This is going to be a rough season... 5 of the 8 teams in this division have either formerly been in the NBBA or have National Team/U21 coaching experience

Carlos "Don’t touch me" Pastor

Injury! 17 - 34 days
Details: Foot Fractures

that is the longest injury time I have ever seen. Don't touch him is correct. Cause that injury is harsh.

Exactly why I nicknamed him that, made out of glass. The season might be a wash for me, two injuries to key players at the wrong time

I tried, but Silverbacks got a very good team that’s playing some interesting small ball. Seems like we are learning who are the top teams in each conferences after round 6. Going to be interesting to watch if anyone decides to make additions in second half of season to compete.
