Yeah I don't think anyone will be able to beat the Traptors. Maybe if someone added two 120k salary behemoths to their team before the playoffs, they'd have a shot, but only then.


I can see you smirking as you see "Bid Accepted" on your screen :)

This set of rankings suggests to me that point difference is too big of a factor, at least this season.

Tough break this week, I thought Eclypze would be weaker after those sales. Between that and the forfeit, you've got a taller hill to climb than your team deserved this season.

Well, it's the same formula as last year. You're PD is so far off the teams around you though, I think it shows a bigger effect. Also, you're team ratings have been pretty low on average. They've shot up the last 5 games or so, but you're still playing catch up there a little.

Eugene Smith put 74 points on me. I didn't expect him to play Smith at C, so my M2M defense went to crap as my C had to guard Smith on the outside. Still, didn't think 74 would be possible.

The forfeit was a huge bummer. Completely accidental, and I hate that it ruins any PD advantage I may end up with. I've still got a decent shot at 5th though, which is fine with me. I have a couple purchases coming up too that will ensure I have no issue staying in the league.

Haiti. It was certainly exciting. It was also heart breaking to see the poverty there. The Haitian people are awesome though, and I plan to go back sometime soon.

Cleary it is not great :)

Next time I'll box and 1 you to make sure Ike Gould guards him. Or the SF I'm hoping to get. Should have known that anyway, but I thought you would play him at PF.

Were you on a mission trip? I read an article recently about a guy in Indiana that has been organizing backpacking trips there. That intrigued me. Of my friends that have been to Haiti, none were there on friendly terms.

I was. Haven't heard of the guy organizing backpacking trips, but there are certainly mountains to backpack on. We stayed in the town of Grand Guave, which as really close to the epicenter of the earthquake three years ago and closer to the coast, so we didn't do any backpacking other than to and from job sites.

If you're thinking about going, I'd certainly recommend it. It's not a tourism spot, as there really aren't many hotels or restaurants, at least not one's like what we're used to in the states. There's also been some increased violence towards Americans reported in the last month or so, but we didn't experience anything close to that. In our experience, the people are incredibly joyful, friendly, and loving, despite not having anything close to what we have in America (running water, houses, etc.).
