Butler and Bogdan with GTDs to enter the day, i have a full line-up which already left one of them out, so i put the supposed fit Jalen Smith in for the other GTD only for Jalen Smith to miss the game through "feeling under the weather" and both of Butler and Bogdan to play

gunna go down to the wire between me and Mr. Urban

Come on, Warrior and Urban, you can't let us repeat last year's final x)

Ps. Moved Fox to IL, I bet he's going to play the next game now.

I will do my best to avoid that

Problem is, my team is still living that bye life. If i can outlive the CP3 karmajinx maybe my guys will remember how to put the orange ball in the basket.

you intentionally dodging me??
you have one available IL spot to put CPhoe in

He might come back tonight that's why

placing your hopes on the plausibility on a player you picked up from the waivers... damn
i guess this is the stage of the season where the contenders get separated from the pretenders... the contenders from the one who has #FANTASYPEDIGREE

Well guys, here it goes...

I know it won't be easy for you, but I have decided to retire from GL NBA. End of an era is here. This is like Valentino Rossi retiring from MotoGP, Schumacher from F1, this league is losing it's GOAT.

I just don't have the time anymore to truly dedicate myself to this and I've achieved everything in this league, the final milestone being the destruction of Habs, this years champion.

The league is in good hands with Habs taking over as the most high profile player, though no one will ever achieve the heights that my Numpties have reached.

Goodbye

You're 100% gonna pull an Aldridge

I do all this while being the busiest guy ever. 4 jobs 2 part time gfs and social activities every day. No excuses

Didn't you quit your job to fully dedicate yourself to fantasy, gtfo

Honestly I would love to return, but crypto has consumed me. I used to tinker with my team every day, now I tinker with my crypto instead.

Fuck crypto. Ruining my life piece by piece. Well this is the first piece but it hurts.

Habs been trash this week. Gonna be close and there is still hope for a big late push. Sabbriq, Edwards, Doncic, Graham all those guys can do much better. It's now or never

Missing both Fox and Hart for the whole week is hurting me. Gg to Warrior whatever happens today (Sunday).

Yes, GG, you could have won this beef if you used 1-2 more streamers throughout the week

It's now time for the grand finale the first place vs the pedigree
I hope for a fair week with no bs injuries/rest/DNP

Gg El G, it was a close one but you deserved it in the end.

It’s always a crappy feeling when the season is over

4-0 over you for the season, and all of them were extremely tough beefs. Respect see you next season

i wanted to come in here and say the same thing... Art really left that one on the table. Could have had ourselves a repeat of last year's final...


BUT INSTEAD... I got what I wanted, this season just wouldn't feel right if i didn't have a victory over Habs :

Tonight might be decisive. Need a big push at least 200 points and 15 steals. It's a lot to ask but not impossible either, those were our strongest categories all season.

Scheduling is screwing me a bit. Saturday is crazy stuff to resist then 12 vs 12 to finish the season, it gets complicated to win unless there are many duds on your side. Fun fact for many months i was enthusiastic about Cleveland's 5 games week in the finals only to end up with Moses smh. I love the guy but fuck me.

started out strong and been solid all nights so far, you had one of the best nights i had ever seen in fantasy though on Wednesday. Proper finals matchup, only something that the two best teams in the league can produce.

El G has like a 5-7 game lead on whoever he plays every week lol

all comes down to tonight...

Embiid and Butler will probably sit out their back-to-backs, so i feel like at least one of the % categories needs to come my way to edge out the win

If those guys sit it gets interesting but you have big leads and i still need a few guys to go berserk. It's not over yet but we are on the edge of the cliff

Dwayne Casey from Detroit, this fraud coach screwed me the other night, bench Saddiq Bey for no reason while he is setting franchise records in 3 pt shots. He might do it again today ffs

Eh there'd have to be some monumentally bad games for El G to lose this. He's got safe leads in everything but the % cats.

This is kinda why I'm out on fantasy bball though. I'll play again next year, but you can't overcome large deficits in games played. I'd be more supportive of a league/game that equalizes games played per opponent per week. Basketball is the only sport where this is an issue because of back to backs and the fact that sometimes a player could have 5 games in a week and sometimes it's 2.

The team with the better constructed roster should win, generally. But in fantasy bball, superior roster construction is really just one part of a couple of components to winning. Playing the add/drop game is just as important. It's crazy to me the idea that there is incentive to owners to continually rotate in and out trash players instead of just maximizing your roster for the build you want.

It's also why I genuinely believe league title in this game >>> playoffs.

Over the course of the 22 weeks or whatever it is, games played is generally smoothed out and equalized. Sometimes you have an advantage one week, sometimes you're at a disadvantage. The nature of the playoffs being one-offs mean that you can lose just due to scheduling. Unless you specifically plan for scheduling, and the idea that I'm looking forward at how many teams play 4 times in one week during a playoff week like 24 weeks in the future and drafting those players to maximize my ability in the playoffs...that's ridiculous and stupid to me. I just want to draft well and find some gems and build a good solid team

never heard someone bitch so much when they didn't even make the final four

@Warrior, it's far from over. They will almost likely sit out i'm telling you. And even if they all play, one-day swings are a thing in fantasy. If you repeat your Wednesday night performance you are surely overtaking me in at least one of 3s, Pts or Rebounds.

There is still 0.001% chance to win this, i just need Poole to commit 13 turnovers

I'm not really bitching, I've been saying this since before the season started. I've always felt like fantasy bball is extremely fuckin stupid in this way. Any one week in fantasy bball means not much, the same way it does in the ridiculously long NBA season. However, over the course of an entire season, things smooth out in a way that makes sense

And I finished the league 1 game behind you in the league lol so I'd pipe down.

It's important to build a good core but i like to rotate 1 or 2 spots to adjust vs my current opponent. It's the most logical way to play.

Injuries and rest days suck but they add drama to the game. It is what it is.

Congrats El G it's been a great final
