Well that's...discouraging. What would your defense like if you were playing normal or worse yet, crunch time??? And your new SF is pretty decent looking. Not entirely sure why they list his best position as SF and not SG, since he has no inside skills worth speaking of. But still, sensational JS and prolific handling/prominent driving makes him dangerous. Why do you say that it was a stupid decision to spend 200K on him? He seems totally worth it. The only question is how he fits into your mostly look inside offense, although I did notice you played RNG in your cup game. Unless you plan to do more of that, though, I don't see how he fits. He'll still be a weapon, though. I would say that I might as well screw my chances of winning this season. How is your defense that freaking good? Your salaries aren't ridiculously high. After the season I'd be really curious to know what kind of defensive ratings your starters had, if you're willing to share.

Man I missed the matches tonight because I went out, but your game with War Eagles looked exciting. As I thought you did beat him in a very close game, nice win!

Yeah I'll admit I underestimated him. His ID rating was much higher this week, as was his rebounding. Also he had HC and my SF who is my leading scorer was in foul trouble the whole game. He played like 5 minutes the first half. So that didn't help. Plus my new C was unable to score the ball effectively. But my new PG had a pretty nice game, and my forwards came on strong at the end of the game. But it was real close. I was really nervous. You're definitely going to win the title this year, barring a miracle.

Wow I had no idea that you guys had so much money...War Eagles gets a new 8K SG for 200K. This will either help his outside shooting to mix up his offense instead of running LP/LI, or will help with passing so the ball can get to his bigs.

We just lost another team, as the lil kings went bot...sooo yeah..

I might lose to War Eagles because of my next cup game, I will have to normal my cup opponent, and TIE War Eagles with low enthusiasm, so yeah..I might lose.

I didn't even notice that you got a new sg and now your salary is actually higher than mine.

Yeah, but your players are ridiculously stronger than their salaries indicate, if their defensive ratings are any indicator and if the example of your new shooting guard is at all representative. And Cliff Pringle is probably a beast by now. But yes, I did add a new shooter who will hopefully score well off the bench against the backups. He's only average OD, but he has prolific JS and proficient JR, and he does add a little rebounding. Hopefully he'll be a solid bench player and when he and Damian Aldridge (whose primary stats you probably know well, lol) return from injury, they'll solidify the SG position. Then by the postseason, my forwards should be pretty decent as well, and we might be able to actually give you a run for the title, or at least go down swinging. Besides, he was only 17K, so it's not costing me much.

My team is weaker than you think, playing only bots is not that impressive, I faced you early in the season, but that was before you became active again. You also shouldn't have told me that the 8k guy's skills.

Green Mambas looks like the next team to go bot as he has not logged in since 8/15

I know it's poor strategy, but I figured that (1) he's a bench player by the time we next face, not a vital cog, and (2) you told me your guy's skills, so I was just returning the favor. In any case, the deciding factor is not going to be the minuscule game-planning advantage you get from knowing that his shooting is better than his defense, since he'll be playing behind Damian Aldridge anyway.
