1. She can go fuck herself right in her ass since she doesn't have me to do that for her anymore.
2. That ain't happening with this one.

I crunched all the numbers in the East/West league with real life numbers and they were spot on. I passed the info along to Dave.

Also, a quick look at the distribution for 3 pointers in the league now compared to last season in the NBA seems just fine after a quick look.

Of course we're better at the top and worse at the bottom, but everything in between seems fairly in line.

eventually we'll likely tune it down a little once everyone gets used to the game and we have a higher % of guys shooting above norms. no need to change something that isn't broken right now.

Thank god.

Its like playing a college game.

Yeah you could probably pass for 5000.... Never mind.

Hit up Doctor, I know he has some good sliders.

Blazers get 1st win over tough Magic squad. D.Will goes for 29 7 and 3 to lead the way. Turnovers were the difference as the Blazers were able to take a 20 point lead mid-way through the game after getting some run outs from steals. Gg AJ.

I think we need to make sure we aren't turning all the settings up all the way on some things. There's not a team in the NBA that plays high pressure D and then fastbreak offense all game. I've ran into that a couple times. It completely fucks up the flow of the game, then it's like playing a street ball game.

if you have issues with gameplay, send me an AIM or a PM.

i certainly agree with you on what you're saying, but i'd rather handle things in house

No worries. I'm not outing anyone. Like I said just something to keep in mind - my opinion.

One thing I'm still struggling with is getting the playbooks working. Plus, I've been in a couple games where plays just pop up and I don't know what play is being called.

check your coaches settings ... for some reason sometimes it goes to auto playcalling and sometimes it turns off the play art. i check before each game.

as for your concerns. they are understood and noted. everyone plays a different style but like anything else in the ndl, we are shooting for moderation.

i am a pretty blunt and honest person. we have some people in our league who care way too much about winning and not enough about play a fun-fair game. they are the same way in every game they play unfortunately and the same guys that always get complaints against them. if i continue to get complaints about the same guys it won't be a democratic process, they'll be gone. this game is way too fun and the league is way too enjoyable to let a few bad apples bring it down cause they think they think they get an award if they win the league. some of the questions i am asked about gameplay are hysterical and make me wonder how people don't realize that when they are trying to skim around the rules that they are probably the guys breaking the rules. either way, like i said, your concerns are noted and if i hear more complaints i'll discuss them with AJ and Shel and others and i'll move to the waiting list.

hopefully it never gets to that

Gonna have my connection fixed and go back to direct either tomorrow or Saturday when I have the day off. Sorry fellas.

I know it's not remotely the only way to judge jumpers, but it's all we can go on.

In your 3 games, guys are shooting 9 of 29, or 31% from the 3point line against you.

Just sayin...

How come the league website has Portland in the eastern conference?

Wasnt an issue when you kicked my dick in the dirt the first go around. I mean christ sakes 0 points in the first quarter.

I should've waited to play you, maybe I wouldn't have had so many bad shots/passes in the second half

2 tough losses last night for the Nets.

First, we lose to the Mavs on a Kobe runner/floater with 1 second left , but a helluva game. Second, we play the Blazers tough but go home with a 75-70 loss. Moral victory here for me since Talented beat me 61-26 in my first ladder and I had 20 at the end of 1Q.

2 L's regardless, but better than the normal beatdowns we endure.
