4 0:04 83 — 85 F. Gomez (A) reaches up and tries to tip it in, guarded closely by A. Castelar (H). Shot missed.
4 0:04 83 — 85 A. Castelar (H) ends the possession with a defensive rebound.
4 0:02 83 — 85 Foul called on Z. Kwok Wing (A).

It was that close.


It was...we couldn't stop you from scoring in the fourth quarter...weird game in many ways...usually my team has very balanced scoring, rarely do we have a very high scorer...but tonight we were led by our Center with 41 points, and after my top 3 scorers, everyone else sucked. Your scoring was very similar with good shooting from a few players, and everyone else struggled.

That was definitely an HCA win!

Good luck next season!

Can you say "Sixth Consecutive Silver" five times fast? It's kind of a tongue twister.

I can say it...but it wouldn't be true ;) This will be my 4th consecutive Silver....but my 6th straight Finals Appearance....I won D3, D2, and now 4 NBBA Final's losses in a row (counting this season) :-)

I wish I had a Fairy Godmother to pull some magic and give me a chance against you :-) At this point, I'd be thrilled winning my home game and forcing a game 3.

You beat High Point on a Neutral court, by 10, on less effort....I beat High Point at home by 4 on equal effort. What's that equal? You win by 19 at my place, about 31 at yours? Ohhhh joy! So much fun to look forward to :-)

Not to make excuses, but here's one anyways: poor GS (Simmons/Britton).

just 'cause i am grumpy . . . you should note it helps to have had Upsyndrome and, for that matter, Golden Horde in the other conference. i got a trophy or two when the league champion came from the other conference. (sigh)

Well Oscar...just since I am grumpy, I will defend myself :-)

At this point, there is no getting past Upsyndrome without running a negative $300K a week ...and what fool would do that? The way he grabbed all the NT bigs and the Merch advantage he has, puts him in a category by himself.

That said my team promoted to the NBBA quicker than I planned...we went to the NBBA Finals 4 seasons ago, with basically the same team that I won D2 with. That was a fun surprise...of course, we ran into NT Juggernaught TKI at the time, and almost pulled the upset. My team starts and rely's on two players that are currently less than $22K and 19K...and in previous seasons their salaries were lower. On paper, we don't look very impressive, but we keep getting it done ;)

Last night, I took $551K of payroll up against $786K of payroll and eeked out a win. So while I may not have your obstacles to overcome, I'm certainly not getting a free path to the Finals, and have obstacles of my own to overcome ;)
