Well I do rank dead last in opponent's FT% :D

It's in the nbba season 56 forum for this season!

The defensive and offensive efficiency ratings are just pulled straight from the buzzermanager's "statistics by team" page. From just a quick look, my guess as to why Indy's defense is lower ranked than you may expect is: while they rank top 5 in ppg allowed, they rank much lower in steals per game, blocks per game, and rebounds per game. Putting them at 7.

And I’m just saying I told you

Looking closer, that box score is bananas. I never have been shut out from 3, the lack of scoring inside and by my wingmen is completely baffling, the -20 FTA, and my scrub rookie PG got a -8 in 0 minutes?!

I had a GS and effort advantage -- I think that explains some of the FT disparity and how even Becattini was bottled up.

The wonder to me is that my team was able to keep it close long enough for Torgyan to foul out after he took out my center 7 minutes in. Watching him and my foul-loving trainee whale on each other for a couple quarters was fairly entertaining though lol

That’s the part that I also least get. How does he even foul out being that much better of a player? Aggressiveness factor just makes some players garbage.

Plasma, didn’t you and I take the Guessing 101 class together? I think we both almost failed that one. 🤣

50 FT?!?!

LOL. If he had some decent free throw shooters you were beat for sure. 30/50 in the pros is almost Hack A Shaq territory. 🤣

Big changes to the system this week: Power rankings are now calculated on a 1000pt system, based on 5 categories as follows:

Composite Team Score: 400pts
Cup Performance: 100pts
Salary: 100pts
Team Record: 200pts
Point Differential: 200pts

* The composite team score is a new system I created and is based on the team's offensive and defensive rankings for all off/def categories listed in buzzermanager. If you want to know more about it, send me a bbmail!

*off/def rankings are now based on this composite system instead of the efficiency score from buzzermanager like before.

Notes for this week:
Indy Crusader's defense is now top 5 in the new system :p
The great 8 seems to greatly outclass the big 8 despite 2 bot teams.
An underrated team to watch out for is the Green Bay Gunners: They have won 5 of their last 6 after starting 0-5 and even posted a 14ID rating in their BBM game.
3 teams seem to be separating themselves as best in the league: US Daggers, Flashover, and Deronimo.

Let me know if you have any suggestions moving forward and I hope everyone has a great week!

Wow 59 FT to 6.
