my team is pretty interesting right now, just training but stil a top team. I'm not even sure what the best lineup is as I'm spreading the inutes and games out for everyone. Take Negron with his POGs, he could be in the lead but I don't have hi playing everygame ad like saldana and others, even starting all the games they do play. no real big stars but a very flexible and deep team. My original team would probly of gone undefeated butjust how things go, restructure and build up long term security.

That's what I got, a very deep team. Playing different players in the starting line-up. Hence why we only have one player in the states category. We don't really play for undefeated seasons. It's all about training and putting players in position. Some of these guys have been apart of this team since 2015 (I think!) And there up in age now (32,33) so that's why I try to sit them more and play the younger guys. Going through a change, while still trying to win ball games.
We feel good about our chances this season. Not over confident, but still good. We got the experience that's for sure.

but a step back this week. Only 6 free throws???

You should enter the playoff bracket after tonight's game against the 7th seed (computer team)

Brooklyn gets 2nd seed seattle

No way.

Good game Bombers. Our games this season home/away were very similar. Home court definitely means alot between us.

This Tuesday's game between Seattle and Bombers is as huge as it gets for a regular season game.

Bombers win-they keep their chances alive for the 2nd seed and home court in the first round. (Would also help me out alot too! Pretty much clinch the #1 spot)

Seattle wins- pretty much closing the door and nailing it shut on the bombers. Guaranteeing the bombers a road playoff game between either seattle/foes.
Making the last game of the season huge-but having the PD by 200 plus,Seattle would have to beat me and take over the PD. Foes after this win tonight might have already sealed the deal.

Edit:not exactly a 200 plus PD against me n seattle

I just caught a nice break. The last two minutes of the game were nuts. I was going to make a roster upgrade heading into this game, but I overslept and missed the auction lol. It was a 60k salary, 36 year old PF. His skills were estimated at 37k salary, but I probably would've won him for no more than 150k, which would've been worth it in my book. I ended up deciding to pass on a roster upgrade and take my chances against VB. I won by 1 point in a quite ridiculous fashion.

This gives me some breathing room, but by no means is my #1 seed a lock.

Didn’t watch the game, but wierd how my offense completely crapped out second half, not sure why only Saldana took shots,
Looking at other games it seems an odd thing.
Of course some parts were made due to training like not having Negron as a starter
I think that would of been huge diffrence

Didn’t help Reagan getting hurt, big diffrence between him and other guy as well

Reagan getting hurt was definitely a big reason I was able to stay in the game, as well as your substitution/training setup. I think if Saldana played the whole game, I would've lost. He was killing us.

The last couple things that happened: J.Hagen got called for travelling with 14 secs remaining, when we were down by 1. We fouled Saldana, he missed both free throws. We got the rebound. Bellamy( if I remember correctly) took a shot and missed. Barnett got the offensive rebound, put it up and missed. Moody got the offensive rebound and made the buzzerbeater to win the game.

There's a few things that might've been the reason Saldana took so many shots. Without knowing your players' stats these are my guesses.
#1 Saldana 's passing rating is low. Once he got the ball in his hands he was having trouble finding an open teammate.
#2 Saldana's scoring ability is much better than his teammates' in our matchup.
#3 Saldana's scoring ability is so good that he puts everything up.
#4 Saldana managed to get into mismatches and exploited my players that aren't good at defending him in those situations. i.e. He scored inside against poor inside defenders, and outside against poor outside defenders. I didn't really pay attention to who he was scoring on, so I can't confirm this.

Fun Fact: There are currently only eight players still in the running for Player of the Year.

Foes ain't concerned about player of the year. Or states, I got 2 guys in the states and the 2nd player hardly in the scoring bracket. And we're 16-2, so how much does "states" really mount to anything.
Foes have had the mindset from the beginning of this season, getting back to the finals for the 3rd straight season or burst. We don't play for individual states.
