Also, I would love to run a big team as well, but I want to make the money first, so I have the freedom to do whatever I like with my team later. I also HATE playing guys for half the games or for under 30 mins a game. Sure, 48 mins a game isn't realistic, but I rather fill up the stat sheet and guarantee all stars at least. Actually, 48 min a game for 22 games isnt out of the realm of realism now that I think about it. But yeah, I used to run backups but my training minutes get messed up.

Dude even the best in the world, LeBron James avg 36.9 minutes a game. Which was tied with the most in the league. D-league even less minutes. Maybe you mean it's not out of the realism in the WNBA idk I don't watch that. I know you HATE playing your guys under 30 min. It's 48. Your all about the all star game, I get that. You can play less than 48 minutes a game and still make the "all-star" game. If it's that important to you.
See Shaq, some guys aren't about championships, not everyone in the league wants to win. It's more about states then wins. Hey Risers, Westbrook there's no I in team. You wanna win you gotta be a team player, that's why nobody wants to play with Westbrook or moody in this league. They see how things are run their for a season, and there like get me outta here....America....I GUARANTEE Paul George isn't in Oklahoma next year!!!
The Foes shut down the risers biggest threat and he just kept jacking up shots even when team mates were wind open lol

Big win tonight, now it's onto...whoever we got next, any questions about our next opponent? I will not answer anymore questions about the risers, unless we happen to see em later on down the road. That is a great team over there by the way. I know I give them crap and get under their skin. But gotta take a team like that serious. They earned my respect they've come a long way....but I can still give em crap lol
Best of luck the rest of the way bud!

Now who the hell we got next?

lol. I think Bellamy going 0-14 was the bigger issue tonight. If I decided to change my game plan and not predict, it probably would've been a 7-12 point loss instead. Either way, the rebounds, missed free throws, and goddamn GAYLORD BELLAMY were the issue. Good call on Motion offense, I wouldn't have predicted that at all and it was definitely the right choice to tire out Darren. Oh I also went minimum effort to your maximum. Not saying I would've won for certain, but it would've been closer for sure.

Also the reason players play around 35 min max, has more to do with reducing wear on the body over the course of FOUR TIMES the amount of games in a BB season if you include the NBA playoffs. You can't believe the players today wouldn't be playing 44+min per game if it was a 22 game season. In the early 2000s a bunch of the stars were playing 40+min per game.

Yea I guess they would be playing more minutes if they played a 22 game season. I'm not sure if some of the bigger star's would be. But definitely the younger ones for sure.
We had ALOT more fouls on us tonight, I didn't look, but I'm guessing your guys must of missed your free throws. The foul difference was like 9-23 something crazy like that. I was like damn!!!
I don't blame u for predicting, and I figured you would go balance, because it covers em both push the ball/Patient, and that's what I normally run, and that's good coaching on your part to be honest. So, I had to try to throw something different out there. Plus like you said, it was my goal to tire out Daren, wasn't sure if it would happen or not, and I figured he would still get 20 something points, because he's a damn good player! I had to try something tho, and I probably shouldn't say this because now u can change it up on me lol...you normally play him at the Point guard position, so I was throwing my best players at that position. And luckily it paid off this time.
I'm not sure about who you've played lately without looking at ur schedule. But our schedule has been pretty easy. Meaning like no tough games back 2 back. So of course it makes it easier to go all out when that's the case. Of course I didn't look ahead and see who I had next LOL...which is new York, which might be interesting since I went all out in this game.
And honestly, I felt like I had to go all out against your guys, even tho I was the home team. That's how good i think you guys are.
Keep up the great work!!! We were playing eachother this week, so I had to heat it up a bit, keep things interesting, u know?
Nothing personal, I promise you that!

I actually want SG to be his primary position. I just have been swapping him and Joe because I'm doing one position training. I was actually gonna go balance/fast which would've been even worse for me. I might've lost by 30. I watched most of the game and Darren was missing easy shots. The two threes he got were in garbage time during the last minute or so. He just came down the court and chucked em up both times lol. Definitely frustrated af. I mean I hit 17 of my 28 free throws which is enough for most teams. I was expecting to get you guys in foul trouble, but the lead was too big. Your backups started coming in and there was no chance of that happening. The beginning of the third quarter has to be the biggest run I've ever been on the opposite end of. Your guys forced turnovers and got offensive rebounds and dropped 9 points in like two minutes. As far as strategies, I've laid out everything I do in these posts. You guys (the GMs)definitely got the info to give me a hard time on the court, but I welcome the challenge.

In other news, Ross Anderson is back to starting full time baby! This might be his last run and he's gonna have a blast blowing up these bots.

This has gotta be one of the most interesting seasons we've had in a while. Normally we know who the top 8 teams are gunna be on each side by now. And i thought I knew who they were gunna be coming into this season, as I'm much most of y'all did. And i get it's still early in the season, but right now we got some interesting things going on, top to bottom. Bottom meaning like 6th place. Before we run into pot teams.

Yea, I think the Big 8 has the top 2 or 3 teams in the league atm, but it's clearly our top 5 right behind.

It's nice to see the Wildcats making some noise, they've been here I think for a few seasons. Between them, lobcity and New York it's all pretty tight on the great 8 side. Then u have Brooklyn and the sharks fighting it out. And the top 3 teams in the big 8 fighting for position. Alot of fun stuff happening

I haven’t really decided yet what I’m doing with my team. Sitting on 10 mil saving up for a HOF trainee in 3 seasons. I don’t know if I want to promote and then get my NT prospect or just wait to promote because it is way easier training in d4. I want to keep Mikey but his salary is gonna start getting high. I’m either keeping Mikey or capping Jasper and keeping him. If anyone needs help training I can help. I’ve trained 4 u21 players for the US all for worlds seasons. You guys should join the discord btw. It’s really active with a bunch of US managers like you guys.

Tried to talk with my coach after the last gave and he gave me the Popovich look! he's going to need a couple of 6 packs to recover from that game!

We've 5 players in the "all-star" game. The most minutes played is 32.5 only team in the top 8 to avg less is...Shlubs. I think the "fans" just love us, and wanna see us in the "all-star" game lol
