good win over Brooklyn kKings, but HORRIBLE loss in Cup play. problem was, most of my starters had 60+ minutes for the week. only had two good players on the court. also played PIC while he played CT.

Now I can focus on Game Shape, training and league wins.

Yeah!

I have a tough Cup match coming up. If he goes CT, I'm dead in the water. I care more about training, but the extra cash is nice...

after winning two straight league games I was feeling like a champ.....now two straight losses and I feel I need to attend the Phil Jackson Pro Managers Class and then rethink the rest of the season.

1 HOI 65
8 IND 51
(TV) Final

Great 8 took 7 of 8 games- won all except Hoi vs. Indy mismatch.

So no change in our conference standings.

All of the Great 8 teams had home court advantage though. But in all of the games, Great 8 teams won by double digits, except Indy.

Helps explain why a team (me) that was just promoted is in first in the Big 8 (meaning it's obviously the weaker division. I'm just happy it helps sell out my stadium...

I feel very fortunate to have been relegated to the big 8 side of this league. I was prepared to spend big time to promote back to D.II but the weakness has allowed me to get some great young talent on my team and buy some time before having to spend.

That's one piece of advice I will give everyone who wants to promote to D.II. you better have some young talent or you will be a mediocre team stumbling whining trying to improve your team. I personally went for it all and lost in the championship in D.II about 4 seasons ago and my team has been horrible since because I didn't have youth. Youth is an asset that can get you where you want to go.

Please explain what you mean. Are you saying that you must keep young trainees in the pipeline?

Yes, young trainees are an asset. They can help your team in multiple ways. One being the ability to sell for lots of money to buy players to contend. The next is the ability to have players play better than their salary ( given they are being trained). And another way they help is by giving you the opportunity to train them to fix weaknesses ( example-if your defense needs improved you can make it better).

If you do sell a young guy, make sure to have another to take his place to give you continuous flexibility.

I made the mistake of selling all my youth and bought older players to compete. However, during that time I didn't train either so my flexibility was destroyed. Then I was just hanging around in D.II with no way to get back to being a competitive team because my older guys couldn't sell for much so I didn't have any way to get better.
