Scores level at HT. Should be a fun one, I think my players are underperforming right now compared to what they're capable of, and you've got more depth and will be fitter come the end of Q4. Hoping I can continue some momentum gained in a better Q2 for me and have a lead at 3QT, because don't want to be in a very tight ending (although maybe experience plays a factor in my favour? I never know how much to make of it).

I'm surprised Goldsons kept that roster intact for 2 seasons, 1.4 million in salaries is ridiculous even with the national team merchandise 'rebate'. No surprise that they're selling after back to back titles then, which means there's at least a chance the next B3 favourite won't be quite as unbeatable as that. Still quite a bit of work for me to do training wise, especially if I can't make money anymore.

Wow!

After high scoring start to Q3, my boys went into such a hard lockdown that we're starting to field enquiries from health authorities in multiple states.

Restricted YSD to just 2 points in the last 6+ minutes.

They're gonna be ticked and come out hard in Q4 I feel. Weather the storm, and G3 is on the cards. Luck could still play a huge part in this series.

The thing is, they won't have a roster that good again ... But someone will. The B3 champ is always nearly that good.

This season I went 7-1, then got comfortably beaten by a team that then lost to a team that then comfortably lost to Goldsons.

B3 top players are insane. We're talking multiple 150+ TSP's, sometimes across all 5 positions. There's even multiple 160+ players that exist nowadays that never did in the past.

Twas a good win, worthy series to go to a G3.

When Omu scored on the alley-oop with 2:00 remaining to put me up 83-68, I literally said to myself out loud "it's okay to foul out Omu, you've done your job."

The very next line:

1:46 Foul called on Dennis Omu.

:D

Good luck in G3 Jay.

I knew that, aging problems aside, I'm still dealing with the back-to-back ABBL champions and battlers tournament champions here. Trying to 26-0 the season would've been a horrible idea. And so far MP5 has done almost everything right tactically so I've got a lot to think about over the next 22 hours.

Excellent game so far. Are HBG's guesses good enough or will YSD's brute strength bully through?

Darn, I did not play my hand well at all, was tossing up between what I did and just going inside again, but thought that HBG would hedge their bets on an inside call + 3-2 zone and switch up their own LI tactic if I dared GDP myself. MP5 has fair reason to feel robbed by this result.

Congrats Jay, well earned and deserved title.

I don't actually feel robbed at all, the only thing I have to feel a little upset about was the injury to Naharro which I think has proved the difference. Aging has been much more harsh to Simbajon (as I'm sure you'll see when I drop him on the TL shortly) than Naharro, throw in a player with more OD, more ID, and about twice as much IS, and it could have gone my way.

But that's BB, luck as I said in my last post plays a massive part. I honestly think I was lucky to beat Bryce twice in two years both times away from home, probably a 1-1 result was more fair, for me to go 2-0 was maybe 15-30% chance at best. This season, injuries and fouls didn't go my way, I played it tactically as well as I could (though seriously, I'm surprised Jay didn't GDP me inside, I was only ever tossing up between LI and LP).

Thanks for a great season and congrats again, good luck next year to everyone.

Looking back over the box score, the +/- is actually shocking. You were negative on all your starters, and your bench came through big. Whereas for me, most were pretty close, except that Sakhayan was +10, and Burridge somehow was -25 over just 19 minutes. He's not that bad of a player. Ah well.
