Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! SLOW DOWN!!!!! I'm just trying get a ticket to the dance. I do enjoy the chatter in this league. You guys make it a lot of fun.

idk, new guy seems to put them as best team in the conference

Maybe, we'll see. It'll be some interesting games down the stretch. I think yourself, philly, west side and bucsblue are all players for the cup, and I'll be willing to throw in homeboyz if I see them fare well against some of the top teams. They're a little behind the top teams in terms of team salary, but it's entirely possible his secondaries are better than all the above. We'll see.

Frosty I appreciate the ranking. Its funny as i was reading your insight i never even thought about the first loss to Homeboyz and then our game its NO promise that if Tommy plays i win but there is a way to make an argument that i could be 9-2... UNREAL given the openness of how poor my team is. lol

On a different note dont blame BB for everyone missing on Joe Hilton. he probably showed up to teams that scouted as 19 yrs old 6'10 5 4 star player rating, 3 star potential and A+ rating. So maybe people passed. Maybe no one knew who he was best part frosty is that my first pick was Todd (hes bleeping BRUTAL!) and then at 29th Joe falls me. He had 4 attributes as strong when i got him. But already with training he has had multiple 10.0 rating games already which is rare for 19 yr old. When you're a contender you just always expect to get trash in the draft and just hope to get someone is worth selling for 100k-200k. But you never get anyone worth training and if they are they are never good enough to actually play in D3 games. And somehow the stars lined up and i got a player that i actually can play (minus him fouling so much cuz he's really not ready ready just yet) and worth training.

Overall I like the move by you HomeBoyz. He's young and my guess is most 80k Centers have HUGE inside defense so he will anchor the post. The question is whether his jump shot is any good. Because if it was higher or his handle/passing/driving was above avg BB makes them a PF not a C. Once i see BB label him a center it tells me he lacks a few points in the top 6 categories. But its a great move for sure puts you in the playoff hunt.

I also agree Frosty that on the Great 8 side you want to be 6th seed. 7th seed is gone as walnut will beat them in the series. I will say that the games once we get out of interleague play will be fun as there are legit 5 teams on our side that have "something" to play for and 6 teams on your side maybe 7. So that will be fun.

I am thinking at all star break as i often do with that extra day of no game on tuesday i will give my midseason individual awards and looks. That being top 5 MVP candidates along with an all league team for best player at each position. MVP will have nothing to do with position. Feel free to piggy back it with any other midseason awards for individuals not team.

Also we have 9 Teams still in the cup i believe after all star game we get down to the final 64. It would be awesome if we have 10% of our league still around the final 64! I dont know everyone else matchups. My match up has good post play but my guards should dominate and as long as tommy is healthy by then i will play both Tommy & Pana and i think that is enough to win my cup game.

well... i don't think it's a given that you beat me with tompkins and you playing normal, but i think you become the favorite in that game by at least 5, maybe 7, even if enrici stays healthy all game.

and my cup match is an nbba team so without enrici i really don't stand much of a chance.

Nice job league, to still have 6 teams in the Cup, tops as one of three DIII leagues to have that many teams remaining. I haven't looked at everyone's next games though yet.

Here is the breakdown of DIII leagues and teams remaining:

III.1: 0
III.2: 3
III.3: 1
III.4: 5
III.5: 3
III.6: 5
III.7: 6
III.8: 6
III.9: 1
III.10: 2
III.11: 6
III.12: 3
III.13: 2
III.14: 2
III.15: 0
III.16: 3

well, philly will probably win, bucsblue and walnut are the favorites in their games, and diamantes has a winnable game but are the underdogs. mitsubishi and west side are pretty much screwed, unless west side pulls out some voodoo magic, and they've been known to. if i were to predict it, i'd say 3 teams will remain in the cup after this next game, which i THINK is the round of 64? this round being 128?

well thanks to bucsblue for helping extend my lead for the playoff spot, but i really wish mitsubishi woulda taken down svj.

I'm playing the team that eliminated your squad from the cup. I'll get him for ya. ;)
