Let us dance once more, Cinderella. ;)


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 ;)

This would be the best Game in the world if it had animated graphics

As if game day wasn't entertaining enough: graphics would attract and retain new mangers, I'm sure.

It's a shame the cup takes away from the MVP results -- Bowens got gypped. Also, that one game he played 3 minutes screwed his perfect stats.

4 NBBA Final's losses in a row (counting this season) :-)

The Buffalo Bills of BuzzerBeater! Maybe I can temporarily stop mentoring A-Dub next season to give everyone else a chance.

shikago beat king kenny in the other semifinal so hopefully i can make it an all american final. i am also pretty sure in a turning of tables that i have the oldest/worst/lowest salary utopian player in bb

Not so fast! If you're talking about Fumbani Mdokwana (33420712), Jerry Beirne (33418019) is a year older and makes $25 less per week. (Håkan Jonasson (33413508) & Carlos Danger(33427292) are both in their 40s already, though more expensive).

Anyway, have a feeling you'll win. We've both got teams of 1 salary monster and a bunch of scrubs, except your salary monster is much better. Plus you've got a big enthusiasm advantage probably. I was chasing a 1 loss team all season after staying in the cup too long. Which turned into scrambling for an auto-promote spot. (on the bubble, might be short on PD)
