Thanks gerry. I'm probably gonna take a crack at this.

Crack away, sly. Your chance of success is as least as good as mine. I'd just love to see someone do it.

I'll put together a team this weekend.

Great, nc! I'd love to see you or anyone pull it off.

i'll see if i can get into that same league... worth a shot.

The league gerry and I are in has filled. More noobs than I expected to see, but there are still plenty of squads loaded with 3s. To win, either gerry or I would have to get past coolmay_one, Ginandjuice, cknauer, terrapin43, and thehalls4549 - as well as each other.

bummer that christspeak isn't in there, but you've definitely got some decent competition. I don't think I've ever seen him not make the conference finals in any league I've been in with him. Always has a solid team. gl to you both! I really want to see someone prove me wrong.

Yeah, I haven't been in a league with christspeak since forever - but then, I haven't been in an open league since forever. He was Mr. Cookie Cutter for quite a while, but it looks like he's been branching out and experimenting a lot (but still winning).

like most guys that do well in the open leagues (consistently), he has some of the same ingredients in his teams... often, though, instead of just going moses/rodman rest 3s, he does something like getting three frontcourt rebounders (barkley at SF almost always)... and the rest 3s lol. He and I actually build teams a very similar way.

Here's gerry's team from the same league I'm in:


Team: Old Skool
Coach: gerryred
Arena: Cincinnati Gardens Record: 0-1
Home: 0-1
Away: 0-0 Conference: 0-1 (11th)
Division: 0-1 (6th)

By the way, if anyone knows of a cleaner way to cut and paste from the WIS stat pages, please let me know.

im absolutely up for this challenge...will get a team together sometime this week

Hmm. I'm going to have to make another OL team just to make sure you guys have some real competition =p

Cool. I love the fact that this is generating some interest.

wow

if sly, scud, nc and ash all join the same OL, I will too.

I'll try to throw something together (but no guarantees).
