You can laugh all you want at how weak we are (which we are) but I'm sitting here laughing at you while raking in the cash. Perfect place to develop my players, expand my arena, and gain experience all while fattening my bank account.

no1s laughing at the your league and infact a lot of us would like to be in a league like that... in my league we easily have top 4 of 10-20 top div III teams so it sucks compared to yours... the whole point is that the league ur in is just a bit weaker then then the others

That's great man, good luck with that.

I definintely agree with you that your conference is probably the strongest div III conference in Canada right now.

Fundamentally Sound(33492): Owner of the one and only Denny Hall(18665337) as well as having an extremely dangerous starting lineup and Curtis Worley(19313993), possibly the next Glenn Richards for the U21 team and the monster big man that Canadas NT so desperately needs. Coach Coach is also a great manager with a great understanding of the game and its tactics along with the importance of enthusiasm and gameshape.

Iqlaluit Test Icicles(25029): A game behind Fundamentally Sound for the conference lead, does not neccessarily have the deepest team in this conference, but has some stars and knows how to utilize them and what tactics to use them in. A good starting lineup has carried this team all season. An injury or two could be devastating.

Sony Rox ur Sox(33144): (38947038) that is enough said about this team. The Underdogs, the team that knocked off the most dominant Canadian team in recent history. In all seriousness Sony Rox ur Sox has a fairly deep team and they seem to understand how important gameshape can be, they were finalists last season and had the best record in the league at 20-2. Fear this team, they could easily forget to set a lineup and beat you ;)

Haaa(33272): With the most lethal starting lineup in this conference, they can always be dangerous, but with their lack of depth, an injury really hurts and can the starters really perform playing 48 minutes every game?

Another div III league stands out in my mind and their managers have been real quiet, but division III.15 is a fairly strong league and it contains two Canadian U21 players and a Norway U21 player. My top 4 from this league I think could all compete up a division:

Haylors(25047): undefeated, it is their league to lose.

Bare Bottoms(33368): 4th in the Big 8, but looking at their roster they are a good guard or two from competing Haylors for the league championship. Own Canada U21s current star big man David Castro(16416234) and 20 year old Norway U21 big man Fabian Lidden(18151650).

Canadian Ballers(33464): Leading Great 8, with a strong deep roster, however being ravaged by injuries at the moment.

Sock Pants(33380): Owner of Canada U21 guard Anton Rickard(16416588) and won this conference last season and played in the finals last season as well. They are currently 4th, but definitetly have a strong team and a good guard or big man could put them over the top as a top competitor with Haylors.

I find Division III, the most thrilling and exciting division to follow, because I think it can boast some of the best competition and some really great managers just on the edge of greatness. I find division III the most interesting to talk about as well and am really thinking of starting like a division III thread each year where I can discuss the favourites for div III. :P

you get a +1 for that ;)

Please do this. I would love some D3 managers to be more active. Hell, I would just like some more activity in general.

Word up fellow D3ers. Pangaa... you suck.

Edit: I thought I'd throw in something constructive. Fundamentally Sound took it easy on me during our league match, so his only weakness is the kindness is his heart. Me and Pangaa are duking it out to see whole will get our asses handed to us in a 3 games series but one of the elite teams in the Big 8. Pretty interesting division.

Well tonight in III.9 Fundamentally Sound(33492) faced off with Haaa(33272) in the first vs fourth matchup of the playoff series for the Big 8(39175206). Coach Coach and Fundamentally Sound came out on top, fairly comfortably in a game where both squads used the same effort. Fundamentally Sounds's HCA was obviously a factor, but they were also clearly the better team on the night, as they had better PP100 at each position and had clearly the better ratings. They also played a 2-3 zone which seemed to work in slowing down Haaas main inside threats in Danilo Pangov(15024406) and Choi Siu Yin(14987542). Meanwhile, Fundamentally Sound was lead by young Canadian Star Curtis Worley(19313993) who had 23 points and 14 rebounds, Michelangelo Pisu(6202631) was not able to score very well, but made up for it by nearly posting a triple double, 9 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds were a part of his phenomenal game.

In the other matchup we saw Iqaluit Test Icicles(25029) face off with Sony Rox ur Sox(33144). The cinderalla team that was Sony Rox ur Sox fell 125-118 on the road to Iqaluit Test Icicles. Both teams used the same effort level, but Iqaluit Test Icicles look inside attack was too much for Sony Rox ur Sox and their man to man defense. Iqaluit Test Icicles two starting big men, Henryk Zalinski(12204950) and Adamantios Kiousis(11976714), were nearly unstoppable with a combined 68 points on 29-40 shooting to absolutely take over the game.

So Fundamentally Sound vs Iqaluit Test Icicles in the semis who will represent the Big 8 in the finals and inevitably win the league? Who knows?

I figured I would start my division III writeups now and ill continue next season, but division III teams need more of a spotlight and this is the perfect way! :)
