Kartlos Skhirtladze is a definite concern. As is greek-god, "Dodge" Stratis Dialektos.

But if you remember game 2 of last season's finals, Kartlos came in to a tie game in the 4th quarter. He single-handedly willed your team to a 4 point lead. Then for some reason you replaced him with only 3 1/2 minutes left. The end result: you ended up losing by 7 points. Hopefully you continue to undervalue his presence on the court.

My thoughts on the Great 8 finals: The Contortionists had far & away the weakest offense in all of Div II. But they made up for it with their "bend" not break defense & a shifty lineup of ne'er-do-wells. They struggled offensively in round 1, and look to score even less (if that's possible) in the conference finals. Any path to success will involve dirty play, injury & their usual slow paced snooze-fest on offense. Not pretty to watch, but effective. The Kelly Sportsbook in PA has the Contortionists on the board as a 1000-1 favourite. With odds like that, anything short of a win will be considered a complete failure & can only be viewed as a managerial emasculation.

Agreed, it's completely plausible.

Your outside shooting for team finally paid off. Beautiful 3rd quarter for you. Simply amazing.

Yeah, you know things are rolling when Ciaputa hits a jumpshot, lol. (last 3 games a combined 3-33 shooting for the Great 8 all-star SG).

Good game though. Seriously thought I was going to lose at halftime. I mean it was only a 1 point game & Hartmann was playing like a man possessed rebounding-wise. (14 in the first half). Plus your team had more than twice as many off. boards as me. Your offense even broke 20 in the 2nd quarter...

Luckily I had a priest on hand & secretly performed an exorcism before the start of the 3rd quarter. As a man no longer possessed, Hartmann had just more 2 rebs the entire 2nd half. So now you know why Vaidas Bardauskis was added late in the season (the only one on my roster without a jersey number.) (22475845)

Yay, I gave up 11 FT attempts in the 1st quarter... while my team took 30 shots & didn't get a single FT attempt? really?? le sigh

halftime update: let me get this straight. MBMD has 4 players that played the entire game (fatigue?), including a SG defending at PF... yet I haven't had a single FT yet? but they're on pace for 22 free points? in fact i've only drawn 3 fouls. Sorry, but this is beyond BS. If it was me that was doing that... I'd still say the same thing. (& have) It would be one thing if MBMD was actually playing well, you know actually making a lot of shots, especially the SG at PF. However that player is only 2-4 with 1 trip to the line.
