I think my team peaked bottomed on this final week: Nine games played, eight assists.

Our trade was an absolute scam, sorry

Instead of a win-win deal it turned out as the final nail in your coffin

I know, right? LOL

Can you still drop/pick up players from the waiver wire during the playoffs?

I think so, i'm not certain though.

Proud of my team tanking to stop EG getting in

Losing by an exact amount where i keep my spot and also prevent others from getting in

Hinkie would be proud of me.

He isn't getting the requisite 6 or 7 categories from me anyway. I should actually win 5-4 unless Booker manages to outscore Klay/Durant by himself in the fourth/hits like three or four threes himself, while Klay/Durant don't hit any.

He talked a big game and changed his lineup a lot to try and take me down but at the end of the day, just short.

Challenge now is beating Luca. Durant and Klay who are obviously two of my best players have only two games next week ffs. An upset is very possible

Edit: I still appreciate your effort though. You too Luca

"Talked a big game" boy, I was leading 6-3 for most of the week, I always was going to beat you 6-3 but I had to make those many changes to get in forwards that can help me with blocks to try and go for the 7-2 victory, but at the end of the day they didn't show up, and those players that I took out cost me the threes category marginally.

Since week 8, after I didn't have to manage with 4 to 5 injured players anymore, I had the 3rd best record in the league (63 wins) after Warrior (72 wins) and Vibe (69 wins). You could sense the fear in Mole, hence he clearly tanked the past game week. It's all good though, Freeza will probably make cheap work of him.

My toughest duels this season came from Warrior and Freeza, hence I hope one of them wins.
Vibe stands a good punchers chance.

I didn't actually tank anything lol, i picked everyone i had every game.

I just had a bad week, i just said i was tanking for a laugh lmao.

Nobody is afraid of your bum team, besides what's their to be afraid of? even if you made it we wouldn't play before the finals.

At least think before you write such nonsense lol.

Also the injuries excuses are hilarious, I've had multiple injuries every week for pretty much the entire season even right down to this week.

But i don't make excuses because nobody actually cares, you had 20+ weeks to have more wins than 6th place and you failed the end.

Uhhm, Embiid and Sabonis were both injured but you didn't put them in IL to get replacements. Probably wouldn't have done much of a difference, but still, you didn't try hard enough, but then again why would you when you know there is hot Harden and Trae Young led team behind your heels that could make or break the entire playoffs

Can't look past that mate when for the first 7 weeks I constantly had 4-5 injuries, and suffered cruel losses which in the end cost me big time.

Above I gave a decent reasonable stat on when my team was fully fit more or less with its overall quality and performance related to the rest of the league, of course I still had a few players missing here and there like everyone else.

Because the injury report was basically day to day and i didn't want to risk bringing them back a day late because of how swapping players work.

Also you need to get over yourself lol, even if you make the playoffs i can't play you till the finals so why would i care?

The likelihood of both of us getting there would be slim to none.

To be honest El G had his first two picks injured for a part of the season (Harden and Love). If i had the same bad luck with Towns and George i'd be out of the playoffs too.

Severe injuries to key players can be an excuse imo. Unless they were injured before the draft and you took a guess example DeMarcus Cousins, but that wasn't the case here.

Anyway i'm ready for Freeza/Mole. I have a full week to fix my sole problem which is my 13th player spot. Made a bad move dropping Dennis Smith for Gary Harris, i watch Nuggets friday and he was terrible, he did nothing.

^^ Yeah bruh, I saw that, that move made no sense, not even on the current stats that they had at the time. DSJ has bad efficiency, but Harris ain't much better at all in that regard.

It's a shame you'll get Freeza in the semis, would have made for a really good final.

Don't know about you but I would have made it that far

lol injuries aren't a valid excuse.

Especially not when you draft Kevin Love of all people.

An excuse for Harden but not Love. It's like drafting CP3. You gotta own that risk.

How much time did Harden miss though?

Meanwhile Luca made it and I bet LeBron missed more time than Harden

Harden missed 4 games lol

very quite easy for you guys to say because you weren't in the same situation and didn't see the clear effect it had on results.

I mean it's quite easy to see and my stats for the first 7 weeks compared to the last 13 back up my team's actual quality, it's so brutally obvious But you guys are just being typical contrarians and pisstakers

If it was only Love, it wouldn't have been a big deal, if it was only Harden it wouldn't have been a big deal. But it was both + plus other important role players for an extended period.

Luca, set your lineups

or Mole, set Luca's lineups

Can't have unset lineups in the playoffs where boys become men

My 1st pick, Kawhi, has rested 20 games and counting without injuries, lol. And my 2nd pick, Oladipo, played 36 games before ending his season. It was fun, though, for my first participation.

Kawhi you’re not getting a pass on lol. That was 100% expected after a long injury like that.

Drafting injury prone players and using it as an excuse afterwards is one hell of a move.

EG is the worst offender though.

Hell. If EG has to blame anyone it’s that he traded away Kyrie for CJ straight up

Why we aren't playing this week ffs. It's fine to have a bye week but i'd have taken an exhibition beef vs Vibe or El G just for fun.

Didn't know Love was injury prone, if so, it's less of an excuse. Same for Leonard i didn't know... felt sorry for Art and i lend him some precious help. It's bs that he misses so many games, he could play less minutes in more games instead, Raptors have the bench to cover this (only) flaw he has.

"lend him precious help"

Warrior said, as he took a shovel and buried what remained of Art 6 feet under, with a picture of Kanter clutched to his chest

I set them. My bad. I’m usually good, just forgot today
