NBBA Season 69 – Day 2 Recap (Tuesday, July 15, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Flashover Fizzles, Mos Eisley Rises, Knights Come Back to Earth
The NBBA’s second night of action delivered early turbulence for some early hopefuls while giving a first win to several bounce-back squads. Expansion teams continued to make noise, while some NBBA mainstays were forced to recalibrate.

ETBU Survives Splash Gang’s Speed Surge
The Tigers held off a late Splash Gang push, winning 93–91 in a high-paced clash that came down to the final minute. L. Feaster carried ETBU with 34 points and cool decision-making, while D. Cho’s sharpshooting wasn’t quite enough to salvage the Gang’s night. Splash Gang falls to 1–1.

Kings Knights Fall on the Road to 10inch Vertical
The grit-and-grind Knights stumbled in a 103–82 away loss, overwhelmed by Vertical’s physicality and second-half run. After a strong Day 1 win, Kings now drop to 1–1 and will need to regain control of tempo to reassert themselves.

HumanFund Roasts LA Lions
The Lions roared on Day 1, but HumanFund smothered them with full-court pressure and crisp ball movement. A 110–74 rout saw HumanFund notch 28 assists and 13 steals in a dominant showing—just the response they needed after an opening loss.

Mos Eisley Get First NBBA Win in Shootout with Cavaliers
The Imperials bounced back in a wild 115–107 win over Virginia, fueled by a monster 60-rebound performance. After a rough debut, the franchise notches its first NBBA win—gritty, fast-paced, and fully earned.

TarTeam Grinds, Visionaries Shine, Stark Stays Perfect
TarTeam continued its efficient start with a 98–84 win over Silverbacks behind Kruger’s 24 boards. Visionaries smothered Flashover in an 83–68 stunner—Flashover couldn’t repeat their opening fireworks. Meanwhile, Stark Contrast stayed unbeaten with another composed win over Resurrected Fury.

Mill City Thunder Evens the Record
Reigning champs Mill City bounced back from their Day 1 upset by downing Beware of Dogs 97–81. Quiroz exploded for 35 points while Ruojia set the tone on both ends. The Thunder are now 1–1 and back in rhythm.

Key Takeaways:
• ETBU Tigers are already proving they belong.
• Kings Knights must sharpen their defense and composure on the road.
• Mos Eisley Imperials’ hustle paid off in their NBBA breakthrough.
• Flashover’s hot start fizzled hard—was it just opening-day magic?
• Mill City Thunder responded like champions.
• Visionaries and TarTeam are quietly emerging as early spoilers.

Final Word:
Day 2 was all about balance. Powerhouses were humbled, rookies rose, and no team looked safe. With NBBA parity at an all-time high, this season might be defined not just by talent—but by who adjusts the fastest.

Love the writeup! How have I never seen that on Buzzer-Manager before?

Glad to hear it that you guys like it

You haven’t seen it Peluin as it’s not from Buzz-Manager. It’s from ChatGPT. I just use the Buzz-Manager stat summary as guidelines for AI to write up a summary. Then edit it by giving it some interesting inputs and post it up here. It’s something I started not too long ago as I learned more about how to use AI and just wanted to give it more life to the forums.

I was happy that you joined the NBA because I was already following your recaps when you were in L2. 🙂

There's a mistake in the standings : Mill City Thunder is 1-1.

Oh shoot. Good catch 🤦‍♂️I made the correction! The AI was acting up this time and not tracking properly wins. That one slipped through.

Ah ok I thought it looked AI generated but I didn't want to accuse you if you just happened to write in that style. Funny how it inherited the "from buzzermanager" subtitle, that's what confused me.

If you pay attention on the discord you've probably seen me ramble multiple times about "oh we could build an app for XYZ" and now I want to integrate the BBAPI with this kind of summary so it can whine about injuries, transfer list timing and home court advantage like a true NBBAer

Yeah initially I tried writing it myself, but it was taking too long for me to write it in order to do it consistently, so I gave it a shot to AI and quite liked what it was putting out. Ah, yes I can see that being confusing. It’s only second season doing it, so still just working it out how to format the summaries and haven’t worked out per say a good code name.

Oh that be amazing! I agree, somebody should do that 😅 but it’s above my expertise level.

Great write ups. The injury bug has hit Mill City HARD, first two games of the season my top 2 salary guys both go down with 2-3 week injuries. What a terrible beginning to repeat attempt

Horrible luck, feels unfair to be playing you Saturday with half your payroll in street clothes
