Honestly, their team is below average in the eastern conference, but they keep destroying teams who on paper look better than them. Originally I was looking forward to this game for a easy win, but dang, the way they handled the Ballbusters, I'm not so confident anymore.

Does the 100% chemistry really have that big of an effect, or are they the best coaches in the league?

I think it is because they are very deep at each position. They might not be the highest rated players at each position, but the owner probably has a good idea on how to build his team and it is probably pretty easy to make sure the team is on the same page tactics wise for each game.

honestly.. Ive had very little time to set tactics this season but took advice I got a season or two ago to, "find a good plan and make minor tweaks each game IF you need to". The Poison have (since we started) always been on average, behind in levels in comparison to the rest of BBB 16.

I think builds are huge.. as well as depth. Being that many of the players are my own, (I would love to get my guys off the team but dont have time for such a big overhaul) I can control what each of the guys builds are. I think this is whats kept us in the runnings.

The downside, for me at least, will be in upcoming seasons. Im a college student and cant afford to boost all these guys.. so.. I see us falling towards the bottom sooner or later as the rest of you guys boost way ahead. At some point.. the higher lvls will win out.




oh and.. it may just be the boobs.

They have two things going for them.

1) Solid builds. When we played them, I noticed they had guys with better skill bars than ours despite lower levels.

2) 80% of the team is owned by one guy. That means that come game time, most - if not all - of the players are on the exact same page. I am lucky if all of us even have the same frigging book.

Then you have proper game planning, but that is a little subjective at this point in GLB considering the wild fluctuation in talent from team to team.

Every year I look at the Poison and think we have a good chance of beating them. Every year they beat us down with a bag of hammers. It's gotta be the boobs! They are a well coached and managed team. Someday we'll beat them, damn it!
