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.

Big 8 and Great 8 are tied at 4 on the first day of Interleague play. All the games were played at great 8 teams' home so it's better to wait for Saturday to see if Great 8 really improved. (we all know they have really improved)

Boosher's inside offense overcame Illusion's run'n gun approach.87-107. Booshers's 33 assists against Illusion's 11 is just one of the reasons how the away team won. Booshers GM wasn't joking when he said he has some tricks in his pocket. Another important game of the day was between Goats and Hawks. Goats made a strong start, faded away on the second quarter. Hawks' big guys came up big on the defensive end to preserve the win for Hawks. 92-99. Tachenko switched their post oriented offense to a more balanced strategy and that paid off against Knicks. 93-103. Looks like everyone TIEs against Gavno. Cleveland saved some energy for their next game and Gavno are now one game ahead of Illusion. 65-95. Bangers have beaten Rip City with a great defensive effort. 85-65.

Flyers pull out victory at Dragons thanks to their awesome 4th quarter performance. 89-99. Magic knew they had to beat Steppers, tried hard, came close but fell short. 99-94. Investors move to 3rd place after an easy win against Cresleys. 106-91.

Player of the day was Adan Mays (7924472) of Steppers. He lead the way for his team with 29 pts, 11 asts, 5 stls, 4 rbs against Magic.

The top teams of both conferences, Indianapolis Hawks and Indianan Gavno will play at Indianapolis Arena on Saturday and right now that's the hottest ticket in Indiana. Gavno's enthusiasm against Hawks' homecourt makes it hard to predict the outcome.

Magic finally returns home after a 3 game road trip with a 0-3 and wants to build confidence against the talented Illusion. Crucial game for both sides and another must see game of the day.

Again great analysis and I will be checking in on the Hawks/Gavno game that will be very interesting.

Nice breakdown.... This game vs Clevland Crazy's this week is going to be a tough one! New England teams never play well on the road in Clevland!

I went CT for the cameras. In fact, I was down 72-68 before they pulled away.

Yes but the Crazy's have been struggling this season so far.

Day 9 will be remembered as one of the craziest weeks of all. It was the day of Big 8, they went 7-1 and showed everyone that not much has changed since last season.

Hawks won the battle of No 1 teams: 113-109. Gavno wanted to win the game and used a surprising outside strategy, however didn't want to sacrifice enthusiasm and TIE'd.

Welcome back Magic, we really have missed you. They crushed Illusion and are out of intensive care: 108-95. First half score was unbelievable 64-32. Illusion -lost 2 games in 5 days- is desperately looking for revenge from any Big 8 team they will face next and no one wants to be their next opponent. Magic still has a mountain to climb but with the way they look against Illusion, it's safe to say they can beat anyone anywhere.

Only winning great 8 team was the Goats. Beating Tachenko at their home is not an easy task and Goats are now stronger for the title race. Both teams have great frontcourts but difference maker was backcourts. Goats backcourt (especially Cantrell) outplayed Tachenko and grabbed a huge win: 79-89.

Booshers have beaten Bangers on the only televised game of the day: 82-63. Bangers put up an all around effort with no major flaws but Booshers have the deepest roster on the league and look more dangerous than ever.

Cleveland easily beat Investors: 86-62. No Investor player reached double figures. Cleveland only committed 9 fouls throughout the game and some of the guys' jerseys didn't need to be washed at all.

Rip City can be merciless sometimes. They crushed Knicks: 103-54. If they need point difference as a tie breaker at the end of the season, this is the game they will remember with a big smile on their faces. Knicks losing streak increased to 7.

Flyers grabbed an impressive win over Steppers. 112-74. Steppers gave too many second chances, 79 rebounds against 37 was more than they can handle. Flyers won their last two games and might be ready for the playoff race.

Cresleys finally won a game and this might open up a new chapter for them: 107-95. Dragons still winless, but not hopeless. They could have won unless their 2 best players were fouled out.

Player of the day was Mitch Holloway (2893231) of the Magic. 24 pts, 10 asts, 5 rbds, 2 stls and no TO or fouls.

Tuesday's most interesting game will be between Tachenko and Gavno. Both lost on Saturday and don't want to lose again. Rip City @ Goats is also a game that we can all expect some great basketball.

Mitch Holloway was the key to Magic's dominate victory over me, well...him and the horific 39% shooting from my team. The majority of that low percentage was contributed by John Barr and Nicolas Briand. I can't give them all the blame though, because the coach has simply played them way too many minutes and their game shape has suffered. In order to turn around from this 2 game losing streak the Illusion are going to have to find a new pg that can play some defense, and move the ball around on offense, and improve their starters game shape.

Take away the 27 FTs made by the Cresleys, Dragons totally dominated the game if you look at the stats. Hopefully, we can remain competitive the rest of the season.
