Xarn,

I use the PL games to test new lineups, matchups and defensive strategies. Usually I'm playing in a league where I know everybody and so it allows us to discuss our options for that night. For example I know that Oden's Ravens likes to play a Motion 3-2, but he might test Look Inside 1-3-1 against me just to see how his personnel works in those sets.

The advantage is that it doesn't count against your training minutes and so it doesn't affect game shapes. If you want to see how a guy does out of position for 48 minutes you can test that without impacting the training regimen.

I knew I had zero chance vs Indiana Gavano. I started my backups to help balance out my minutes for the week.

That Indiana Team is Money. Granier may be the best player in the league.

That's dissapointing because youre feeding him point differncial, which can be very crucial when it gets closer to playoff time.

I'm very nervous about my game against Booshers, but also very excited. Rip City's victory was very important in my team's confidence though because now we know that not just the undefeated Hawks can take them down.

Cresleys are waving the white flag. We never had the money to compete in DIV III. We got lucky last season in winning the D IV title. Soooo, we are going to concentrate on training and development. If we win, we win. We don't, oh well.

Booshers are very strong but you have the home court and you are almost unbeatable at home, so Booshers is the team that should be nerveous.

Ray,

Don't throw in the towel yet. You only need to find a way to finish in 7th for a chance at relegation. I was in the same boat as you last season. I trained for relegation and found a way to beat a team that was better than mine. Don't give up. You may go down to a tough Div 4!

The truth is, I got lucky last season. A few teams dropped owners, which allowed me to waltz through games. I was the sixth or seventh team in my Division at the beginning of the season. I just got hot at the right time, and I figgered that I could pick up a decent player. When I saw that the first two games were flukes, and got hammered everywhere else, the writing was on the wall. Hopefully, I can stay up. But, without a serious shot of Viagra, this team is going limp.

Prov is right I was in a relegation series two seasons ago in D III my first season up and won that series. Last season I made it to the playoffs. Prov was in a relegation series last season and he looks poised to make a serious run at the playoffs this season. Alot can be learned and accomplished in one season. Just keep plugging away and learning from games. Don't throw in the towel. We have all had bad games and bad seasons. All of us.

TIE against you tonight so you'll probably blow me out.

Trying to identify the games that are winnable and the games that are not, I need to use TIE to get that enthusiasm up.

Here's hoping Jorge can go off for about 40-45 pts to keep that leading scorer title safely tucked away.


EDIT: Wow. Did not expect to get that win. The match engine was cruel to both of us tonight. Up by 7 after 3 quarters, I had to watch you go on a 17-4 run to start the 4th. I had just about reconciled that I deserved to lose anyway when all of a sudden your team turned into a masonry crew. My guards certainly carried the day.

I am at a loss. In fact, I'm at seven losses.
