Ouch. Bad. Ug. Opening round playing out as expected. 1's looking good against the 4's. 2's and 3's in tight fought battles.

Reston played a great game. Unusual for them in that they lost the foul battle though. Not at all happy with how well I shot free throws. That will be a killer on Saturday. On a side note, Preibys deserves some type of recognition for just being a freak of nature superstar. At 35 his skill's can not be what they once where, yet he just went out and posted 25 /14, 61% from the field while being guarded by a center making 250k a week. And that center's secondary skills are not the typical big man joke skills. Can he dominate again next season at 36?

How do you celebrate the scoring title? Drop 30 in 28 mins, foul out when you stop giving two shits.

Yep! This is one of the worst aspects of BB. Plus the fact that one is rarely rewarded for creating—and maintaining—a strong successful franchise. Guess there is little we can do except keep harping on it...

Agreed, it's not like your team just backed into the playoff's by chance after a crappy season. For the best team in the league - based simply on your record - there is no realistic reason that you do not sell out, or reach the attendance capacity of your arena for ticket prices.

the worst part of this game is there is no MAX SALARY CAP
seems like the trend is to tank and just out spend everyone to win at this level
not so dependent on player development or tactic
what a boring sequence one has to endure zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I don’t really think tanking and out-spending everyone has been an issue in DII.4 (Jason is the only one to do it, as far as I can remember).   (13442244).


I don't think this is a fair characterization of what I did at all. I had a $513K payroll, plus Bland. Some would argue that Bland did not provide near the value to match his cost. Shoemaker helped me win the DIV Championship in Season 15 and Danila, Zvonc, and Bisi were all on my Season 16 team that won the DIII championship. That means half of my D2 championship team I had since Season 16 or longer.

Zvonc, Bisi, Danila, and Onkol (who was on those two championship teams as well) were all players I bought as 18 year olds and trained them from the ground up. Shoemaker had a small head start on training, but I did 80% of his development as well.

I only train guards, so I have no choice but to buy bigs to complete the team. If my team is not an example of winning by player development, and matching players to fit the tactic, I don't know what is.
