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 ...

you're up by 31 at halftime, and probably think you are going to win, but in reality you have fallen into my trap and i have got you exactly where i want you!

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. *-:)

Haha, yeah, the 4th quarter was a little stressful for me. I guess I shouldn't have even dressed some of my lesser players, but I couldn't escape the idea that there would be an injury or a foul out or something and I'd rather have them in than lucky fans. It would be nice to have a setting where you can control what your coach does in garbage time, so you can dress scrubs just in case they're needed, but still leave the starters in during garbage time.

This makes us 1-1 in NBBA finals series ... here's hoping we play at least one more to break the tie! (party)

So just to point out how much depth the Big 8 had this season:

-The team with the unanimous league MVP didn't make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
-The #5 seed had a 900k payroll as of the last update on buzzermanager (I'm ignoring his recent sales because my point works better this way!)
-The #7 seed was +173 in PD.
... and Tucumcari breezed through anyway, only losing a couple games towards the end because he either had to punt in order to win the other USA trophy or just wanted to give the illusion of being mortal...

May God have mercy on the soul of whoever takes Anchorage's spot over there in S31.

We have enough D2.3 alumni here, please don't bring another into this side of the league haha Tucumcari took me down in the playoffs, and I had to face off twice against Pappy...the rivalries will continue if Paps joins the Big 8. Congrats to Ozone, job well done.
