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

I had four starters myself. Would've been five with Shah.

Congrats to Mikey Tompkins for my All-Star Game MVP!

I'll do the Power Rankings later tonight.

Also, Darren's gonna be playing Center once a week for a little bit, since I need some Inside Scoring pops to finish him off. I'm gonna take this opportunity to finish up Barnett as well. Not sure if I'll continue training Hagen and Garcia in specific areas or go for some Game Shape/Stamina/Free Throw training, afterwards. I think the latter will benefit me more for the playoffs, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, since Hagen is somewhat close to maxed out.

Congrats to Fair Where Foes on being the first team to clinch a playoff spot! (not that it was unexpected or anything lol)

Thanks man! Lol I didn't even notice that. Now our goal is to clinch the #1 overall spot for the league. We haven't had one court in the finals the last 2 seasons, and it's in reach this season! See what happens.

What a come back tonight...trailing 70-43 (something like that) I played- take it easy, and we certainly did that, in the first half lol. 3rd quarter was key, we got their lead trimmed down to 9. And we just kept the hammer down in the 4th quarter. Alot of fighting power I guess you could say, we got!
