thanks all.
surprised the clogs did not CT, as would have definitely loss game 2.
very good teams here and was just lucky.
pretty sure my team is not DII ready so hopefully I can get a good pick-up along the way - may be back here soon. :)

Don't come back! ;)

If there were still attendance money for game 3, I might have considered the CT given that my chances to win the tiebreaker were low. As it stood, I pretty much had to maximize my chance (small though it was) of winning the series, and that meant trying to bank all the enthusiasm I could for game 3 and then hoping for a hot shooting game with the Princeton Mess o' Doom(tm).

If nothing else, I get further proof for my theory that the game just doesn't care about how good or bad your players' skills are or how they are performing when figuring out the shot distribution. In no world whatsoever would a team shooting a higher percentage from 3 than 2 keep forcing jumpers and drives instead of jacking up more threes.

did not know there is not more attendance money for game 3 - really need to start reading the news post more i guess...
I also got only 150K for winning - i thought promotion bonus used to be $1m - did this change as well?

I should have let you know that before the series, and maybe you'd have thrown it. ;)

But what they did is replaced the third game revenue with a bonus to the teams in the Finals - the winning team in III gets 150k, the losing team gets 75k. The promotion bonus should come soon, and from III to II is now $750k (which, I think, is higher than it used to be but I don't remember for sure).
