i don't see how anybody in the USA can beat Tucumcari-- every starter is an exceptional player. i chuckle about how grumpy De Sousa must be, extremely capable, but relegated to playing second fiddle to that unbelievable front line. Ozone has put together an amazing squad. i want to be the first to congratulate him on his back-to-back national championships.

My hat is off to Eugene. He kicked ass, out of the gate, in Season 27 & has been a beast ever since.

thanks for the kind words, but permit me to point out you have been in the playoffs every season but one since you have been in the NBBA, and during that one "off" season you won the Cup. that is a pretty impressive run. however, ominously, notice that Tucumcari and High Point have more or less followed the same path -- start off well, and get better.

i don't know much about the history of the NBBA before my time, but i do see a trend -- and if that is the case, then we can look forward to at least one scary team next season joining us (the team that kicked me out of the Cup, the Golden Horde, is my nomination).

btw, i looked at your tactical choices in your finals game against the Whalers and thought your coaching staff had consumed too much medical cannabis. but then i faced the reality of playing Ozone's squad and understood that if i play his squad on a level battlefield with standard tactics, the results would be an Omdurman. i really think only Father Time can defeat the Whalers.

Thx for the kind words - right back at you.

Offensively, it was either R&G or LI, as I had to play up tempo & hope for foul outs &/or injuries (plus, I was almost certainly going to be playing from behind). Defensively, I'm searching for something that might be effective vs. Tucumcari: earlier in the season, I tried a 3-2 & that didn't work very well. Obviously, M2M was a good alternative, but I thought Inside Box & 1 just might work (I have no faith in the 2-3). I don't know what you mean by "standard tactics" - balanced offense? That would certainly be a disaster ...

I don't know if Father Time will do the trick. Tucumcari is just a really, really good manager. His team looks weird - nothing but PFs & PGs, but he makes it work. He's got a secret - or perhaps its the fact that his team salary is so high ...

To me, Tucumcari's success is reminiscent of Bullish Mentality & Arizona Desert Storm ... and they only got worse on purpose ...

Uh oh. The old "wait for the backups to come in for the 4th quarter and mount a furious comeback" strategy I guess. Well played. *-:)

congratulations, Ozone. a very impressive season -- Cup and National title.

but that fourth period is a black stain that will always haunt your accomplishment.
