I probably switched my lineup a dozen times throughout the day, so I am glad I stuck with the zone and reverse patient. I agree that the GS looked miserable for me, and I am surprised I could pull through even with the garbage GS. You clearly managed minutes better, I think every single one of your guys was at 9? Impressive.

Edit: Also, I like the idea of going LP to avoid the double guess, which worked, but I wonder if the slow pace of that offense against my 3-2 is what made it so hard for your team to score. I've found that if you are going LP instead of LI that you are making a bet on your passing game, which I think is hard for a lot of teams in today's meta. With Bales at PG I have had some success with slow tactics, but usually I think they get eaten up by teams with high OD.

I think that's a good analysis of the game as a whole. I'm looking to make some lineup changes for next season that should make my roster a bit more versatile. I noticed your flow was significantly better than mine even given your GS. So there for sure is a PA disparity that helped you out throughout the series.

But hey, there will be 2 solid USA teams going into B3 competition next season so hopefully you and I can get a few wins for the USA here.

Man thank goodness that 'Lebron Slams Up' team is gone. Was tired of facing them.

Who's this Atelier guy?

I never liked that team name anyways. I support this rebrand.

The team name was a meme from the team name that I made when I made my first BB account at 13 years old in season 15, "Lebron Slams Down". So when I rejoined I called it Lebron Slams Up so that I could reconnect with a bunch of the older players still around.

But now everyone knows me and I know everyone and the names served its purpose and deserved the rebrand.

Trust me I didn't like it much either, best 100k I've spent yet.
