Fair points (as always).

I guess the knee-jerk reaction is more of a disappointment that whichever way you want to look at things the most expensive players in the game still win games over so called 'balanced players' yet in reality 99.9% teams cant and wont operate with a $500k + monster for more than 2 weeks. It's definitely something anyone can do, both my opponent and I spent big ahead of our L16 match (slightly different purchases :D) and its not a completely suicidal strategy... (who wouldnt pay $2-3mil more to almost guarantee a trophy?!) so I guess its something that we now have to expect 'might' happen and because of that it may force teams to consider a totally different average weekly wage so that they are always in position to 'keep up with the Jones's' if it happens to them.

The other side-note which goes against the BB ethos is that this game is supposed to be equal irrespective of time spent on it. By allowing last minute transfers, you are giving advantage to those that can spend more time on the transfer list.

In regards to the cost to bring on a 500k player its a net loss in the short term, even walking away with the B3 trophy. The one thing that might rationalize this type of move, and definitely something i would consider, is the fact that once you've won the B3 you get a lifelong ticket to the annual competition.

I never liked that aspect of the B3 and it might provide enough motivation to take the short term risk and cost in adding these unsustainable players for one game or two.

Did Laim forget to set their lineup? 3 scrubs starting, 182k center not even in the lineup (injury?), 50k guard not in the lineup. um?!

I'm afraid I made the mistake to save my lineup for the training game tomorrow for the game today :-/

I was very busy today and arrived at home a few minutes after the game started so I couldn't check it.

Oh what a disaster, I was very sure to win. Shame on me.

Anyway, greetings to Dragones, they had a great B3 season and deserve the title too.

It must have been disappointing enough and he was extremely gracious in his comments... he doesn't need to read this. I have a feeling the BB world will feel his backlash next season.....

I wonder if the BB's can play a behind the scenes rematch with new orders from both teams today and let us know what the outcome would've been?!
