I've got "In your face," a middling II.1 side at their place. He's saved a good chunk of his best players' minutes for me. Also, I lost Fabio and have not been around at good times to pick up a new big man or two with my Ambrosio money. I just picked up some Hungarian as a stop-gap measure, and hopefully I'll be through to the quarters. We shall see.

Tied and am sitting home watching the cup like you mister.

What did I lose to? An inside trainer and it's my first ever loss to a non-nbba team. My only saving grace is they were here before me!

I wasn't the one whining how I was under .500 for the first time.... I was the person who said I am tired of my guys getting shut down with a 1-3-1 and my team fouling like crazy....

Sents finish season with dissapointing 1st round exit
After the Sentinels loss against SBCT tonight the coach had this to say before making his way to the locker room, "Not much to say on this one, we burned our players out on the cup and it showed tonight. I saw a lot of tired legs going for jumpshots. Believe me this is not going to fade from memory very soon and our priorities will be right next year."

I was happy to set your priorities right.

You sold some players and got a fix for the 1-3-1 craze people had for you. If you face a 1-3-1 now its because they guessed right, not because its the obvious play.

Im not worried about the record, my goals this season were to expand my arena to bring my revenue stream inline with my competitors and to avoid relegation. I think Ill manage both. Im also in position to make a player very Joakim like by the ASG of next season only this one won't turn the ball over.

As for inside training vs outside I'll maintain that both have their advantages and both can be effective. The Bulls are an example of a team that has been succcessful at going the guard route so there are no valid excuses. Sick of your down low people fouling out to a look inside? Try getting outboarded by a run and gun team because 2-3 also helps their offensive rebounding.

We will lock horns again, you still don't have a solution for Ante. I'm pretty sure your guards won't have as easy a time of scoring next year. =)

Also you took it easy from the looks of it at the Wahoos place. His team is very good judging from the salaries of his players. Sounds like you were overconfident, his guards were better than mine during our matchup and he has a powerforward/center combo that is equivilant. You should have lost that game, its not due to some kinda crazy imbalance so much as he put more into it and had homecourt.

Eh, 1 lost playoff game vs a loss that still sticks in your craw to this day. Easy trade =)

Joakim? Who is Joakim?

I never thought I would see the day you would use the bulls for an example of anything.

You show me one game where you lost to a 2-3 run and gun team because they were not better than you. I hope you plan on using the bulls.

anyone expecting to be CT'd tonight?

Keivan Cossacks last year PL. I think theres a couple of the games I could have been in during interleague had I not been a crappy manager with my TIE vs Normals but I really don't think talking about what could have been is in good form. I got taken to the woodshed. The main difference between our match this year and the games I played against the rest of the Big 8 is that they had post players who could slow mine down, you didn't.

Now you do but who is going to have more progress on their trainee class by next year? O'neal is old and is already having a crappy year. Hes a product of your constant RnG/Motion Tactics and his percentage is terrible. Hes not effective at the SF so what are you going to do? Eat up more valuable training minutes holding onto him because of what he USED to do for you? My money is on me. If the game is at my place Ill take you to the woodshed, if its at yours it will be close. BTW Joakim is not a Powerforward, get a legitimate one and stop mascarading Carl and Joakim at that spot. Its embarassing.

DFC & southsound going head to head, this is a good read

Our teams are just a little familiar with each other.

No fair picking on teams that are not around to defend themselves

Great - your a crappy manager..... At least you got something right...

Congrats you got yet another regular season win. You should be used to that meanwhile in Games that count.... I win! And you didn't mention any of those games so my team must be better.

I would be focused on getting to the playoffs if I were you. It might not help your manager skills when you play me when it counts, at least you will know what to do with your spare time.

Who does joakim play for. If I say he plays point guard, power forward, left bench, right bench.... etc he plays that position.

As for John, you didn't stop him and havent yet
