Tar Team may take offense given their 5-1 record but their 2 actual away wins are against Beware and Mos Eisley, so not super impressive. I chalk 5-1 up more to their schedule so far, but they'll have plenty of chances to prove me wrong and show they can take down the top dogs.

The away win against Visionaries, with less effort, was a bit lucky, but maybe it will move my team up in the tier list. :)

NBBA Season 69 – Day 9 Recap (Saturday, August 9, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Imperials Score Rare Road Win, Home Teams Dominate Everywhere Else
Day 9 was a showcase of home-court advantage in the NBBA — with one bold exception. While every other matchup went to the home team, the Mos Eisley Imperials broke through with the only road win of the night, delivering an offensive explosion in a surprise soft-tank detour.

Imperials Drop 126 in Soft-Tank Surprise
Despite their soft-tanking status, Mos Eisley Imperials stunned Resurrected Fury on the road 126–116. W. Vaughn dominated inside with 24 points and 18 rebounds, leading the charge in a high-scoring battle. The win offered a rare reminder that this squad can still bring the firepower when they choose.

Splash Gang Crush Flashover at Home
Splash Gang overwhelmed Flashover 110–72, owning the glass with a season-high 72 rebounds and protecting the paint with 17 blocks. R. Lesickas anchored the defense with eight swats as Splash improved to 6–3, keeping pace in the Great 8 race.

LA Lions Maul Beware of Dogs
The LA Lions torched Beware of Dogs 125–65, riding P. Holtz’s MVP performance — 34 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks. The Lions’ relentless defense forced turnovers all night, improving to 4-5 while Beware of Dogs continued their slide.

Stark Contrast Stays Perfect
Stark Contrast improved to 9–0 with an 88–68 home win over Mill City Thunder. Once again, Stark proved they can control games from tip to buzzer, even against top-tier competition.

ETBU Tigers Edge Visionaries
In a nail-biter, ETBU Tigers held off the Visionaries 100–97 at home, thanks to late-game execution. The victory moves ETBU to 5–4, keeping them in the playoff mix.

Other Results
10inch Vertical eked out a 79–74 home win over TarTeam in a defensive slugfest, Kings Knights took down the Silverbacks 83–73 to avenge past matchups, and HumanFund topped Virginia Cavaliers 103–90 in a critical playoff-positioning battle.

Key Takeaways:
• Mos Eisley Imperials: Only team to win on the road in a night dominated by home squads.
• Home dominance: 7 of 8 games went to the hosts, highlighting the difficulty of winning away.
• Stark Contrast: Still the NBBA’s lone undefeated team at 9–0.
• Kings Knights: Finally beat the Silverbacks after multiple past defeats in their D2 rivalry.

Final Word:
Day 9 was a reminder of how brutal the NBBA road can be — just ask seven visiting teams who came up short. The Imperials’ outburst in Fury’s gym was the lone exception, proving that even a soft-tanker can crash the party when the shots fall and the paint is owned.

Chat GPTTTTTTTTT!!! :khanmeme:

Yeah my bad man. The chatGPT had an update and now I been fighting it. It won’t spit out the same summary format or track things properly as before, so some stuff might slip by as I don’t always properly get to proof read it.

NBBA Season 69 – Day 10 Recap (Tuesday, August 12, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Knights and Stark Take Rare Road Wins, Key Injuries Hit LA Lions and Cavaliers
Day 10 saw just two teams pull off the NBBA’s toughest feat — winning on the road — as Kings Knights and Stark Contrast triumphed away from home. Meanwhile, LA Lions and Virginia Cavaliers suffered key injuries that could impact their playoff pushes.

Kings Knights Shut Down Beware of Dogs
Kings Knights clamped down defensively in a 106–75 road win over Beware of Dogs, racking up 11 blocks and holding their opponents to 36% from the field. The victory solidifies their playoff positioning while showing they can win outside their own arena.

Stark Contrast Still Unbeaten
Stark Contrast kept their flawless record alive at 10–0 with a 115–88 road win over Mos Eisley Imperials. Even against a soft-tanking opponent, Stark showed no let-up, dominating all four quarters to remain the NBBA’s only perfect team.

Silverbacks Overpower Splash Gang in Rebounding Rout
The Silverbacks demolished Splash Gang 95–32, controlling the boards with a season-high 70 rebounds while holding Splash to just 21% shooting. A. Masters dominated the paint, setting the tone early in a statement home victory.

Mill City Thunder Roll Past LA Lions, Lose Key Guard
Mill City Thunder handled business at home, beating the LA Lions 106–81. W. Ruojia patrolled the rim with 6 blocks, while Q. Quiroz poured in points to push Mill City to 6–4. LA’s night went from bad to worse when backup SG Yuri Siracusa went down with a mild ankle sprain, sidelining him for 4–7 days. The Lions fall to 4–6.

