Don't be so quick to give up. Second half you guys made a huge rebound (pun not intended) and actually got more points than my team did for the half. I doubt I could replicate the success of the first l, and you played normal anyways. With my gameshape and enthusiasm going down next week, I forsee a close third game.

To Ohmers: The second half of the game can be reasonably described as "garbage time." And by the 4th, neither team was probably taking it seriously. You're probably training Game Shape, so it won't go down. Granted, his enthusiasm may be higher than yours, but you may have Mandic back. And across the board "average" ratings...extremely impressive for a D-5 team. I predict another win for you.

To Muggles: You might not want to run Full Court Press against the Ohmers. They have an "average" offensive flow rating. That's pretty high, even for some D-4 teams. They're not going to turn the ball over enough to make up for the decreased defense and decreased stamina in Full Court Press. You notice that in your last game, the two of you split turnovers pretty evenly. You might want to try Man to Man against him. What have you got to lose? You also got severely out-rebounded, so you might want to try 2-3 zone to remedy that and contain Richard Cooke. However, 2-3 could create bad mismatches, allowing someone like Mandic to dominate, assuming he comes back. Do what you will, but I don't advice Full Court Press. That defense only works against teams with bad Offensive Flow.

I also concurr with Blujay. FCP can back fire. I'd make it man to man. You prop wont get slaughtered on the boards 2 times in a row..Cmon, Nasese, we want 3 games. Beat Ohmers and make this thing more competitve. You have the studs.

Ohmers, Joule, absolutely nothing against you. You've been a class team/manager. I just want to see a competitive championship. So dont hate on me for firing up Muggles. Besides, you guys are raking in the cash anyway.

I just cut 3 players and trimmed my payroll 35%. Im down to 6 and plan on lokking at another hot PG and a decent center at a lower salary. Gotta get back to making money every week. Good luck guys.

Good luck tonight....This should be a good one.

Good luck tonight Joule.....maybe Muggles makes a series out of this.

Nice win to tie the series......Princeton offense. Great choice. Hard to defend at times. For someone like Ohmers im sure they can bounce back against it....but nevertheless you got the W. Great game guys.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I think Princeton might actually beat my team. His ratings were just completely better than mine too, so we'll see.

I think you've got the next game. You're playing at home, and your enthusiasm will be better since you PON while Muggles PCT. However, it will be a close one. The Muggles defense is stifling when playing Man to Man. Wow.
I see Mandic didn't get as high of a game shape as you hoped. Our good friend, Lone Wolves United, got him fouled out in that scrimmage with only 34 minutes of playing time. Such a shame.
But anyway, the home court advantage is extremely important. I'm sure that will be the factor that decides the next game in your favor.

Yeah, but I'm more worried about his offense; my players did little to stop that onslaught of twos and threes today. lol and yeah, LWU sincerely apologized afterward for putting his 11 OD defender against Mandic. Oh well, at least he's back.

What in the hell? 11 OD? None of his guards look like they have the salary to have 11 OD. Unless he completely neglects offensive stats. In which case he's completely the opposite of me. My highest OD is only 9, on Spoonmore. My scrimmage against him should be very interesting, then. I have to figure out which of his players has the 11 OD, and set Spoonmore in a position not of that player. Simple. In theory.
Anyway, good luck in the final finals game.

Good luck for tonight Joule. Should be a good game either way. Let's hope my GS holds up hahahaha. Glad I've achieved the goal of taking you to 3. i think the home game advantage will be key.
