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.

I just don't get how that SG at PF could play all 48 minutes & only commit 2 fouls the entire game. FCP & there wasn't a single timeout until midway 3rd quarter... While only 2 of my guys played over 27 minutes total. & if that SG's simply backing off whoever he's matched up with, how can my backup PF shoot only 2-7? The shooting % for all my inside players should either be doubled or they should have gotten to the FT line. 1 FT attempt for my PFs combined, reallly?

Anyway winning & losing isn't the issue... just that the 2 games I had vs. MBMD have been complete BS. I mean the 1st game against him he had 31 FT attempts playing RNG... & drew a ton of off the ball fouls (27 fouls). While I actually attacked the basket last game & drew all of 3 fouls the 1st half.

Also, not a fan of injury...
but how are none of his guys injured -- playing that many minutes, that fatigued, getting fouled so much?
Yet just in the past couple weeks i had: (1) the league's MVP injured 20 secs into a game, (2) my new SG/SF injured 3 minutes into a playoff game, (3) a backup injured in the 1st quarter today, (4) another 1st half injury in a different scrimmage.
I'm sick of them being handed a ton of free points, getting even non-foul prone players in foul trouble, & being blatantly favored for some reason. What I want: stop the seeming favoritism or whatever you want to call it & let the players actually play. You know... making shots, rebounding, passing, defending, etc. Let the game be decided by that.

Edit: (for the record i won both games, the last by over 40 pts, so not "sour grapes")

Finally a good game. No crazy fouling & some great shooting by MBMD.
I'd actually be less bothered *losing* that type of game than winning the other type.

Really surprised fatigue doesn't seem to matter much. Thought MBMD should have been the one to jump out to a big lead early if anything, with me making a late run. (played his starters all game again... 1 guy had *53* min & was rebounding his own FT miss in OT!) anyway, was an exciting game.