Flashover Blasts HumanFund in Offensive Showcase
Flashover lit up the scoreboard in a 132–108 home win over HumanFund, riding P. Randle’s MVP-worthy stat line of 29 points, 20 rebounds, and 8 assists. The win snaps HumanFund’s momentum and pushes Flashover closer to the playoff picture.

Visionaries Demolish Resurrected Fury
The Visionaries dismantled Resurrected Fury 122–28 at home, dishing out 39 assists in one of the most lopsided games of the season. Fury’s struggles continued as they fell to 0–10.

TarTeam Defends Home Court vs ETBU
In a tactical chess match, TarTeam edged ETBU Tigers 118–106 on their home floor. ETBU nearly stole it late, but TarTeam’s hot shooting in crunch time sealed the deal, improving them to 8–2.

Cavaliers Handle 10inch Vertical at Home, Lose Starting SF
Virginia Cavaliers notched a 104–87 home win over 10inch Vertical, improving to 6–4 and strengthening their Great 8 playoff positioning. The win came at a cost — starting SF and recently acquired veteran Charles Nguyen suffered a pulled groin and will miss 11–21 days.

Key Takeaways
• Stark Contrast remains perfect at 10–0, showing no signs of slowing down.
• The LA Lions and Cavaliers both take hits to depth with injuries to Siracusa and Nguyen.
• Beware of Dogs, Fury, and Imperials continue their tanking trajectories, with the Imperials showing occasional flashes of competitiveness.

Final Word
Road victories remain a rare and valuable currency in the NBBA, and on Day 10, the teams that earned them strengthened their playoff cases. But with injuries beginning to pile up for playoff chasers like the Lions and Cavaliers, depth and roster flexibility may prove as important as talent in the season’s second half.

NBBA Season 69 – Day 11 Recap (Saturday, August 16, 2025)
by Buzz Beat Daily

Mill City Thunder Grind Out Road Win, TarTeam and ETBU Deliver Blowouts
Day 11 was defined by two extremes — one of the NBBA’s rarest feats as Mill City Thunder stole a road win at Kings Knights, and two historic demolitions with TarTeam and ETBU Tigers posting triple-digit blowouts. Elsewhere, contenders like Stark Contrast, Splash Gang, and 10inch Vertical kept pace with comfortable victories.

Mill City Thunder Outlast Kings Knights on the Road
In a clash of future NT stars, Q. Quiroz and G. Short squared off for the first time as rivals. Mill City prevailed 83–71 in one of the season’s toughest environments, grinding out a defensive battle to climb to 7–4. For Kings Knights, the loss at home drops them to 5–6, highlighting how crucial protecting their arena will be in the playoff race.

TarTeam Obliterates Resurrected Fury
TarTeam authored one of the most lopsided results in recent NBBA memory with a 153–19 home victory. J. Wheatley led the charge, drilling 8 threes and finishing with a league-best 48 efficiency. TarTeam piled up 53 assists and 18 steals in a total dismantling that left Fury winless at 0–11.

ETBU Tigers Maul Cavaliers
ETBU stormed back above .500 with a 135–39 destruction of Virginia Cavaliers. Kangshan owned the glass with 22 rebounds as the Tigers suffocated their opponents from start to finish. The Cavaliers’ offense sputtered badly, dropping them to 6–5 and raising concerns about their consistency down the stretch.

Stark Contrast Controls Visionaries
Stark Contrast stayed perfect at home, defeating the Visionaries 97–75. Opportunistic play after in-game injuries to the visitors helped Stark maintain control throughout, improving to 11–0 and remaining the NBBA’s only unbeaten team.

Splash Gang Keeps Dogs at Bay
Splash Gang protected their home floor with a 106–77 win over Beware of Dogs, using their guard-heavy pace to build an early cushion they never surrendered.

LA Lions Back to 5–6 with Win over Imperials
The LA Lions took care of business against the tanking Mos Eisley Imperials, winning 113–78. The victory pushes LA to 5–6 as they continue to fight for playoff positioning.

HumanFund Survives Silverbacks Push
HumanFund had to work harder than expected but closed strong in a 99–86 win over the Silverbacks. The result helps them keep pace in the Great 8’s playoff hunt.

10inch Vertical Crushes Flashover
10inch Vertical flexed their power in a 133–45 blowout, dominating the boards and suffocating Flashover into one of the lowest outputs of the season.

Key Takeaways
• Mill City Thunder’s road win over Kings Knights underscores how rare and valuable away victories are in the NBBA.
• TarTeam and ETBU Tigers delivered historic blowouts, exposing major offensive struggles for Fury and Cavaliers.
• Stark Contrast remains the only undefeated squad at 11–0.
• The middle playoff pack is tightening, with several teams jostling between 5–6 and 7–4 records.

Final Word
Day 11 showcased both the grind and the glamour of NBBA basketball — Mill City’s defensive road victory proving the value of toughness, and TarTeam’s record-breaking explosion highlighting the league’s offensive firepower. As the standings tighten, every win at home — and especially on the road — grows more decisive.
