Forget who was talking about FT% last season, but I remember hoping to get over the 80% hump.

I went 363-436 to shoot 83.3% from the line this season. :) Did you make it? I know my hacking team gave everyone here enough chances!

I know we appreciated the 40 Free Throws attempts you gave us last week :-)

That was me, I didn't make it. RNG was too great.

374-452 for 82.7%

What hurt were guys like Diomen Ismael with Wondrous FT shooting 60% (12-20), Kantans with Wondrous shooting 80% (44-55), and my highest FT guy, Pratt with Marvelous going 86.1% (62-72). Pratt took my 2nd most attempts, so I hoped his FT could carry me a bit.

I could have trained it a bit more, but decided to add some stamina and occasional GS. But if Pratt/Kantans/Ismael shot FT's like I figured they should have, I would have hit 85% for the team.

Well it's you and me now. I'm on a quest to bring my average in Finals from 1-4 to 2-5. I'd rather not have 4 silvers to 1 gold.

Should be a great series! I am hoping to ride HCA to a Championship victory. I am very nervous facing your great team.

I am 95% sure that if I win this series I am pretty much done with BB....Might just buy some trainees and let them ride and bank money and see if something sparks my interest in again in 5-7 seasons....If you win the series though, you force my hand and put my retirement plans hold....Can't quit until I win an NBBA Title.

I'm sort of the same. My team's aging. I have no future building blocks besides Ismael, but he's going to be 28 in two weeks and he's capped.

Economically, it makes the most sense to gut right after you win a title. You've got a ton of guaranteed cash coming in, so you can be fielding nobodies and still sell out your arena. This means ignoring the B3, which isn't fun, but you can't win the B3 without a very large bankroll to begin with. And that's something I lack.

So this is my window. I could maybe stretch it another season, but I'd have to get lucky with the TL and whose available on it for what price coincides for when I have cash.

It's far too hard (and I won't have nearly the cash necessary) to get the type of players I want for an outside attack (the TL has no viable guards with the skills necessary, and the outside bigs are all super expensive). So figuring out training would be a gigantic pain in the rear. It's possible I just say, "Screw it" and retire instead of training new guys. I doubt I train another inside focused team, although there are a few things I've wanted to change about my current team that I suppose I could do in a new one.

How does Game 1 of the Championship end up with fewer fans in attendance than the Conference Championship?

Wow, couldn't have scripted a worse start to this series than that. Can't shoot, can't defend, can't hang on to the ball, can't make FTs....so far, we look very outclassed and don't belong on the same court as Bullish. Whoa!

Now THAT is weird. I don't think I've ever seen a championship game not fully sell out the arena. Maybe they're too partied out from celebrating your Cup win?

I thought about going 2-3 zone against you, but I'm pretty happy I didn't. Forcing 15 turnovers to only 16 assists is really good. As expected, you crushed me on the glass. I swear the 2-3 zone gives a boost to not just defensive rebounding, but also offensive rebounding. I was thinking I might have to go 2-3 zone just to protect my own glass.

What is your experience with inside iso? I personally haven't used it in a league game before but I like what I see from your boxscore yesterday.
