: MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISH:
In all seriousness, can I show y'all something?

AVG PPG / AVG PIP (points in paint)

TEAM A 84.0 / 73.50 (87%)
TEAM B 90.0 / 72.0 (80%)
TEAM C 104.3 / 82.6 (79%)
TEAM D 91.2 / 67.6 (79%)
TEAM E 94.5 / 63.0 (66%)

Are y'all serious? Almost +75% of your total points are the paint? Do you KNOW how to shoot a jumper? Seriously guys what's wrong with jumpers? Oh wait, I know, they're hard to make. Yeah, it's starting early this year, but it's coming from me this time. The PIP scoring is getting out of control. Oh, and I brought visual aids too. See the link below, a game between two of the teams above:

Those shot charts are not simulation basketball. It's two guys playing NBA Jam. Dunks and threes all game! Guys I try my best not to bring up PIP, but when it's this obvious and this bad, I gotta say something. And don't give me, "Well the offense isn't playing any defense in the paint." Not on every play down the court. We don't have any rules against PIP, but if this continues, we will.

UCANTSEEME/CHAPMAN19150
Since you guys didn't play your game I had to randomly determine a winner. If either of you have one more random determined game, I will replace you. In the future, please contact me if you guys can't connect to play and we'll work something out. If you don't, I'll assume you guys just flaked. Cool? Yeah.
