For the record, team training is still training. Look at the bright side, finishing in 5th is like having an excuse to finally get some bonus free throw training, which, let's face it, it's like flossing. We all know we need to do it since it's good for us and could mean the difference between saving a few teeth or losing them, but it's not the most glamorous thing to do so we put it off and pluck our eyebrows instead. Well, I don't pluck my eyebrows, which may be why I still have awful eyebrows after all this time, but I floss my teeth and that's won a game or two for me in the charisma game. You get my point. 5th place isn't all that bad with training, and the lost income is small enough that it counters the anxiety over having to play a relegation series, since all the heartburn can cost you in Tums money and co-pays to a gastroenterologist.
