Hey, I just joined this season, looking forward to getting into the swing of things, the beginning, and well, the entirety of my schedule looks brutal compared to the teams that I am facing...

As for my first game, after losing by nearly 30 my first game my confidence swindles..., but I'm convinced that it was closer than the final score made it seem. Nearly tied 3 quarters but in the second I scored a whopping six points compared to Crown heights Dynasty's 29... Not to mention a starter with 6 TOs, and a horrific shooting %.

I'm investing in some young'ins and going to try to be active, hopefully on the forum as well, never been into forums much, so it'll also be a new experience for me. Really impressed with the depth of this game though.

Cool! Great to have you! The US actually has an offsite forum where the top managers here discuss tactics and training. It's the home for National Teams as well, and we'd love to have you. If you want to figure out this game, going there is the best place to be. Here's a link: http://s3.zetaboards.com/BuzzerBeater_USA_NT/index/

In other news, great start to the season everyone! If the BB gods please to keep me injury free for a while, I think I'll turn out all right. :p Congrats to crazburglar for a great win on Saturday.

I was up the entire game, then that last quarter down 11 with less than 2 minutes left scared me but 5/6 three point shooting really saved me!

Good luck to all tomorrow! I've got a tough game ahead against the Turks, so it'll be another barn burner for the Dudes.

What's up out there? Anyone alive? In any case, Saturday's game between the Dudes and the Turks was more competitive than the score suggests, both teams putting up excellent ratings to really give V.22 a show. Marian Guzowski lead the team with 17 points and 13 rebounds, while Branko Baratović tore up the defense from out the outside, shooting 10-24 from the field for 23 points as the Dudes took the the day 97-78. I was really surprised by this score, thought it would be a lot closer, but the competition was tight in each quarter.

Elsewhere, Richmond City River edged out old man 88-81. Yiannis Ftiaratos had another spectacular day for the River, shooting 17-26 from the field for 43 points and scoring 2 of Richmond's trio of 3 pointers.

Anyway, these were the highlights in my opinion, now what's yours?

Congrats on that huge win and bouncing back from the opening day loss. Looking at those ratings really frightened me, the highest i've had a player rating was 7.5 I think so those cross conference games are looking very dangerous for me. Ftiaratos has been surprising for me. I bid on him as one of the things new players must do to finish the tutorial and surprisingly I got him. I am so happy he keeps my salary low while also leading my team with his ratings and most importantly his scoring. If only I could play him every game...but it definitely has surprised me that he is leading the league in scoring. Maybe he can keep that up.

You should be able to play him every game, as long as you have a good backup behind him, he should be fine on his minutes. You're also running a Patient offense, so your team is going to spend time setting up a shot, and if he's one of your best players, then he's going to get the ball more.

I didn't want to have to expand as fast as I did roster-wise, but I needed to do so in order to stay competitive and have the chance to promote this season. It was exciting for me as well to see the turnout, it was really the first time I was able to see the new roster come together.

Of course, but I'm also trying to save him for a part in the cup to make some more money. I was looking at my schedule and I'm pretty sure I picked one of the worst, with Statesboro playing the teams after me and the teams before me being inactive. Not to mention that I have all of you tough, active teams one after another. Not happy with that.

Really, it used to be more active? I don't see really any threads on the archive that showed any activity. I've been trying to encourage people to post more, but it's been a little challenging, considering there's only 3 of us.

I meant to word that differently. I meant that the forum was dead when I was in this league and I wish the forum was as active as it is now than what it was, which is dead, a couple of seasons ago.
