Game#2

Foes@Seattle

Kinda like a trap game for us.
I got no history on this team, except for one game.
Hopefully we can take away their SF, if we can control him, we might be able to sneak away with the W.

Plus our starters, have to stay out of foul trouble. If we can't do that, were beat. We don't have enough depth to over come that this season. That goes for the whole season. And other teams know that too, im sure.

Prediction:
Foes93
Swish 87


Glad we got the win in the season opener. But we have to clean up our defense. We gave up like 72 points by halftime!! Can't win many games playing like that

>>> Tuesday's games should prove interesting as there are 3 games all with undefeated teams.... looking forward to see how things shake out.... Cyborgs have a tough game against their rival the Shlubs on the road, a little to early for the Cyborgs to take on a quality rival opponent, was hoping this game wouldn't happen till at least game 5. At least by then I could have a better feel for this League, plus get a better feel as to how our rival plays...

Good Luck to all on Thursday's Cup Games..... hope everyone wins their games....

We now have 3 bot teams in the Big 8 (Denver Rockies). Miami who hasn't logged on since 12/31 might be the next bot in the great 8.

Cybrog vs Shlubs should be a interesting match up. Shlubs do not wanna fall to 0-2 early in the season. Although we did last season and managed to get the #1 seed. But its definitely not the route you wanna take.

Reporter: You fell behind early for the 2nd conservative time, and things didn't seem to change in the 2nd quater. What happened?

"The ball wouldn't go through the rim, and we flat out sucked on the defensive side of the ball...again.

Next game:
Denver 0-2@Foes 1-1

Injury report: Romeu will sit out, due to back stiffness, Eike will miss the next few games due to "personal" reasons.

I think Cyborgs just solidified himself as the team to beat on this side with that win over Shlubs. I probably would've made a different prediction had I looked at that payroll.

Also Darren really let em' fly for me against Miami. Good start to the season for me, although I have yet to play the tough teams.

>>>> Still have 5 undefeated teams left.... Shlubs made me very nervous in the 1st half.... Cyborgs did not really have good ratings, a tell that the Shlubs have a good team... I think tonight's Cyborgs win was due to my old timers Experience, especially in the 3rd quarter but in the 4th quarter the Shlubs posted a nice rally and gave the Cyborgs Management something to think about moving forward... Definitely have to keep an eye on the skill drops of my old guys, this could definitely hurt us late in the season, especially since my Trainees are not really playing that well at all...
Good Luck to everyone on Thursday... let's all get Cups wins....

Just curious, what position(s) do you guys train? Do you always train that way, or do you switch plans if you get your hands on a more desirable trainee? Do you train to keep, sell, or both?

I myself, train guards by starting with one position training, then switch to two position until my main trainee is maxed out. I'm probably going to stick to training guards and buy my frontcourt.

Well when i still had a trainer, I always trained em for two positions, and stayed with that for three to five weeks, before changing it up. I would try to train the whole team too, not just a few players. Although that didn't always happen.

My starting 5 besides my C can play all positions. Khan is half way there, but his progress has slowed down, obviously without a trainer.
To answer your other question, we would sell em if we were deep in that position (3 max per position) just incase of an injury.

This season for us, its just throwing backups in, and hoping they have a good game, because there's no training going on, besides, stigma, and free throw shooting, so there's no chance for them to improve.

Romeu hasn't been the same player for us, only scoring 13 total points in two games i think. And he's takens less shots, in a season we need him to shoot more.
Its been a tough start to the season, were lucky to be 1-1. It's early tho, no need to panic yet. We got off to a slow start last season too. Were not a good, early season team, but we seem to turn things around late in the season, for whatever reason

>>> I train Small Forwards... it is a long process, especially trying to plan training around winning games... I have 2 trainees that I train 1 position 95% of the time, rotating the training positions each week to create a balance of outside and inside skills... a lot of stressful work but fun at the same time....

Nice to see Miami, still active.
Last time i checked they haven't been active since 12/31/17 so i was thinking they were about to go bot.
Plus, their in the mix. Makes things more interesting and also alot more fun, when they're more than 4 teams in the mix per division. Especially during a 22 game season and the only thing your playing for is, the seed you get.
So, congrats to Miami for sticking it out, we need more coaches like him.

Where were win NOT one, not two,not three, not four, not five championships....(puts hand over mic. and whispers to Wade..."Psh, the second we lose, in the finals to SA, i'm bailing and taken my ass back home to Cleveland.

Jump ahead years later: Wade Joins James in Cleveland, and sadly this story ends the same way it did in Miami. Can Wade and James turn around their unfortunate luck and become NBA champions once more???
