Interesting game for me this week against FWF. With how close the Bloomington/Miami game was, this next one should put the strength of the conferences into perspective. Although, Cyborgs is still in a tier of his own ATM.

Here are my all-star predictions.

All-Star Predictions

Great 8

PG: D. Moody, M. Tompkins
SG: J. Hagen, R. Kline (possibly Z. Baird)
SF: G. Bellamy, H. Nomme
PF: T. Baji, A. Hochstattler (not sure who's starting)
C: L. Raith, H. Barnett (possibly O. Marti, W. Rolen)

Big 8

PG: T. Huma, R. Figueiredo
SG: J. Bravo, S. Malaki (possibly E. Schumacher)
SF: H. Kok Choon, E. Pusticki ( E. Havermann and P. Rainey are strong contenders for backup. This spot is hardest to predict)
PF: D. Bauer, L. Quick (possibly H. Blount, but let's be real. Lee " Motha Effin" Quick is lowkey best player of all time. #LetLeeLoose)
C: C. Friedman, H. Gooden (not sure who's starting)

I didn't even know we played you guys this week. I was like no, we play New York. But then i was like he said "THIS week" lol. I assume you don't have "anybody" this week, and is looking ahead.
It wouldn't surprise me, if we go on a losing streak these next few games, since we went all in on Cyborg's. I was thinking of "laying down" for that one, but as we all know now i thought what the heck.
And we have good teams coming up starting with new York. We may not be at our best. But I'm not honestly concerned, i mean it's save to say were gunna be in the playoffs this season, and we've proven that we can win on the road. So, for us, we just wanna improve our bench players, and pray next season we dont have another super team in this league. Not saying its a "Dunk" that we'd win the entire league, but i think we could give any team a run for the cup.
Im sure other coach's here feel the same way as will.

Anyways, Eike normally doesn't make the allstar game, he usually gets over looked. He is actually the best all around player on my team, does the dirty work. Just doesn't get rewarded for it, league wise lol.
But like you said, the SF position is deep so.
And i realized you didn't have Albert "The monster rebounder" in the allstar game for C's. He has made at least the last 3 in a row i wanna say. How could you leave someone like that off your list lol. 11 points a game, 3 assist and 12 rebounds

>>> Your team actually played well against the Cyborgs... your PG scored 40 points against one of my better players and if you look at your team ratings most were in the double figures... as for the Cyborgs being a Super Team that might have been correct at the beginning of the season but as the weeks go bye I am paying these high salaries for players that their skills are dropping every week, and my 2 trainees are training slower than I like... If you look at the League Leaders Board the Cyborgs only have 1 player listed in the 3 area's ... I think right now the Cyborgs balance is the key to us winning games. If however my players skills keep dropping at this level by the end of the season and into the playoffs it could be any teams chance to win the League Title... The Cyborgs Management Team might be making some changes in the near future to the roster and bring in more youth for the playoff run..

We lost by 34 points!! That ain't ever good lol.
Plus our team rating, that all came in "garbage" time.
And we gave your guys all we had! And you still kicked our ass all over the court!
As for the leaderboards go, your team is playing alot of blow out games, there for your starter's aren't playing the 4th quater. So, you SHOULD have your player's in the allstar game, being as dominate as you're, shouldn't hurt your team, or play against your players. But were see i guess.
Even with their skill's dropping at a rappid pace, your team is elite, and i don't see that changing or hurting your 99.999 % chance to win this league.
You've earned where you're, i mean to be able to have a team with high salaries like that. You must of put in alot of work to get there. Now you might wanna change your roster up for the elite teams your face next season, but im sure you're aware of that. You didn't get this far because you got attached to your player's, you got this far because you know when it's time to cut ties.

>>>> Thanks for the Kudos on my team, I can definitely see this league being brutal in about 2 seasons from now, a lot of young developing talent on quite a few teams here is going to make it difficult for any team being dominant...It will all come down to Coaching, training and roster development and which ever team stays healthier as the playoffs approach....

Lee "MothaFreakin" Quick drops 46 point's tonight in 41 minutes and 29 shots, against a very good New York team.

This is looking more like our team of last season, Romeu leading us one week, to Quick leading the way in this game.
ED has led us this season also. Of course it would be nice if they would do so together, but idk how to make them do that. Their selfish players with big ego's, who think this entire season is pointless

>>> Well done on a hard fought game against a quality opponent... it was a close game throughout but the 3rd Quarter your team put it together and gave you a nice lead going into the 4th....

Down 22-12 at the half.

"No problem, we got em right where we want em. Their ego's "flyin" high. Thinkin bout that parade. Pipe dreams.
We still haven't thrown everything at em, including the damn kitchen sink!
No, hundle will clip them wings, have tired birds in Minnesota.
Read option, flat screens.
Hear we go!!!!.....ARE.....YOU....READY?????

"Damn Zebra's"

Yes the NFL is talking about changing the "catch" rule....BUT NOT THIS SEASON! Didn't anyone tell the zebra's that, we are still playing under the same rules as the regular season!!
2 TDS that shouldn't have been TDS helped Philly win this superbowl! Ugh! Yuck!
But....i ain't gunna be cryin over sour milk

Any questions?
Reporter: will you be back next season?
Response: Were on to the offseason, any questions about what ill be doing, who ill be seeing,etc.
Reporter: will you be thinking about coming back as NE head coach during your offseason break?
Response: *dead look*

GG FWF. Probably would've went your way with the correct focus prediction, maybe even no prediction at all. Not sure if you knew I was going to play Outside Iso and chose the wrong prediction. The iso offenses being "Balanced" is a bit wacky. Or maybe you were thinking I would go Princeton and wanted to cover both options.

In any case, the Risers stole a game tonight boys. The PG and PF matchups were pretty nuts. Ross Anderson held his own against NestLEE NesQUICK. Whether or not that's his final dip in the fountain of youth remains to be seen. Missing as many free throws as I did is a bit concerning, but I probably won't be addressing that issue until my trainees are capped.

GG man. Congrats on the W tonight. My guys stopped playing after that 1st quater. Tired legs. Were actually still recovering from that game against the only unbeaten team left. Our energy is drain. I was actually surprised we won earlier in the week against New York. But maybe his team was facing the samething, idk. But regardless gg.

My main focus was shutting down your SG, take him out of the game. Watching your previous games against real opponents it was obvious that your whole game plan is set around your SG and have him throw up 3's. Holding him to just 15 points was a job will done.
I did click on the wrong focus however, also i didn't put my best defenders on him, which is something i would've changed. But still 15 points isn't awful to give up to a player of his level. I guess you could say I wasn't as focused for this game as i should of been.

But tired legs/i felt like i had to try to focus on something. And knowing what you were running. I figured it would help out my tired players. I just goofed it up.
Our thing is always about taken away our opponents best player and making your other players having to beat us. And your guys did that tonight. GG by the Risers, well deserved and well coached.
Now its on to Miami and this game is gunna be about getting my player's rested. Win or lose, we need a "take it easy" approach.
