Been a couple of months since Funk Coalition’s latest rebuild. If you’re counting, that’s three major rebuilds in about three seasons, starting with the pre-draft acquisition of Rajon Rondo in 2012. Apparently, building a winning team around Rondo is difficult. Very difficult. With their lone 2015 win coming against fellow undefeated Fob Stars, GM Jon saw the need to reshape their roster yet again. High draft picks. Hard to say, but this roster suddenly got a lot more cohesive in its flaws. This was thei...

1 Sour Snails (17-1-1) vs #3 Fat Jubas (11-6-2). Trieu’s been here before. Many times in fact. The Sour Snails are a little sore, with DeMarcus Cousins, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler are all ailing, making them slightly vulnerable. The question is, can Fat Jubas take advantage? Eric’s team is out-talented at nearly position but this former champ. We're hoping Steve Nash's retirement announcement will pump up Eric's squad and make this a matchup to remember. After last year’s dream run. Two straight twe...

It’s been a semi-quiet SlamNation season, especially after the blockbuster moves. As a league, I think we have at least three more trades in us before the regular season ends. Am I going to personally push everyone to get on the trade chatter? Feel free to email, text, AIM chat, GroupMe, whatever. Let’s get some trades in! Pogiboys could have seven to eight keepers on their hands, why not move a few pieces now for draft picks? Here’s a most logical trade. Half Man Half ImAsian already have LaMa...Beast B...

SlamNation: 2015 Toilet Bowl: Losers First
http://slam-nation.blogspot.com/2015/04/2015-toilet-bowl-losers-first.html
2015 Toilet Bowl: Losers First. Well, it was. Only fitting that during a Toilet Bowl season where every matchup was won by the underdog, our 2015 Toilet Bowl champions, Funk Coalition, were the worst team in the regular season, and now they’ll be rewarded with the #1 pick in the next draft. (Last season’s Toilet Bowl finals featured both #1 seeds. While this year’s was both #4 seeds. Congrats to Funk for their first Toilet Bowl! Either way, with so many potential stars in the upcoming 2015 NBA Draft, bot...

Russell Conference: Voltron Division. For most of the past five seasons, Voltron has sent only one representative to the playoffs. Last season was the first time they had to double digit winners, as both So Buckets and Super Ninja (now Fighting Dragons) made it to the post-season. This year, Voltron will be out to close the gap. Between them and fellow Russell Conference division mates, the ultra-competitive Thundercats. [2014 Preview]. 4: MoRRie’s Pogiboys (6-13, 8-10-1). Coming on board this season?

Chamberlain Conference: Silverhawks Division. Two former champions have come from this division, but at the other end of the spectrum are two teams that have traditionally been doormats. Is the shift of power beginning, or will Sour Snails and Fat Jubas continue to duke it out for Silverhawks supremacy? 2: Jedi Knights (3-14-2, 2-10). It's been a dark place at the bottom for Lum and his faithful Jedi Knights. A few of their bigger trades. Have turned out awful. That needs an injection of talent. Status: ...

SlamNation: 2015 Championship: Splashing In
http://slam-nation.blogspot.com/2015/04/2015-championship-splashing-in.html
2015 Championship: Splashing In. A lot of superlatives guys because Sour Snails, the undisputed regular season king of SlamNation, has won their second title. Of the new cycle, thus becoming our first two time champion. And they did it in dominating fashion. With a six year regular season record of 65-21-1 for a 75.6% winning percentage, Sour Snails has made it into the playoffs every season save one (and that was the year they made the Toilet Bowl finals. Won a title in 2010. In his absolute prime.

I know it’s early. But we’ve already got a few frontrunners and a few teams who have stumbled out of the gate. Fat Jubas and Spade, the past two champions, are both sitting pretty at 3-0 while Jedi Knights, Fob Stars, and So Buckets have yet to pick up a win. Let’s take a look. Coming off of a huge trade for Chris Paul. Pushing the pace on this disciplined team is the way to go, as a sharpshooting team can outscore them in bunches, capitalize on this team's lack of 3PT, and maybe take them out in STL.
