Surely, they are a huge asset to your team. But wouldn't you be delighted if you had turned them into regular BBBL starters ? After all, I also thought that a 18-yo trainee wouldn't fit in a team tailored to get results, but now I think I was wrong, and it is doable (though not always simple, that's for sure) to craft a player from scratch to suit your requirements.

Not to mention that with time passing, your trainee slowky turns into an acceptable sub, then an acceptable starter ... then an acceptable world class player, if there is enough dedication AND luck with injuries, of course.

Double post, sorry : before I thought that having an already partly trained player was mandatory, but I don't think this is right. However, you can forget about training more than one starter at a time or you should forget getting results or getting training ...

Perhaps the best would be to have 3 players, a solid starter, a sub, and a trainee, whose training plans match - or 2 solid starters if you want to play it safe, but sometimes it is very difficult to know in advance what the training plan will be.

Nice win Dartreb ;)

Even if I had not real chances, I started to watch the game closely in the 4QT when I was only 10 or 11 points behind, who knows, with no faults (so big luck), your starting 5 would have been stuck on the bench ^^ and perhaps I would have been able to grab an OT.
But it would have been crazy :p

I've hesitated until the deadline to set my defense tactic, and then I took a bet...
But with Ankic injury, I mismatched my SG & PG, awful inside shot for the SG, with inside tactic...not ideal.

Anyway! I've won the 4QT! And that"s a hell of an achievement!:p

It's on that very positive note that I would like to say goodbye to you all, it was a nice experience again to play against/with you this season, next time I''ll try to build a more competitive team a bit earlier ;)

See you soon!

Nice game, 16 points isn't that much.

I hesitated a long time about playing PON or POS, but with Antic injured (replaced by Sisandes but his form was awful) and most of all Fong Cheng Qian gone, your SF spot was becoming very weak and you were coming up against Skret who is extremely good - I was getting very confident. Maybe you should have kept him until after this game.

Funny thing is, I knew you would be taking risks by going full GDP, and with your outside players decimated I reallly thought you would be hitting a R&G GDP, or at least predict an outside play.

Don't overreact to your PG / SG switch, the real problem is going full inside defense on an outside play.

Too bad your started to be competitive to late in the season, but if you are still healthy (financially speaking) there is no reason you couldn't come back very soon.

About the final, I am amazed not to play Amenra, don't take it bad eagle, but I really thought you wouldn't stand a chance against Amenra. Congratulations to you for winning a game I wouldn't have bet on !

No problem Dartreb, i'm used to being the underdog and i'm equally amazed i won against AmenRa

Anyway, great win for my little Eagles today against AmenRa in the semi-final. We probably don't stand much chance to win the against Kelmis in the final, but hey...you never know what might happen in one single game...

And even if we lose the final as expected, i'm still real proud of the achievement of my little Eagles this season...

Several small, though significant mistakes cost me HCA, e.g. the first away game @Ventola, and most of all the home TV game against Gringalets (but I deserve all credit for this mess of course).

If Amenra and I both don't mess up, we should meet ourselves in the final, but no doubt a superior team + HCA should bring static success. Well done !

Kelmis Spartans are :

10 seasons in BBBL, 10 times playoff contender, 4 time Cup finalist ... and 1 Cup win ! :p

It feels soooo good to finally win a first trophy, I've been waiting for it since an awfully long time. And I'll see the BBB from the inside ayt least once :)

About the game, it much more tight then I would have though. I switched tactics too often, and I really feared using the GDP. That might be legit since I had the better team, but with Vaes and Dabnys fouling out our very early the 4th quarter was a total nightmare.

Well played Eagle.

Well played Eagle.

Thank you Dartreb, and congratulations for winning the cup !

Indeed, it was a very close game, as i managed to come back early in the 4rd quarter, after being behind for about 12
points before the 4rd quarter. But in the beginning of the 4rd quarter I made a 11-0 run, and came as close as 1 point, and at that moment i really thought that i would even go over you and take the lead, but it wasn't meant to be, and in the end you proved to be the better team.

But the game was very tight in the end, and my Eagles were actually quite close to winning the cup for the first time, i'm proud of my team even though we didn't win...

Congratz Dartreb! What a achievement, you completely deserve it! ;)
