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.

This has been a very good week for me to say the least. Bombers beat Seattle. Which opened up a 3 game lead for me over Seattle (I have a better PD, which is how I got a 3 game lead)

NYL beats the Risers, which gives me a 2 game lead for the best record in the whole league, and home court through out the playoffs!!
Great time to be a Foes fan!

I had to play Moody at Center for training minutes. It's probably why I lost, but VB dropping a game to Shlubs keeps things the same for now. Assuming I'm also going to lose to Shlubs, my next game is a must win. Then 1st seed comes down to PD.

Eligible players for PoY remaining:6

It's all about that training. And I figured before I even looked at that states, that moody didn't have a big game. Because your team goes as he goes.

I think another lost by your team would almost clinch my overall #1 spot for the entire league. As long as I can win in the playoffs, all our games will be at home, and finally have game 1 of the finals at my place!

I hope moody improves for you this week, make this lost count!

Do you realize your preseason ranks for the big 8 is dead on? Through 19 games

Well those were only for week 1, but its a pretty cool coincidence. Had I not brought Shah in, it probably would've been completely accurate.

The Beats manager hasn't logged on since the 2nd. It would be terrible if they go bot right as the playoff starts. Not only would Sharks miss out on a spot they deserve, but Foes would have a slight advantage in the Playoffs, since they could play at "Playoff Normal" enthusiasm in round 1. They probably still could even if Beats doesn't go bot, but Foes might not risk playing with less enthusiasm against an actual player.

This entire thing is irrelevant if Sharks get an upset. But assuming the upset doesn't happen, let's hope the Beats keep their team in tact for round 1.
