get one a season. I've been playing this game since season 2, started in the U.S. then moved to Australia a few seasons ago, and everytime i have no injuries during the season i always got one during the playoffs. Normally conference finals.

I'm gonna have to go with Silo here and say that there's no way he'll blow all his money to get up to Div.III, although I do think he will invest some money into promote but I definetely feel someone may be able to beat him if they play it right, what your saying about injuries though Silo is silly, I doubt he will get an injury and you definetely shouldn't be relying on one anyway.

He doesn't need to blow all his money to get to div 2. His roster now can beat all teams in the league while TIEing, and on bad nights TIEing some teams can beat him. All he needs to do is spend 1.5 mil to buy two 80k salary centres and we're screwed. He just got demoted from div 2 last season, and the revenues there are way higher, + he absolutely tanked last season, he'll have 6 mil+ I'm sure he'll be happy to spend 1.5 mil to guarantee his promotion, he can't afford to stay an extra season in div 3, div 2 earns you SO much more money, which is exactly why he will promote just because he needs to, wants to and can. Even if he promotes to div 2 just to demote next season, heck it's worth it, he can just tank it, save a crap load of money and improve his team, rather than not spend, mull around div 3 for another season with its low revenue. As I said he doesn't even need to "blow" all his money to promote, just 1.5-2 mil here and there, not much money to him anyways. That is what he would logically do. Would love to see him prove me wrong, not buy anyone and blow the playoff race open though. We shall see.
