So far you got your team line-up running smooth he can only help.
I have to roll with the guys I have and hope I can get them back on track...GS has been off.

I could go without it, but I know I won't be able to keep myself from participating lol I'm a supporter so I get great competition in my private league and of course I'm still trying to climb the ranks in this league. I like that all teams will begin in Division IV.

Thanks! Haha yeah, I don't actually expect a bid to get put on him I just threw him up there to see if I could get lucky. Hopefully he'll be able to help me make a promotion run in a season or two.

From what I've seen on the offsite, Lucero and Basham both look like they're coming along great for you!

I am very surprised with these power rankings. For a team to be ranked number 1 this late in the season they almost have to have the best record.

This league is very strong at the top compared to other Division IV leagues. Some potential league champions could be stuck here for a while. There could be more strong teams joining us in the future.

I have won only 1 playoff game in this league and it came in OT in my arena. I started 3-3 this season after starting 9-0 last season. I am only 1-3 against teams 2 thru 4 with Jungle Fever next. I barely beat the two number 5 teams.

My highest paid player makes only $29k. My starting PG and PF are playing out of position. All of my players are 26 to 30 years old. I was lucky but happy to have 3 players on the All-Star team.

I have a deep bench and a good rebounding team but I have some players as good as each other without a go-to-guy. In the big games the starters play most of the minutes. Against The 88s only 3 of my backups played.

I trained game shapes last week because I had 2 very difficult games coming up. My players DMIs should be higher with the game shapes that they have.

I was shocked when Jungle Fever played CT against me while playing TIE against the other teams. A regular season CT cuts enthusiasm in half. Jungle Fever had low enthusiasm when they played against The 88s and it cost them the game.

This league is strong when a team like Indianapolis is never mentioned. They looked intimidating with two $100k players when I played against them. Indianapolis played this season with a skeleton crew and mediocre game shapes. They had the longest cup run in the league and they are now officially in the playoffs. They have a huge 29k mansion with 14 seasons of BB experience.

The Lords are the best new team with a current 9 game winning streak while beating Claws. The Lords did not use their best lineup against Jungle Fever.

Rhino has a good future with their starters 23 to 27 years old and a strong inside game that took me into OT in my arena. They just need a better SF.

DaddysGirls is getting old with 7 of their 9 players in their 30’s and they can’t seem to field a healthy team.

Idaho has a good team that beat me this season but they are stuck in a strong conference.

Briscoe has a good roster that beat me 2 seasons ago but they tanked this season.

The league is strong when a team like DaddysGirls does not get into the playoffs. It would be even stronger if Briscoe would show up and play.

My power rankings:

1. Jungle Fever
2. Claws
3. Diamantes
4. The 88s
5. Los Angeles Lords
6. Rhino’s Rage

regulation and ticket sales got the better if me this season. Once I started to slide, I figured I had better set myself up for next season. This has been a fun season to watch unfold.

When a team gets relegated there is a big drop in tv revenue and attendance. Any team with a 4 or 5 man roster in mediocre game shape is going to slide.

Your arena is larger than any of the current NBBA teams. They are all between 16k and 23k. We cannot fill 29k seats at this level.

This league will be even stronger if you play with a full roster and build up your game shapes. Not to mention us getting a strong Division III relegee or Division V promotee.

This isn't my first rodeo. I'll be back in the thick of things. I did make the playoffs even still. Plus, even though you cant fill 29k seats, I was filling 85% of them.
