I'm sorry Dart, but what you mean with BB, BBB and BBC ?? Are these word plays by quoting team initials ? Please elaborate.
In any case, i agree when you say we are heading for one of the most open competitions for a long time, with no apparent favourite for the championship.

In the boxscore below the standings teams are referred to by their initials and I selected the wrong game because of those 3 with a very similar spelling :p

About favourites, I'd say you're one of them, and Joe would have been if he had played everything for it. I also would have pointed out Tumasstars, but he's off to a poor start. Of course, nothing is done after 2 games, and final rankings owe a lot to teams who are soon out of the tournament.

This is almost the only thing we're sure of : we shouldn't see a double this season. I think Cup and championship winners will be 2 different teams.

Yes, i agree on that.

It's very likely, indeed. And even if I've said my goal was the tournament, that won't be possible for me. My training is too constraining, leaving the tournament early would help a lot. So my goal is to reach the allstar week.

I understand you very well Joe. It's not easy to train young talents and remain competitive for trophees at the same time. At some point, choices have to be made.

I obviously went for it, but I got lucky in bringing in 100 % of the games so far.

The only drawback of this strategy is obviously training which is a little bit more difficult to pull out, but so far I'm still very happy with how things turned out.

Obviously that would be a very bad move not to capitalize on it, and I am now hoping to keep HCA for the play-offs !

I'm still convinced I could've won 3 games, if I were a bit luckier. Unfortunately, things didn't go my way and relegation already seems unavoidable...
-Shoes: with 4 players fouling out, this game was a clear loss
-TumaSStars: I knew I would lose, but it still came down to the last quarter
-BC Tienen: OT loss with Vercaigne fouling out the last seconds of regulation
-Transmission: blew a 10p halt-time lead, with one of his best players fouled out 30min in

I'll likely won't improve my starting 5, but save money for training of future NT players.
However, once this first victory in BBBL comes (if ever), the champagne will even taste better :)

First season in BBBL is a tough nut to crack.

There a some little things you might have done better (I think normalling at my place wasn't a sound decision, you might have saved TS there), but globally your choices were sound (that game @ Tienen was particularly impressive). You weren't lucky in the Transmission game.

But I really think that the lack of a dedicated SF is hammering your efforts. You tried Hon Kee, Al-Jahramai, Emul, Ronsin, and Coelus. None of them did paticularly well at this spot, maybe Hon Kee was the best but you badly need him at SG, so he's not a choice. A dedicated SF would have made your life easier.

Another thing is fouling out. You end up your games with way too many fouls : one possible explanation is that your players slightly lack defense, therefore they foul when trying to stop the player they're guarding on.

This might not save you this season, but should you go down, you know what you have to look into to have a successfull second run in BBBL.
