Tehran started the season 2-2 and beat two .500+ teams (including the 12-5 Bullets by 125-102 on 11/01/2013).  [http://abcalegends.com/boxes/box18-3.htm]  They've since gone on a massive slide and have shown zero ability to string together multiple wins going on losing streaks of 5,4 and 4 games.  Talk about tanking! 

Belgrade started the season 3-0 and beat London (13-7), Limoges (6-14), and Argentina Atenas de Cordoba (8-11).  Then, Belgrade dropped 16 straight games (losses include an 86-48 trumping to CSKA Moscow and 97-56 beat down to the Islanders) before winning the last 2.  The epitome of a competitive team attempting to develop players while also looking to win.  A much more impressive feat in this author's opinion.

Let's call out Tehran for tanking people!

Tehran - use the game recommended settings and tweak from there. There is no way your team is worse than .500 with decent settings.

Agreed...KK's team is clearly crap, but Tehran should be one of the top in Eurasia with some adjustments. They certainly have depth to spare.

[Tyler]

This needs to be an article. Get to work KK... or Tehran if he's fast enough

[Joe]

2 things, first of all you are forgetting someone in the race for number 1. Second depth clearly isn't as important as having a superstar which tehran is missing.

Did you not see the slash troll at the end (/troll)?  It was a joke meant to highlight MY TEAMS horrific talent (terrible point differential) and point out how UNLUCKY your team has been.  However, seeing other GMs calling the team as underachievers considering the talent level, maybe I wasn't off?    We're just here to have fun, man.  No offense intended of course.

Also, was this part (about my team) not indicative of me just being sarcastic?

"The epitome of a competitive team attempting to develop players while also looking to win." - discussing a team with a point differential of -14.5 per game

Great analysis but there is a little thing called the lottery.
