Power Rankings
I will be only do non-bots lol..

Not trying to say that I am the best, but as the season is now..it does look like it.

1. Bunny Humpers (9-0)
- Not a really tough decision, no other team has yet to scare this team, but we will see how tough this team really is after his game with War Eagles, which is coming up.
2. Kittanning Tornadoes (8-1)
- Even though War Eagles has a better record because of the recent add-ons this team may be one team that will stop the Bunny Humpers. But we will see who is truly the better team as the Kittanning Tornadoes and the War Eagles match up on Tuesday 8/30.
3. War Eagles (9-0)
- With a higher record, but a lower spot, hopefully the manager does not hate me, but hopefully he can prove me wrong on Tuesday.
4. The Erie Razors (7-2)
- Beat the Avenel Falcons early in the season, but I believe this team belongs at the #4 spot, very steady team, might surprise you.
5. Avenel Falcons (7-2)
- After starting off 4-0, lost to better teams such as the War Eagles and The Erie Razors and should be in this spot.
6. Green Mambas (4-5)
- Even though lil kings has a better record, this spot belongs to them, even though they lost to the lil kings, I believe that was a fluke, however they could prove me wrong..
7. lil kings (5-4)
- A good non-bot team, can compete with Green Mambas so we will see.

That normal was for the cup game and I am kinda busy training Cliff Pringle, so if my minutes for him go wrong, and it just happens to be the week where I play you again, some things might go bad for me.

No, the game against Chicago Taurus. It seems improbable to believe that anything other than a change from Take it Easy to Normal would cause your ratings to change from mediocre (medium) inside scoring, mediocre (high) perimeter defense, mediocre (high) inside defense, and inept (low) rebounding in your 8/23 league game against lil kings to mediocre (high) inside scoring, average (medium) perimeter defense, respectable (medium) inside defense (!), and mediocre (medium) rebounding in the 8/29 game against Chicago Taurus. And Cliff Pringle is a pretty outstanding prospect and actually my #1 choice, except you took him 10 picks before I had a chance. Are you training him with an eye for the U21 team?

I'll admit I was definitely surprised to see you pay nearly a quarter of a million for a 21yo with less than $6000 salary. I figured he had just popped several times so far this season and had higher skills than his salary indicated. It's nice to know that's probably not the case

Your rankings are pretty fair. Nobody can really argue that, as things stand now, you're the team to beat. I would personally think my team is better than War Eagles, not only because of personal bias but also because if you look at our rosters, he pretty much has only one good player with 10k+ salary in his center, who I respectfully submit my center would completely own, both offensively and especially defensively. And this reflects in team ratings, where I have awful(high)-respectable(low)-inept(low)-mediocre(medium)-inept(medium)-inept(high) to his awful(medium)-mediocre(low)-pitiful(high)-mediocre(low)-inept(medium)-inept(low) in our last league game. But he has the better record (although the Tornadoes are fixing to change that come Tuesday night), so it's definitely debatable.

Oh nononono I TIE'd both, like I said I am training and I take care of my gameshape, so I "tank" some of my games, which is why some of my games have lower ratings. Since this league is mostly bot, I can just put my subs in as starters for some games.

And I didn't want to show him but...

Owner: Bunny Humpers

Weekly salary: $ 5 784
Role: draws a paycheck
(BuzzerBeta)

DMI: 12400
Age: 21
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
Game Shape: inept
Jump Shot: sensational Jump Range: mediocre
Outside Def.: strong Handling: prolific
Driving: prominent Passing: awful
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: atrocious
Rebounding: inept Shot Blocking: awful
Stamina: mediocre Free Throw: strong

Experience: pitiful

I'll see what I can turn him into.

Well that's...discouraging. What would your defense like if you were playing normal or worse yet, crunch time??? And your new SF is pretty decent looking. Not entirely sure why they list his best position as SF and not SG, since he has no inside skills worth speaking of. But still, sensational JS and prolific handling/prominent driving makes him dangerous. Why do you say that it was a stupid decision to spend 200K on him? He seems totally worth it. The only question is how he fits into your mostly look inside offense, although I did notice you played RNG in your cup game. Unless you plan to do more of that, though, I don't see how he fits. He'll still be a weapon, though. I would say that I might as well screw my chances of winning this season. How is your defense that freaking good? Your salaries aren't ridiculously high. After the season I'd be really curious to know what kind of defensive ratings your starters had, if you're willing to share.

Man I missed the matches tonight because I went out, but your game with War Eagles looked exciting. As I thought you did beat him in a very close game, nice win!

Yeah I'll admit I underestimated him. His ID rating was much higher this week, as was his rebounding. Also he had HC and my SF who is my leading scorer was in foul trouble the whole game. He played like 5 minutes the first half. So that didn't help. Plus my new C was unable to score the ball effectively. But my new PG had a pretty nice game, and my forwards came on strong at the end of the game. But it was real close. I was really nervous. You're definitely going to win the title this year, barring a miracle.

Wow I had no idea that you guys had so much money...War Eagles gets a new 8K SG for 200K. This will either help his outside shooting to mix up his offense instead of running LP/LI, or will help with passing so the ball can get to his bigs.

We just lost another team, as the lil kings went bot...sooo yeah..

I might lose to War Eagles because of my next cup game, I will have to normal my cup opponent, and TIE War Eagles with low enthusiasm, so yeah..I might lose.
