wow, nice breakdown on all the teams.
but unless you're like me & enjoy a steady diet of missed shots {following near shot clock violations} my team is never one to watch. though, to be fair, the lethargy *is* capable of the occasional 70+ pt offensive explosion. So watch out saturday & hope we don't "bring it" when we make our first ever visit to Coruscant Galatic Arena! (fun fact -- already on *2* seperate occasions we've broken 70 on the road...... "yes we can". "si se puede".)

tbh, was simply hoping to avoid relegation. the last 7 winners of my dIII league had all failed to stick prior to last season. in fact had i started out badly planned on starting my 43 year olds & tanking it. honestly still not trying to win now. only reason for picking up another player was because both my starting & backups C got injured. still have plenty of $ left in the bank, so no big deal. a move i needed to make eventually anyway.

btw, what's your logo from? (if anything). reminded me a little of the album cover from "Vision Thing" (sisters of mercy).
(http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/s/sisters-of-mercy/album...) not sure if yours is a stylized kanji too or if i'm reading too much into it. that character's meaning would be consistent with your team name though.

oh & what/where is the USA matchup predictor? (never heard of it before)

Yeah Pel, what is your Logo all about?

And jeez did I ever get a bad break Tuesday. Dusak goes down 8 minutes into the game and turns a game I should win by 8-10 into a game I lose by 8-10. =(

I don't know Jelme, I'll have to ask the guy who made it.

Pel's logo is actually a tatoo. I was looking for an "Eye or Ra" or some sort of all-seeing eye. Not stylized Kaji at all.

See my press release and all will be revealed. You yell "normal" everybody goes, "huh...what", but you yell "crunch time" and we got a panic on our hands on the fourth of July.

there's a fatal flaw in your account of what happened! i'll reply there.

but this wasn't about winning or losing. or my coach having a minor stroke. i achieved something far greater than victory. to quote my final paragraph:
Some say there *are* no moral victories. Those people are communists. Because this wasn't the type of thing you see every day. Or week. Or year. This was a once in a Will-enium occurrence. The Lethargy got jiggy with it. Period. End of story.

Want to know what I know that the rest of you dont? And that is... Nothing. I honestly havent tanked one game. Ok I take that back, after I was like 0-8 or something, I realized I was going to demote. So I tanked my game with south central so I can lock up #1 pick. Im going to be the Cav's this season. I dont really know why, but I have a solid group of guards, and what I noticed was that no matter what, in d.ii you cannot win with just guards. My centers are taking to long to train, so I figure one season in d.iii and ill be back stronger than ever. I hope.
