Lathrop, thanks for the CT in a game that meant nothing to you. Win or lose, I'll remember it if we meet again.

I would've done the same thing. It was the last game of the season ... and meaningless - why not give everything you have and try to end on a positive note ?? He owed it to the Technical Foul fans ...

I think the better question is why would he give everything he has? The value of winning that game for him was zero, but by going out of his way to to take a game that actually matters to me, he made an enemy of me. I guess what I'm saying is that it's nice to have an unspoken agreement that if a game is meaningless to team A and important to team B, team A isn't going to go out of their way to screw over team B. I see that I don't have that with Tech Fouls and I'll remember it, hence my post.

I love when guys are so adamant about how others should run their own teams. Lol

He can run his team as he pleases. And in general I agree with you that there's too much complaining in the forums about CTs, etc. In this case I think it's justified as there was absolutely nothing to be gained for him by winning this game. But as you point out, he can run his team how he wants, and I'll respond in kind.

You make the playoffs regardless of the outcome, and either way you will have to go through Bullish Mentality to win...not sure what the big deal is...

I'm guessing most of you are too cliquish to admit to it, but I'd be very surprised if you didn't all have the same reaction if I CTed you under similar circumstances. Or, for a more extreme example, if one of the tanking teams suddenly bought 5 good players and CTed you, then went back to tanking against everybody else, I think you'd be rightfully upset. Obviously that's a more extreme example, but it's the same idea - a team acting in a way that hurts another team when they have no motivation for doing so.

You should have quit this argument while you were behind...now you just sound like a total douche bag. Listen to yourself...you are actually whining because a guy chose to beat you...and the basis of your complaint sounds like you think he owes you something...like he's supposed to pause, and say to himself "Well, I could get one last bit of enjoyment in this crappy injury riddled season and try to get a win against a great team....but wait, if I do that, I might hurt his feelings...I might deprive him of a win that he feels he's entitled to...after all, I am a lowly 8th seeded team on my way back to D2, clearly I owe this guy something...he deserves the win".....

Whatever dude...get over yourself....You aren't entitled to anything! This is a competitive sports game...who the heck are you to question a guys motives for trying for the win, especially when doing so is 100% within the rules.
