Just a few observations...

I can't remember the last time I've had a team that lost 4 straight, and that just happened yesterday. Heck, I don't remember the last time I lost 4 games in a season.

I've never had 2 scorers among the league leaders, and I've always had at least 1 rebounder. This season, I have 2 scorers (so far) and no rebounders.

Rarely have I played guys 30 minutes a game, because we were deep and others weren't. I could literally (and have) plan lineups strictly based on who needs how much time to meet their training needs. I've had weeks in a row where my starting 5 would be the best bench in the league because the backups were better than the other teams starters, and that's if I allowed them to be the bench.

If this is what it's like to be in a competitive league, I like it! For the last number of seasons, it was assumed (and rightly so) that the league finals would be whomever got relegated from D3 to the D4 league I was in, and me. Now, I'm in a league where I can accurately measure where I stand. We've got work to do; we are not competitive by my measure. 2 scorers and no rebounders? That's upside down to me, and definitely not balanced. Time to get to work!

Better than no scorers and two rebounders... I think it speaks volumes about my team's ability to shoot... less than about my team's ability to scoop up the rebound. heh

I think I may have the most uniquely terrible team in all of my 29 seasons playing. We have multiple guys that I think a lot of teams could use, but put them all together on one team and it's a s**t show. I'm even training guys that will make it even more of a s**t show.

I'm used to the rebounders and no scorers. I'd prefer that if it meant what I was accustomed to stat-wise:
a minimum of 3 guys averaging 9 rebounds a game (and sometimes more) with 2 among the league leaders in rebounding, and no one among the league leaders in scoring but anywhere from 6 to 8 guys averaging double figures. We are not even close to that, but as I stated, haven't been in a competitive league for a while.
