Something is wrong...the Serpents are on a 3 game losing streak, and I can't even take the #1 spot while it is happening!

No- I actually agree with ya King JAmes- I actually do like him as a player- he is a beast, and he gets shafted by the media-

I just thought it was a funny line- the kings a man in reality- and ur team, wont be shedding tears till playoff team, u've one a great job adapting to D.4 life, much much better than say...me

Well thanks a lot, I do agree with you about the media though. Ive pretty much accomplished my goal of not relegating this year. I have a few more things to complete on my agenda and it will be a solid roster for now. I know you aint gonna give up now, you will try to take that playoff spot from me, and I have to say that I wont give it up without a fight. All in all, good luck this season.

LSD FTW

Looks like won this year. Let's see who promotes for the icing on the cake.

Also, the media doesn't shaft LBJ, he deserves every ounce he gets. I think he is a spoiled brat, but he stepped up this year. Finally got over the edge. Dwhistle is still a b*tch, though.

Sry guys, I let my conference down big time- this was a rebuilding year for me- in every way really, reteaching myself the game.

Its harder in D.4...go figure. Especially this D.4 league

How the hell am I still in 3rd? I haven't won a meaningful game in almost a month and I'm 6-9. The way I've been playing and managing I don't deserve anything better than 5th.

I'm just curious why you think LBJ is a spoiled brat? He didn't come from a spoiled background (i.e. Grant Hill, Kobe Bryant, etc)....he came from a single parent home, and struggled hand to mouth till he started getting $$ from basketball.

He's not a hateful person or have an attitude problem, he generally says/does the 'right' thing, he a family guy...whats the problem?

My guess why some folks hate on him is his swagger. I think some people see that swagger on the court/off court....he's an intelligent guy, well spoken...and they just don't like him. Its nonsense to me....but I root for intelligent, self-less players like LBJ.

I am a Cavaliers fan and did not appreciate how he handled the last year or two of his tenure there. We defended him for multiple years when stories came out of him being a coddled, entitled jerk who was only concerned with his bramd. The ESPN special used to stab Cleveland in the back on prime time TV and subsequent "not 1, not 2, etc" fireworks and hydralic lift show made me feel betrayed and sick that I defended him all those years. Then hearing slipped quotes from him saying he, Bosh and Wade had planned it all, more or less, in 2008 and it just finally came to fruition.

The whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth. He was in Cleveland for 7 years and did nothing in the offseason to recruit others or work on his game. When he couldn't win the big one in Cleveland he blamed it on the lack of teammates around him (65 win seasons aren't done from bad teams), then he couldn't win in Miami with a better supporting cast so only had himself to blame and actually put the time in. He came out hard and carried Miami to the title so I will begrudgingly accept that he has grown up a bit.

But I still don't have to root for the guy.
