My is that I should have a better team in the second half where all teams value are more real and not spoiled by the cup games, and will not change my training strategy... I am pretty sure it will work long term, how long ... don't know :-)
In the game against you Fluff, my PG has a terrible AVERAGE GS due to the previous week overtime CUP game that I even had lost. He took almost 50 shots... for now I am not planning to buy a new PG / SG.
Nevermind, let's see what the future games will bring.
