Thank you for the introduction!

I very excited to be here and I am very much looking forward to competing with the best! My goal for this season is to survive, and as mentioned that won't be easy.

I think both conferences will be difficult battles. Both sides have strong teams and every game will be a tough one.

Interestingly, the red side currently has the 3 highest salary teams, and 4 of the top 6. It'll be interesting to see if the red side can pick up a EBBL title for the first time since season 52 (which was BC Zalgiris).

By the way, has anyone heard anything from Elmacca? He hasn't logged in since 21st December?

Good luck to everyone

That's a long time for elmacca not to log in. Hope nothings amiss. The EBBL wouldn't be the same without its longest tenured team.

Damn @ the Elmacca news, that's not good. If he's also ElMacca on twitter then he tweeted on 12th Jan...maybe just done with BB? Would still be a shame of course, but less of the worrying if anything bad happened to the person which I find is natural if they disappear without announcing it.

Considering I've got the highest salary on the blue side my aim has to be to actually win the EBBL this time. Less focus on training/the cup if necessary.

Welcome to everyone new!

Hopefully he’ll return at some point, would be a great shame to see him go inactive

Good luck all.

I noticed that about Elmacca over Christmas, it's extremely unusual for him (never happened before). I do hope he isn't lost to us; if he is, I do hope he is ok.

An away win shooting 3-23 from behind the line and getting outrebounded by 20? Most definitely a repeatable formula for success that! But we'll take it..

The ElMacca on twitter is not our Elmacca so no closer to knowing if he'll come back / is ok sadly.

I also noticed a couple of other ex-EBBL teams went bot last week - Donny Hawks & Extremadabra. I don't like change / please can we stop this.

Game of two defences I think, both teams didn’t shoot well at all.

I can’t think of any other ways to contact / check Elmacca is ok, let’s hope he logs back in when he gets the email about being inactive for a few weeks.

I also realised Extremadabra went BOT after seeing one of his previous players on the transfer list. I didn’t notice Doncaster did though, that is a shame… Panathinikos Bristol who was in the EBBL last season only has a few days to log in too.

Such a shame we're losing so many former EBBL managers.

Panathinaikos Bristol sold all their players and now only have the 3 they drafted, I don't think they plan on coming back.

I worry about Elmacca, I'm sure he would have said something if he was leaving the game.

As for the league, feel my coach screwed me over a little bit as most of my bench played more minutes than my starters but a win is a win, and that's all that matters. Plus I'm top of the conference, I need to make the most of it while I can

So 2 games in and I'm first in the EBBL, I did not expect that! I don't expect it to last long as I've had a pretty easy first 2 games.

Still missing Elmacca (it's been almost a month now), but he has managed to go 2-0! I don't expect that to last after his GS takes a hit after his main guys play their 3rd game of the week tonight. Also surprised to see Vecx unbeaten with one of the lowest team salaries in the league, and then js8 is bottom at 0-2 with one of the stronger teams in the league! We could be in for a weird and exciting season!

One interesting thing I saw is that the top 4/5 attendance incomes for the first games were all on the blue side. Is the game biased towards that side or what!

Does anyone have any thoughts about the new tactic improvements? I know Vecx used OI a few times last season with some success, as well as Donkeys this season (to less success). II also getting a boost hopefully can offer a better alternative to inside offences now as well. I'm more hopeful the defences are better as only being able to choose between M2M and 3-2 isn't ideal in a inside dominated world.

I thought the changes to tactics weren't being introduced till mid-season.

I thought the tactic adjustments were from the start of the season but the new stamina system was after the allstar game?
