Hey hows it going mate?

you seem like a fairly experienced manager so I want to get an honest opinion.

do you think im a chance in the playoffs against this team? after comparing it to mine?

http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/38677/overview.aspx

i mean i would need to win through to the grand final, which i am 99% sure i will, and he is likely to be my opponent

although i finished on a 22-0 record, i wont obtain auto promotion if i dont win :(

Hello again, Roozer. Firstly, there are others far more experienced than myself but I'm happy to give you my opinion.
I just had a quick look at both your teams and will say this:
1. I think you've got him covered fine in terms of matchs up;
2. He has played PTB (push the ball) almost every game (well the eight or so I looked at were all PTB) which, given his relative success, shows he matches up well against teams. No surprises there as his team is fairly good except he has a hole at the C position. However, his rookie, 19 yr old Jolly is a terrific C and will be a candidate for U21 selection I would guess from what I can see. So, while he has no monster C like yourself, Jolly is good. His PF, Raykundalia (47K) is decent too;
3. You have varied your tactics, playing RnG one week, LI the next. You can because you have the players to do so. I must admit that despite your strengths in bigs ($173k Murulauk etc) you have great success runinng RnG tactics;
4. Given your last meeting with this guy (which you had a good win) I would again exploit his weakness (bigs) which is a strength for you as your guards seeme to handle his well;
5. If you meet in the Final series (which looks likely) you will have HCA! A huge plus.

I have two concerns:

1. Enthusiasm. While I didn't check all of yours and his games to try and decipher how you two compare here I noticed that you (top of the ladder) CTed Tate's All Stars not that long ago (which he TIEd) and you only just beat him. This worries me. It tells me that your enthusiasm is down or that Tate's All Stars just happened to TIE lots of games and it was high when the two of you met. You will have a better insight into that I'm sure. If you are confident your enthusiasm will be fine then all will be well...however, this leads me into the second concer;
2. Your side of the Division seems to be harder hence you will have a harder run perhaps than Corio... However, again, without really examining the other teams I can't be sure of this.

Final words:
Given that your enthusiasm isn't bad and you can make your way to the final with some ease, and that your direct opposite doesn't get too easy a run to the final, I'm confident that you will win the series. Of course, I'm not going to suggest what tactics to play but you will have the added bonus of having HCA. I don't know if any of what I have said helps but there it is.

hey mate, many thanks for the response.

my enthusiasm is only 6 going into the first playoff game, which i know is really low.

i think the flaw with the other team is that he plays a 2-3 zone every game, which would open up nicely for me if i play run and gun

home court might just save me if i can get through to the final by playing playoff normal.

lets see how we go hey, and good luck with your team

cheers

Good luck, I hope for your sake 6 will get it done for you the next couple of weeks. suggest you put training to the side and help your teams enthusiasm deficiency by training Game Shape..

@Matty, I did notice you had sold your bigs and I wasn't expecting CT, caught by surprise whilst varying my tactics! lol
Agreed about your guards, if I am still here next season I will enjoy that match up.

Good luck to all teams in the finals, obviously I hope that I go the furthest but best of luck anyway :)

Well, good luck to all those in the finals...

...I'm looking forward (as a spectator) to see how things pan out...



@ XBB, I'm trying to understand what you're up to. Either you stuffed up and forgot to buy someone to help you get through the relegation series (which I'm certain you will now lose) or you don't want to be in Div III.3 anymore and are looking to go back to Div IV to make money before returning to DIv III and then, I would guess, Div II...?

Dude I think you give him too much credit.. Simple in my book, not enough time or care for BB and as a result everything from his end is half assed... Would be happy to be proven wrong but I doubt it..

Yeah, you could be right. Either way he's headed for Div IV! I know of blokes dropping back a Div or two to make money but I think you're right...he just doesn't give a shit...real shame...

Well, 2 great SFs tonight. While I honestly didn't think either the Glenvale Cheaters or the Cheltenham Bombs would win through (sorry guys) I was eager to see whether or not either the Vikings or the CROCKERS would take a chance and play PlayoffNORMAL. Well, it happened and now the GF series will be very interesting. Good luck to both of you...
