Great game Digler. I underestimated you and almost paid for it. Your 2-3 zone neutralized Englebert really well, and kept the rebounding margin reasonable. And your bench guys really didn't kill you. The score isn't evident of how close it was. With 4 minutes left, I really didn't think I was going to pull it out.

Alright Dino! Here we go!

Also entertaining last night was Eugene Smith going off for 72 points, and shooting a respectable percentage.

Really funny that he shot 56 times and had ZERO assists. I know that's the game plan, just funny.

It was a great move and your reinforcement will also help you to minimize my SGs' effort.
It is not an excuse but I really feel bad that the injuries just like plaques spraying to my team during the whole season. And, the worst time comes now....

Now the key point is the output of SFs from both side. Good luck and I am looking forward to meet your team again.

Your team's depth is a big concern of mine. Your starting 5 is only $3,000 more than mine, but your bench kills me. Any injuries or foul trouble on my end and I'll be in big trouble.

I think it should be a great game. I'm the underdog for sure, but I still think I have a chance.

I didn't think I had a chance. Had to go all out and play 2-3 zone. Much closer than I thought it would be.

With my parred down roster I was hoping to maybe get two playoff games. Now I need to figure out what to do with my team.

I will not underestimate your team as you already demonstrated everything for the entire season.
My best small just recovered from injury and has a terrible shape at 6 and my 6th man who can play 5 positions is out.
You definitely have a very high chance to beat me especially if you catch the tactics I will use.

I do feel bad about the injuries... But they have evened the playing field a tad haha. The game shape update tomorrow will be very interesting and probably go a long way in determining the outcome Saturday.

especially if you catch the tactics I will use.

Hmm. This is interesting. I have gone back forth with what offense you may run... This confuses me even further haha.

That's why I said it is not an excuse and that's why I use a 11-men rotation. Thunders was out just simply because Westbrook was done and Bulls might still in the playoffs if Rose was not injured. It is a part of the game.

So do what we can do and enjoy the competition.

Yes. Eugene Smith played like Kobe "82" Bryant.
If he can prevent early foul trouble in the future (he defended my 22K backup guard in the last game mostly), this might work very well next season.

Agree. If you can find three $30-40K good starters and three good reserves, it would be very nice.
A friendly reminder, you only can play your excellent players for ~37 min per game. Patient will highly increase the playing time for your starters so it is not so easy to manage the game shapes when you are not able to crash your opponents in the first third quarters. BB engine will not trust those reserves who do not have good abilities and will try to keep Eugene stay on the court for 40+ min.
