As always Paris is overrated.

[APMP]

LMAO projecting Mumbai to win 73 games?!?!

[CaseyBlakeDeWitt]

6th-best team by power ranking while missing the playoffs is pretty fun. Shaping up to be an exciting wild card race this year in the ABL

Rome talking some smack to the BACK TO BACK CHAMPIIIONS!

Not sure how my Foxes rate so high.  We're in full rebuild mode and we lost 92 games this past season.  If we do somehow manage to finish over .500, though, I'll consider it a pleasant surprise.
