Obviously if I had anticipated Rambo keeping it so close, I'd have made a different play.

In any case, even if I relegate, it's not too bad. I have lost some of my mojo and motivation anyway.


I can't imagine you losing that series and Relegating...I would bet money you are safe unless you tanked it on purpose.

good luck for the playoffs.

I was originally planning to do the same thing as liberty and AZ i.e. sell everyone off.

But I figured I need to do the right thing and field the full team against KDB on thusday, despite the fact that I know I am going to get smacked around. What was it that Mark Cuban said on shark tank - "making money is easy, doing the right thing is not". If only he played BB.

I'm in perfect position to make good on my "first to 3 silvers - no golds" threat from last season

Just realized I sacked my staff a month ago when I'd had a few too many. Training JS and ID has been incredible inefficient recently.... sh*t....

thanks!

was tight through the first half then opened up in the third. for whatever reason Balan didn't have much of a game at PF which helped. rocket's SF, trivellin, has to be the dollar for dollar best SF in the league. whatever the skills, he's a lot of value for under 23k per week. congrats on the great cup run rocket!

looked pretty dire for me a few weeks ago when I hit all that injury trouble head on with cup games against silverbacks and ambitious. timed a couple purchases perfectly. i had been tracking alderete and troia for more than a season. the latter hadn't been on the list in awhile too.

nice to get back to training this week, and back to the B3 next season.

congrats, Brian! :) Have to ask - I noticed your team is able to consistently draw fouls very successfully. Based on your experience, do you think high driving/handling has helped in this?

I was quite happy that at least the first half was competitive. And very happy to get that silver. Probably the best cup I may get in my BB career. :)

my man Trivellin is my best all-round defender - and definitely one of my best buys ever. Unfortunately, I am sad to say I did not do him enough justice as I gave up on training him to try to stay in the NBBA.

I have focused on improving driving with recent purchases. Maybe a good question for AZ as well, I recall his team has been good at drawing fouls.

edit - FWIW, gardner drew the most fouls last night of my bigs and he has the lowest driving.
