Don't worry! You're just the man to sow some existential doubt in his mind, and when he can't convince himself of what his sense organs are reporting, he'll surely forfeit!

Yea the margin was surprising, but I think you have the better team. Maybe need to rethink the idea of building an offense that relies solely on 2 players. My 20 RB guy only got 5 RBs in 30 mins and fouled out, that was rough. Good luck in the final four

i had been eyeing a big upgrade at SG, figured that was the only way id have a chance. didnt find the right player and was happy to take a shot, lose and then focus on the playoffs.

sure enough, my SG has a great game considering how overmatched he was salarywise and we pulled a big win.

#14 King Drive Ballers (II.4) vs #38 Imperial Phantoms (II.4)

One thing we know for sure, a Division II team will play in the USA Cup Championship game. The last time that happened was Season 13, when the Division II Grim Koalas made it all the way to the finals, before falling to...brian and the King Drive Ballers. Now brian is back in the Final Four for the first time since that championship. Starring future USA NT stars Laverne Goddard (16437910) and Nemesio Xermade (14597229), this version of KDB is poised to make a run at a record 7th USA Cup! To get here brian defeated the NBBA's AirBallers in the Elite 8 convincingly, 107-93 (42308553), but those guys suck.

Now he'll have to face a legitimate opponent in Azariah and the #38 Imperial Phantoms. To reach the Final Four Azariah had to sink Failboat and the Failboat in the Elite 8 (42308551). The Phantoms are led by USA U21 standout Charles Parsons (17741471), who also starts at Forward for the Houston Rockets (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore;_ylt=Amxy.jwNnea08FC...).

II.4 bragging rights again on the line, 2 teams enter, one team moves on to the final! Will it be brian and the KDB (probably)? Or will it be Azariah and the Phantoms (I'm guessing no, sorry Az)? Find out Thursday, 8pm Eastern!!!

I like how Parsons decides to change race when he's playing for the rockets, haha.

#2 Silverbacks (NBBA) vs. #4 Milwaukee Lethargy (NBBA)

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get serious. The Final Four is now upon us, and this will be a stellar matchup to say the least. Two NBBA teams, fighting for the throne. Who will come out victorious? Let's take a look:

Managed by season 14 and 15 cup champion, SM and the Silverbacks (23223) have managed to make their way back to the Final Four, after a heartbreaking loss the previous season in the Sweet 16 to wozzvt and the Burlington Mountain Goats. So far, SM has gone ape shit (hehe) on almost all of his opponents, causing some to question why they even attempted to beat him. Perhaps even more impressive was the Silverbacks victory in the Elite Eight last week against the defending champion Coco. The Silverbacks were able to pull off an impressive 92-79 win against the defending champs, suggesting that they aren't stopping until they once again become the King Kong of the cup. One thing is for sure, the Silverbacks are tired of eating bananas, and are hungry for another gold trophy.

It won't be a breeze for him though, because SM will have to go through the impressive Milwaukee Lethargy, and their manager shikago (23424) if they want to win. Although their name may imply this, the Lethargy have shown no lack of energy throughout this process, and it sure has payed off for them. Promoting to the NBBA from II.3, shikago has taken his team (comprised mostly of geezers) who had only ever reached the final 64 of the cup, and led them to their first Final Four. He is even making a statement in the NBBA, where he is currently sitting in fourth place of the competitive Great 8 conference. One thing's for sure, shikago has a more experienced team then anyone out there, and although those 40+ year olds may be a bit lethargic at times, he has the talent to back them up. Should be a good one!

Game takes place Thursday 8PM Eastern, you won't want to miss it!
