This evenings montage starts showing teams that fit the lyrics of tonight's theme transitioning to examples of various squads finishing the break.

Cue: https://youtu.be/THJBwVmwLL0

Announcer: as we hit the halfway point of the campaign the teams of the slaughterhouse continue to take stock of where they stand.

Deronimo gets the free pass with daggers making a visit to cassell

The generals look to get off the schnide though the mavs will do their best to derail those aspirations


The pistons are already pulling away in the big 8 but club red Co leader the kitties will be looking to spring a little surprise.

In another matchup between teams of similar quality the bunnies are hoping the cave continues to be a inhospitable venue with surprising wadsworth making their way in.

The dogs want to better secure their grip on 2nd as the blizzards will be seeking some road love to stay on pace with the playoff race.

The spiders will be hoping to make it back to back wins though masters needs this one to keep their heads above .500 waters.

Stormz is seeking to spring a surprise on 2

And the nation will be looking to see how their new editions fair against struggling spike.


Of course we will see what Sybill has to stay. Of course there will be a check of the transfer ticker and with all but the kitties kicked from the cup tonight's edition of point counterpoint will debate the merits of the event.

So settle in for all the fun as its time again for another round to be worn as its time again for BB2NIGHT

I am not one to spread rumors but eeerrraaa Old Kobe just bought a couple of expensive guards, watch out !

Ya I noticed that!

Tonight's open is of a series of high energy plays from both sides of the conference alternating between the two conferences.

Announcer: as we hit the halfway point of the campaign it is a dead heat between the two sides. Even though both sides have seen there leaders step to the forefront the battle for supremacy between the two sides rages on.

Wadsworth and Deronimo tangle in a matchup between two clubs trying to stay in the playoff hunt. Though for Wadsworth the margin for error is much slimmer.

The Pistons will continue to try and pull away from the rest of the pack but they have s tricky assignment as the Macs never make it easy at home.


The masters will try to keep pace in club red while the nation will get another chance to see how well their recent additions can state to take root.

Fierce will try to hold serve to stay one game behind 2 as the cellar dwelling spiders come calling

While 2 will be looking to maintain their slim lead as it is the recently upgraded but still stuck deep in the relegation zone generals who are in town.

cal looks to maintain their grip on second against spike

While stormz gets the free pass against the daggers training trio

And the bunnies and blizzards battle in a game with seeding implications for both

A huge week on the transfer ticker and we will have all the hulabaloo. Sybill will get her say and with the ASG a week away we will get a preview on who the participants might be and on which arenas bid might get the nod. So settle in your chair, our crew will get you there as its time again for BB2Night

Good Game Coach Joe,

One injured starting guard, another starter in game in the 1st quarter, then another back-up guard later in the game. We still had a chance. I am proud of the young'uns and old farts who showed some heart. But, too many men down. /tips hat.

Thanks, I was only able to catch a short snippit of the game live last night. It was anyone's game tied at 72 going into the 4th. Seemed like a hard fought back and forth battle from what little I got to see. I was relieved to see today that my team prevailed in the end. (bullet dodged)

I've been playing for a little over 12 full seasons, half of that time learning the hard way what not to do. About 4-5 seasons ago, I wrapped my head around the on-court tactics of this game and built a division 4 monster, and dominated that division. So, I finally promote to this division, and I'm losing every game, losing money, and even losing every bidding war on the transfer market. My two most talented players are also my youngest and highest paid, one of whom I am still training. I think I do well enough with the X's and O's, but the $ is killing me. My arena is smaller than it should be for this division, and I haven't learned how to turn a profit on the transfer market. Well, I have at least a couple of choices. One, I can struggle to avoid relegation, but I think it's a long shot. Not to mention, how long can I afford to stay here? Two, sell one or both of my stars, keep losing, go back to division 4 and rebuild. Any thoughts?

I think you have too much ground to gain to get out of the cellar. But fight to the bitter end, you never know.

The arena is a touch small but not the real issue. The issue is you have way too many players. Keep your studs, keep enough depth to fill a 8-10 man rotation and sell or in the case of those freeloaders at the end of the bench ....well time to bring them in for the talk. https://youtu.be/m9GJXYU3KDY

Hello Spiders - on your team, you have too many players and not enough seats in your arena. 1) no need for 20 players. Real NBA teams only run 12 deep, with the last fewer being benchwarmers. For your team, you need 5 good starters, plus 3 decent backups. Plus you will then have a few extra trainees (number depends on if doing 1 or 2 position training, plus how many trainees are included in your starters/subs). Then maybe a couple of cheap losers to play/backup your regular subs in mid-week friendlies in non training slots once out of the tourney. (You Don't want to run your regular starters out in those games - risk of injury in a meaningless game, plus form drop due to too many minutes played.)
2) arena too small. Through mid August you sold out the first three seating types for many games in a row. Only now, with your team struggling are fans staying away. Think of how much more money you could have made if you had more seats during that sellout streak. (Don't add any more VIP seats - never sold them out during your July to mid August attendance run). In addition to building a team, one also has to master the financial aspects of Buzzerbeater. Good luck.

I agree with the other coaches about your roster, its too big, trim it down to 11-13 players. That will save you some money.
Your roster still looks like a D4 roster. I would have made upgrades at the start of the season on your weakest positions to be competitive at this level. Its a little late now so I would probably invest in some young trainees and go back to D4 and rebuild. Keep adding to your arena and adjusting your prices. Be ready next time with rising young talent and/ or money to buy upgrades at the next level.
Its tough to make money in this game and be competitive at the same time but keep trying. Good Luck.
