I don't really like answering for Vecx but its fairly standard for a home team to put in less effort. You're supposed to be the better team and you're at home. Its a risk but a calculated one.

Sure, but when it's close you sacrifice a bit of Enth just in case, especially if you have HCA in the Finals. What's the worse thing that can happen? If you were wrong and the game was not close, then you probably get some garbage time and better minutes ahead of the last training update of the season. You don't want to end with 2 #4 seed in the finals just because the teams above them tried to save Enth, while they crunched every playoff game!

My money was on you crunching your semifinal and even more on A Dogs doing so, so I would have definitely crunched on the other side. At any rate, I am also a specialist in copying a previous lineup and forgetting to change GDP, Enth and other things (like removing backups which invariably mess up minutes for training), so that's also a possibility here.

Btw, the 58 total fouls and 78 FTs in the conference final must be a fairly high total even for you.

My starting PF fouled out early for the first time ever for me, that lost me the game, but that is what happens in BB. It adds to the spice and makes it possible for anyone to win. Happy to see our current finalists thrash it out and it makes a change to be honest!

I did think it was obvious what me and zander would do, as I think we both had to do it. I had the better record, he had the better team, but I didn't particularly want to imply criticism of Vecx.

Lol, I tend to believe it is. Buzzer manager doesn't list fouls in the team records so I can't be sure, but I can't remember managing to hit 30 fouls and I do usually win that matchup so 58 does seem like my "best" ever.

Congrats to Gully. Pretty dominating finals performance there.

Congrats Gully. You won it a few times with an oldie high salary team, and now with your home grown (ish) lower salary version. Nice team management/rebuilding.

Wasn't close though? Pfft. I won 2 quarters and still had a lead yesterday with about 5 minutes to go! I was at a gig last night (Hot Water Music and a few others in Manchester if anyone is interested) so not watching properly, think I'm glad...When I tuned in and I was doing well I have to say I was looking forward to game 3 today though. Not to be I guess.

I will admit to the first game being a mess, at no point did I consider I might've faced patient...Out tactic-ed there for sure :) (and in a way that set up me 3-2ing yesterday, when my team is better suited to defending inside m2m)

I hate making these posts, but I suppose they're better than those when you're pretending not to be upset about losing.

Thanks elmacca. Dominated the scoreboard, but definitely not game 2 as Bergkamp said.

Thanks, this was my hardest ever final, and the first where I've beaten the better team. It was my bought in players of course who scored the points for me in both games.

With 2 minutes to go we were level, you had the ball and I was already preparing for my losing speech when we got a huge steal, followed by another, eventually managed to score and then the whole last minute thing skewed the score. Relief followed by pleasure.

I am uncomfortable accepting praise for using such a cheap and nasty tactic but it certainly won me the game, and therefore the title. You did mention Alburger after beating the Tide but I knew what I was going to do as soon as the conference finals were over. I pretty much knew what I'd do in game two as well. Game three didn't matter since I knew I wouldn't win it.

I hate to praise myself but I can't help admitting I'm especially pleased to have won a third title after such a long gap - the longest in EBBL history, and also the Wasps being the first team to win the EBBL from both conferences. And, as Bergkamp pointed out, using a completely different way of building the team.

I don't particularly enjoy training to the exclusion of winning but I've managed it, and I guess its proved worth it. The two beasts did their jobs, 10 blocks between them, 15 for the team, which it could be argued were the difference in an inside dominated game.

Now I just have to decide if I want to play fcp in the B3 next season...

Jeez that looked shorter when I previewed it. Sorry!

Congratulations! You have a super team! Good luck for next season!

Thanks mate. Good luck to you too!

Good job mate!!

Thanks!
