To quote myself after game 3 - "Bibby Brotherhood's 3 man starting line-up gave up 189 to a Glasgow Raptors team who were in no mood to go easy on them... If Bibby continue this then further in the season when both enthusiasm rises & cross-conference play starts somebody may hang a 200 point game on them." Well tonight was that night! Skytturnar played Run&Gun / Full Court Press, Bibby did indeed play a 3 man lineup (and had Villa foul out after 28 mins!), and the final score was 209-41 behind +370 to -17 efficiency, 78-16 in rebounds, 77-1 (!) in assists, 46 steals to 4, and 5 players finishing with more pts than mins.

Elsewhere, the two games with the most stakes saw Revolta Culé, B.C. and Dropito keeping the pressure on Skytturnar and Glasgow Blue Jays in the Big 8 by winning their matches in a tale of two shooting guards. Revolta double-guessed correctly the Raptor tactics and eased to a 107-82 win. It may have been closer but for Rafail Bak and his shocker of a performance at SG going 1-16, 4-0-1-1-0 in 36 mins. Dropito had a much tougher time, being taken to overtime before winning 140-135 against a Raging Seagull who had their SG Tony Bonavia score 58 on 24-39 (5-9 from 3) shooting.

I can understand if man need to save financial crisic with players with salary (not the case tonight). I can understand there is a huge quality difference, especially between managers or whatever.

But I can´t understand being in the game on the matchday (login), having 18 players (why 18?), and having only 3 in setup!

Last season I fall put because scoring difference and that will not happen again! I have always use games against weaker to give the chicken exp but now I do less after last season exp).

I think I get it.

Not only is Bibby "tanking" but I suspect he has a pile of scouting points he plans to use at the end of this season and absolutely wants that #1 draft pick to guarantee at least one 5*/5*. And because CrvJeep is doing similarly he is being hands-on enough that he doesn't want to give away a walkover to lose that #1 draft spot while still being worse than everybody else which is a bit of a tightrope.

If that takes an 86 year old PG who had his debut in season 3 and that doesn't have an assist in 6 games plus fouled out of his last 2 games then so be it!

Mid-season movers and shakers!

Who is trending up? Who is tanking? Let the below be your guide! 1st column is average player rating for the team at the end of last season, 2nd column is current, 3rd column is the change. Same as pre-season preview, in order of reverse conference strength THEN.
