Haha, thanks dude! Looking forward to competing again. Still in that awkward process of finding an appropriate trainee. I'm determined not to follow the 'calum method', out of interest what's your opinion of what that is? I consider it concentration on beautiful SF/PG back-court guys but i'm not sure if that's my actual 'legacy', lol.


No, it's not??? Man, should have never trusted those monks to translate the sacred book of calum! :)

Joking aside, my 1-3 guys are practically the poor-man version of your former guys. Still they hold their own relatively well at this level so I would say that model still works. GDP came in play at the start of your sabbatical but as you've noticed, ISO is a good counter tactic to keep the opponent guessing.

Golden Horde modeled his squad this way on his way to the NBBA, and the Cacti, from what i can tell, has a squad full of these players.

can this approach win at this level? Funky Town won three straight titles; TnT has been in the top five nationally for many seasons and has a Cup and Title to his name, but GH changed the focus of his team this season, possibly to better position himself to tackle the 800-pound Whalers. i expect the Cacti to be making some big moves soon, and wonder if they will try to enhance the Calum approach or take the off-ramp to Look Inside.

Does my luck seem like a plan? It would just be a coincidence since I was an early season loss away from selling everyone and starting over.

Haha. Yes indeed Inside ISO is nice! I'm going for kick-ass shooting C/PFs this time around, let's see how that goes!

It was a dreadful final 11 minutes for your team. I finished on a 31-6 run. Shitty loss in the way it played out, but we were pretty evenly matched there. Should have been closer throughout the game, but I'm lucky to end up with the win.

Hopefully this is just a reaction to a shitty loss and you'll stick around. You're built for another few seasons, and if you can avoid injuries you can definitely compete next season. Good luck!

Ouch, that is a tough loss Stags. I wonder if these type of drama are created by the GE to map to a known outcome ... giving us a false sense that the game plays in real time.

Yeah that's what I think, I feel like just choked slammed the rock through a steal cage from the top of a ladder, had a 2 1/2 pin on him before I somehow got the rock bottomed and pinned.


Agreed, anybody who can write this deserves a better fate. Best post since the last thing whatever Hrudey may have written.

Man magiker, this last game of the season between us is turning out to be an interesting one! There is high chance the loser will fall out of the PO.

Yea, the last playoff spot on the Great 8 side is very much up for grabs. Even though I'm in 5th currently, I control my own destiny and will be in the #4 spot if I win on Saturday. Then the winner of the second most important game you two will play over the next week would get the #3 seed.
