My defense & player ratings are pretty impressive too.

I don't get how your OD has gotten that good. I mean, it's always been great, but it feels like it's improved in the ratings over this past season despite none of your guys being trainable. And your enthusiasm is usually always around max in prior seasons too.

I'm so confused as to your teams builds, not sure how you're doing an outside offense with that low salary while still putting up good flow and otherworldly defense.

experience increases?

Stamina training. I don't really have backups, at PG/SG I use three combo guards with very similar skill sets, so by playing blank and training stamina their minutes don't increase, but their performance does.

I don't see how being in first place with the highest PD disqualifies you from being a competitive team... regardless, I hope Bland finds a good new home *cough* other NBBA managers *cough*

Well, I never said we weren't competitive :-) I just said we were falling short on the road. If we can't beat Airballers on a nuetral court...there is no chance of getting an upset win on the road against them, King Drive, Silverbacks, or any quality Big 8 team should we even be fortunate enough to make the finals. There are no points, (or money) for finishing in 2nd place, or lower.

I love my team, but it's obviously not championship caliber...and we aren't getting any younger...my team (players) value will only go down with every passing week from here...and with no promotion bonus to look forward to, or any other significant income stream, staying status quo is only going to put me in a financial bind with a bunch of old farts in a few seasons.

I think it makes more sense to take a step back right now, bank some money, and build with an eye of a long term future, while those decisions are still mine to make and my hand isn't forced because I am receiving bankruptcy warning BB-mails.

Experience is really underrated. Although I don't think it affects D much. I had someone with 14 IS that slowly dropped down to 11 IS, but his 13 or so experience let him still score at almost the same rate.

I could be wrong about the defense, but I remember his rebounding falling way off from the skill drops.

I have a sneaking suspicion that 2-3 zone is slightly bugged, and that it also increases your o-boards.

That must be it. But with lots of stamina training you're kind of forced into playing Blank. If you set your own lineups and do strictly follow or something than the high stamina guys just never sub out.

lorenz and my backup guard get injured tonight. thats 4 total now, half my team!
