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.

That Shawn Kelly quote is an outright lie.

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.

What's interesting to me is seeing the boxscore and noting that the team playing FCP fouled less. Not that you had anything to worry about in that game.
