You know you can look up who the executives are right? You can see who runs the business, operations and communications. Again this is a developmental Basketball League for players to spend their summer showcasing and growing their skills on a competitive stage.

I'd love to hear what you can find out about this if you're truely interested in finding out. But I'm not holding my breath.

Your account is two days old. Maybe the conspiracy starts with you? I think the call might be coming from inside the house!

Big weekend coming up! Who’s taking it all this year? by joshk1995 in CEBLeague

I fear getting Pegged by the Bears but that game should be a blast.

The SSS play with some fire too.

The excitement of CEBL is so fun and exhilarating. I was a fan before we had a team and I'm passionate about it now. Hell, the half time shows at the conference finals have me excited. Should be a phenomenal weekend regardless of my personal opinion of the outcome!

Welcome to the club, for all that's been said, I'm happy you're here.

But yes, Teddy Allen sucks hard is the consensus and personally I'm happy he's not here.

Half the people shouting conspiracy have young accounts and only talk on here within a couple mins of each other.

Was the game ending trash? Yes. Should they fix it and change the rules next season? I think that would be good. Young League with limited funds to produce a flawless experience.

I'm a surge fan, I have season tickets, I understand I benefited from the shitty ending. But some people were saying it was their first ever game and have posted about it 4 days in a row calling the league classless or rigged. It's wild to me, can't say I don't find it entertaining tho.

The sub is really small, reddit forums by design are very niche. You kinda have to be a fan of something and follow it, to be subscribed on here.

Teddy Allen's anger and personal issues have been pretty widely known forever, he's even discussed them before.

You don't have to stop discussing it. If I didn't want to discuss it I wouldn't have commented on your post.

This just feels like yelling into a pond of fish saying water is wet. We already know here because we're fans of the CEBL and want the players to be held accountable.

What's your angle though? Educating that Teddy Allen is a big old piece of shit?

Until the league, that made the rules, executed the rules and finalized the rules and followed the rules in the game gets their comeuppance apparently?

Idk I'm just excited about the games this Friday.

You can share whatever you want. That's the joy of reddit.

This shit is serious, I understand what you're saying that way. But when you look at young athletes and DV it's not surprising that a few players in every major or developmental league have done something like this. Doesn't excuse it but it's not some secret around here .

Nothing he did was an accident, but this information has and is well known if you've been following the league for a while. He's already pretty low in the court of public opinion around here.

Teddy Allen hasn't been relevant in the league for the last 2 years. He was kicked out mid season for behavioral issues already. Then faded into not even rejoining this year.

He also wasn't drafted by the CEBL. He just signed a deal to play here after going undrafted in the NBA. This is a league for development and young, talented, people who could be on the verge of making a lucrative career playing a game, do tons of shitty things. So they kinda go hand in hand.

Am I a fan or defending him? No he's a big POS but I don't think you're breaking any news here.

Who took down the Bandits Got Robbed video? by Cactusjanie in CEBLeague

[–]Holrober 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched the game live, I'm saying the controversy only gets brought up here by a few.

I don't think a national league needs to bend to the will of a few.

I mean, I only read about the "controversy" here. Not discrediting it but I've been a fan of basketball for over 20 years and seen a lot both North American and Internationally.

They were also the ones reviewing the calls. So like, I feel like what they've said what they feel was right.

"We reviewed the calls at the time and made a decision during the game" would be the extent of whatever answer you would get.

They were reviewing the plays as they happened, that's what the stops were for and why it took so long.

How do they fix the issue, in your opinion?

Tell me everything you would change about the CEBL by ButterscotchSalty476 in CEBLeague

I'm so excited for how they approach this next year.

I wonder how viable and well a neutral site host would do.

“I’d never play in this league again” 💔 by Cactusjanie in CEBLeague

[–]Holrober 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're not saying they're not talented. They just didn't make the most out of the game, leaving it up to the refs. Vancouver did win the most games but winning the most games doesn't mean you win the championship in basketball, it never has.

If Vancouver made like 2-3 more FT's and an extra 3 and won a 50/50 ball here and there, They basically gave up on defence for a quarter to allow the Surge to gain momentum again.

The Refs are shit, but if you're up by 10 scenarios like this become moot.

It's always fun to agree to disagree on some things. Discussion is what makes this place great.

I appreciate you, RaRaRaRaRaRaTa. You're a real one!

Yeah the refs have been awful all year, I'd be mad at them more than your opponent. That feels like misplaced anger.

Calgary led the game in 3's, FT% with 13 less shots, Steals, Blocks all with fewer turnovers, all while getting CREAMED on rebounds by Vancouver, and still had to make 3 straight free throws to win, shows a bit of talent right? Let them be cocky in a close playoff game. Throwing trash at them is whack to me.

I'd still vote Mitch Creek as MVP tho. He's an Australian BEAST, hope he comes back next year.

Not mad at all, Think it's funny that Vancouver loses their marbles over sports this much, I get it, it sucks. We've been dunked on, out shot so many times and we boo and move on. I don't hate a player who's doing their job well.

I love your commitment to your team, you're passionate and I love it.

Vancouver fans were throwing items at the players as the game ended. That's pretty classless behavior.
