Build a Franchise (Season 5) Bubble Tournament Edition

There are two guys I feel I missed out on that were available. Boban and Poole lol! I legit thought Poole couldn’t be signed at the time he was, and as much as Tobi told our front office to grab Bobi we dragged our feet. Now he’s out here draining threes. Smh lol.

Should be close games tomorrow night. I fully expect the Clippers and Pacers to go down to the last minute. Charlotte will need a great effort from their balanced rotation against Portland; but crazier things have happened.

No more experiments. Its second round bubble playoff basketball.

Oh wow I didn’t even notice we’re in the 2nd round already. That was quick! This weekends games consist of teams with active GMs who are hungry to win. I’m expecting a great show!

The only experiment I did not try was Rubio starting at PG and Doncic at SF. I am sure that is a no go for games that count; but it was a thought to try out.

I’ll likely have time to stream your team around 9:30PM if you want. I’ll let you test your squad against anyone but the Clips. I’m thinking Charlotte would be a nice match.

We're holding Buzz under 20. Which is promising because we're only scoring 17.

I am thinking you will probably kick my ass. Your stars need to get going and on paper they should to be honest. I get plenty out of Doncic; but not much from anyone else. I think that catches up with me tomorrow night.

We'll see. So far 2k hasn't respected my scorers at all. This combo might just be ill suited to the format. Should be a battle!

I think SGA is going to get a good bump; but PG13 and Conley have been around so long its more like wysiwyg.

I still like your mix better than mine; and that is all due to how bad Zion is. I have probably played 20 - 30 games. I can only recall two where he scored like 18 points. I don't think he has broke 20 since I took this team over.

So far no 2nd team. We still have some time though.
