Syndicalists' BC 86 - 80 Pszczyna Team(59280342)

Heading into the 4th quarter with a 5 point lead, damian13ster and his team seemed rather confident, however a 4th quarter meltdown resulted in a massive road win for Syndicalists' BC and a devastating loss for Pszczyna Team. It seems the injuries are beginning to catch up to Pszczyna Team as they were able to win depsite of them the first two games, but not this one as they fell and fall to 2-1 on the season. Arlie Nellas led the wy for Fresh24s team with his 19 points, 19 rebounds and more importantly the team being +18 while he was on the court. Placido Barbiroli led Pszczyna Team with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, but it was not quite enough to get the victory.

蝴蝶Supreme 89 - 63 The Aristocrats(59280343)

*sigh* I hate reporting wins for Kumiko. So after being tied at half, 蝴蝶Supreme came out of the locker room and every player had what seemed to be whip scars on their backs and Kumiko walked out looking a little too happy for someone in a tie game. Either way, im sure Kumiko putting a whip in a case labelled "Punishment" was unrelated to the scars on the backs of the players. Anyways, 蝴蝶Supreme came out running and dominated the second half en route to a 26 point win. Antonio Echanove led the way with his 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 assists, in the big win. Roberto Fornasieri led the way for the Aristocrats with his 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Great job bbailin. I will take over saturday's writeups if thats ok with you. I have to admit, I didnt expect a loss in that game, but motion offence didnt do its job and LI proved to be dominant once more. I think that the real way to decrease its effectivness is to decrease effect it has on rebounding. This is what kills outside playing teams in game like mine. Injury did complicate couple of things, but it is mostly because of training. If I actually put my best lineup on the field that game would be a no-brainer

I agree, if you had put your best lineup you would have won that game, and I'm going back to passing training so I was fortunate to pick up a win there. However, I think the rebounding edge had more to do with the fact my players have much better rebounding than your players, particularly when the positions matched up (ie. Main's 17 over Arsenault's 15 is a big advantage). And I don't think this is an indication that inside offense is better than outside offense, but your team isn't built for a motion offense.

I tried the same thing last season. Same result. (55983108)

Those 2 games should be a lesson for my opponents, don't play Motion against me. :)

Increasing SB only solves a small part of the LI dominance problem. Teams still aren't going to succeed playing outside attacks if the top 3 point shooters are making only 20-30% of their attempts.

actually my team is built for motion offence. It is just not built for defence when I am not craming on the inside. Princeton has similar results. I am going to continue testing despite those results

I don't think Bradshaw has enough rebounding to be playing that position without expecting to have him lose the rebounding on a nightly basis by a lot. I think once you're done training REB, he will be in the future, just can't expect to win regularly with him there now.

*sigh* I hate reporting wins for Kumiko

And what is that supposed to mean mister? ;)

he doesnt, and he will never have enough RB for a PF, but unfortunately that is a cost of training. He has to play there, but it is a good opportunity to test outside offences

Just logged in for the first time in...well...a while because I got a few emails saying I was going bankrupt/inactive.

Selling all my players. Might return to BB to play competively again, but for now I'm tanking.
