You fell in there! Nice. Did you expect TB to go CT on you? That's a good win tho'.
Good that he went CT too - as I have him next Tuesday...

Watched the end of the Fighters/Otaku game - damn, what a finish! Seems those boys ALWAYS have a fight on their hands...
O... and as I type: IT'S GONE TO OT!!! Sheesh... and WHAT an OT!! Tighter than a fish's butthole! Right down to the final seconds, and stupid move by Tellez going for the 3 when 2 pts down. Game over, Otaku wins by 4. mikelm's gotta be BLEEDING on this one.

Well that was a very lucky win and maybe makes up for the week before.

He has some great players and if I survived a CT vs TIE at his arena while making my 2nd string trainees play 48+ minutes at both PG and SG and I still won? Makes me feel a lot better about my team.

Look at the top 4 in the Great 8, probably all 4 of us are better than the 2nd best in the Big 8. While we will have a tough road this season I think this could be the time, and one of us will make it to the JBBL next season.

If you are like me and already have a big bank balance and are making a lot every week (Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 192 354) then there will be a few more moves before this season is finished.

So far this season for me:
Week 1 beat Otaku at home by 11.
Week 2 lost to NKRK in OT at home but with less effort.
Week 3 beat Terry Bogard away and CT v TIE.

Next week I have the Fighters and the one after しい (who have 4 of their top 5 players in inept GS so will be crashing down very soon), those games will tell me a lot.

I have a little squirreled away. And in a few weeks (2-3?) I'll look at making a small acquisition (well, I'll dump a player as well). Not sure it will do much for my team, but I'm fine with this season not being a move to the JBBL. We'll see.


I have Shikoku up tonight - in his arena, pretty sure I'm just going to go TIE and focus on TB. But... who knows?

About an hour before, I changed my mind - went with Normal. (36548840)
Nice result, I went to dinner after the first quarter, and things weren't looking so hot... but my guards had a pretty good game, and I fell in. Lucky I guess.

Well I threw everything at the Fighters and still lost by 16. Their only loss was by 4 in overtime away against Otaku. I think they are looking very strong. You only lost to them by 5 as well. All so close. I think all four top teams on our side are looking very strong but whoever emerges as the top in the Big8 will have a much easier run and be able to TIE all the way to the finals.

Fighters Normal'd to my TIE, and my PG went down to a game-long-injury (thankfully not longer!) in the first quarter. I think I'm a not-so-hot match-up for him, but it's interesting: I think for the top 4 teams, it's bit of a coin flip on any given night who's stronger.
It's a pity the Big 8's substantially weaker, but I'm not sure they can TIE all the way to the Finals. Because by my reckoning, they are ALL quite a bit weaker - which makes it equally as difficult. If someone steps it up a bit, then they may be able to coast.

Still... if I promote this season? Fine. If I don't, that's fine too. I'm happy with what I'm doing.

Well damnit.
Four of us Great 8ers still in the cup. Shikoku, Sapporo & Kyoto pull bots. Me? I get a boosted Fumoffu.

I am too happy because this week I can play all of my 3 match TIE and so we can deal the next week that will be hard: I will play against the first of the East Conference away and probably against a very difficult team in the cup (There won't be more BOTS)

Malice, You are doing a very great season. I think you are now in the top 3 team of our conference (Shikoku, you and me), any doubt. There will be another difficult season for me. Good job, and good luck for everyone.

I feel a little dishonored by this. NKRK only beat me in OT and put more effort into the game than me. I beat Shikoku Otaku by 11. I had 1 bad game for the season so far and that was against you. I would agree if you said you were the strongest team this season but how am I in a different category from NKRK and Shikoku Otaku?

Tonight's games showed the significant difference between the Big 8 and the Great 8.
#3 Kyoto defeats #1 楽しい 108-85 (both playing same level - Normal?)
#4 Shikoku destroys #4 Zenigata 119-68 (both playing same level - Normal?)
#2 NKRK defeats #2 aisteru 85-71 (NKRK playing TIE, aisteru on Normal)

Sapporo and Baikinman had non-matches against significantly weaker opponents. He has tougher games coming up, with 3 of the next four being harder opponents (Terry Bogard, Shikoku Otaku & NKRK). I see him winning 1-4 games over the next two weeks.

From my perspective, it's a pity Sapporo, Shikoku, Kyoto & my Northern Kyushu are all in the same conference.
