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.

Power Rankings Week - IDC
1. Bunny Humpers (12-0)
- Yes..sorry..This teams rank will probably change after matches with War Eagles on Saturday. Let's hope that this team will not get distracted by his cup game and will actually try against War Eagles. Still undefeated by the way -cough- YEAH!! lol.
2. Kittanning Tornadoes (11-1)
- The Tornadoes proved themselves to the world(kinda) by defeating the War Eagles last Tuesday. May also prove that they are better than the Bunny Humpers after getting a 8k SG, which will help them with his amazing outside shooting.
3. War Eagles (11-1)
- Even though his inside attack is amazing, he was stopped last Tuesday by the Tornadoes, which gave them their first lost of the season(!). Hopefully they can regain their ranking after beating the Bunny Humpers this Saturday.
4. The Erie Razors (9-3)
- Those 3 loses were against the big 3 in the league and actually showed some fighting spirit against the game with the Bunny Humpers, however lost some face when the real starters played in the 4th quarter. Still better than Avenal Falcons in my eyes~ Sorry.
5. The Avenal Falcons (9-3)
- Having the same record and higher PD than the number 4 spot, they deserve a higher ranking don't they? No, they actually lost to the Erie Razors, which proves that they should belong below them. Still a very stable team, as his inside D and rebounding ratings are getting higher!
6. Green Mambas (6-6)
- I don't care they are going bot soon. :)

Yeah we'll see. Head to Head will tell a lot, particularly if both teams try (which will probably only happen if War Eagles win on Saturday, putting HCA up for grabs--otherwise the Bunny Humpers really don't have anything at stake). I assume you're not planning to play any starters if you're so sure of a War Eagles victory?

It depends on if I win the cup game or if I don't. If I win and my next matchup for the cup is a very good opponent I will probably not try. But if I lose todays cup game Im going all out to secure my HCA in the playoffs.

Man I am getting my ass beat in this cup game lol, guess I have to improve my team more.

So how exactly am I supposed to deal with BH's respectable outside defense and average perimeter defense (which is not just a result of playing against bot teams to judge by the game against War Eagles), while also slowing down a very strong RnG attack with a lot of my money invested in interior players? On a more positive note, the fans are really filling up the new seats, so the weekly income is high enough that I can afford to keep acquiring good players as they become available. Expect possibly one more move for a top-notch defensive player on the perimeter after the whole team is healthy so we can gauge the impact of Damian Aldridge.

I used RnG because he always uses 2-3 and because his bigs are better than mine, I think. So yeah lol. The Tornadoes' Lorenzo Catapang finally gets his offense going as he goes almost 100% from the field, scoring 28 points.

And you don't have to buy any players...please. LOL

I'm so poor right now that I can't get any new players. And as you can see 21 of their points were from the FT line. My team loves to foul so much...I was getting really pissed watching that game.
